Resolved, That, in the language of the Inaugural, "Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battle field and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better Angels of our nature." Resolved, That we pledge the faith of the People of Wsiconsin, to aid the President of the United States in carrying out the principles indicated in his Inaugural Address to the fullest extent, putting into the scale, if need be, "Our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."
