WHEREAS, A long and obstinate rebel

of patriotic hearts and hands, and by the
sacrifice Of some Of the best and brayest Of
the land; and
WHEaEAs, The union Of the States, with
their glorious Constitution, has been pre-
served amid all the conflict Of arms, and
to-day is stronger and brighter for the ter
rible ordeal through which it has passed
ard
WHEREAS, n the settlement Of the new
and untried questions which have followed
the victory we have achieved over treason,
many differences Of opinion amongst the
true UDi0n men of the country must ueces-
aarlly arise, demanding patience, prudence
and concession; and
WHEREAS, One of these questions has been
presented Ia the subject Of the Freedmen
Bureau Bill passed BY a large majority OF
both Houses Of Congress, but returned with
the veto Of President johnson, which has
inspired rebels and traitors with hopes to
distract, divide and defeat the Union party
throughout the country therefore
AGnylLENf AAhs W. az AAHAAA'A9 VI Az
Union party here assembled, do declare
in the issue presented by the veto Of Presi-
dent johnson, of the Freejmen's Bureau
Bill, there is no necessary element Of per-
maueut division between the President and
the majority of Congress who have passed
upon tnst measure; hat the President, IA
the exercise Of his veto power bad the right
without being called in question for bis
| opinions, to announce them as d co ordinate
branch of the Government upon the meas
ure presented Tor his approval.
Rts9lred, That while the special differ
euces of OPin.o on among the people on that
particular bill may be left TO time and the
future policy OF our government TO settle
and dispose Of, there IS no reason why the
| Congress may not provide such additional
measures OF protection 10 the freedmen as
shsll secure the cooperation of the Presl-
dent, aud eiiectually promote theCnd which
the Freedmen's Bureau Bill was mteudedtC
secure.

other kindred questions 10 Is well Tor Qua
Congress and President TO remember the
cost paid for our present pesce, and tha
danger Of entrustiug power 10 participation
in the Government to those whose psrrl,
cidsl hands so lately attempted ITS over
throw.
RcsoTred, That we believe IN the ability
and sincerity Of botn Congress and the Pre-.
sident and their desire 10 do their whole
duty to the country, and we deprecate al
divisions between representatives in Con
gress and their Executive, and we urge
concession By both.
Res0IUcd, That we are glad to RECOGNIZES
ia the late order Of Gen. Howard Of the
