forcing the laws, recapturing and preserving
the national forts, arsenals and other proper
ty, Furnishing traitors and in defending Union
men in all parts of the country.
Res0ired, That the doctrine thata State is
superior to the Federal Government, and
that the forYler has a paramount claim to our
allegiance and the consequent assumption of
the right of secession is repugnant to the
Constitution and to every principle of our
system of Government, and can only result
in the destruction of the Union and the es-
tablishment of general anarchy.
Rcsolycd, That we point with pride to the
general uprising of the people of all classes,
10th native and foreign born, in support of
the Federal Administration, as giving assu
rance to the world that we have II Govern
ment fixed in the hearts of the people and
which is able to withstand all shocks, wheth
er from domestic traitors of foreign foes and
as giving further assurance of a speedy re
turn of peace by thorough crushing out of
rebellion.

Union and the Constitution, and who favor
the enforcement Of the laws to unite with us

granting of valuable franchises to private
parties, unless clearly required by the public

corporated companies the right to eni y
