Mr. Redman [Redmond] offered a series of resolutions inviting the cooperation of all citizens of the State who have been identified with the late rebellion, and who heartily and in good faith acquiesce in the reconstruction measures of Congress, and have wholly renounced the detestable theories of secession and State sovereignty, as opposed to national union; and declaring to those who have been engaged in the late rebellion, and who do not publicly agree with us that we desire no proscription, no confiscation, no laws that interfere with any of their rights of life, liberty or prosperity, but desire to enhance the prosperity and happiness of every citizen of the State, and to promote unity of feeling, and as soon as possible, consistent with the safety of Union men, to obliterate the use of the words “traitor” and “rebel” in this State.
