q H'5e,ros, We recognize the contest in
which our Government is engaged as one
waecd against the enemies of llw, order
and justice, and which demands the sup
port Of al true men for its prosecution to
a vigorous conclusion, because upon it
! depend our national existence and the
perpetuity Of republican, institutions
therefore, a eaa4
.'I'eao3rcf7, That we freely yield to the
Administration our cordiaI aud vigorous
support in the means It may adopt to crush
cut this wicked rebellion
H.
ecutive and Administration have in their
! charge our national perpetuity and the
maintenance Of cur Constitution, we can
only see ina withdrawal of support from
them q virtual abandonment cf our coun-
/ try to those whose. aim is TO destroy it.
"L>,oloe9, That we most heartily con
cur IL the wisdom of the formation Of
| Uni IN LcagEcs free of party difference,
! and composed only of those who are un-
alterabiy FOR the Union and the rrosecu-
ton of the war until treason IS dead.
! "HeSc}rcol, That We have no sympathy
| whatever With those who, because of their
asserted inability TO approve Of all meas
ugos adopted for the suppression of the
rebellion. have partially or wholly with
drawn their support from the national
authorities, and We must view their course
as suicidal, or, if not suicidal, then trai-
| .orous. @
"Resoleed, That any person, press or
association, using our names rs soldiers
fer any other purpose than the support OF
| the Administration and the war. does so
without our sanction, and is guilty OF a
libel upon our name.
