ResolVsd, That we congratulate the loyal citi-
gems Of the State, and OF the whole country, on
the progress of the Government during the past
year, toward the re-establishment OF its authori-
" throughout the nation; and that We believe
the time is near at hand when the venel ated flag

the way Of al advancing civilization and that
we hold to the faith Of our Fathers, who affixed
upon the banner of our State the memorable
words, that ''Iie who tFansplanted will sustain"
Res0iptd, That we regard all Propositions for
treaties OF peace with the rebels as reasonable
attempts 10 recognize their authority as a gov
ernmenl, and that there can be no treaties with
them-nothing but unconditional submission on
one side or the other.
ResolVed That the President of the United
States, Abraham Lincoln, in the midst Of trials
unsurpassed, by his unquestioned honesty and
patriotism-by his answering devotion 10 the
best interests Of his imperiled oOuntry-by his
steady and lewfnl progress toward the suppress
sion Of the rebellion and the annihilatiou Of the
cause of it-by his impariiality in the dstribu-
tion OF the military power IN his hands-anI by
the entire devotion Of every faculty of his heart
aud head TO the Welfare Of bis country-has won
our entire confidence, and the grateful plaudits
which he receives from the wise and good of
other lands who sympathze with us in our ma
tional struggle We do, therefore, regard his re
election 10 the place he now holds, and the COM
pleuon Of his wise political aud war policy, as
vitality important to the best interests Of the
country and We hereby request our delegates
to give him their united support in the coming
National Convention.

State are due to the gallant soldiers and sailors
OF ali the loyal States, and that we are under the
deepest obligations to the brave men Of our own
State who have signali1ed their valor and devo-
tion to the country in so many bloody conflicts
aud We tender to the bereayed families whose
heroes have fallen our heartfelt sympathies for
their great Affections, reminding them of tue
consultations to be derived from the reflection
that their precious dead have been given 10 the
cause Of country that we trust will never for.
get nor neglect any of the sufferers in this great
struggle for the lie Of the Nation.
