~ NHEk aAA 9Hatsieidal VA, originating
in Z disregard Of the maxims and warnings
OF our fktbbrs, cis desolating the ;and and
threatening the, permanent disruption OF
our Federal Union; and whereas, the pres-.
9nf lAamt1isra alton by ,its fatal policy in
the conduct con Of. tho war, by itsinfringemsut
on State and individual rights, by a general
snspspiopuf she writ 3tqtsus corpus. aud
substituting military ior evil courts, and
above eli, by employing the array TO suppress
the. freedom of elections and forcing govern
nsnts Of minofitiee upon the people Of the
State, has not only protracted tho war in
definitely, bringing upon the country inter
minabla taxation snd financial ruin, but has
created general alarm for the integrity Of
the States and the liberty Of their citizens,
all threatened "a, be sVallowedg gup in To-
natical dsspotisn, tbs worst of I'll govern
ments; and, whereas, the couatry has no
guarantee fer the speedy and successful ter
minstien of che war under the imbecile and
changesble Administration, through any
other means than change of men 1t the
coming Presidential election therefore,
Resolved, That we earnestly invite sll
our fellew citizens, Of whatever shade of po-
liticai opinions, and under whatever polifi5
cal organizations, to unite with US in our
corcerted efforts to place at the head OF our
government, man in whose wisdom, integ-
rity and firmness the country may rely with
hope Tor speedy suppression of the rebell'
ion, the cesession Of bloodshed, and the
maintenance Of the Union which our faith
.ers beausathed to us-a Union of independ
ent States and free people created by the
constitution, and to be maintained only by
its observance.
Resolved, That the invasion of Mexico
by France is violation of the Monroe doc
trine, which would never have been tolera-
ted under q democratic adm ninistration.
Resolved, That the seeming prosperity in
the financial affairs OF the country ls de-
ceitful and unsound. and that the continu.
ing expansion of our paper currency aud the
extravaganza and corruption in the expen
ditures of the government will bear us,
unless wiser counsels soon prevail into the
gulf of national bankruptcy, and snarcy.
|Hn J GEN. Fremont.
The Michigan Journal, published in De-
troit, and the leading German paper of that
State, has hoisted the Fremont flag. Two
more German papers in Illinois Peoria
Deutsche Zeitung and the Alton Beo6achter-
have likewise hoisted the name of John o.
Fremont for the Presidency in 1864; and the
Wisconsia Democrat expresses its prerence
for Fremont, declaring, at the same time,
that it will not support Mr.. Lincoln on any
conditions.
MR.. LINCOLN.
Ninety-two of the one hundred and seven
Union members of the Ohio Legislature
have endorsed the presentment of Mr.. Lin
coin as the Union candidate for the next
from the Albany Atlas and Argus
Mr.. Lincoln seems to find friends no
where; the radicals are after him; 80 is
Fremont; 80 are the Democrats; so are the
.'Dutch;" so is everybody, save those hold
ing contracts or those expecting to get
them. By turns he has succeeded in dis
gnsting every party, every faction, every
class, save those interested directly in
shoddy.
THE VICE PRESIDENCY.
A Kentucky correspondent Of the Nash
vile Union, after enumerating the qualities
a Vice President should possess, writes:
Snch a man I believe can be found
found in Kentucky, and in the person of
Major General Rosseau, now commanding
the district of Middle Tennessee. His ad
ministrative abilities haye been established;
his military career is untarnished; and his
record is unimpeachable, and if nominated
for Vice President, he could carry Ken
lucky for the ticket and place the State in a
correct attitude.
