Sd. That, involved as we are in this unhappy
war, without any fault Of ou,s, we having eves
pointed 20 the warning Of the Father of bis Coun
try against the formation of sectional parties as
being dangerous TO the peace and union of the
country. it is nevertheless our duty. COON citi-
zens. 70 sustain the Government in such proper,
legitimate and constitutional means as may be
adopted for the prosecution of the war TO an hon
orabe peace: but we earnestly protesta against the
wastefulness, extrayagancee, favoritism ana want
Of energy of the Administration, ard against the
violation of the constitutional rights of the peo-
pie by the Executive and others, under the plea
of military necessity especially against the
suppression of the freedom of speech and of the
press and the unwarrantable suspension of that
great writ of freedom the kabeas corpus.
4th. That the deplorihle civil war in which
our country is involved with its long train Of re
sultiDg evils: its arrayng of section against sec
ton: its destructive blow 70 the rewards OF every
species of industry: its enormous increase of the
public debt to untold millions, necessitating per-
haps for generations to come odous direct taxa
ton upon the people and the imposition of high
protective tariffs for the benefit of capitalists, at
the expense of farmers and mechanics: the food
ing of the country by the Government with an
anti Democratic paper currency in the shape of
Treasury notes: the sacking of towns and the
desolation of large districts of country: the dri
wing of men, women and children from once
happy homes: the spillng of brothers blood and
the wall of widows and orphans, is the legitimate
result of the abandonment of Democratic princi-
piles and the triumph of sect;oDalism.
5th. That we hold it to be our duty as patriots,
should an opportunity happily offer, to tender to
the disloyal States such propositions of compro-
mise and conciliation-for instance, such as the
Crittenden proposition, for the amendment of the
Constitution-as will restore the Union.
9th. That we have no sympathy with North
ern Ab0litonism, or its legitimate offspring and
counterpart, Southern Secessionism and that we
denounce the attempt now being made by the abo-
ltionsts under various pretexts to convert the
war into a crusade for the emancipation of slaves,
for the purpose of driving the South out of the
appreciation of the recent modification by the
President of the abolition proclamation of Gen.
John c. Fremont and the removal of that officer
from his command in the West.
7th. That we honor the brave volunteers who
have gone from all parts of the loyal States and
from our midst, to uphold the flag of our country
that we advocate the passage BY Congress of a
bounty land law for their benefit and we de-
nounce the government contractors and specula-
tors, for fieecing brave soldiery and plunder-
ing the Treasury.
