opposed to the republican teachings Of the fathers
OF ~ noblest work, bequeathed US by wise and
patS1ovVc ancestry, and doctrines which, if esta-
blished, would sooner or later have sundered the
ties which bind us together great brother
hood OF freemen; and whereas the same party,
after having been the first to abandon old party d.
visions and force their reasonable views upon the

stump orators and their presses in the most solemn
form.

made by portions of the self-styled Southern
Rights party" looking to reorganization upon
old party lines, we can recognise no other purpose
than the attainment of political ascendancy with
view to the spoils Of public Office, else driven
by defeat to seek refuge under some new name,
that from masked battery they may more sffec-
fuaiiy assal the integrity Of the Constitution and
the Union.
g. Resolved, That VIC can but regard with feel
lngs OF COMMUNICATION the political honesty or pa
trlotism OF any party who only maintain their pm.
clpies and party organization when political tri-
umPh promises their reward, but are ready to de-
sert beth when overwhelmed with defeat.
3. Resolved, That the dictates of patriotism, as
well as every other obligation of good faith to one
another, impel the members of the Constitutional
Union party to maintain their organization upon
the principles they rallied in the recent canvass
and upon which, by united and common effort,
they achieved a common and glorious triumph
