Resoiccd-That as the only way in
which peace can be restored to our dis
tracted country, is by effectually put
ting down the rebellion, it is the duty
of the Government to prosecute the
war with the utmost vigor, until the
whole country shall be restored to its
allegiance; that it is also the duty Of
every citizen to support the Govern
ment, and give his utmost aid in car
rying on the war, and those who re-
fuse to do this, must be regarded as
enemies to the best interests of the
country.
ResolUed-That in view of the ster-
ling integrity, frmness, and ability
manifested by Abraham Lincoln, in his
administration of the Government
through all the immense difficulties
and responsibilities which the war has
throwa upon him, and especially in
view of the fact that his defeat in the
coming election is most ardently de-
sired by every enemy of the Govern
ment, and by every friend of the rebels
at home and abroad and that such de-
feat would be hailed by them with the
utmost exultation and Joy, and be re-
garded by them as a harbinger of final
success, we welcome the denomination
of Abraham Lincoln; we believe that
his reelection is necessary for the
maintenance of the Government, and
the future prosperity of our country,
and that every citizen ought to give
him his cordial support.
Resolued-That we as cordially wei
come the nomination of Andrew John
son to the Vice Presidency, and admire
the firm and noble stand he has taken,
from first to last, in opposition to Sc
cession and rebellion.
Resolved That we approve and en-
dorse the resolutions adopted by the
National Convention at Baltimore, and
also endorse the action of the last State
Convention at Burlington and last
District Convention at Hydepark.
