whole country to the statement herewith
exhibited, as a repor, prepared and present.
cd to the House Of Representatives, by the
minority of the Committee on Elections, TO
which was referred the contested election
from the Stats Of New Jersey and we es
pecially desire TO cali their attention TO the
novel, extraordinary and appalling circum.
Stances, which have driven us TO the neces.
sity ofthus appealing TO our fellow citizens.
from orc eud Of the Union TO the other and
VIC 10 it with the confident assurance, that
they vii give 10 the subject that careful
ard unpyejud,ced consideration which IFS
importance demands, aud their own future
safety and interests, impernusly require /;
that they will unite with Us IN the belief,
which in the honest sincerity Of our hearts
wo entertain, that the Government under
which we live, must soon become worse
than a Turkish despoIism, unless the PEG.
pie, in the majesty OF their strength, shall
arise md rebuke tho perpetrators Of the
outrage which has been committed on the
Consultation Of the United States, the laws
OF one OF tho sovereign States of this Union,
and The rights Of the great body o. the PEG,
pie themselves.
We viii no, enter into minute detail oil
the means by which five Of the Representa-
tiycs of the State OF New Jersey, furnishing
the highest evidence known TO tho laws OF
that State, that they had been regularly aud
cons,i.uionnlly elected, were driven from
their seats, previous to any investigation
Whatever, and denied all rlgh, to participate
in the organization and proceedings OF the
House, and much less will we undertake.
here, to pronounce upon the motives which
| led to this unparalleled proceeding.
We wish to take up this subject at anoth-
or point, and let the country know what arc
tho circumstances under which five other
gentlemen from the State Of New Jersey
have been voted into seats IN the House o
Representatives, who have presented nc re-
turn, no credential, no commission i: and this
done when the members holding the com
missions of the Governor of that State, IN
der the Seal of that Commonwealth, were
at home by leave of the committee, taking
dispositions 10 prove-what they had at al
times averrod they could prove--lhat they
had received a majority Of the idpfm vote
given at the polls.

them make the most Of it. II is matter Of
pride TO US, that we, at least, resisted it, and
resisted T. the last.
We feel that we have discharged our du.
ty; It you are too Indifferent TO yo6r own
Liberties TO discharge yours, be il so--the
consequences must fall partially on your
selves, bu, mainly on your posierity; but
as citizens Of this republic, we tell you we
are mournlully apprebensive for the future,
aud that you may not think we are too
grave and too solemn, on this vitally i'm.
portant question, we beg leave respectfully
10 invite your attention 10 proceedings IN
several of the State legislatures, particu
larly those Of New Jersey, Massachusetts,
New \ orh, aud Virginia, and TO the spe.
cial message of the Executive Of the last
mentioned Commonwealth, and if all this
does not arouse ysu TO the importance Of
this subject, all further effort ON our part
will be IN vain.
But ve will not permit ourselves TO IN.

old enoueh-we have not yet come to that
pass when those who are Clothed with pow

rights Of the people, either for the purpose
of propliating Executive favor on the one
baud, or Of perpetuaiiug political power on
the other.
We respectfully ask that our report,
which those who should hnve acted upon 1t
have refused to receive, (the first instance
Of the kind, as We believe that has occurred
in the Governmeut,) may meet wilh that
calm, temperate, and appropriated doliber
alton TO which il is entitled from the lmpor-
lance Of the question involved.
