The meeting was called to order at G
p. NJ, and the Committee on Resolutions
being ready TO report, the following pre-
amble and resolutions were read aloud
and unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, We, the enlisted soldiers Of
the 51st regimept o. v. l., having been
called together by the conduct Of our
fellow citizens AZ home and being men
representing the prominent parties of all
political creeds in our nation; and, there
fore, we do not claim to represent any one
political Earty or organization, but as
citizens of the great State Of Ohio, and
as 10y al members of cur common gov
ernment, having a deep interest in the
political as well as military affairs of our
State and nation, we claim the right TO
express our sentiments on all the polt-
ical issues of the day sought TO be adopt
ed by our State and country. In view
of this fact, and having learned through
the press that a meeting Of the BUtternltts
of Ohio had been convened at COlumbus
and that they had there nominated G. l..
| Vallandigham for Governor of Ohio, who
had beed tried for, and convicted of ut
tering reasonable sentiments against
the Government of the United States,
and had been sent South of onr lines in
pursuance thereof; therefore, be it
Reso1Ued, That the nomination of Cle-
ment l.. Vallandigham for Governor of
Ohio, with his known views of disloyclty,
which were made manifest in his prop
osition made 10 Congress to divide this
Government into three or four Republics,
together with his avowed sympathy for
tho "rebels," in trying TO divide the
"union Of the States, and his dispose
tion TO find fault with every measure
adopted by the present Administration
to quell the rebellion, is a gross insnltto
the understanding Of every loyal hearted
soldier and citizen of Ohio. 81
ResolUea, That we denounce Clement
L. Vallandigham and all his followers,
| including all and every man who shall
run on the same ticket with him, or who
shall in any way influence his or their
election, as traitors to their God, their
country. AID themselves, aud weearnestiy
pray and beg that the laws against trea-
son be rigidly enforced, and that they
suffer the extreme penalty of the law.
That we earnestly believe that by pur-
suing their policy, the war 10 prolonged
over our heads, and viii continue so to
be, until our Government uses all its
power 10 pat stop to the disasters that
will resslt from such course. gn 81.
ResOfvsd, That we endorse the present
policy of the Administration, and we
will continue in the performances of our
duties until the rebels humble them-
selves befc-s us and plead for mercy:
That we are opposed to any and al prop
ositions for compromise, aud will accept
no adjustment other than the return of
the masses to their allegiance, and the
surrender of all leaders of the rebellion.
Resolved, That while we are in iayoro
free speech, tree press, and the rights OF
untraneled discussion 10 the full extent
! of our Constitutional Yigl,ts, of all measures
appertainiDg 20 the Interest Of our Cow
ernrhent, we are, nevertheless, inileXiblY
opposed 10 treason, either in waging war
against the Government, or in giving ara
and comfort 10 our enemies, by public
demonstrOii6ns Of sympathy, under the
cloak of Constitutional nights. -- it1
Resolved, That weTeturn our thanks to
the Governor and our friends in the Leg
islature of Ohio, for the int rest they
have taken in securing to the soldiers in
the field a vote At tue coming election,
thereby securing 70 the benefit Of the
Government q tremendous shower of L'a-
ion votes such as will be as effective as
yollies Of "Minnies," which we are will
ing TO aim and fire into the ranks of cur
enem go. Ia tI.fa Art |Lan
Resoived, Thata copy of these Resoln-
tions be sent 70 the following papers for
