than this they have not the maguanimitY to
give
s. Resslesd That in the Hon. Edwin II.
Stanton we recognizes one whose self-reilans
and unwaveriug support of the course Of the
country calls for our unqualified admiration.
The nation owes him a debt of gratitude for
bis self sacrificing labor, his far reaching
Judgment his activity. zeal, patriotism, untal-
tering faith, and his assumption Of the nee
essary responsibility, most eHlphatiealiy, as
secretary OF war he was the right man IN the
right place. That be Is hated and reviled by
traitors and secession sTmpathisers is as nat
ural as that he should be admired and appiau-
ded by all Loyal men.
g. Resslred, That VIC honor and commend
the wisdom patriotism and moderation Of
Congress, and their determination 10 gather
up and secure tor p0sterlty, in spite OF the
nlachluations Of a faithiass Executive. the
legitimate fruits Of the victory won at so
great a sacrifice OF treasure and OF blood-The
vletory Of the Union over Secession; OF Pa
sriotIsIn over Treason; of Freedom over
Slavery.
: Resglrs3, That we fully iudorse the sen,
tIments of the letter Of Gen. u. ). Grant to
a. johnson, IN reference 10 the removal Of
Gen. Phil. Sheridan, and that We emphatieal-
ir relterate the declaration that the PEOPLE
are q unit against his removal
S. Reso5rsd, That we approve the course of
oar Representatives IN the last Legislature
Messrs. Richards and Weller have proved
themselves honest and reliable men, worthy
OF reelection.
9. Rssoirsd, That we favor the passage Of
Free General Railroad Law, sucn as VIII Ia
cilitate the making OF Railroads through every
part Of The State and that we are opposed 70
.3le Railroad monopoly, and regard the Rail
road power SO unscrupul0usiY used to control
legislation with alarm and dread.
10. Rcsoh,sd That the financial misman-
agement of Bedford county calls upon the
tax payers without distinction Of party to
give the matter their earnest attention. Il Is
time there should be change not only OF
men. but Of method, and the best aud most
speedy change VIII be by electing The Repub-
Hcaa nominees for county Offices this Fall,
from Treasurer to Auditor. 1t would be we'll
at all times to have the County Boards Of
Commissioners, Directors aud Auditors dirI-
Ied in politics. Il is especially desired at
this time.
ii. Resalrsd, That in this contest, the fore
runner Of the Presidential election next year,
we. .urge anon every union man renewed &c
t5vity and zeal. The dead carcass of the
sham Democracy of Pennsylvania should be
buried out of sight. 1t has grown offensive
10 all loyal men who are not blinded by par
tisan b.sotry. Its record during the last i've
years Is covered all over with iniamY. BY
opposing the right Of volunteer soldiers to
vote, by opposing the pay of bounty TO vol
auteers. by opposing the right to make paper
money to pay the soldiers when il was impos-
sibIe TO carry on the war without it, and by
abstructing the Government in every effort to
suppress the rebellion. they alieaated the af-
feati0us Of the people, and they have been
defeated iu every election. We 10 not doubt
they viii be again defeated. Ii is only need
Eul that all loyal men be awake Co their duty
and rally round the dag once agsIu, and We
viii crush ont the last Of the Copperheads
from the and aud purity the State forever
from fheir venom.
