and developed in the existing Constitution in
to "a more perfect Union, has been, under
| Providence, the origin, the continuing caase,

our domestic safety and high standing among
the nations Of the earth.

the part Of all the States, of all their constltu-
tional obligations to each other and TO the

country and, now that the Federal authority
in its final struggle with the rebellion, has
been gloriously yindicated, the arms of the
Union crowned with victory, the Constitution
maintained and the country redeemed and
saved, we claim the distinction for our State
of having met the demands of the government
with patriotic submission and loyal promp-
titude nowhere surpassed, and of having thus
rendered a service to the cause of Constltu
tional law and order difficult to over esti-
mate.
RcsoIred, That we have undiminished con
fdenee in the ability and integrity of Govern.
or Curtin, that the thanks of the people are
eminently due to him for his untiring care foi
the great interests of the State, whilst his pa
triotie and pains-taking devotion to the brave
sons of the Commonwealth, on the field anC
in the hospkal, has endeared him to the sol
der aad the soldiers friends. His promp
and faithful support Of the national govern
ment from the beginning to the end of the re-
bellion, proves that he knew his duty anC
knowing dared to perform it.
