RESOLUTIONS OF THE CoNeREGATIoEAL Con-
FERENoE.-Tbe following resolutions were
passed at the recent meeting of the Cleve-
land Congregational Conference, held on
the day of the funeral obsequies of Presi-
dent Lincoln, by the large congregation
present, and ordered to be published in the
city papers. Copies of the first three were
also ordered to be sent to Mrs. Lincoln, and
of the last two to our present Chief Msgis-
trste:
Resolved, That in the death of Abraham
Lincoln we mourn the loss of ono of the
noblest and best statesmen known to his
tory q man of unsullied integrity, of pro-
verbal and exalted honesty, of the f nest
humane and generous impulses, of staunch
convictions, and no less stsunch respect
for the demands of those convictions;
man who welcomed, loved and honored
those great political and moral truths
which underlie all righteous, civil govern
ment, and who has shown himself TO have
been raised up of God to lead this nation
through one of the greatest crises ever
known in the history of nations, involving
an entire revolution in public sentiment,
and in the attitude of the Government to-
ward slavery.
Resolved, That we tender our Christian
coincidence and sympathy to the beresved
widow and family of our lamented and
honored Chief Magistrate, commencing
her and her children TO the tender COM
passion of Him whom we love and trust as
the widows God and the Father of the
fatherless.
Resolved, That in view of the permis-
siYe agency of God in this event, we bow
submissively, accounting it our joy to trust
the aIl-wise and good Disposer Of human
affairs, however dark and painful His dis
pensations may be, being assured that
while the nation holds itself true to His
higher law, he will hold Himself true to its
protection, deliversnce and salvation.
Resolved, That accounting the recent
demoniac assassination of President Lin
coin, as one of the legitimate fruits of
American slavery, we accept it es Gods
own intimation to the American people and
to their rulers, that justice and the public
safety demand the condign punishment of
all active, persistent traitors, as the di-
vinely-ordained means of making law q
terror to evil-doersJ and of saving our
otherwise hopeful future from being dark
ened and desolated by another storm of
rebellion, secession and blood.
Resolved, That, grateful for the deliver
ances of the past, we pledge ourselves
afresh over the murdered body of our na-
tion's honorod Chief TO sustain the admin
istratisn of his successor, Andrew johnson,
through whatever may yes rensin to be
done 10 put down this slaVeholders' rebel
lion, sustain the majesty of law, re estab-
lish the auth ority of the National Govern
ment, and secure the equal rights of all
loysl men under the Constitution and laws
of our common country.
