Ist:
W1sreas, The people Of the United

human liberty trampled on BY the mill
,ary arrest, trial. and exile Of Clement
IL. Vallandigham, . citisen Of Ohio,
for words spoken at public meeting.
the seizure Of whose person, and the
whole subsequent proceedings against
whom, ending 10 his banishmeDt, we're
not only IN violation OF the commonest
rights OF the humblest inhabitant Of
any free country, but in audacious and
fisprant de6ancs OF the Federal Goa
stitution.
Received, I. That the arrest and
banishment Of Mr.. Vsllsndighan Is a
violence TO which The people Of the
United States will not and oeght not to
submit.
2. That the remedy for it is the
bslIot.box, at the coming and now
rapidly approaching election. when, by
the votes OF IN outraged people. State
authority viii be restored to the hands
Of the Democratic party, who will use
their power. thus quietly and eoDstitu-
tionally obtained. to protect State
rights, to rebuke and check Federal
usurpation; TO secure the personal i'm.
muniiy OF individuals; and commence
the reconstruction OF the Union.
3. That as it is, il not our firm be-
lief, at least our strong suspicion, that
the design Of the authorities at Wash
ington is, by military aggression, to
provoke a popular outbreak. and thus
to furnish TO themselves an apology for
further invasion OF our liberties, and,
il possible, to enable them TO encunber
Us in the exercise OF our elective fran
chise, we exhort our fellow-citizens
everywhere to patience, and to that
Iorbearance and noble calmness which
becomes a people who, knowing their
rights, know. also, the means for their
peaceful vindication.
4. That, there being no such pun.
ishment known to the laws Of the Uni.
ted States as that Of Srils. it is the
sense Of this meeting that tis the right
Of Mr.. Vallandigham and it will be the
like right of any other citizen upon
whom there should be attempted to be
inflicted by like tyranny like unlsw-
ful and Infamous punishment, to return
forthwith, Notwithstanding bis mock
sentence, TO the State Of which he is a
citizen, and there resume his place
among those who are lsboring for the
regeneration of the Constitution and the
reconstruction OF the Union.
