Alter nearly one year and half spent in contest
with an armed and gigantic Rebellion agsinst tie
National Governments Of the United States, the duty
and purpose Of the loyal States and people continue,
and must always remain. rs they were at its origin,
namely TO restore and perpe,uate the authority Of
this Government, and the life Of tie nation. no mat.

Nevertheless, this work Of restoring the Republic.

and justifyng the hopes aud tolls Of our fathers.
shal not fail TO be performed and we pledge without
hesitation 10 the President Of the United States the
most loyal aud cordial support, hereafter as here.
tofore in the exercise Of the functons of bis great
office. We recognize in him the Chief Executive
Magistrate Of the Nation, the Commander. Chief
of the Army and Navy Of the United States, their
responsible and constitutional head, whose rightfdl
authority and power, as well as the constitu.
tional powers of Congress, must be vigor.
ousy and religiousy guarded and preserved %
the condition on hch alone our form Of government
and the constitutional rights aud liberties Of the peo
pie themselves can be saved from the wreck Of
ANARCHY, or from the gulf of deerorism. In submis-
sion to the laws which may have been or which may
be duly enacted and to the lawful orders Of the
President, cooperating always in our own spheres in
the National Government, we mean to continue In
the moet vigorous exercise Of all our lawful and
proper powers, cOntending against treason, rebel

the Union until it's cause shall conquer-unil final
victory shall perch upon its standard, or the Rebel
foe shall yield dutfu rightful, and unconditional
Submissions
Impressed with the conviction that an army Of re-
serve ought until the war shall end, to be constantly
kept on foot, to be raised, armed, equipped and
trained at home, and ready for emergencies, we 70.
spectiuly ask the President TO call for such force
OF volunteers for one years service Of not Less than
one hundred thousand in the aggregate the quota Of
each State to be raised after ii shall have filed ito
quotas OF the acquisitions already made for voun-
teers and for militia We believe that this would DO
measure of military prudence, while it would
greatly promote the military education Of the peo-
pie.
We hail with heartfelt gratitude AMI encouraged
hope the Proclamation Of the President issued on
tie 22d inst. declaring emancpated from their bond
age all persons held to service labor slaves II
the Rebel States whose Rebellion shsl last until the
first day of January ensuing. The right Of any per-
sons 10 retain authority to compsbosny portion Of
sl6sus3ee.s of the National Government V rstsl
against IT, or to rnaintain its enemies, imples in
those who are allowed the possession Of such an.
thorty the right to rebel themselves; and,
therefore, the right 20 establish martial
law or military government in State or Territory
in rebellion implies the right and the duty Of the
Government to liberate the minds of all men living
therein by appropriate proclanatons, and assurances
of protection in order that all who are capable In
tellectually and morally, Of loyalty and obedienes,
NAV not be forced into treason, as tho willing
tools of rebellious traitors To have continued
indefinitely the most efficient cause, support, and
stay Of the rebellion, would have been, IN
our Judgment, unjust 10 the loyal people whose
treasure and lives are made willing saerihee
ON the altar Of patriotism, would have dlscrimin.
a,ed AGAINST the wife who is compelled 10 surrender
her husband against the parent who surrendess his
child TO the hardships Of the camp and pers OF battle
and in favor Of Rebel masters thus permitted 70 retain
III eir slaves. Ii would have been hnai decision
alike against humanity, justice, the rights ana
dignity Of the Government, ana againc sound and
wise national policy. The decision OF tie President
IA strike a, tue root of the Rebellion will
lend new vgor to the efo'ts, and rev lie
and hope to the hearts Of the people. Cordially ten
derpg to the President our respectful assurances of
personal and official confidence we trust and believe
that the policy now inaugursted will be crowned
with success, will give speedy and triumphant VIC
tories over our enemies, and secure to this nation
and this people the blessing and favor OF Almighty
God. We believe that the blood 'of the heroes who
have already fallen, al those who may yet give up
their lives the country, will not have been shed in
vain.
The splendid valor of our soldiers, their patient
endurance, their manly patriotism, snd their devo-
ton to duty, demand IRON US and from all their
countrymen the homage of the trcerest gratitude,
and the pledge of our constant Reinforcement aud
support. A just regard for these brave men, whom
We have contributed to place in the feld and Cor the
importance Of the duties which may lawfully per-
tain to Us hereafter, has called US into friendly con-
ference.
And now, presenting to our National Chief Mag's-
tra,e this conclusion Of our deliberations, we &c.
vote ourselves TO our countrys service, and we viii
surround the President with our constant support.
trusting that the fidelity and zeal Of the loyal
States and people will always assuie him that he
will be constantly maintained in pursuing with vig"r
this for the preservation Of the national life and
the hopes Of humanity. ...
