WHEREAS, In these turbulent and revolutionary
times, it becomes every lover of his country TO
hlmse1r the struggle against the mongrell crew of
Hartford Convsnlioniss, Blue Light Federaiss, and
many other equally odious compacts together with the
al outlaws Of The present Legislature who have the
grossest manner hampled upon our sacred Constu.
ton, and presented before The American people ihe
truly dangerous precedent that the Majority yield
10 the designing minority, and thereby make It practi
cable at any moment when conspiracy is rife in the
land 10 overthrow sacred republic, ano establish
anarchy in its slead And whereas since the glorious
days of 40, when by humbuggery and debauchory the

forms of coon skia cider barrel, and log cabin,
pipe laying, has become Questionable from the cir.
cumsance that the iron laws Of the penitentiay have

the dslricting bil in which the Democracy allowed
the whg minority IA out ofho 81 Districts taking the
results of the coon skin campaign test, and still
they were Dissatisfied for they could contrast their de-
ceptive state of things with their actual strength and
like BelShazzar read on the wall their doom. Therefore
Resolved, That virtue and integrity form the broast
works of every republican, and by such tests must
wretches sink to utter nlamy when they lose sight >of
their oaths, and their responsibilities.
Resolved, That the act on the part Of the wings in
Consping together 10 dsorganise The Sa'e government
is in perfect harmony with the reasonable designs ofhe
Hartford Convention Federalists to pecede and dsor-
ganse the government Of The United States during the
last war.
Resolved. That Jefferson's prediction has proved
true, in warning the Democracy be vgilenl- anci-
pating that after public Odium had frowned the Federal
party down with contempt that they would cast away
that their reasonable acts had forever disgraced
and reorganizs under other by the use of fraud and
bybribery of all descriptions, would again triumph SO as
to consumate their selfish and reasonable designs.
Resolved That the election of 1910, was carried by
the Federa' in consequence ofprofessng to advocate
democratic prncpes-as they get possession of
the Government the Federal mask is thrown off, and
pledges ofthe most sacred kind are wantony violated,
and men who took leading part IN the ''coon-skn
and hard.cider campaign" who have been honest and
consistent in the support of the same principles that they

tenance principles that would directly tend to disso-
luton of this Government; principles that have been
condemned by demoopaic people. ever since the as>
cendency of fBlack,Cock-ade Federalism in 1898.
Resolved That we approve oflhe course the Demo-
cratic party pursued in compelling the Banks TO resume
specie payments; time has proved it to be alike benef
cia to the Banks as to the people. The effects of this
measure has been to reduce exchange from Is and 90
per cent to rate seldom greater than two per cent
Resolved, That we approve generally the Bank
bill adopted by the Democrats during the Legislative
Session of last winter; That Stockholders should be
individually liable for The ISSUES of their paper the
other citizens iube f6rlhe dsbs they con-
tract.
Resolved, Thathe Constitution ofthe United States,
guarantees 10 each State republican form of Govern.
ment and that we bolieve property restriction of the
right of suffrage is antsrepublican and in whate YER
State may exist beleYe that the people have an
indsputable right to meet in convention for tile purpose
Establishing it without ary regard or consent of the ex-
isting government.
Resolved, That we most cordially approve Of the
course the Democratic Press have pursued in susS
tanning the friends of free surge in Rhode Island for
the purpose of abolishing the old British Charter Of
Charles I'd, and substituting in its stead constitution
based upon the broad Democratic ground of universal
suffrage.
Resolved, That the Federalists in opposing the right
of suffrage in Rhode Island and thereby disfanchising
third ofbe population Of That State, only acting
in accordance to the established principles of the Fathers
of The Old Federal Party.
Resolved That not to be wondered at, that the
Federal mass meetings toerabe well attended; he.
cause after drawing their funds from the Banks in 1910
to deay the expense Of their coonskln debaucheries,
many ofhe Banks have since exploded so that those
who are largely indebted 10 hem have been able to pay
their debts 10 those institutions at from 10 10 25 per
cent on the dollar, so that the large amounts made by
the Federal spectators in this way, places them in
situation again to enter the political contest with large
sums Of money to defay their expenses, swinded out
of the hard earnings fihe people.
Resolved. That the course Of the Al Wing members
Of the Legislature ofihs State in resgning their seals
merely because they could not dictate to the Democratic
majority is revolutionary and disofganising and calls
loudly for every lover Of his country to awake and
girt on his armour and al the ballot box on the second
Tuesday in October next teach these conspators that
they were the of the people and not the tools
oflhe Kelley faction. , ,.t.g ...t,L...,. .....

cally administered believing il to be all ofte protection
necessary to establish our Manufacturers upou sound

sovereign people would properly rebuke their dsorgan
zers in sending to the Halls ofLegslaion some Of our
honest CanalIers, and requesting thei silk stocking
gentry 10 draw their gloves aud ply ntthe wheebarrow
without the prospect of pay, and they would then ap.
