In pursuance of a long talked of proprf-
ETY. by the soldiers of the three Belmont
companies in the 10Th Ohio Regiment, we,
the undersigned, agreed to draw up the
following preamble and resolutions express
sive of of our sentiments on the important
questions of the day. and submit them to
our companions for their approval;
WHEREAS, Our common country is still
being drenehed in blood and suffering in
consequence of an attempt to discover the
Union, destroy our Government and desc
crate the American flag, by reasonable
compact Of men organized in the so called
Southern Confederacy.
AND WHEREAS, This war was begun by
revolving and treacherous men, yet we
believe this war is being protracted upon
US by the aid and comfort given to the
South by northern sympathizers. There
fore,
ResolUed, Let. That while we deprecate
the destruction of life and shedding of so
much blood, yet do we remain as deter
mined as to endure the life of the soldier
and encounter the vicissitudes of war, so
as to preserve intact our country, maintain
the supremacy of the Government over all
its enemies, and have the stars and stripes
wave trlumphantly throughout the land.
I'd. That while no condemnation ofthose
iu arms against us is too severe, we feel it
due to ourselves aud all the soldiers of the
D. s. A, that no denunciation of the rebel
sympathizers in our rear ID severe enough.
Bird. That there is in the State of Ohio a
political faction under the guise of Dem
Ocracy, led by O. L. Vallandigham which is
no less than a body of cowardly traitors to
their country, seeking every pretext by
which to pRralyze the arm of the Govern
ment while striving by every legitimate
means to suppress this most wicked and
uncalled for rebellion.
4th. That it is with regret that we learn
there was "FestiyaW at St. Clairsyille in
the National hotel for the purpose of re-
joicing over the adjournment of the last
Congress, and that ut that Festival" the
guests generally INDUCED in giving toqsts
which We consider were not only treason
able, but disgraceful beyond measure, and
insulting to the intelligence of every loyal
and law-abiding citizen of the country.
9th. That we are watching with mingled
and digust the Vaccinations of certain
men of old Belmont county, and would
kindly warn them of the terrible retribu-
ton they will one day have to make if they
persist in keeping company with the not
Honorable Sherrard Clemens of Wheeling,
and reading that delectRble sheet, "the st.
.SAhALoNAIAS SO<GLtS uItu StttSCtt.
9Th. That we bail with pride the recent
uprising of the loyal people of the North
that we thank them for their sympathy and
support, and take pleasure in assuring
them that we are not weary in we'll doing,
and relying on the business of our cause
will go on to an honorable and permanent
peace.
7th. That we heartily endorse the ad-
ministration and recognize in the emanci-
patton proclamation aud the recent acts of
Congress, the sure means to a speedy and
permanent peace.
9th. That the resolutions be forwarded
to the Belmont Chronicle and Wheeling In
tell.gencer for publication.
