what has heretofore been callad the two sections
of this great republic, such perfect knowledge Of
each other as to unite forever q common people
and blot out forever any prejudice that may ex-
st in the hearts of the people Of any State of this

natural passions of the human heart, and are
so near akin to patriotism as TO be distinguished
from it only in the court OF higher reason, to
bring the citizens of every state with us to a no

and sections that knows no country, no State, no
South, no North, no East, no West, but only
native land that claims no mountain slope;
that clings to no river bank that worshps no
range of hills but lifts the aspiring eye to cont

Resolved, That we, natives of the Northern
states Of this Union residents of the State of
Georgia, here assembled, do return our heart
felt thanks to the Southern people for the real
kindness and courtesy received at their hands
and that we are sincerely glad TO be identified
with them in the upbuilding of the great COM
mon-wealth of this nation.
Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to do all in
our power to diffuse the truth regarding the So
cial, political and temporal condition of this
