such decisions can be obtained"
We should be pleased to have seen all
the resolutions, but these only are given

Davis himself had drawn up set of res
lutions to be passed by his northern
friends, he would hardly have ventured
to make them as strong as the above res
o!utions arc.
Aboltonlsts and secessionists !"
brought this war upon US. As usual the
"abolitionists" are considered the great
est sinners, although they never rebelled
nor threatened it. DO they suppose
their followers are so ignorant as not to
see their reasonable sympathies through
such fimsy disguise!
1t would seem from resolution No. l,
that it is doubtful if ''the present Ad-
ministra,ion" sever had any claim to the
sympathy or respect" Of these treason
mongers. There is no doubt but that,
from the day of its establishment they
have prayed, in their way, for its over
throw, and have refused to recognize it
as the established government Of the
country, till the expiration Of its consti-
tutiona term. They hate the Admins
tration no more to day, than they did on
the 4th of March, 1861, and the reason
that they are not to, day side by side
with the armed rebels is that they are the
greater towards. Their prayers are with
the rebels, but fortunately, the prayer Of
the wicked is not of much avail
The second resolution should be read
and remembered. Only think of it. II.

The first part of the third resolution is
