yention at Philadelphia in any other
light than an attempted fraud upon the
true loyalty of the country; that SAID
convention presupposes by character It's
delegates, deception, treachery ana re-

Resolred, That our thanks are due
and are hereby offered to the Congress
of the United States, for their stern and
unyielding resistance to the usnrpations
of the President, in his attempts to sur
render the Unionists of the South to the
malevolent, unrepentant spirit of rebel
lion or secession.
Resolred, That we recognize new
spirit of rebellion in Tennessee, IN resls-
lance to wholesome laws in its efforts to
prevent,spnstitutional legislation by con-
tumacio& members, and vicious inter
ference with parliamentary privileges by
a partisan Judge All these revolution
airy manifestations are evidently fosteredi
and sustained by an unfaithful National
Executive.
