| find in the JnurnaI of the House of
Representatives of The first session Of the
2slh Congress. page 476, iha, Mr. Camp
bell. on the 26th February, 1874, moved
the following resolutions: ~
Resolved, That justice and sound policy for
bid the Federal Government to foster one branch
of industry to the deirment of another; or to che
IRISH the interests of one portion TO the injury of
another portion of our common country; that
every citizen and every section Of the country has
a right to demand and insist upon an equality of
rights and privileges and to a complete and am
pie protection Of persons and property from do
nestle violence or foreign aggression.
Resokei, That Congress has no power, un-
der the constitution, to interfere with or control
the domestic institutions of the several states; and
that such states are the sole and proper judges Of
every thing pertaining to their own affairs, not
prohibited by the constitution; that all efforts of
the aholitionists and Others made to induce Con-
grcss to interfere with questions of slavery, or to
take incipient steps in relation thereto are calcu-
lated TO lead to the most alarming and dangerous
consequences; and that all such efforts have an
inevitable tendency TO diminish the happiness of
the people and endanger the stability and perma-
ncncy of the Union, and ought not to he coun-
tenanced by any friend of our political institu-
TONS"
Il will be perceived that these resolu-
lions are identical. word for word, with
the fourth and seventh canons OF this
vaunted Democratic platform; that The
first resolution. which is Identical with The
fourth canon. contains the peculiar doc
irine of the Democratic party on the sub
isct Of /" black and abominahle tariffs"
and itcontains the whole Of their doctrine,
which they boast as theirs exclusively.
THE resolutions were divided. and the
vote was taken upon the FIRST part Of The
FIRST resolution, in the following words:
Resolred, That justice and sound policy for
bid the Federal Government to foster one branch
of industry TO the etriment of another, or to che.
IRISH the interests Of one portion to the injury OF
another portion Of our common country"
What do you suppose, Mr.. President
