A resolution passed the Wisconsin assembly. . .

. . . on the 5th inst., tendering to the president of the United States as an unqualified approval of his course from the day of his inauguration to the present time. There was but one vote against it. The people everywhere are of that opinion.

The New York Journal of Commerce says that “Mr. Lincoln has pursued a course of rare wisdom in retaining the united sentiment of the great body of men of all parties with him in his policy, without doing anything thus far to produce a direct issue between the radical and conservative men.”
