present day, has always been, and still is,
in the most emphatic sense, Union party
devoted to the conservation of the Union
on the great principles on which that Union
was formed, and there is, therefore, nei-
ther necessity or propriety that calls upon
the Democratic party to abandon its time
honored principles with view to the for
nation of new political organization.
ReSolVcd, That we unquaifedly con-
denim the action of the so called Confed.
crate States in their secession from and
rebellion against the National Government,
believing as we do that every real wrong
which that section of the Union has at any
time suffered, might have been fully re.
dressed under our National Constitution
and in the Union.
ReSoiutd, That We are ready to uni'e in
political action with every citizen for the
suppression of the present rebellion, for
preserving, protecting and defending the
Constitution and for faithfully executing
the laws, and that We are opposed to any
war, and equally to any peace which is
based upon the idea of the separation of
these States.
ReSolDea, That this war should not be
waged for conquest or subjugation, nor for
the purpose of overthrowing or interfering
with the rights or established institutions
of the States, but to defend and maintain
the supremacy of the Constitution and to
preserve the Union.
ReSolved, That the volunteer soldiers,
who at the call of their country, promptly
went forth to do battle in defence of the
Constitution and laws, are entitled to our
hearty thanks for the gallant manner in
which they have discharged their duties.
