RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved, That the formal combina-
ton between the two great columns of
treason, the rebel army of the South
and the rebel sympathizers of the
North, is living proof of impending
calamity to the aus of human liber-
ty.
ResoEUed, That the fundamental
ideas of this combination are, LIST, that
nothing has been gained by the III
S of our arms, but that every thing
has been lost. I'd, to forget the noble
dead sanctified in our hearts; and Sd,
to ignore and outrage the gallant liv-
ing.
Resolved, To remember and reward
those Whose crimes in any other ma
ton would have been punished by
death or -confiscation) is the inspiring
motive of this combination.
ResOtred, That they are formally
united in opposition to the LGWs, the
national credit, the national currency
and the public peace; openly threat
ening a resort to arms if they succeed
in their cherished plans.
ResOIued, That the action of c. L.
Vallandigham in challenging the
votes of resident disabled soldiers lat
the recent State ~electiOn) of Franklin,
Montgomery Co., o. is in keeping with
the reasonable instinct of his nature,
and the verdict of history will ccnsign
him with Arnold, Hampton and For
rest to eternal infamy.
Venorating as we do the great prin-
ciple of Liberty as enunciated in the
Declaration of Independence, we are
again reminded of our lasting obiige,
ton TO our comrades in arms who
stood by the Nation in the hour of her
eminent peril many of them saerif-
cling their all to ave the nation from
dissolution, therefore
Resolped, That we who are in the
enjoyment Of such dearly bought gifts
do once more pledge ourselves TO each
other and to God to cherish the lessons
taught by these brave and fallen men.
ITO us they speak though dead"
Resolved, Thatou National Gene

243, 000of our brave comrades in arms,
are a Mausoleum, sacred to the endur-
ing and self-sacrifcing patriotism of
the soldiers, and should be continual
ly guarded, and tenderly cared for by
the nation.
ReSolUed. Thatit is source of graf
ification that we belong to a party that
has never furnished a traitor to our
country, has never fired a
gun at one of our forts or arsenals,
never depleted the prisoners of war by I
systematized starvation and inhuman
treatment, nor furnished assassins to
fire cities or murder Presidents.
Resolved, That having stood by the
nation in her struggle for life, faced
death on the battlefield, endured hun
ger in most inhuman prison pens, re-
manning true to the flag, true to our
country, and true to God, we now pro-
pose to make the immortal declaration
of Jefferson universal in the election
of Grant and Colfax.
After passage of the resolutions the
meeting adjourned, everything hav-
ing passed off to the satisfaction of all
concerned. Quite a large number of
ladies were present, and our citizens
turned out in goodly numbers.
In the evening the members and
wives and sweet-hearts "tripped
the light fantastic toe" to good mu-
sic.
