The Cecil Whig.
Resolutions.

The following are the resolutions adopted
scmbled at Elkton on the 18th instant, and
which should have appeared in our last issue
along with the proceedings of tie Convcn-
ton, but, as stated last week, were mislaid,
The last resolution endorses the persistent
loyalty and patriotism of our present Y. s.
Senator, Hon. j. A. j. Crcswcll. and gives
the lie to such sore head SANDERS as have
been put forth by Col. Leonard and his
Comprehend allies. An endorsement by the
people, who know Mr.. Creswell best, and
whose unfinchng determination in their war
upon treason and traitors, has been execrated
by every Coppcrhead in the State, will out
weigh thousand times, the rebel ISLANDERS
that have been heaped upon him.
Resolred, BY the Union party of Cecil
county, in convention assembled:
LIST. That we return our most humble and
grateful thanks to Almighty God for the glo-
rous victories which have achieved the com.
plete and final overthrow of a rebellion in
stigatcd and carried on without Just cause
against the most beneficent government on
earth.
ID. That for the brave soldiers of the
Union who, Mt the call of their country,
abandoned the comforts and delights of their
homes and firesides, and voluntarily endured
the sacrifices and dangers of the battle field,
we again reiterate the strongest expressions
of our admiration and devotion. The his
toric fields which will be hereafter sanctifed
by the blood of the heroic dead, shall through
all the future be deemed holy ground, and
the scars and wounds Of the survivors who
have returned to US shall be regarded as
badges of honor, appealing alike to the ten
der sympathies and the liberal justice of the
nation they have served.
Sd. That to Andrew johnson, President
of the United States, we will render the
same untaltering support which we gave to
his honered, yet lamented predecessor and
that we will sustain to the full extent of our
influence and power, that plan Of rcorgani.
cation which will effect the earliest resump-
ton of the constitutional relations of the
States lately in rebellion, to the General
Government, and at the same time insure
the total destruction of the institution of
slavery and all the barbarous incidents there
of, and also preserve and protect the nation
from all attempts at secession or rebellion,
and all danger of civil war in the future.
4th. That we have read with regret and
modification the speech of Hon. Montgom-
cry Blair. at GAINESVILLE, on the 2Gth ult.-
That we reprobate and denounce the gross
ISLANDERS, which he on that occasion uttered
against the distinguished friends of the
Union whom he there assailed. That we
cherish the highest admiration of the man.
ner in which Hons. VIM II. Seward, Edwin
NJ. Stanton, S. p. Chase and Joseph Holt
have conducted the public affairs, committed
to their charge. during the whole of the war
just closed. so honorably to them all and
that we hereby endorse and approve of the
course in Congress of our present United
States Senator, Hon. J. A. j. Creswell that
as We claim to have the best opportunity of
knowing his sentiments, from our own per
sonal knowledge we hereby proclaim our un-
wavering confidence in his original and per-
sistent loyalty. That the said Blair, by his
falsehoods against the leaders of the Union
party, and his dcnuncation of the Registry
Law, and the paltry excuses which he urges
for the treason of his ''brethren," is, as we
believe, striving to weaken and divide the
Union party of the State, and place rebels
in power in order that he may profit by
their ascendcncy; and therefore deserves
and receives our unqualified censure.
