ResolUed, That we heartily indOrse
those patriotic sentiments of Andrew
johnson, that traitors should be pun-
Ished and treason made odiOus; we
expect that he will remember mercy
IN administering justice to the rebels.
We indorse every act and measure of
the President and Congress, that has
for its aim and design the more firm
establishment of the foundations of
our glorious Union on the immutable
principles of right, justice and indis-s
soluble unity of all the States under
the Federal Constitution. That pa
triOtism and devotion to the National
flag in the hour of peril, shall be hon.
0red and rewarded. And especially
do we require at the hands of tile
President and Congress-, that they
shall protect the Uunionists IN the
late rebel States, in all their rights
against domineering and ostracizing
rebel oppression and tyranny. We
demand that both Congress and the
President, who were elected by the
great Union party of the country, shall
not disappoint the Just expectations
Of those who placed them IN power
that they shall, as each have the same
end IN view-the good of the country

respecting the manhood and honest
convictions Of the other. While they
agree on great principles, each should
concede something to the other in the
details and the manner of the exc
cution of them.
Resolved, That those who sustained
Ethe flag in the field and those who
gave their moral support to the Gov
eminent at home, are the only true
conservatives, and that they, and they
only, are the safe wardens of the pub
lie liberty and safety, and should alone
be trusted; and that the party. which
carried the war to successful con-
clusion is also abundantly able, and
indeed is the only proper party to set
tie the question of reconstruction.
Resolred, That as an additional
declaration of our principles, we re-
adopt and reafirm the resolutions
passed by the Soldiers Mass Meeting
held at Boonville, April 18th, 1866,
and also heartily indorse that organi-
zation.
Resolued, That we pledge ourselves
to erect a monument at the County
seat to the memory of the immortal
heroes from Warrick County, who fell
