Resol0ed, That we approve of the action of
Jacob Yost, as our representative IN Congress,
in SO far as his congressional record goes, but
we regret the stand he has taken against the
political organization of our State, giving
comfort to the enemy and contributing large
ly to our legislative defeat in the last State
campaign; we regret that he saw fit to bolt our
County Convention to elect delegates to our
last State Conventions; to bolt our District
Convention held at Petersburg; to bolt our
State Convention held at the same place and
Join the Wise Houston Convention. We re-
gret that he appeared before our National
Convention at Chicago in advocacy of the ad-
mission of delegates thereto whom he ought
to have known represented but very small
minority faction of our party, and we further
more sincerely regret the large opposition to
his nomination for Congress in this his own
