Resotref, That we regard with the deep
est interest and anxiety the present discr-
dered condition of our national afairs--a
portion Of the country rayaged by civil war,
large sections Of our population elnbittered
BY mutual recriminatious; and We distinct
ly trace these calamities to the culpable
neglect of dufy BY the present national
administration.

continuance of the National Union.
Resolved, That the Wings Of the United
States declare as fundamental article of
political faith. an absolute necessity for
avoiding geographical parties. The danger
SO clearly discerned by the s'Father of bis
Country" has now become fearfully aPpar-
ent in the agitation new eonvulsing the M
