Resident for Sweden and Norway at
Stock holm, to have been we'll merited

WHEREAS, Mr.. Garlic, since the Pres
ident hOnored him With this nomina
ton, has been severely and, AS we think,
uDiustly assailed by some OF the Re-
publican newspaper organs of the Re-
publican party, and especially by the
Wheeling 1NTELL1GENCER, we deem 1t
proper and BETTING that we, his neigh
bors and acquaintances of long stand
n
fidence IN him and OF our regret at the
failure of his confirmation by the Uni
ted States Senate therefore be it
ReSOLUed, That President Grant in
nominating Hon. John s. Carlile as
Minister Resident at Stockholm, did
what meets with our entire appreciation
and we regard 1t as an act, which, had it
been consummAted by the confirmation
of the Senate, would have been produc.
tive of good to the country.
RcSOlUcd, That we know that Mr..
CArlile at the commencement of the re-
bellIon, rendered Invaluable service to
tho cause of loyalty by his bold and
determined opposition to secession In
the Richmond Convention; and to his
indomitable energy in the cause of the
Union, as much as to that of any other
man, are to be ascribed the rescue of
loyal NirginiaDs from the denOmina-
ton of the rebel Letcher government,
and the restoration OF the government
OF the State on loyal basis; and we are
now largely indebted to him for our
present prosperity.
RESOLVED, That as the first meeting of
loyal men to take measures TO restore
the Government of Virginia. to Its pro-
per status in the Federal Union. was
held in CIarksburs, on the 22d day OF
April, 1861, under the auspices of Mr..
CHrllle and other loyal men of Harri-
son county, and which resulted in the
Wheeling Convention of the 18th OF
May, of that year, and which finally
led to the restored Government; that
we regard the appointment Of Mr.. Car
lille, one of the prominent leaders in
that movement to an important foreign
mission, as deserved recognition by
the President, of what is due to the
loyal people of this locality.
RESOLVED, That we have confidence in
Mr.. Carlile's loyalty to the Govern
ment, and in his fealty to tho 1Sepubli-
can party, as we also have in his abil-
ton to which the President may assign
him. We bclieve him to be able, faith
full and capable.
Resolved, That we have learned with
much pleasure that President Grant
contemplates appointing Mr.. Carlile to
the Brazilian mission. Should this i'm
portant appointment be conferred on
the duties of the mission alike honora-
bly, to himself and satisfactorily to the
and such appointment would
meet with our heartiest appreciation.

course in the United States Senate,
meets with our unqualified approval.
