Mr. DIXON presented the following resolutions of the Legislature of Connecticut; which were read: sun: or CONNECTICUT, GeneralAucmblu, Mnu Session, A. D. 1865. Grateful to Almighty God, who has brought the American people safely through the perils of civilWar, and has opened before them a prospect of peace. pros perity, and power, the General Assembly of Connecticnt, considering the present condition of public adairs thinks fi t to declare as follows; 1. The American people are a nation, and not a confederacy of nations. 2. The States have certain constitutional rights which ought to be preserved lnviolate: but as between the nation and the States. The nation is sovereign, and the States are not. 3. All men within the limits of the U.S. ought to be absolutely free; and no permanent discrimination in rights and privileges ought to on between classes of free men. 4.Treason against a republican governmnent is the greatest of crimes, and ought to be treated as such. Nevertheless, a humane; and generous policy ought to be exercised by the national Government toward the misguided masses of the southern people who were not primarily responsible for the late rebellion. 5. The public opinion of Europe in reference to the domestic affairs of this country must henceforth be of little value to the American people. The Government of the U.S., in settling upon its domestic policy and especially in deciding: what course it will pursue toward the leaders of the rebellion, ought not to be influenced by the wishes, the advice, the Warnings, the entreaties, or the public opinion of foreign nations, but ought, on the contrary look with jealousy and suspicion upon all attempts from such quarters to affect its actions. The government of the U.S. ought never to recognize any Government which has been imposed upon any nation on this continent by the arms of any European Power. 7. It its diplomacy. the Government of the U.S. ought, while courteous, to be frank. It ought not to make pretenses of friendship toward nations which have manifested hatred of this country during our late distress. But peace without friendship towards those who are not our friends, ought to be maintained at all times, if possible, as the true and permanent policy of the U.S.. 8. AndrewJohnson, POTUS by his great abilities, his undoubted patriotism, and his eminent public servive, has entitled himself to the confidence of the nation, and since he is manifestly surrounded by many and great difficulties, and is compelled to adopt experimental policies without assurance of their success, he ought to be sustained in the exercise of great freedom of action; and in all his efforts to tranquilize the country, to maintain its peace and dignity and to promote its welfare, he ought to receive a frank and generous support from the people.
