The Committee on Resolutions having
returned, they we're called upon for their
report when the following resolves we're
read hy Mr.. Muliin and enthusiastically
adopted by the Convention;
RESOLUTIONS.
Pesolrea, That we, the representatives
OF the PEOPLE OF CAMBRIA County, in
convention assembled, duly approaching
the many blessings resulting from the
wIse and benignant institutions established
by our fathers, do hereby declare our
abiding confidence in a Republican form
of Government, and our fixed and unal-
terable devotion to the Constitution and
the Union under which we live.
Resolved, That the will of the majority,
when fairly and legally expressed, should
always be respected and obeyed, and when
wrongs or grievances exist, Of which there
Is just cause Of complaint, they should be
settled and redressed through the peace
ful and potent instrumentality Of the
baliot-box, and at all times in a manner
subordinate to, and in accordance with,
the mode prescribed by the Constitution
and laws Of our country
Resolued, therefore, That in the hostile
attitude and armed resistance made and
exhibited by portion OF the Southern
people, under the leadership of bad men,
against the legal and constitutional au-
thorities of the United States, we behold
Rebellion such as has never before dis
sraeed any age or country. Causeless,
iniquitous, and wicked in It's very incep-
tion, and aiming at the destruction of the
best and freest Government on earth, it is
to be alike deplored and condemned, not
only by the good and the patriotic in our
land, but by the down-trodden millions of !
foreign nations, who have so anxiouslv |
looked to us as their guide and their ex-
ample. -
ReSolUed, That we humbly conceive it |
to be the duty of Government to assert
and vindicate the supremacy of the Union
and the Constitution, and to crush this
Infamous Rebellion, and punish its guilty
at whatever cost of blood and
treasure and we pledge ourselves to sus-
tain any and every lawful measure, how
ever stringent, which may be adopted for
the attainment of these great objects
RcS0tUed, That in ABRAHAM LINCOLN,
and his able, honest, and patriotic cab
met, We have the most unboupded conf
dence they are emphatioally ''the right
men in the right place." and while they
are eminently entitled to our thanks and
gratitude for their noble efforts in behalf
OF our glorious Union, and their wise, iu-
dicious, and economical administration Of
all our national affairs, in this the most
trying period of our country's history,
they are also deserving Of the hearty sup
port and CO operation of all loyal men,
until Rebellion is crushed, and Treason
punished, and the authority Of the FEEDER
al Government restored to every inch of
its soil.
ResolUed, That no language is adequate
to express the contempt we feel for those
creatures, in the loyal states,
who, sympathizing with Treason and Re
bellion of the South, have no kind words
Of encouragement for our Union soldiers,
but are ever ready falsely and unjustly to
denounce the war as being "unconstitu-
tional," and waged only for the purposes
Of "abolitionism" and negro equality"
Recreant to their duty as American citi-
zens, and ungrateful to the Government
which protects them, these characters
will neither shoulder musket in behalf
Ct the Union, nor yet are they willing to
be taxed to pay the gallant spirits aoho
fglt .for Htcne. Treason in the South is
bad enough, but sympathy for it in the
North is infamous and the individual who
it does not deserve to be ranked
with the tories of the Revolution.
Rcs0tred, That we hereby express our
sincere thanks to that class of Senators
and Representatives in cur National Con-
gress, who, by their able efforts and timely
legislation, have so nohly strengthened
he hands of the President, and showed
themselves the true friends Of the Nation
Il Government in this the hour Of It's
peril
Reso1rcd, That tho able aud eff ,icnt ,
manner in which the administration of ,
Governor ANDREW c. CURTIN has been +
entities him to the highest
praise, and especially do we refer with t
satisfaction and pride 10 thar loyalty aud T
nd patriotism, that zeal and activity, and 3
hat goodness of heart Which he las so
