Hon. B A. HIoH was President, and B F.
STCUr SECRETARY A committee on Resolutions
was appointed, with J. M. HAAo as chairman,
Who repor ed the following, "hicn we're unani.
mously adopted:
Resolved, that the Democracy Of Henry
county are now, as they ever have been the de
voted and attached irierds oil tie American
Uuior; and that they ever vii, az they DO now
aud ever have, oppose oil attempts, from what
ever source they may come, 10 divide the states
of this holy and beau itul Union, the desruc
ton of which we regard as the saddest diSas-
ter that could beiall the civilized world; and,
In the language of the great obletain ei Dem
ocracy, emphsticslly declare that "the Union
must and snall be preserved"
Rssolued That we declare, as the sense OF
the Democracy of Henry, the sentiment oon-
tanned In what is known us the Critenden reso.
| luliona, adopted at the extra session OF Con-
gress, as the basis upon which this war should
| be conducted
RtsOiutd, That Democratic form Of Gov
ernment can exist alone 10 the virtue and pat
riotiem of lite citizens; and that In the language
OF Jackson, ''the Constitution cannot be msio-
tanned, nor the Union preserved, In opposition
| TO public feeling, by the mere exertion Of the
coercive powers coDfded to the general Gov
ernment. The foundations must be laid In the
ffectons Of the people; In the security which
it gives to life, liberty and property in every
quarter Of the country; and in the fraternal a.
tachments which the citiZsns of the several
States bear one to another as members OF one
political family, mutually contributing to pro-
mote the happiness of each other"
RtsOlusd, That, believing the sentiments of
Jackson TO be true, we consider IL the duty Of
Congress to direct it's Legislation 60 as to
strengthen In all the States of the Union that
foundation which "must be laid 10 the affections
of the people," and to cultivate that UNION
sENTxGsT which is necessary to our national
perpetoity.
Resoiued, That, entertaining these We've, We
cannot bus deprecate the course of J M. Ashley,
and his co.sgitstors, in forcing their fauaticAl
schemes upou Congress, and that we must re
gard the further agitation of these ultra Aboli.
ton doctrines, at this time, as an attempt to dis
solve The American Union.
kesoIued, That for the rebels In arms against
the Government, We have no terms TO offer out
unconditional submission to the laws and the
regularly constituted authorities of tie Govern
nsnt; and for this eod, and for the restoration
OF the Union as it was, we are in favor OF the
most vigorous prosecution of the war, and the
employ ment Of ell constitutional means for that
purpose. N
R.solvsa, That the refusal of the General
Assembly to permit our gallant soldiers in the
heId the tight to vote, was great and uDjusti'
,ble wrong to them, that ought not to have
been committed.
The following excellent ticket was nomiust-
ed. vs. hope to announce its election In octo
ber:
For Sheriff, J,hp p Rowan, County Recorder,
William F DsRgeu; County Commissioner,
