RESOLUTIONS.
|. ResOlred, That the civil strife in which
we are now engaged, has been forced upon
the nation by the wicked and causeless acts
of those who have long conspired its des-
tructlon. That the issues now presented
to the country are Union or Disunion. That
IN such contest there can be but two
patriots and traitors-that he who
IS not for the government is against it, and
he who counsels peace with armed rebels OF
endeavOrs to thwart the operations of the
Administration, i'll its conduct of the wal
by raising partisan issues or is not uncon
ditiOnal in support of the Administration il
its efforts to put down rebellion and to pun
ish traitors, though he may cloak his hy
pocrasy under the garb of the "ConStitu
ton as it is and the Union as it was" is
traitor at heart, and only waits favorabl,
opportunity to make his treason manifest b,
open acts.
2. Resolved, That we look upon the Ad
ministration in power as the only constituted
authority to enforce the laws and to pre-
serve the Union. That, outside of it, M
man or set of men have power to adopt an!
! policy for this end, laying aside all prefer
ences respecting measures, it is our duty Il
give to the policy adopted by it, our hearty
and earnest support; that the measure
which it may be necessary to effect the grea
purpose of defence and preservation, afforC
us the only hope of saving our country
and that, therefore, we believe it to be es
sential to the existence of the nation tina
> these measures should be carried out; tha
t the war should be vigorously prosecuted
that there should be no compromise witt
! armed traitors or their sympathizers anc
that the Administration should be cordiaIl

serve our liberties 'aasa

OF said committee, requesting Gen. Fremont,
II the government would sanction it, to take
command with Gen. Mitchell of an army
corps of $1,000 men to be raised from differ
ent States. The Secretary of War replies that
Gen. Mitchell has been assigned a command,
and that the raising of volunteers in New
York has been assigned to the Governor, who
is faithfully performing his duty, and no reason
exists for interfering with him. Authorizing
military officers OF high rank to raise army
corps will be productive of DISCRIMINATION.
and the War Department cannot consent that
any Major General should organize separate
corps.
