Mr. F. DFLArElp SMITH proceeded to read the following
resolutions prepared by him at tho request OF the Com
mittec OF Arrangemcnts:--
Resolved, That tho political parties which divided tho
citizens OF the United states years gone by have and
OF right can have no legitimate existence when ques
tons to which they owed their vitality have faded from
the public mind Organizations the healthful growth of
state OF loyalty and peace, may well prove place
and even perncous In period or nsurrecton and rebel
lion. Opinions which have become stagnsn In the dead
past admit OF no application TO the living issues the
present. lho partisan divisions which visible when
this defensive war broke out have becn obteracd by
the wavo OF popular feeling which has swept over the
land receiving Its first but not Its last impulse upon tho
desecraton OF the American at the fall Of Srmter
Resolved, That both the whg and democratic parties
