der that it N ght be ascertsined what was partisal

Mr.. Burton offered the followin- amendment
Whereas all political issues which heretofor
divided Us have been in a manner decided at Oh
ballot box, and there is but one vital issue befor
the people-namely-the issue Of green-backs
And whereas, this great issue has apparentl
enhanced our national prosperity, by ~elevatinI
the two most cherished commodities of the coun
tty-namely-gold and negroes
And whereas our individual prosperity an
national safety necessarily depend in a great de
gree, if not entirely, upon the green back issue
, therefore,
Resolved, that, In order to harmonize all con
! f;cting.elements upon this floor, we forget for Oh
present, all past political differences, with hear
and hand upon this heavy issue, aud cause il,
possible, to rebound to the honor and glory o
our common country.
2 Resolved. further. that to this end. it behooye
the dear people in this emergency, to look we
to their pockets. and to this end, while they plac
their hearts upon things above'-namely-
I" gold and negroes" they should not forget I
place their hands on the thing below-namely-
" Green backs"
Resolved, finally, that this Is the only polio
We can pursue. if we would compensate ~ourselvs
for the losses sustained, because of the man
battles fought and victories lost and won, in th,
I" irreprcssible Conflict" between truth an,
error" which though, il has covered our water
and darkend our lands with blood and mourn
