WHEREAS, To the present National Admins

pcratye duty of administering and preserving,
during the prescribed constitutional term, the
imperied Government of our choice, and
WHEREAS, The war of self-preservaton thus
forced upon the Government was accepted with
only too much forbearance by peace-oving aud
patriotic endeavorS of the Executive, therefore
be it
Resolued, That we unequvocally favor the
maintenance of the Federal Constitution in all
its integrity, the re-affirmatiOn of the Monroe
doctrine, the support of the Emancipation Proc
lamation and the speedy construction of the
Pacific Railroad, the election of nominees of the
Union Convention held in Baltimore in June,
1864 for President and Vice President of the
United States, and the nominees CT the Union
party in California.
heSOtoed, lndt aoJurlhp LOT Tue present all
partisan interests and former political ties we
offer ourselves in defense of the Union and Con-
stitutions ready to rally as one man around the
National Government, and sustain it in every
vigorous effort to crush rebellion from the whole
land, and for this we pledge, in the spirit of our
fathers, our lives, our fortunes and our sacred
donors. a.. ...
Resolved, That to oppose the war measures of
the Administration is to aid and abet the rebel
lion and that neither out-lawed rebels or their
Northern emssaries rightfully invoke the
protection of Government to which they refuse
the correlative duty of unqualified allegiance.
Resolued, That the legitimate results of this
unavoidable and sanguinary contest be
achieved only by forward, resistless, overwhelm-
ing war; that our outraged country, strong
in the physical and moral support of every true
and loyal man, cannot afford TO pay less in blood
and treasure than the price of future security
against the recurrence of a so wanton rebellion,
and that we solemnly protest against any truce,
armistice, parley or negotiation, other than such
are strictly incident to the prosecution of such
war, for such purpose a. aforesaid and that we
spurn any peace and any peace -monger that
would surrender single right of humanity or
single star on humanity flag.
