Judge Daly then read tho following resolutions:— Resolved, That the series of military auccessos—tho capture of Fort Donelson, the taking of Vicksburg, the seizure of the mountaing fastoesses of Chattanooga, ant, finally, the advance of the Army of the Potomac against formiaable natural obstacles, a heavy opposing -fa and a skiiful general, to within sight of thecisy of it mond—are events so'importaut in their bearing upon the successful issue of the war as to call for a public ex- pression of the obligatioos which the American people are under to I.ieutenant General Grant, and to every off- cer and soldier under bis command Resoived, That the co operative efforts of the Army of the Cumberland, under Major General Sherman, in its Tecent passage over the mountains and descent upon the plains of Northwestern Georgis, call for an expt fou of admiration for tbo strategic skill and ability displayed by its commander, and for the dauotiess courage and Indo-« mitabio perseverance exhibited by both officers and men, Resolved, That, from the commencement aud through- Out the war, the American navy has maintained its high character, To its cooperation we are jodebted for the opening of tho Miestssippt. In its strength and efficioncy we have (oun¢ our chief security agamst foreign inter- ference; aud the emuiative cbaraoter of its deeds has been such as tociaim, in equal proportion, the tribute which is due to our soidiers and to our sailors. Resolved, That the events which are now transviring, in compelling the enemy to retreat within ematier geo graphical {imits, while our forces bave the ability to ad- vance upon bis vulnerable points from several quartens at the same time, snow the wisdom of confiding the sole direction avd management of military operations to one general officer, that, having reaped liltie but disaster rom entrusting important military commands to civi- liaus, who, whatever may be thetr general capacity, have not the necespary military education or experience. we congratulate the ‘country pon this chango {a its policy, and upon the fact that go responsible a trust hag been placed in the hands of a man who has the uutvorsal con fidence of the nation. Resolved, ‘that at no period since the beginning of hos- tillties has the prospect been go favorable as at nt of ‘& speedy and successtul termination of the war; but, to fosure it end, it is necessary that our army should be eftictently and rapidly reimforced; that every effort should be made to stimulate enlistments, avd that the young men of the country who have the requisite vigor add gerve should come forward and share in the honors whicb will follow them through life, of bavibg fought in the ranks of that noble army by whose courage and pa- tritism the republic was saved.

But three years have passed away, varied with successes filed with licht and sometimes eclipsed in shade. But at the opening of this eventful campaign Featd new "ybte ‘and now hopes commenced to dawn upon the American peopie. (Applause.)
