This unusual resolution had passed the
House on January 28 and the Senate the following day. It expressed
confidence in President Lincoln and recommended "him to the
nation as the people's candidate for the presidency for another term,
subject to the decision of a national convention." Also on this
date, both houses of legislature passed a resolution reaffirming
Michigan's "unalterable attachment to the Government, the
Constitution and the Union, and their undying hostility to the
rebellion" and their support of the national government to bring
the war to an end.
