IL. WHERHAs, We. have learned with. pro-
found regret of the death of our much be.
loved President, Abraham Lincoln, who at
ter having piloted our country through fonr
years, ,nflBuhsriug and trial, and when about
to Eeap his reward, by seeing his country
agaIn blessed With q permanent and LASTING
peace. already did he see the promised. land
from PiSgR's top; in this hour was stricken
down by the hand of q cowardly and das ;,
tardly assassin. :...5ssS
ResoEOed therefore. That we recognize in
this fendish act which has taken from us
our great and good Chief Magistrate, that
same spirit, that has for thepast four years
aetuated traitors, who have been waginRa
cruel and - relentless war against the
government they were sworn to support.
and who by their EctB Of cruelty, in the
starvation OF Union prisoners of war and
tnelrdeV1hsh plots to- burn our peaceful
cities; have shown themselves destitute of
the feelings Of common humanity.
-HeSoEUed, That we deeply depIore the
loss of this great and good man, who byy
his purity and singleness of purpose has !
secured a. place in the hearts Of. Ibis couu-
trymen equal to that held by the Father Of
his country; that. to his bereaved family
we tender our sincere sympathy.
ResotUsd, That. we deeply sympathize
with Secretary Seward and sons in their,
suffering, which was caused by the same,
spirit thatinstigated the murder Of Presis
dent Lincoln, and pray that their lives
may be spared, and-that the county in itsa
present crisis may not be deprived of the
benefit of the council of the wise and able
Secretary. d
SResOIVed, That we have entire confidence
in the wisdom, Integrity, enlightened. states.
msnship and unyielding opposition to the
rebellion in the Hon. Andrew johnson d
the successor to the lamented Lincoln, to
the high honors and great responsibilities.
OF Chief Magistrate, and will extend to him
that undivided support that SSthe best and
wisest need IN . day like the present.
ReSOLusd, That the late decision Of the
Attorney General of the United States, in
relation to the self.expatFiation of rebels
who have gone into rebellion from loysI
sections, meets with and has our cordial
and earnest approval, and we pledge our
selves to aid In the enforcement of so just
and wise measure, which alone gives se-
curity to the lives and property of loyal
men. '-- ~
Resozged, q therefore, That we are deter.
mined that no rebel deserter, paroled pris.
uner or any one who has voluntarily gone
into rebellion, and have aided or abetted
in any way this hdll-begotten conspiracy,
whether originally from this county or
elsewhere shall be permitted to return or
remSinsin this county, they having been
in search of their rights elsewhere, and not
having any here they must remain where
they sought them, and where they can find
more congenial spirits than among us.
