Resolutions of the Ohio Conference OF
the NJ. e. Church, Adopted Saturday,
Sept. I2, 1868.
The Committee on the State of the
Country reported;
REPORT ON THE STATE OF TIE COUNTRY.
Since our last annual meeting, the
times have been ominous Of war; but
the recent victories Of our arms, now.
more strongly indicate the discontinue
of the enemies Of the country. Under
the Dirine direction it is cSnsoling, es-
pecially, in this season of our struggle
for nationality and freedom, that the
membership of our churches, with few
exceptions, are jealous friends of the
Federal Government, and are united
to suppress the present unholy rebell-
ion, which has been concocted under
various evil agencies, and matured by
slaveholding aristocracics, both in
Church and State.
This sad rebellion has been imme-
diately superinduced by the corrupt
political leaders of the Southern States
of this Government. As members Of
this Conference we can have no sym
pathy with secessionists whether found
North, or South, or with the sympa-
thizers ofsuch. Nevertheless, we dis
claim the use of the pulpit, in favor Of
any political party; but we reserve,
and maintain strenuously, our right ais
citizens Of the United States, to be as
patriotic as any class ofmen in the coun-
try, Therefore
Resolved. That as members of the
Ohio conference, we deeply deplore the
continuance of the unprovoked and
causeless rebellion existing in these
United States, and earnestly pray for
its speedyand entire suppression.
RESOLVED. That we recognize most
devoutly the supremacy and universal
ity of the government of Almighty
God among the children of men, and
among the nations of the earth; and
that he giveth the dominion to whom
soever he will. That as a nation, we
have been guilty before God of many
fragrant sins, thereby provoking most
justly His righteous displeasure
against us, that we humble ourselves
under the chastisement Heis now in
flicting upon us by permitting wicked
men to rise up seeking to destroy our
national life and earnestly plead with
Him, through Christ our Lord, to par
don our sins and remove his judge
ment from us. ..,. ..,. ..t.,. ...,...
RESOLVED, That we thank God for
the measure Of victory He has given to
the national arms in suppressing the

upon the familiar scenes
around him. They were somewhat
changed, it was true, as were also the
faces Of his former wcil-know friends.
But these changes were not more mark
ed than the change in political affairs.
The fact that he now appeared before
the people to advocate the election Of
John Brough, life long opponent in
politics, for Governor, was strange
enough. When he (Sherman,) left
Lancaster, Mr.. Brough was editor Of
the Ohio Eagle, an active, able, aud ev-
cry body believed an honest Democrat;
while he was Wing boy, singing songs
for "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" If
any body had told him that he would
ever come back to Lancaster to advo-
cate the election Of Mr.. Brough, be
would have pronounced him false
prophet. He then spoke of the rise Of
the Republican party, its success in OBJ
tanning the Legitimate control Of the
Government, and then took up the re-
bellion, the war, and the disgraceful
attempt Of the Vallandigham party to
betray the nation into the hands Of
rebels.
At the second stand, Hon. Alfred
McVeigh, an old Fairfield county Dem.
ocrat, presided and introduced General
s. +. Cary in a few appropriate re-
marks. The General deeply sympa.
thized with bis large audience, in moi
being able to get within hearing dis.
tance Of their next Governor, but he
would endeay or to entertain them fol
awhile, and he did it most etfectually
He didn't propose to discuss old party
politics; he left their rotten carcasses tC
the birds and beasts of prey. A man
who could not rise above party in this
hour of the country's danger, was un
worthy the heritage Of an American
freemen. The Republican, who woulC
try to make political capital out of thc
successes Of the Administration il
prosecuting the war, or the Democrat
who would try to make political capi
tai out Of the mistakes OF the Admins
tration. either would sell his grand
mothers bones to the button factory
for a consideration. And thus th'
speaker berated the corrupting infu
ence of blind slavery to party, anC
called upon the people to throw off it
shackles until the country was saved.
He characterized the rebellion as hos
tility to popular government, engender
ed by African slavery, and proceeds
with lucid and striking analysis @
Northern and Southern society, show
ing how the one was progressive am
how the other held back. The confic
was irrepressible, and he thanked Go
that the settlement ofthe question dc
volvcd upon the generation in whic
he lived.
But no reporter can do any thin
like justice to Gen. Cary, unless he goe
into a detailed report, for which | hav
not time at present, He spoke agai
in the evening, to a large audience, as
sembled at the city building. His re
marks were adapted to the time an
place, and drew forth hearty and o.
repeated applause.
1t is conceded on all hands, even b
honest Valandighammers, that tn
meeting today was the largest eve
assembled in Fairfield County, and
was remarkably orderly and a.tentiv
to the speaking. The result cannc
but be salutary on the opposition, q
we'll as encouraging to the Unio
men. LEX.

