Whereas discussions have been INDUCED in this House,
in Committee the Whole, which, with other
lead the conviction that there in this country
bound political association, which
intended to interfere with the purity OF elections and the
ton Of the country such association excited the
and induced the solemn warnings Of Washington in bis
Farewell Address therefore,
Resolrea That in the opinion of this House, the existence
OF bound political associations having in view an
recton of the Of national legislation
with and dangerous to the institutions of republication and
directly hostile TO The genius Of the government.
Resoiud That every attempt prescribe any of c,
account Of their religious opinions favor

resolution We have already given the yeas and nays
II is just sag that nesry all the democrats who

THIS is question which must be squarely met II cam
not be evaded However asprants for Office may dislike
the test the people win demand that every candidate shan
show his hand Such issue that presented by the
resolutions Of Mr. Witle rises above temporary party 10
The idea q opposing the new conspiracy Is based
