Resotred That in the death Of ABRAHAM LIN
colin the country sustained grieyous loss. Pa
tent, sagacious, unwearying, calm and courage
GUS under misfortune, never unduly elated by sue
cess, he carried the nation through the trying
scenes OF the rebellion in such manner as to
gain the profound respect Of all both friend and
foe, and the love Of every true, patriotic heart
Stricken down by the foul cowardly blow of the
assassin in the hour of his countrys triumph, a
great nation has enshrined him i'm its heart of
hearts, and will preserve throughout all coming
time the remembrance of him as of one who de
served well of the Republic"
Resotced, That in the triumph of the constitu-
tional authority of the nation over intestine foes
and their foreign allies, without a single state
blotted from its map star from its flag Of
glory; in the invincibity of Republican govern |
ment demonstrated by the severest tests in the
overthrow of the last remnant of barbarism and
tyranny IN the land by the release of four millions
OF people from bondage; and in the advance of the |
nation to the first rank among the military and 1
naval powers OF the earth--thus constituting a |
triple crown of liberty, strength, and security, en-
eirced at last in the halo of an honorable peace
we accept the reward for all our sacrifices of time
and treasure and toll in the service of our coun-
try. and tender perfect vindication of the Union
men OF Vermont for subordinating party to pat
riotism.
RESOLVED. That for this glorious termination of
he great struggle. most hearty thanks are due /
10 the Administration of Abraham Lincoln, to the |
officers and men who have nobly served in the ar |
my and navy, and, above them all, to the Lord Of |
Hosts who hath given to them the victory.
Resotued, That to the brave soldiers of Yer |
mont, under God, are specially due the praise and
hanks of grateful people We thank them for all |
hey have so CALAMITY done, for the proud position
N which they have placed the name of their State,
and particularly that, thoroughly approaching the
issues involved, they, taking their lives
IN their hands, went into the contest determined /
hat, so far as in them lay the prominence of the
constitution and laws should be maintained How
lobly they have sustained these high resolves let |
he record of many battles speak, let the thinned |
anks the bronzed faces, the wasted and mutilated /
orms give silent but eloquent testimony. Ever
where the rebel flag Haunted the boldest, ever
where the fight ragged the fercest, have they been
ound, peers with the bravest and best whose tri-
us and tolls have been crowned with glorious vic
DRY.
Resotred, That confding in the patriotism, in
egrity and firm fidelity of ANDREW JOHNSON to
he high trusts committed to his hands, we tender
o him generous sympathy in the delicate task
u lnstltuting measures for organizing civil gov
'rnment in the late rebellious states whereby
