do
Resolve lst That the name and fame
of Abraham Lincoln, stand out from
the history of the epoch unrivalled and
alone; and while we deplore his un-
timely and cruel death, and venerste
his memory, it becomes us 10 initiate
his wisdom; fiFmness and moderation
in the treatment of vexed questions,
and especially to initiate his example,
in waiting for the solution of Difficult
ties to be furnished by the progress of
time and the logic of events.

war, with its fearful sacrifice of life and
treasure, forced upon us by the slave

Us, and to the world, that slavery and
its institutions are irreconcilably OPP

hearty cooperation of our loyal people,
citizens and soldiers, Ohio stands in |
the front rank in the roll of honor
among her sister States in the great
