RESOLUTIONS OF STATE CONVENTIONS
Resozoed, By the Union men of
Kentucky, In Convention assembled,
That we stand with the Union men of
the country now. as we have stood
with them through four years of war
for the preservation Of the Govern
ment and those principles of freedom
and justice on which lit was founded.
81 ReSOIred. That secession is treason,
and that all who embarked in it only
enjoy inmunities from the penalties
of treason by reason of the forbear-
ance Of the Government, and of the
loyal people of the land
ResotUed, That we declare our oppo-
sition to the policy and projects
of the rebel Democracy of Ken
lucky in their effort to render
treason respectable at the expense Of
the brave men who wore the blue, and
barred their bosoms to the battle in
defense of the Government in its dark
days of trial, and pledge ourselves to
front combat the spirit thus mani
tested by the "so-called Democracy"
in any shape it may assume.
Resolved, That we believe in the
right of the loyal people of the States,
through their representatives in both
Houses of Congress, to settle the
terms on which the disturbed rela-
tions of the. rebellious States to the
Union may be restored; and that in
common, with the Union men of the
whole country, we insist on such
terms as will make asspeedy restora-
ton of the States lately in rebellion
to their former position in the Union,
compatible with the continued safety
Of the Republic, and the protection Of
life, liberty, and property to all men.
Resolueds That we pledge ourselves
to the, support of the great > Union
party Of the United States which has
declared itself opposed to the. doe
trines of the rebel Democracy, and
we extend to all loyal men of all parts
of the land a warm sympathy, and in
vite cordial cooperation, regardless
Of all party names, in efforts to place
the Government upon an enduring
basis, and one which will secure JUS
tice and protection to all its citizens,
and that will, in all time to come,
battle the secret hate or open hostil-
tiles of its enemies. 4H i. " A9ll
Resolced, That we are the firm
friends of system of general educa-
ton among the people of Kentucky,
and to that end will contribute all our
efforts to place it upon a basis of per-
manent usefulness. ~
