Resolued That we congratulate the peo-
pie of this State and of the nation, upon
the overthrow OF the rebellion and the re-
turn of peace to all sections of our common
country, and that we find in the lpreservat
tion of our Union, the re-establishment OF
the national authority and the extirpation
of slavery, ample recompense for the suf-
ferings'and sacrifices by which these results
have been achieved.
Res0lped, That the soldiers and sailors in
all ranks,and in all departments, by whose
valor. under Divine Providence, this great
result has been accomplished, and who have
by their heroism shed new and undying
lustre on the American name, deserve the
heartfelt thanks of grateful people, and
that we renew the demand made by the
Union State Convention at Baltimore, that
adequate provision be made by the national
authority for the support aud comfort of
such of their survivors as have received
honorable and disabling wounds In the SER
vice of their country. .a,. =.
Resolved, That while we deplore the
death, by assassination, Of Abraham Lin
coin, as closing career of transceDdent
usefulness and honor, and as great Ma
tional calamity, we recognize In Andrew
johnson, his successor, a statesman ofabil-
ity, experience, high-toned patriotism and
the most. unspllied integrity-one who
has rendered invaluable services to the
Union cause during the rebellion, and
whose single-hearted devotion to the per-
manent prosperity and glory of our com
mon country commands the respect and
confidence of the American peoples and
that we renew to him and his Administra-
tion assurances of the cordial and effective
support which were rendered by us in his
nomination and election. Fnl
ResOlued, That we approve, as eminently
wise and just, the sentiments of Kindness
and confidence which President johnson
has evinced towards those Of the communi-
ties and individuals lately in rebellion who
accept the perpetuation of the Union and
theperpetual prohibition OF slaveryas the
legitimate and irreversible results of the
war; that we approve the initial steps he
has taken towards relaxing the bonds of
military authority in Southerpl States, and
in restoring to their people full and COM
pletaJ control over tbeirf1Ol local aft
fairs Just as soon as may be found
compatible with the preservation of
order and the maintainance of peace,
the exclusion of slavery and the fulfillment
of the constitutional obligation of nation
al authority, to guarantee to every State
republican form of Governments and that
we confidently look forward. under his

try than haven hitherto prevailed, and
chat In all the measures he may adopt tendA
ing to the attainment of these just and be-
netcent ends, we pledge him our cordial
and hearty support. ..-fquy.r .rlory
ResoIued, That while, We regard the ma
tional sovereignty over all the subjects
committed to it by the Constitution OF the
United States as having been confirmed and
established by the recent war, we regard
the several States In the Union as having
| the Jurisdiction over all local and domestic
affairs expressly reserved to them by the
same constitutional authority, and that
whenever it shall be deemed compatible
with the public safety to restore to the
States lately in rebellion the renewed exer-
else of those rights, we trust it will be done
in the faith and on the basis that they will
be exercised in spirit of equal and i'm
partial Justice, and with view to the
elevation and preparation for the full rights
of citizenship of all their people inasmuch
as these are principles which constitute the
basis OF our Republican institutions.
Resolued, That the restoration of peace
will enable the Government to restore the
civil tribunals OF the country to their just
and natural supremacy, and that we have
full and entire confidence that this will be

Resolred, That the debt incurred by the
nation in defense of its own existence, is a
sacred and inviolable obligation resting up
on all the property and all the resources OF
all sections of the country for its faith; and
that while we demand Of the hands of Con-
gress such measures as shall Impose the
burden Of taxation equally and imparti-
ally upon all classes, we have full
reliance upon the people for the
maintainance of the national honor
and the ultimate extinction of the national
debt, and that we approve and indorse the
determination of the Government under
no circumstances to assume, directly or in
directly, any portion of the debts incurred
by the rebel authorities in the prosecution
of the war against the United States.
Resolued, That we expect at the hands o.
the Government as prompt and as large 6
reduction of the national expenditures a:
the public safety will permit, an abolition
of all sinecnres and wise and economical
administration of public affairs.
,Resolued, That we have entire confidence
In the direction, under President johnson
of our intercourse with foreign nations, ir
his prompt enforcement against them of al
. Just demands in securing redress for ma
