Chicago, March 1 . The Minnesota Legislature has adopted the following resolution by a strict party vote : — Resolved, That it is to Congress that the people look for a true reconstruction policy, and we rely upon its firmness and wisdom in the present exigencies of public affairs. Resolutions sustaining the President were tabled by a party vote, and both Houses of the Legislature adjourned to-day. The Wisconsin Legislature passed the following : — Resolved, That while we remember with gratitude the noble and devoted patriotism manifested by President Johnson during the dark days of the rebellion, we should be guilty of deceiving him and misrepresenting our constituents if we failed to declare that his message vetoing the Freedman's Bureau Bill, in its general tone and spirit, has caused pain and disappointment among his true friends and supporters, and has been hailed with exuberant joy by every man whose sympathies were with the rebellion, and who were cold and indifferent when treason threatened the life of the Republic. Resolved, That we most cordially endorse and approve the action of the Senators and Representatives in Congress who have persistently asserted the right of Congress to determine for itself when and in what manner it will admit Representatives from the States disorganised by rebellion ; and we earnestly request them to firmly resist the admission of the Representatives from such States until peacefully secured, and the people of each State positively guarantee equal and exact justice to all men within her borders.
