ExncCTIyK CHANHER, ALBANY, August 49, 1885,
have received information the draft 70 about 10
- made 10 The cities Of New York and Brooklyn, and
snestand that there danger Of dsorderv and rotous
aacks upon those who engaged in executing the law
~ COngress.
osnnos believe that any considerable number Of ct
usas disposed the shameful and sad scenes
- ths past month"; which the lives Of many, well
e the innocent Of the guilty, destroyed Our
ooarss consignng 70 punishment many OF
those who then guilty Of acts destructive Of the
vss property their fellow citizens. These
ahoad teach all that real imaginary wrongs cannot be
corrected by unlawful violence. Tho liberties Of
esuntry and the rights Of citizens only be pro-
served by just regard for legal obligations and
aoQuiescence in the decisions OF judicial tribunals.
while believe il would have been a wise and humane
policy 70 have procured Judicial decision with regard to
ths oonsttuonalty Of the Conscripon act at early
ay and by summary process yet the failure TO do this
n degree jusies any violent opposition TO act OF
Congress Until aside by the decision Of judicial
tribunals it must be obeyed like any other act Of the
0tato national legislature.
The following rule Of duty in this respect laid
down In the farewell address of Andrew Jackson. This
view has always been accepted by the friends Of
Union and the upholders of our constitution
Unconstitutional or oppressive laws may doubt be
Dosed by Congress- either from views the
want Of due consideration. they reach OF judi
DIAL authority, the remedy and peaceful and
from Of the law abuse OF power not
within the control or the judiciary, then free discussion
and calm appeals 70 and TO the justice of the
PIE will not fail 70 redress the wrong But until the law
sail be declared void by the courts repealed by Con
Tees DO individual, or combination a individuals,
% juetaled In resisting its execution.
The aatagonistc doctrine that men may rightfully
siss hws opposed their ideas OF right duty has
not only led 70 great disorders and violence, but IL
sns OF the chief causes OF the destructive civil war
m hau aoind fha pf
Dssps. Disregard for the sacredness Of the con-
Ssstioo, for the majesty Of the a aud for the dec
Sons Of the judiciary at this time The greatest danger
whtOh threatens American liberty. This spirit Of dis
yalty must be put down. II 10 Inconsistent with social
csr and social security, destructive 70 the safety Of
DsoOs and property, and subvensve Of the liberty u
- citizen and the freedom Of the nation Those who
as that there designs in any quarter 70 overthrow
~ rights Of the citizen obsruct tho accustomed
administration OF laws or 10 usurp any power 10 vo
nasioa Of constitutional restraints, should bear In mind
yhAs al Of violence, all public disorders. pave the
way these very usurpatons and that they will be
sasdsd with satisfaction by those who for any may
vh destroy either te power rights or national
- Seaie governments.
IAs constitution and Of the State and nation
e0nlain ample remedies for all wrongs which may be
snnmed either by rulers citizsns, and those who
wh preserve their rights punish offenders, whe
ehss tn public in private life, should themselves care
fully perform their duty, abstain from all illegal acts,
ssosrousy support the government and then calmly and
sesolutey claim their rights. again repeat the warning
ascs gave you during the rotous proceedings Of the
- month that "he cny opposition 70 the conscrpt'on
which be alo~ed is an appeal 70 the courts. The
Siehs Of every citizen 70 make such appeal will be
nAiusained, and the decision OF the courts must
- respected and obeyed by rulers and people
alske. No other 10 consistent with the
1naintsnance Of the laws, the peace and order

Iotom proceedings must and shall be put down. The
ws o State Of New York be enforced liz peace
- order mantaned and the lives and property OF all
etssns protected any and every hazard Tbe rights

hereby admouish AL judicial and executive officers
wnoss duty enforce the law and preserve public
ssAsr that they take vigorous and effective 70
Dss down any riotous unlawful aseembages; and IL
y hnd their power insufficient for that purpose TO call
