unanimously adopted:
Resolved l. That in the fr-etection ot
our patriotic Governor Andrew G Curtin,
and in all the general elections Of 1868
and 1864, the people of the loyal States
have indicated Their firm determination to
"stop the war" by ,ubduing the base,
barbarous cOnspiratOrs against the peace,
the rights, and the best interests Of the
human race.
9. That in Abraham Lincoln We behold
'sthe poblest work OF God-an honest
man" Believing him to have wisely done
the best that could be done III preserving
our country from the desolatou threatened
by the Shareholders Rebellion, We hold
il to be the highest policy to cou,inue him
st the helm of our good Ship Of State
until she outrides the storm.
3. That Andrew JohpsoD, of Tennessee,
has been "faithful found among the faith.
less" iD the seeding portions of the Union,
He is man of the people-oue who has
suffered greatly for his devotion to the
good cause-One TO whom we can trust The
Executive CHAIR in case of vacancy there

4. That the warmest thanks of a numer-
Gus, free people, are due the hundreds of
officers and tens of thousands of private
soldiers and sailors who have so gallantly
stood BY our fathers flag of Liberty aud
Union, and borne it so far towards triumph
in the insurrectionary districts. The dead
are sincerely mourned, aud honored the
sick and wounded should be tenderly
cared for, and their families should not be
forgotten.
S. That we call upon our President, our
Governor, aud all others in places of power,
carefully to guard against the evils and
extravaganza so apt to creep into the ad-
minis'ratiou Of public affairs in times of
war. BY requiring strict attention aud
personal accountability in every case,
much benefit may be derived.
3. That while in special cases govern

guaroing them against their enemies and
evils OF auy nature, We do no, hold them
