Of all ranks and in all departments, b
whose vslor, under divine Providence, thi

honorable and disabling wounds in ths
sery ice of their country.
ResoLved, That while we deplore tn,
death, by assassination, of Abraham Lin
coin as closing career of transcenden
usefulness and honor, and IS a great ma
tional calsmity. We recognizes in Andrew
johnson, his successor, q Statesman o.
ability, experience, high toned patriotism
and the utmost unsullied integrity; one
who has rendered invaluable services &c
the Union cause during the rebellion, and
whose single-hesded devotion to the per.
manent prosperity and glory of common
country, commands the respect and conf.
dence of the American people, and that
we renew to him in his administration
assurances of cordial and effective support
which were rendered by US in his nomina-
ton snd election.

wise and just the sentiments of kindness
and c5nfldence which President johnson

ties and individuals in rebellion who accept
the perpetustion of the Union and the per-
petusl prohibition of slavery as the legiti-
mate and iTreversableI. results of the war;
that we approve the initial steps he has
taken towards relaxing the bonds of mill

in restoring TO their people tull End com;
plete control over their local sff4irs Just

hitherto existed, and that in all the meas
ures he may adopt tending to the attain
ment of these great and benehcient ends,
we pledge him our cordial and hearty sup
port.
ResoEued, That while we regard the
national sovereignty over all subjects,
committed to it by the Constitution OF the
United etates, 30 having been confirmed
and re 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
shem by the same constitutional authori-
ty, and whenever it sbsll be deemed COM
pstible with public safety to restore to the
States lately in rebellion the renewed exer-
cises 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 eleva-
lion and preparation for the full rights OF
of sll their people, iRssmuch as

permit, and no sooner.

nation in the defences of its own existence
Is 9 sacred and inviolable obligation rest
ing upon all the property and all the re-
sources of all sections of the country for its
fulflment; that while we demand at the
hands of Congress such measures Is shall
impose the burden of tsxation equally and
upon classes, we have full re-
lance upon the people for the maintenance
Of national honor and the ultimate extinc-
lion of the national debt; and that we sp-
prove and endorse the determination of
he government under no circumstance es
10 assume directly or indirectly any por-
ion of the debLs incurred by the rebel
authorities in the prosecution of the war
against the United States.

If our intercourse with foreign nations in

steadily sustained the Government in its
contest with the rebellion, not only against
open enemies in the field but against those
who gave the aid of organized sympathy
snd encouragement in this and other
loyal States, SO will it now maintain the
authority and second its efforts to restore
all the blessings of Union, freedom and
peace to all sections of our common coun-
t1y; and we confidently appeal to its past
hi. tory, its present position and the char
acter of Its candidates, IS its title to public
