,g1ii H.al) RESOLUTIONS. a' Cog
WHEREAS, 1t Is right and proper that
those who have successfully fought for the
maintenance Of the Union, and against re-
bellionl and secession, to give their views
on the political questions of the day, es-
pecially when tn se questions affect the
cause for which we left our homes for the
field of battle and of glory; therefore, be it
ReSolUed, That we hold the union of
these States to be as perpetual and COM
plete now. as before the rebellion, and that,
In the words of ANDREW JOHNSON, loyal
men from the Southern States shonld be
at once admitted to seats in the Congress of
the United States. 1..o ~ ra
Resolved, That the negro did not save the
Union, but that 1t was saved by white SOL
diers and sailors, for white men.
ResOl0ed, That the Constitutional amend
ment- having for Its object the degradation
Of the whites to the level of the blacks,
meets our hearty condemnation
Resolved, That the action of Congress In
relation TO the equalization Of bounties has
been from the beginning of the last session,
hypocritical, mercenary and fraudulent,
and each soldier and sailor should, by his
vote, show the Ohio delegation that we
know how to condemn re-s
ReSolued, That we approve the principles
Of the Philadelphia Platform of Aug. 14th,
and the Restoration Policy of Andrew
johnson, and believe that In no other way
shan that proposed by him, can we gather
for ourselves and for our children, the
fruits Of our privatiOns, our sufferings, our
wounds, and of our successes.

Ing gentlemen were appointed committee
