Resotued, That the people are indebted TO the
Democratic party for the greatness, the glory
ana the power OF tne Repuoiic' mat party,
wheh me storm OF night closed over me snip Of
stale, directed IT'S course WIN Saieiy. Al 0lhet

ReSotred, That II the wise teachings OF the
Democratic party haG prevailed, the twin eau
ses of the present rebellion, Abolitioaism and
$eceSsionam, would have been slrangled long
ago.
ReSotUed, That we are in favor OF giving the
Government a warm and cordial support in Its
efforts TO crush out treason and rebellion, and
that we will strengthen the arm of the Presi-
dent IN carrying out his conservative policy,
against the mad schemes Of Abolit0nism.
ResoIusd, That the Vaccinations ofthe North
ern Abolitionisls to force the President into the
position of making war, "for the abolition of
Slavery" rather than for sqbe preservation Of
the Union > and their traitorous aud unholy
efforts TO bring about the removal of General
Mcclellan from the chief command Of the ar
my, are iraught with great danger to the coun-
try, and should receive the condemnation of
every patriot.
