By Mr. Bouic, Joint Resolutions expressive of the sentiments of Re- publicans as to the rule to be accorded the peoples re- cently acquired by conquest. Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the flag of the United States is solely the emblem of the principles of this Country, which must of necessity go with the flag, and whenever it ceases so to be and so t-o go it stultifies the manhood of the nation. Resolved, That wherever our Flag floats, it is an an- nouncement to the world that these, the principles of our country which find their embodiment in the Consti- tution. are to prevail; that then the spirit of liberty coupled with the assurance of "equal opportunities for all and special privileges for none," must dominate. Resolved, That whilst conquests generally lead to troublesome questions and oftimes disastrous results, yet principles are of God and eternal, and should never he cowardly submerged on account of the necessities or ex- pediencies of the moment; far better acknowledge an error and rectify it, than attempt to destroy a principle.
