Concurrent Resolution No. 2.

Resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Kansas, the Senate Concurring therein:

1ST. That we have the utmost confidence in the ability, integrity, and patriotism of Abraham Lincoln, President of the Unitest States, and heartily indorse the great measures, instituted and prosecuted by him, having for their object, the suppression of the Rebellion, the perpetuity of the Union, and the lasting triumph of Freedom.

2D. That we consider his Proclamation of January first, 1863, as the potent instrument, which in the hands of Providence, will assuredly effect the regeneration of the Republic and secure its re-establishment on the solid basis of Universal Freedom, and that his proclamation of December 8th, 1863, having in view the re-organization of the Rebellious States, entitles him to the lasting gratitude of every lover of State Government and impartial liberty.

3D. That we hereby declare Abraham Lincoln to be our choice for next President, and Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, for Vice President; and we propose, that they be made the candidtes by general acclamation, without the formality of a National Convention, believing that the people of Kansas and the Union will rally to their support with a unanimity unparalleled since the foundation of the Government.

4TH. That the Governor be, and he is hereby requested, to forward a copy of these Resolutions to the President of the United States, to each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress, and to the Governors of the several States.

Adopted by House of Representatives, February 1st, 1864. ALEX R. BANKS, C. C. House Rep's Adopted by Senate, February 2nd, A.D. 1864 JOHN T. MORTON, Sec'y. of Senate.
