Whereas a formidable rebellion now exists
in some portions of our favored country, having
for its avowed purpose the dismembering of
the noblest government ever conceived by
human genius, to the great detriment of the
happiness and prosperity of millions of our
fellow citizens, therefore,
Resolred That whilst we deprecate the ne
cessity of resorting to arms against people of
any section of our common country, we firmly
adhere to the sentiment that 1.-The Union must
and shall be preserved; :" and to accomplish
this end, pledge all honorable means of
support to the National Administration in their
efforts to suppress Treason and Traitors.
ResolUed That the present war is not waged
for the subjugation of the Southern States. to
hold them conquered provinces but for the
maintenance of our rights and the perpetua-
ton of the institutions handed down to us by
the trainers of our government and to re-
establish, where made null and void, the Con-
stitution and laws of our country.
Resolued, That in Abraham Lincoln. the
Chief Magistrate of the nation we have "a man
who has shown himself to be eminently quail
flied for the responsible position he now
holds. He has displayed firmness and pru-
dence in all his actions, and is guided by no
other motive than the welfare and best inter
est of his country. The People have abiding
confidence in him.
Resolred, That this Convention takes pleas
ure in presenting to their constituents the
ticket this day formed. The nominees are
well qualified for the duties of the several
offices 10 which they have been named, and
should receive the hearty support of the Peo-
pie of Cambria county.
On motion, the proceedings of the Con-
vention were ordered to be published in
