Whereas, The city of Wilmington has again
been restored to the authority ofthe United States
and the opportunity is given the citizens without
regard to past party differences to give public ex
pression to their views and purposes ; therefore
Resolved. 1. That we will, lemain at bur homes
and cheerfully submit to the authority of the na
tional government, pledging to it a loyal obedi-
cnee and hearty support.
Resolved, 2. That we believe that by this
course we are promoting not only the interests of
Wilmington, but also of the State of North Caro
lina, by doing what is in our power to restore her
to the Union in which she enjoyed so great pros-
rer.ty in the past and in which alone she can look
for peace and republican freedom for the future.
Resolved, 3. That assuming in good faith the
obligations of citizens of the United States, we do
not place ourselves in the attitude of a subjugated
people, but claim the rights and privileges guar
anteed by the Constitution to American citizens,
and assured to persons in our peculiar condition
by the Proclamation of the President.
Resolved 4. That we call upon our fellow citix
zens of North Carolina to join with us in protest-
^g against the madness of the authorities of the
State in urging the prosecution of this fratricidal
war for a cause which we believe to be hopeless,
whose continuance will only gender our ruin more
remediless in the end, and which is waged- for the
sake of a government in which the people have
justly lost all confidence.
Resolved,—5. That we urge teem to accept the
condition in which tho fortune of war has pliced'
them, and to submit to the national authority /
so that our noble State may be spedily restored to
Union, where the mass ofthe. people have in their
hearts always wished her to be.
Resolved. 6th. That in view of the fact that a
1 large number of our citizens have been reduced to
j poverty by the war, and for want of occupation are
i in danger of great suffering,. of becoming depend-
I ant open the bounty of the government for support
I we would respectfully urge ths expediency of afford
: inn to our community as spedily as possible, such
facilities for commerce and industry as may be com
patible with military movements, and the general
interests of the country.
^Resolved, 7. That w.c take pleasure in bearing tes
timony to the general courtesy and good order of
the national troops, both officers and privates, the
promptness and efficiency of the military authori-
1 ties in protecting the citizens, and especially their ..
| liberality to the poor and suffering in our midst.
Resolve.)., 8. That copies of these resolutions be
sentto the President of the United States, the Gov-
ernor'of North Carolina, and the leading newspa
pers of the State,.
