Joy that the DARK cloud of war no
longer oyershadows our land. that the
old isg OF the Union again hests over
every foot OF the national t~erritory.
from the Atlantic 10 the Pacific, and
from the lakes 70 the Gulf Of Mexico,
without any where smiling upon a mas
ter or iro8Ding upon q slave; and We
{ reverenHy thank the Almighty Ruler
J Of the world that q most gigantic and
wicked rebellion, 10 perpetuate and
strengthen human bondage, has been
[ oyerruled 70 the establishment Of uni
verssl liberty.
RSs0hsd Iaat in this hour Of nation
al cOugr2tulaiOn over a united
Try, and d constitution free from the
leprosy OF slavery, We express our pro-
fouad sorrow for the death Of our late
belozed President, Abraham Lincoln,
10 whose patriotism, honesty OF pur-
pose and answering fidelity 10 a great
principle We feel largely indebted for
the triumph achieved, and q whole race
made free A continent saved to hb-
ertv viii make his memory immortal,
Res0Lged, That New Hampshire Is
| Justly proud of the gallautry and hero
| ism other brave sons who went forth
to give their strength and their lives
in defence Of the Union and liberty,
we owe 10 ourselves and 70 them 10
maintain and embody in our govern
ment great principles for which they
battled and 50 many of them fell
Rss9tgsd, That while we rejoice that
cha5tled slavery no longer receives the
sanction of law or constitution in cur
broad domain of the American Union,
we annOt be blind to the fact that
many Of the States lately in rebellion
have already adopted codes manifestly
tending 10 the establishment of
other forms OF "invOluutary servitude,'
little less oppressive than that which
has Just been abolished. 1t is the sa-
crco duty of the President, and of
Congress, TO see that the ordinance of
universal emancipation, written in the
blood of our brothers apd sons, be not
by any suOterfuge annalled or made OF
no effect.
RsSohsL, That the scheme to5subvert
our neighboriug republic of Mexico,
aud TO plant by foreign bsyonets a n
Austrian despotism instead, having had
It's origin in undisguised hostility to the
Iniied States, it IS the urgent duty Of
our Government 70 take such decisive
measures as will bring about the early
abandonment of what, under the cir
cunstances,i is nothing less than 9 stand
ing insult to III power and 8
10 our republican Institutions.
R6S0LreA, That we recognize in An
drew johnson, President OF the United
States, the just citizen, the sincere pa
triot, and the distinguished statesman;
that the tone and temper OF his late an
Dual message TO Congress meets our
warm appreciation, and augurs well for
the success of his administration. We
pledge him our hearty confidence and
support in al his efforts 10 restore har-
mOny and mutual trust between the
different sections of the Union upon
the basis OF universal liberty and exact
justice TO all
RssoApsi, That the State and the ma
tional faith pledged for the redemption
Of the public debt incurred in defense
OF the Union, must be kept inviolate,
and that we insist upon an economy IN
the public expenditures, and pledge
the Republican party of New Hamp-
shire 20 retrenehmeHt and reform
wherever practicable. And of the sin
cerity of this pledge we give the high
est guarantee in our power by present
ing again for reelection our present
popular Chief Magistrate, Hon Fred
erick Smyth, against whose official or
personal integrity not even political
Iauc0r Mss dared to utter a word. The
people know his devotion to their inter
osts, honor his integrity, and viii tri-
umphantly ~re-elect him.
