1866.] OF THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES. 333
of this State will deal with the sympathizers here as the
loyal men of the North, by their representatives in Congress,
deal with the traitors at the South, and that we will de-
fend and maintain the Registry Law of this State until the
permanent safety of the Republic is forever guaranteed and
secured.
Resolved, That this Convention endorses the course of the
Baltimore American in opposing a repeal or modification of
the Registry Law at this time, and it, together with the
loyal press of this State, is entitled to the thanks of all the
friends of the Union.
Resolved, That the course of our Senators and Delegates
from Baltimore city in the General Assembly, so far as relates
to their opposition to the repeal of the Registry Law, meets
our most cordial approbation.
Resolved, That this Convention expresses its confidence
that Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, and
the two Houses of Congress will be able to labor together
to secure the loyal people of the country against a substitu-
tion of rebel political power to control the Government, for
the armed efforts to overthrow it.
Resolved, That this Convention approves the course of His
Excellency Governor Thomas Swann, in opposing the repeal
of the Registrg Law, and that this Convention give him as-
surance of their support in enforcing the Constitution in its
righteous discrimination against the unfaithful citizens of
this State.
Resolved, That this Convention highly approves of the
bill now before the General Assembly for the raising of vol-
unteer militia companies of the returned soldiers of the Union
Army, and that the attempt of the disloyal press to stigma-
tize the bill as an unconstitutional raising of standing armies is
transparently fallacious, and shows only that the measure is
well deserved, and worthy the support of all loyal men.
Resolved, That this Convention approves the votes of Hon.
Francis Thomas and Hon. John L. Thomas, Jr., our repre-
sentatives in Congress, on the Constitutional Amendment
excluding the disfranchised classes in the South from form-
ing part of the basis of representation, and thus securing a
safe guarantee against future danger, and that we disapprove
of the vote of the Hon. Chas. E. Phelps on that Amend-
ment.
