JoHNsoN REPUBLICAN

JOHNSON IN
CoSSRcrIcur.-A meeting was held at
Hartford, recently, Of such Connecticut
Republicans as approve the policy Of
President johnson. The meeting was
limited to those who supported the Gov
eminent during the rebellion, and voted
the Republican ticket at the late State
election. Among those present and acting
in the meeting were o. F. Winchester, the
L;eutenant-G Governor elect, Leverett E.
Pease, Secretary Of State elect, James F.
/ Capcock, Erastus C. Scranton, Oliver P.
| Winchester and John Woodruff of New
Haven, Col. Dwight Morris Of Bridgeport,
Thaddeus Welles of Glastonbury, Lyman
". Coe of Wolcottville, and Thoma:
Cowles Of Pennington. The following
resolutions were adopted:
Resolved. That we are decidedly in favor
Of the immediate admission. to their seats
in Congress, Of such loyal Representatives
and Senators as prove their election, aid
satisfy each House that they possess ia
requisite qualifications.
Resolved, Thatas the secession doctrines,
which ripened into rebellion agains. the
Government, have failed Of success in the
las, appeal, the enactments which the in
surgent States adopted, declaring such
States out of the Union, are absolutely
null and void, such States remaining, as
before, entitled to all the rights and privi-
leges which they possessed under the Con-
stitution !; only the individuals who par
ticipated in the rebellion being guilty OF
the crime Of treason and subject TO pardon
or punishment.
Re,olred, That without impugning the
motives of the majority in Congress, who
treat the late insurgent States as conquer
ed provinces. to be governed in their local
and municipal affairs as il they were with
out the Union, and beyond the protection
Of the Constitution, we nevertheless de-
clare our firm conviction that such legis-
lation is not calculated to promote the
mutual confidence upon which alone the
Union can be sustained and transmitted
in all its just proportions to those who
shall come after us.
Resoired, That we deeply sympathize
with the President. Andrew Johnson, in
his efforts to maintain the Constitution in
violate against the prejudice Of sectional
partisans-the honest but mistaken opin-
ions of impracticsble theorists, and the Bit
ter taunts and gross abuse Of unscrupu-
lous and vindictive enemies and we
doubt not that when the voice of the peo-
pie is fully expressed, it will be found to
be in vindication Of his just and magnani-
NOUS policy.
The meeting also adopted an address to
the electors Of Connecticut, explaining and
defending the principles set forth in these
resolutions. The Convention adjourned
to meet in New Haven on the 9th Of May.
The Hartford Courant says the resolu-
tons and address were adopted "as the
expression of the sentiment of the conser
vative portion Of the Union party, and not
as the platform Of q new organization"
Doubtless the gentlemen concerned in this
movement will be denounced as sympa.
thizers with copperheads and rebels. But
the Republicans Of Connecticut know
them to be true men. Indeed they have
just elected the most prominent among
them as State officers on the same ticket
with General Hawley. If Members Of
Congress will take pains to inquire they
they will find that not q few of the most
staunch and influential Republicans all
over the country believe that loyal repre-
sentatives from the South should be ad-
mitted to Congress, and that their con-
tinued exclusion threatens the ruin Of the
party.-Springfeid, (Mas'.) Republican,
