Resolution No. 9: .'fl 81 .'n' "i
Whereas The great Union party Of the United
States, now in possession Of the administration Of
the, Government is pledged by its past history,
principles and present position, to, the manten-
ance of liberty the freedom Of the press and Speech
the preservation of the authority Of the United
States over all its territory, well the constitu
tional rights of all the States. e''t"
In accordance with that history and as the re-
suit of those principles it gave to the aiministra-
ton Of the late lamented Abraham Lincoln. an
undivided and enthusiastic support by which, he
was enabled to guide the ship of state safely
around the storm OF mighty rebellion, to a peace
ful harbor, ~ ~
And whereas, The present executive of the
United States, elected to the Yice-Presidency by
the. great Union party of the nation and called by
the Providence of God to fill The chief executive
chair, has by patriotic devotion to his country,
entitled himself TO the confidence of every patriot
Especially would we mention that noble illustri-
ton of patriotic and unselfsh devotion to counlsy
above party, which he gave, when on the ~ day
| Of December, 1860, he rose in the Senate of the
| United States and boldly denounced treason, and,
in mastery manner, exposed the sophistries and
falsehoods Of secession; RSd then again, on the
~ day Of February, 1851 For this be was IN
animousy denounced by his former political asso-
ciates in bis own section, but still he stood Firm
among Southern Senator'S faithful among the faith
less; and, in spite of a whirlwind of detraction
and denunciation which ragged around him, he gave
TO Abraham Lincoln hearty and bold support. In
March, 1862, he accepted. office under him-the
office of Military Governor of bis State partially
redeemed from the black flag Of treason-which
office he held Tor three long and terrible years,
laborng all the time with patience and asSidaity,
TO restore law and order to the people of Tennessee
which had been taken from them by traitorous
usurpers. Belonging, as we do, to the great In
Jon party Of the nation, without regard to past
political differences, and endorsing, as we have
done, and now do, the administration of Andrew
Johnson, as late Military GoAfnor of Tennessee;
