added to ill vacancy The object OF

Central Committee, to take steps to call

That we are now rs heretofore, ardeHtly at +
tachod to the union Of the States, under the .
Constitution Of the United States, that we /
deny the right of any State to secode aud I
hold that all attempts at secession are mil /
and void, that all the States are now Stntes
of this Union as before the rebellion. and we
deny the power OF the General Government,
under the Constitution, to exclude State
from the Union or to goyernit as territory
ReSotccd, That under the Constitution Of
the United States is reserved to the several
States the right to prescribe the qualifications
of electors therein, and that il would be sub
yersiye Of the principles of our Government
for Congress to force universal suffrage upon
any portion of the country in opposition to
the known wishes Of the citizens thereof
Resolped, As a consequence Of these prin.
eiples, that we cordially endorse the rcstora.
ton policy Of President johnson as wise,
patriotic, constitutional and in harmony
with the loyal sentiment and purpose of the
people in the suppression of the rebellion.
with the platform upon which he was elec
ted, with the declared policy of the late Pres
ident Lincoln, and the action of Congress,
in its pledges given during the war.
Resolred, That believing that Governor
Swami is in full accord with the above plat
form ofprinciples, we pledge linn our hearty
support, and feel satisfied that vast MAORI ,
ity ofthe conservative people Of Maryland
will sustain his conservative administration.

tuto for the above, the following.

1t is all important that the Policy Of
President johnson should be sustained
effectively blythe People otherwise the
well organized cohorts Of tho radical
Congress may succeed in binding Them
in their chains The people, we believe,
are fully alive to the importance Of tho
occasion, and know that it j. their bat
tie that President johnson Is fighting,
in tho most djsiaterestad manner a.
gainst the tyranny Of Congress; but, lit
tie can be done without a systematic
organization Of all the friends Of the
President We recommend therefore
the immediate formation Of johnson
Clubs in every district and ncigbbor-
hood in the County Let meetings be
called, and officers elected. r. small at
first, it WILDE sufficient for beginning:
and before many meetings are held il !

the dissemination Of documents, and po-
ltieal information among tho people.

Great EntFsusiasnn.
The mass meeting at the Brooklyn
Academy Of Music, on Wednesday night
to endorse the policy Of President John
son, was one Of the largest and most
enthusiastic gatherings which ever as
sembled in the City of Churches
Every portion Of the spacious edifce
was crowded, and the proceedings were
enliyened by national music.
The Brooklyn Eagie thus speaks of
the meeting:

A Sion of Another War.

A new war Is about inaugurated-a war
Of mutiny In the camp OF Black Rcpubli-
cAnisml In fact, It is already begun, in
Ohio and elsewhere. At Washington, the
irrepressible disunionsts have been firing
into the White House for some time,
STEVENS and SUMMER acting as chiefs OF
the nIgger-gun squad. At Columbus, the
lower House, controlled by Republicans,
voted down resolution to approve of the
policy marked out by President Johnson
10 reconstruct and firmly establish the
Union-the vote being forty-three against
II, TO forty-onc In favor. The Democrats
and the following Republicans voted for
the notion Mcssrs. BANNING, BRONSON
CLARK (of Guernsey,), COULTER, GADDIs,
HARE, MYKRs, NIXON, OBERKLISE, phil
LIPS, RHODES and WILEs. The other Re-
publican members of the House voted
against taking up the resolutions to in
dorse the President.
The plain and unmistakablc language
which the President used the other day, to
the deputation Of white men fron Montana
and the black delegation from the east, will
allow of but one interpretation-that rs the
fanatics have opened fire upon the Execu-
tive, he will return it with that stern vigor
which has ever marked his public charac-
ter. So far, it is but war of bushwack-
ers, but very soon we may hear Of concen-
trated forces, bearing down upon the Head
of the Government from all the camps OF
the mutinccrs in the country. The duty OF
the Democracy is plain.
