On motion, said report was adopted man-
imollsly.
The Committee on Resolutions reported
the following, whichwas enthusiastically and
unanimously adopted
WHEREAS Il is the ancient privilcge--a
privilege as old as the Government itself -
secured to every American citizen by the
most sacred provisions of both the Federal
OF public men and public measures and re-
gardng this right as we do, as essential to
the maintenance of free institutions in the
hands Of any set of men, nor will we forego
the last vcstige Of liberty among us, and un-
on the chains which .despotism has been,
r,
WHEREAS, 1t is our full determination to
Country, and yield cheerful obedience to
all che lawful mcans Of the constituted au-
thorities for the restoration OF the Union as
it was, and the Constitution as it is, yet III
the language Of Mr.. Fallandigh7m, we say
that mere unity is not Union. and that
we will never consent to lose our liberties
that We may be deluded and Knocked with
the splendid unity of despotism Union
and Liberty are one and insepcrable, and
like freedom of the press is the birthrght
Of every American citizen and he who geek S
either by fraud or force, to deprive us of
this birthright, although he sits in the Exc
cutive mansion Of the Republic, is dcspot
and a tyram, and deserves the fate Of aall
such; and,
WHEREAS, The present Federal Admin
istration claims the right to, and has actually
arrested, imprisoned in forts and dungeons,
ana exilcd American citizens from their
homes, their families, and their country,
without warrant and without law there
fore
Resolrftl That all such arrests, impriSon-
mcnts and baniShments are so many acts Of
usurpation and tyranny that should arouse
the people to sense of the danger that sur
round US, and we look upon these arrests as
evidence Of the ulterior purposes and designs
OF those in power to strike down the last YES
tige of liberty, and to assume to themselves
permanent and imperial powers in our gov
ernment erected by the wisdom of our faith
ers to secure freedom Of thought and opin-
ion to every American citizen
Resolred, That the arrest of our fellow
citizen, Clement j. Vallandigham without
warrant and without law, by military au-
thority was an act Of unmitigated despot
ism, and merits the lasting cxecrations of
every friend Of liberty and law, both at
home and abroad, in times Of peace and in
times of war, and we congratulate Mr..
Vallandigham upon his return to his family,
his friends and country from that banish-
ment to which tyranny had consigned him.
Resoired, That in the present great crisis
of our political affairs, it is for the people
to decide whether our political system shall
succeed or fail. If they would maintain
our institutions in their vigor and maturity,
they will act wisely by enforcing every
guard and restraint which the Constitution
has provided for the limitation of Exc
cutive authority for without these guards
and these restraints there can be neither
law nor liberty; wherefore it is that patri-
OTIS. everywhere, call for the people to come
to the rescue.
Resolre{, That as American citizens we
love the Union of the States, and the Con
stitution that creates that Union, and we
desire most ardently it's restoration, but We
believe that war can never accomplish this
desirable result We have seen the admin
istration try, for more than three long and
bloody years. the policy of vigorous
prosecution OF war. Is it not time for the
people to try the experiment of ''vigor-
Gus prosecution Of peace? War has
slaughtered hundreds of thousands of our
fellow citizens, and squandered millions on
millions OF money taken from industry and
the savings Of labor. II has impoverished
the laborer, while it has enriched the heart
less contractor, and to-day is widening and
deepening the chasm which divides the
Northern and Southern States. The fiery
ordeal of battle has been tried for more than
three years, and the Union is not restored.
Do the people want the fruitIess strife to
continue longer, or are they willing to try
the experiment of peace--to substitute the
olive branch for the sword, and stop the
slaughter Of our fellow countrymen.
Resolved, That We believe it is the right
and the duty of the American people to de-
mand of Abraham Lincoln that hostilities
cease. and that an armisticc be proclaimed.
and Convention of all tho States be called.
