to accomplish that object.
s. Resolced, That to talk of di.bana-
ing onr army, or an armistice, at a time
wien formidable force is threatening
the gates of the federal capital, and de.
signing to seize the national archives,
is alike recreant TO the justice Of our
cause and the claims of duty, and is but
the repetition of the course Of the Hart
ford Convention which demanded peace
at a period when the country was engag

preservation of our national existence.

tirely any utilization with any party or

Laws" f'5.a a@.
7. RESOLVED, That we hold in high
estimation the service of our citizen SOL
diery who have volunteered at the CALI
of orr common country to jeopardize life,

tense, and their names deserved to be en-
rolled among those whose patriotic efforts
and whose gallant deeds constitute the
brightest pages of American history.
8. Resolved. That while we must re-
ly upon the intelligent judgment, earnest
purposes. and patriotic impulses of the
people 10 stand by our country in this,
hour Of her peril, we are ,mpelled to in
woke the hand of Divine Providence to-
interpose for her deliverance. Trusting
therefore in that arm which gave success
to our fathers in days which tried their.

more. God save the United States OF A.
