Resolued, lnat in the death of ABRAHAM LIS.
C0LN The county sustained a grleyous loss. Pa
tent, spacious, unweayng, calm and courageous
under misfortune, never uuduly elated by success,
he carried the nation through the trying scenes
of the rebellion IN such a manner as to gain the
profound respect OF all, both friend and Toe, and
the love Of every true patriotic heart. Stricken
down by the foul cowardly blow OF the assassin
in the hour Of bis counlrys triumph, great
nation has enshrned him in its heart of hearts,
and will preserve throughout all coming time the
remembrance Of him as OF one who deserved
well Of The Republic
Resolved, That in the triumph Of the coustitu,
tiona authority OF the nation over intestine toes
and their foreign allies, without single STATE
blotted from its map OF a star from It's Of
ploryi in the inyinclbty Of Republican govern

of people from bondage and "a the advance OF
the nation to the first rank among the military
and naval powers OF the earh-hus constituting
a triple crown Of liberty strength, and security,
encrced at last in the halo OF an honorable
peaoe,-we accept the reward for all our sacrifice,
Of kin aud treasure and toll in the service OF our

! ReOired, That for this glorious termination OF
the great struggle, our most hearty thanks are due
to the Administration Of Abraham Lincoln, TO the |

army and navy, and, above them all, to the Lord |
Of Hosts who hath given to them tie victory,
ReSolu,d That to the brave soldiers OF Yer
mont, under God are specially due the praise aud
thanks Of a grateful people. We thank them for
all they have so CALAMITY done, Tor the proud po
stion in which they have placed the name Of their
State, and particularly that, thoroughly appreciate
ing the Tremendous issues involved, they, taking
their lives IN Their HAMS, went into the contest
determined that, SO far as in them lay, the PEE
emnence OF the constitution aud Jaws should be |
maintained How noby they have sustained these /
high resolves let the record ct many battles sps *,
let the thlnned ranks, the bronz d faces, the /
wasted and mutiated terms give silent but elo- |
Qlent testimony Ever where the rebel fag
Haunted the boldest, ever where the fight ragged
The dercest, have they been found leers with The
bravest and best who,e trials and tolls have been
crowned with glorious victory.
Resolved, That, coufding in the patriotism, in.
tegrly and firm fidelity Of ANDREW JOHNSON to
the high trusts commit to his hands, we tender
TO him generous sympathy in the delicate tasi.
