nobly for the perpetual happiness of their

efforts to discharge those duties at all times and
in every emergency.
ny. we, as democrats, recognize as sacred duty,
binding upon all of whatever creed or party, the
necessity of banishing all feelings Of passion OF
resentment which have been incident 70 past 20
litical conficts-to throw a thick veil of oblivion
over all of a partisan nature, thatlis between the
heroic past and the untried futurc, determining
now to see and know only the pure patriotism OF
the Revolutionary Fathers, aud our corresponding
duties IN view OF eur country's overshadowing
danger. In this spirit. recognizing Abraham Lin
coin as the constitutionaliy authorized Executive
OF the nation, we win cordially and earnestly
commend and support all his constitutional and
honest efforts to crush rebellion and vindicate the
supremacy of the Constitution and the laws.
3. That we condemn, as dangerous to the integ
rty Of the Government, and as tending to distract
and enfeeble the energies of the nation in the
face of a formidable foe, the reckless aud re
bellious practice Of denonncng the conservative
and deliberate action of the Government when
ever it is manifestly impelled by desire to re
