or the sake uv harmony, to
admit that Sherman and Grant were, all things considered, worthy
uv bein ranked with Lee and Jackson.

_Resolved_, That the safety uv the Government demands that sich
ez took part in the late unpleasantnis, from the Southern
States, be to-wunst admitted to Congress, and to the other
posishens wich they yoost to ornament, and that the more
unpleasant they wuz doorin the trouble the more they ought to be
admitted.

_Resolved_, That there shall be gushen confidences, we freely
forgive the honored Secretary uv State for the too free use uv
