Proceedings of the Unconditional Union Party
Summary
Among the resolutions passed by the Frederick County Unconditional Union Convention, which met at the Court House on June 2 (1866), one opposes negro sufferance and “representation on a negro basis,” while another endorses the Registry Law, which excludes from political power those who joined in or supported the late rebellion. Officers were Upton Buhrman of Jackson District, chair; Dr. Thomas Sim of Liberty and David J. Markey of Frederick, vice presidents; and J.H.T. Rudy of Middletown and H.F. Steiner, secretaries.