The Letter OF President Lincoln to the
Springfield, ILL. Union Convention.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, !
August 26, 1868.
Hon. James c. Conklm:
a My DEAR SIR-Your letter, inviting
me to attend mass meeting of uncon-
ditional Union mon, to be held at the
Capital of Illinois, on the 3d day Of
September, has been received. 1t would
be very agreeable to me thus to meet
j my old friends at my own home, but |
cannot, just now, be absent from this
city so long as u visit there would re-
quire. .
The meeting Is to be ofall those who
maintain unconditional devotion to the
Union, and | am sure that my old po-
litical friends will thank me for tender
ing, as / do, the nations gratitude to
those other noble men whom no parti-
san malice Or partisan hope can make
false to the nations life. There are
those who are dissatisfied with me-
To such l would say, "you desire peace,
and you blame me that we do not have
it." But how can we attain it?
There are but three conceivable
ways. First, to suppress the rebellion
d by force of arms. This / am trying to
do. Are you for it? Ifyou are, so far
we are agreed. Ifyou are not for it, a
second way is to give up the Union.-
"a I am against this. If you are, you
should say so plainly. Ifyou are not
for force, nor yet for dissolution, there
: only remains some imaginary compro.
mise l do not believe that any com.
promise, embracing the maintenance
Of the Union is now possible. All that
. I learn leads to a directly opposite be.
lief The strength of the rebellion is
its military, its army, Thisarmy dom
mates all the country and all the peo
pie within its range. Any offer O.
terms, made by man or men, within
a that range, in opposition to that army
dds simply nothing for the present, be-
/, cause such man or men have no power
whatever to enforce their side of com
promise, if one were made with them
To illustrate Suppose refugees from
the South and peace mon of the Nortl
- meet togetherin Convention, and frame
and proclaim compromise, embracing
d restoration of the Union, in what way
can that compromise be used to keel
Gen Lees. army out of Pennsylvania
Gen. Meade's army can keep Genera
a'Lee's army out of Pennsylvania, and
=" think can ultimately drive it out of ex
2 distances But no paper compromise, t.
which the controllers of General Leel
lharmy are not agreed, can at all etfect
that army. SO r.
In an effort to make such compro
10 mise, we would waste time, which the
enemy would improveto our disadvan
. tage, and that would be all, A com
promise, to be effective, must be made

army, or with the people, first liberated

sentiment toward the Bible standard of |
and the standard of hu-
man freedom recognized in the Dec
laration Of the Independence Of these
United States
Resolved, That We hold the duty of
allegiance to civil government to bo
of Divine authority, and imperatively
binding upon every man, and that in
the present trouble such allegiance de-
mands uncompromising and uncondi-
tional support Of the government and .
that whosoeycr opposes the means
used TO put down the rebellion at such
time as this, is recreant to civil ard
moral obligation, and an enemy to hu.
man liberty-a traitor TO his country,
totally unworthy the countenance Of
good men and unfit to be entrusted
with any duty In Church Or State.
Res0IUed, That We hereby endorse
the Administration in issuing the
Emancipation Proclamation, and en-
listing the African citizens Of the Uni
ted States into our army; and hold it to
be the duty Of the Executive to use
every means for crushing at once, and
forever, every traitorous combination
of men within its limits, and restrain
any individual who may, by counsel or
action, render aid or comfort to those
in. armed or unarmed rebellion.
Resolced. That we pledge ourselves
as a Conference to uncompromising and
unconditional devotion to the Admin.
istration and the Union; and that We
will use all lawful means which God
in His providence may give us to re
strain the foes Of the nation, to preserve
the national life, to uphold the majesty
of law, to maintain the security Of the
Constitution and Of the Government Of
these United States. in all their integ-
rity and over the whole national do
main.
ReSOlred. That we send Christian
greetings to our Army and Navy with
the assurance that they are remem.
bered in our prayers; that we mourn
the loss of those brave men who have
fallen in their country's defense, and
sympathize with all loyal persons who
have suffered in mind, body or estate
in the prosecution of the struggle and
extend our Christian coincidence to the
widows and orphans, and friends of
those who have fallen in battle, or by
disease, all soldiers who are, Or may be,
disabled by the war.
4 ResolUed, That we adore the Lord,
for at last, virtually answering for US
question long and anxiously asked
by the Methodist E. Church-"What
shall be done for the extripation of the
evil of slavery among us?' and that
he Has led the nation by way which
it knew not, to see, both the necessity
, and practicability of washing out from
our escutheon the foul blot which has
, long defaced it, dimming the lustrc of
its stars. And though this blot is be-
ing washed out by the precious blood
of the nation, we do not deem the sac
rifce too great for our deliverance from
this evil, kindred to that which our
