RESOLVED .
W. VEIRs BoUIC.

We love our country, and the Union as our
fathers formed it, and acknowledge our obi
CATION to support the Constitution Of the
United States, and all the constitutional laws
thereof, and our willingness to aid all legal y
constituted officers of the United States in the
proper discharge OF their constitutional and
legal duties.
We love our State, and acknowledge our
obligations to support the constitution and
constitutional laws thereof and our willing
ness to aid all legally constituted officers OF
the State in the proper discharge Of their con-
slilutional aud legal duties
Weapprove Of the manly protest ofGovcrnoI
Hicks against the occupation of the soil and
the seizure Of the public works of this State
by the Federal authorities for military pur-
poses against the wishes of the people, and
without the consent of the Governor and
Legislature.
We do not approve Of the present political
position of Governor Hicks IN which he re-
pubiates the manly protest above referred To.
We approve the patriotic protest of our
Legislature against the aggressons of the
Federal authorities upon the rights of the peo-
pie of the State, and the State itself, aud
against the unconstitutional Illegal and OPP
pressiye military searches arrests, imprison-
ment and persecution Of numbers OF our
worthy and true fellow-ciizens.
We are opposed TO abolitionism, or Black
Republicanism, in all its phases, open or con-
cealed, and to all measures of peace or Of war
calculated, directly or indirectly, to establish
the principles of that sectional party ms the
theory upon which the Federal Government is
TO be administered, and TO abolish slavery in
the States by Federal authority.
We hold the Black Republican Abolition
party in the North, and their sympathizers
here and in the South, responsible for the ex-
isting civil war, which, il persisted in, we
fear, will destroy our free institutions and
leave the people overwhelmed with an enor-
nous public debt.
AS lovers of our countrymen, we are unwill-
ing to take up arms and shed fraternal blood
and are willing to use all constitutional and
legal means 70 bring about a speedy amicable
and honorable termination Of the national
calamites which, if continued, it is appre-
hended will degenerate into horrid social war,
impeling our unfortunate neighhor, or rela-
tive even, to destroy another, and hanishing
from society att safety person and property

DIED, January 18th, at the house OF his father,
Mr.. George Graf, Of this county, GEORGE
R. GRAFT, in the 23rd year of his age.
When about nine years old he professed his
faith in Christ, becoming a communicate in
Rockvillcand Bethesda Presby churches.
For the greater part OF his life he was an in
valid, and for many years a great sufferer.
Confined TO his home, and much of the time
10 his bed, he was one Of the Lords hidden
ones whom He has chosen in the furnace Of
trial. BY his consistent life, his unmurmur-
ing patience and chiidlike trust, he adorned
the doctrine of Cod his Saviour.
The ransomed multitude whom John, in
apocalyptic vision, beheld arrayed in white
robes, with palms Of victory in their hands,
serving God day and night in His temple,
were those who had come out of great iribu'
lation and washed their robes and made them
white in the blood of the Lamb.
Those who mourn his loss are sustained
and comforted by the assured confidence that
he is now one of this blood-washed throng.

There's anguish in the household,
'Tis desolate and alone,
For fondIy cherished darling
From the parents has flown.
A little form is missing,
a heart has ceased 10 beat,
And the chain Of love lies shattered
At the desolator's feet.
Remove the empty cradle,
Her clothing put away,
And all her little play things
With your choicest treasures lay.
Strive not to check the tear drops
That fall like summer rain
For the sun Of hope shines through them
You shall see her face again.
Oh think where rests your darling
Not in her cradle bed
Not in the distant church yard
With the still and mouldering dead
But in a heavenly mansion,
Upon the Saviour breast;
With her Saviour's arms about her,
He takes her home to rest
