1861
After few pa,rio'ic remarks from
the Chair, Il Committee On ls"so!n-
tons was appointed, consisting Of
/ Hon. V. r. Humphrey, :. ii. Pit
kin. and William Hunt, who report
cd the following resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted:
/ Resolved, That we regret the action of the
state Convention at Columbus, on the Ith
instant, as well in regard to its nominations
as resolutions; believing that after cordial
i invitation for union Ind been extended by
/ the Republican organization, the grave and
momentous national crisis demanded at least
an effort TO form such union upon an honor
able basis, before huTIying INTO precipltate
nomination OF candidates for state Offices,
without even noticing the invitation.
( Resolved, That we see nothing the can
dilateS, which, had they been brought for
ward under different circumstances would
prevent us from yielding them our hearty
support.
Resolved, That though the resolutions
may contain much that is painfully true, ye
in our Judgment. at this time, they smach
too much of partisan TancOt-they do no
evince the right spirit.
Resolved, That the resolution denouncing
the President for suspendlng the writ o
. habeas corpus is in direct conflict with on
convictions on the subject-in that paTtio

demanded the exercise of that power-tha
he possessed the authority, we entertain NJ
/ doubt. for the following reasons, to wlt'

which branch of the iederal government, o
Legislative or Executive, shall be clothed
, with It.
