Cincinnati daily press. [volume] (Cincinnati [Ohio]) 1860-1862, 1861-09-30

Much feeling was exhibited in this city, on
learning that venerable Welsh minister, a
favorite in Cincinnati, resident in Tennessee,
hsd yielded to the pressure around him and
inculcated Secession. While the epidemic
rsges in that country, it is well nigh impos-
sible to have cool Judgment and healthy
mental condition. Passion there rules the
hour.
The New York congregations of Welsh
had conference recently in Utica, N. Y.
where Rev. James Davis, the aged and tai
ented Bishop from Cambria, Allen County,
o., attended. At Remsen the following reso-
lutions were adopted
l. That we believe in the supreme, uni
versal and special government of God,
through the mediation of his anointed son
Jesus Christ, who is Lord of lords and King
of kings; and that one Of the great ends of
Messiahs reign, amid the trials and changes,
rise and fall, of human governments, is the
overthrow of the kingdom of darkness, and
the restoration of man from sin and Satan to
wisdom, holiness, virtue, liberty, peace and
happiness.
3. That God has designed human Govern.
ments to defend the persons, reputation,
property and liberties of all their faithful
subjects, without destruction that they have
no right to interfere with their religions; that
they ought to govern in righteousness, and
according to the Word of God; that it is the
duty of the subjects to pray for their COVER
nors, to obey all their just and good laws, and
to support and defend their governments.
3. That all worldly governments, as long
as they will continue TO aim to reach the
great ends of Providence in their institution,
may expect the protection of heaven aud the
blessing of God for the continuance of their
peace and prosperity; but when they forget
God, despise the Gospel, oppress the people,
and sanction fraud and wickedness, they
have reasons to fear the judgments Of the
Most High in divers manners, which may
end in their severe punishment, if not in
aheir entire downfall.
4. That we believe that the "Bill of Rights"
and the Constitution" of the United States
of America TO be the best documents that
were ever drawn by the pen of man and
published to the world on civil government (;
the right of the people to elect their own
officers, and to enact and execute their own
laws the liberty of the pulpit, the platform,
and the press; and the Interchangeable Union
of the respective States for the general good,
and the protection of our persons, property
and liberties, against all traitors and en-.
emies domestic ard foreign.
5. That we believe our worthy President
His Excellency Abraham Lincoln, is the man
Of ITOUt6ence, hlghly quallhed for the pres
ent crisis; that the honorable members of
his Cabinet were wisely selected, and that
they are loyal men of great talent and
power; that the last Congress have passed
good and necessary laws; that we highly ap-
prove of the calling forth of the army and
navy to defend the Union, the Constitution,
the Government, and the liberties of the
people generally against the present most
uDj just rebellion Of the treacherous politi-
clans and Shareholders of the South; and
that we are ready to pledge our influence,
property and lives, to support and to defend
our Government.
6. That we believe the present rebellion to
be unparalleled in the history of all the civ
ilized nations of the world, as to its injustice,
stratagems, frauds, theffs boldness, and
cruelties; and that it ought to be subdued
speedily by the whole force of the Union,
AID its instigators severely punished.
Z. That we greatly rejoice that the Welsh
people generally throughout the States of the
Union are loyal and faithful men that so
many OF them have Joined the different
regiments of the Federal army, and that
they are determined to support and defend
the Government with their money, their
arms and blood against all our foes whomso-
ever.
8. That we most cordially indorse the sem
fiments contained in the proclamation of
recently issued by Major General John
4. Fremont and, as far as prae ticab'e, we
hope TO see them carried out through every
military department, until all the slaves of
every rebel are emancipated.
