their posterity; that in accordance with the
forms prescribed by that instrument and by the
laws Of Congress, Abraham Lincoln Vas elected
By the voluntary suffrages of the people - the
Chief Magistrate of the United States for the
term Of four years; that before he had taken the
cath Of Office Or exercised any Of the powers
With which he has been clothed, certain States
ef the Union passed ordinances Of Secession, a.
ssning thereby to b no longer . part Of, nor
slbjsct TO the laws Of the United States; tia:
soon afterwards they organized separate Con-
federation, proclaimed their independence of, and
hostility to the Federal Government, and from
that time to the present have wsged causeless,
= Uerciless, and barbsrous warfare against the
Republic to which they owe perpetual gratitude
end allegiance. s"T
3. That for the maintenance Of the Govern
nent in this the hour Of its peril, it Is the duty
Of every citizen to devote time, labor, property,

with authority to use the slaves of Traitors fol
oil military purposes.
4. That We abhor oil sympathixers with seces
sion who, to cover their REASONABLE sentiments
raise The cry Of Abolidonism; but that on the
contrary We will honor any loyal citizen, what
ever may have been bic former political associa-
ttions, who win sustain With ali his power the
struggle Of Democratic Republicanism against

8. That extending hearty welcome to those

Of giving the National Administration their hon
