Resotued, That as vglant custodians OF that bene-
hcont system Of cvi and rellgous freedom bequeatn-
cd 70 US by the fathers OF the repuDnc u ID our dut
10 meet and repei all insdious attacks upon our nd
ertes - well - al open assaults; ana that we view
with indignation and alarm the assertion OF prnci-
pies and purposes on the part o. the recognised ex
ponents OF the Roman Cathohc Church IN tne United
states, subxerslvs Of onr republican % inansus,ons.

the complete establishmenf OF despotism.
Rssolued, That while, In the past political divisions
Of the country, a. Wings and Democrats, we have
struggled in honest conflict contested principles
and measures, all Of which are settled, yet in
the prsscnt crisis Of danger to all that both parties
hold dear we will bury every remembrance Of past
opposition and "pledge TO each other lives, our
fsrtuncs and our sacred hanor" not to ex-
ertions until our country shall be freed from the
Resolcsd, That we proclaim, as the cardinal princi-
Piles Of our political and moral creed, sacred regard
for the constitution in all its provisions, upon which
based our glorious American principles freedom
freedom freedom conscience,
freedom of the prcss together with school system
for the diffusion of ntelligence, sanctcd BY an open
Bible the rule Of faith and practice holding ~ an
established principle that intelligence and virtue are
Resolped, That while we welcome 70 our country
the victims OF tyranny from foreign lands, and oer
them place BY our side under the shield Of our CON
stitution we claim for Americans the right govern
their own country; and those who do not Like our
government have hearty consent TO 60 elsewhere
IN the pursuit Of happiness.
Kssolved That the fourth resolution Of the meeting
at Caruss Saloon, recommending 70 the President OF
the United States prescription OF all officers Of the
federal government who may have thought ft 10 be-
come members Of the association Of Know Knoth-
ings-s Recommendation which, before its adoption,
had been recognized and acted upon by the Execu-
tive Of the United Sates-proposes an alarming and
dangerous nfraction Of the principles Of sclfgovern-
mcnt and calls for the prompt and decisive rebuke
Of oil the free citizens OF these United States, without
distinction Of party, sect or creed.
R<sotnfd, That every Protestant denomination IN
the United States maintains the constitutional Prin-
ciple Of separation OF Church and State In which
principle many American Catholics sincerely concur,
while on the other hand, the Papai Church abroad
openly, and always, and everywhere maintains the
doctrine Of obcdence OF the civil TO the ecclesiastical
authority, both in Europe and America the sad and
ralnens effects o. which, N the one, are seen n
misery 70 our own happy land, and In the other, In
the ignorance and poverty Of the masses, in the
wealth and vices Of he clergy, and in the ceaseless
lnsurrccu0ns, mhssacres, ana proVerDAl lnstaDlnty
Of our Southern sister Republics
Z Resolped, That upon these principles we appeal
from the opinions, wbose proclamation has caused
this meeting, 10 the people Of the United States
and, although we might infer they are an exponent
Of executive feelngs from the official positions Of
those who controlled the proceedings yet we will still
hope that the President who alone has the power,
VIII arrest the prescription already begun OF faithful
ohice-hoders, both Democrats and Wings for daring
TO entertain American and Protestant sentiments,
and will reject the mercenary suggestion urged upon
him by the fourth resolution OF the meeting last week
as covert scheme 70 gratfy the s9petse Of ofice,
seekers at the expense Of many who zealously and
efnclently aided IN hs elevation 70 power and whose
removal under existing circumstances VIII nx an In.
dehDie stain upon him as man and as the PRESIDENT
OF the United Statcs
