good faith TO carry out the views of
President johnson, so far as developed,
for the restoration of our former rela-
tions I'm the Union. That we are in
favor Of legislation that viii secure
to the freedman all his natural
aud acquired rights, among them thar of
testifying IN the courts Of Justice, sub
iect to the usual tests of character and
credibiity, and of such general policy as
will make the freedman contented with
his situation, and a friendly and Jealous
coworker in the great work Of buildingup
and restoring the industry and prosper
ity Of the State.
RcsOlucd, That u present Legislature
has failed 20 comprehend the true situa-
ton of public affairs, and their late ae-
ton in refusing 10 accord to the freed
man the right TO testify in courts of
justice, is, ina our opinion, a deliberate
attempt on their part TO thwart the poll
cies of President Johnson in recognizing
the government of these States, and
restoring them 10 their former position
in the Union under the Constitution.
Resolved, That the assertions Of SUM
ner, Stevens, and other leaders Of the
Radical party, that the people of this
State, notwithstanding their solemn
pledges to the contrary, are unreliable
and untrustworthy, and unfit to be in
vested with the rights and duties of citi
zens of the United States, are utterly
false and unfounded, and are assumed
for q political purpose, by which they
can asssil, and il possible, defeat, the res
t|oration policy of our patriotic President.
And we regard the Radicals of this
State and city, who are in sympathy
and secret correspondence with sumner,
/ Stevensand Company-the enemiesotthe
South and of the Union, n who by mis-
| representing and eliminating their
| fellow citizens. aid them ia their factious
opposition TO the Presidents polcy-as
devoid of truth, of honor and OF patriot
ism and when their practices are
brought to light, as they surely viii be,
/ they win be held up 10 the scogn n eX-
| ecration Of every right minded citizen.
ReS0{Ued, That in order 20 aid Presi-
dent Johnson i'm his patriotic work OF
restoring the States To their former posi-
ton in the Union, with all their COnstl-
mtional rights and duties, it is essential
that the Conservative element OF the
community should be combined and or
| ganiZed. and we win therefore proceed to
the election of a Standing Committe,
whose duty il viii be to appoint sub and
Corresponding Committees, and adopt
such other measures as, in their opinion,
may he necessary for the efficient organ
izat'on of the party
