r.. RssOlvsd That we hold sacred, as we dOall other
parts that instrument the following provisions of the
Constitution Of the United states:
"The trial Of all crimes, excep! In cases OF impeach
ment shall be by jury; and such trial shall be held In
The state where the SAID crimes shali nave Deen cOn

And we utterly condemn and denounce the repeate

alarm the illegal and unconstitutional seizure and i'm

unobstructed. but by Executive order by telegraph o
otherwise and call upon all who uphold the Union, III
constituton and the laws to unite with US In denounc
ing and repsnR such 1agTant violation OF the STATE an
Gedeal Constitutions and yTannical infaction OF n
