political manhood, is independence, and
having repeatedly avowcd that az their
purpose. and that unless that was granted
they "would fight to the bitter end"
taking eXtermimati,n as the fearful
alternative, 10 talk of compromise on anv
terms short of their ceasing ho>til.ties and
returning tn their allegiance to tie Federal
Government, lctrays a sympathy with
tiaitors unworthy of any who hear the
name, or would claim the character of
trne Americans-sons of revolutionary
sires who waaed through seas of carnage
and blood, IN order to secure to us, their
posterity. the inestimable blessings We
have SO long enjoyed, which have elevated
us to Heaven in point of privilege. and
made our country the envy and admiration
of other lands. and the asylum of refugees
| from governments where the inherent
rights of man to liberty were ignored.
Resoired. That we regard the re-
nomination of Abraham Lincoln for the
Presidency, as a cause of great
congratulation to all who truly love their
country. and that the unparalleled skill he
has manifested in guiding the old ship of
state through storms and peli!s
unprecedented in the history of nations,
entities him to our fullest confidence that
il reelected he will. if kind Heaven vouch-
safe to spare bis valuable life. bring our
country out of her perils more pure and
strong. and elevate her nov fallen
escutcGeon to a position more glorious
than ever before. which will compel vile
conspirators and jealous rivals to regard
it will reverence and ave.
RESOLVED. That we regard with pride
and admiration the course pursued by
Schuyl Coliax while he has represented
this district in Congress, particularly in
reference to the reasonable lang mage
uttered by senator from Ohio. The
bold stand he has taken on the side of hi,
country and for the rights of humanity
entities him to the gratitude of all true
patriots. and ne has proved himself a
statesman. patriot and scholar, and we
rejoice at his denomination and pledge
ourselves to use all honorable means to
effect his reelection. and would regatd his
defeat as dire calamity.
ReSolrel, That all honor is due to our
brave soldiers who have MOLLY sacrificed
the comforts OF home. and placed their
lives IN jeopardy hy facing death in its
most terrible forms in order 10 save their
conntry's life; and that those who have
fallen on the gorv battle field. or haze
otherwise come to their death by their
devotion to their country, should have
their memory enshiined in the grateful
hearts of their survivors. and we tender
our coincidence to those who bv such
means have been bereit of friends, AMI
acknowledge their claims to the benef
cenre OF deeply indebted country.
Resotved, that those at the N~rth who
would seek by any means to interpose
impediments against the speedy prosecu-
ton of the present war and suhjugaton o.
the enemy, evince a sympathy with the
enemies of their country which plainly
shows that they are traitors at heart. and
that the 'fire in the rear" kept up by that
class of individuals has evidently
protracted the present sanguinary strug-
gle. and tina, those who thus give aid and
comfort to the enemy merit more odIum
than the deuded cohorts of jeff Davis, OF
he tories of the Revolution.
Resoired. That we have the fullest
confidence in the business of our cause.
and believe it is one which Providence
approves. and that a just Col. whose
attributes are truth and Justice, will
ultimately crown our efforts to save our
bleeding country and porpetuatc the best
government on which the sun of heaven
ever shone, with success.
