worthy OI Tue PlctOr Oh the Y alley. ana where.
a he has thus become the chief target for the
'enomous assaults of copperheads and rebels
OF every shade and degree; and where's an
attempt has accordingly been made to disgrace
helped to defeat, and, as was hoped, to utterly
crush; and whereas the time has come for
plain speaking; therefore be it
Resolred, That in this act Andrew johnson,
President Of the United States, has gwen an :.
other unmistakeable evidence OF his antagon-
ism to the will of the people as expressed
through their representatives in Congress. and
OF his purpose to carry out, in defiance OF that
expressed will, measures which have repeat
eddy received the condemnation of the people,
That Andrew johnson. in attemp ting to dis
grace MAJOR General Sheridan for his faithful
adherence to loyalty and determined execution
of the laws. has filed the measure of his of
fences against his country, and deserves to be
promptly arTaigned before the supreme tri-
bunal OF the nation, and degraded from the
high office which he has prostituted to the pur-
poses Of Abblusnfng corruption and still de-
fiant treason.
That we regard the Presidents order re-
moving him from his command as the crown
ing laurel wreath in his career as q patriot
soldier who could neither be seduced by the
Establishments nor awed by the threats of Elk
ecutive power into being made an instrument
OF the rebel assassins Of his district, thoagh
pardoned and supported in their schemes by
the President of the United States.
That we extend to General p. II. Sheridan
for his nobieness of character and undevi-
ating adherence 10 loyalty, justice and truth,
our heartfelt thanks and gratitude.
