Cloud Chief, and from other sources, he had
ascertained that Jim Lane controlled the action
Of President Lincoln in all matters in relation
to Kansas. That Lane was corrupt-and if re-
ports were true about Lincoln and Lane, he
could not vote for Lincoln. That the President
was fast falling into disrepute, and that it was
necessary that some other man should take his
place or the Government would pass into the
hands of jeff Davis. To save the country, Mr..
Lincoln must be defeated. That he would SOON
er vote for Mcclellan than for Lincoln.
After more such remarks from several
speakers, Sam Wood introduced the follow
ing resolutions, Uhich were adopted:
Whereas, Abraham Lincoln, President of the
United States, is following the conduct of King
George in his treatment of the colonies, has
practlced upon us repeated injuries and usurp-
alton, tending to establishment Of o complete
tyranny over the States, to wit
He has refused his assent to laws the most
wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has affected to render the military inde-
pendent of, and superior to the civil power.
He has appointed officers unknown to the
Constitution or laws, and usurped the rights Of
our Governors. q"
He has disregarded our repeated supplication
for correction of these evils.
He has appointed in our midst, to high posi-
tions in office against the remonstrance of leg
islatures, men obnoxious to our people and,
Whereas, The people view with alarm these
injuries and usurpations, and the reckless e1-
travagance which pervades the Federal Govern
ment; and -- .r.....
Whereas, The people have right to demand
of the President an immediate and thorough re-
form of these abuses: and a.' : 80.
= Whereas, The indications Of the times are
that neither Mr. Liaeo In nor Fremont can receive
the undivided support of the loyal voters OF the

and Fremont to withdraw from the canvass that
a man may be nominated who can command the
undivided loyal vote of the country.
