submitted the following, which we've unan-
mously adopted:
RESOLVED, That while three years of bloody
experience have taught us that this atrocious re.
belion was far greater than any man could con-
ceive of when it broke out, they have taught US,
and the nations Of the earth also, the transcen-
dant power of free government like our own,
and have brought to light the exhaustless energy
and resources OF people whose birthright Is lib
erty and justice for all and with whom honest 10
bor is held III honor.
RESOLVED, That with full appreciation Of the
cost, the sacrifice, and the unutterabe horrors of
this war, we yet accept it as one of the terrible
necessities which the providence of God through
the mad ambition OF shareholders and their ad-
vocates had imposed upon the nation for Its dis

tinction of human slavery and seIfdom-a neces-
sity to be met herocally, to be borne patiently |;

liberty shall be proclaimed - throughout the
land, to all the Inhabitants thereof" and the
whole nation be restored again to union, and
shall attain to better liberty under free con-
sttution and the protecting folds Of the one free
flag.
