* IA. That weg will earnestly support
every constitutional measure tending to
preserve the Union of the States. No
men have a greater interest in its preser-
vation than we have-none desire it more !;
there are none who will make greater sac
rifces or endure more than we will to ac-
complish that end. We are, as wegever
fhave been, the devoted friends of the con-
stitutlon and the Union, and we have no
sympathy with the enemies of either.
g, Is, That the arrest, Imprisonment, pre-
tended trial and actual Punishment of
Clement L. Vallandigham, citizen of the
State of Ohio, not belonging to the land
or naval forces of the United States, nor
to the militia in actual service, by alleged
military authority, for no other pretended
crime than that of uttering words of legiti-
mate criticism upon the conduct of the
men in power, and of appealing to, the bal
lot-box for change of policy said ar
rest taking place where the courts OF law
are open and unobstructed, and for no act
done within the sphere of active military
operations in carrying on the war 1--WE
regard as palpable violation of the pro-
visions of the constitution of the United
States. And we furthermore denounce
said arrest, trial and banishmentlasa di-
rect insult offered to the people of Ohio,
by whose organic law tits declared that
''no,p person shall be transported out Of the
State for any offence committed within

49, That Clement L. Vallandigham
was, at the time of his arrest, prominent
candidate for nomination by the Demo-
cratic party of Ohio for the office of Gov

party was fully competent to decide wheth-

and that the attempt to deprive them OF

war does not exist, to supersede the civil
authorities and suppress the freedom OF
