!. The freedom OF speech has been vio-
lated by the arrest and Imprisonment of n
number of persons, charged with no

utterance OF sentiments distasteful to
the men in power.
H. The freedom OF the press has been
subyerted by the suppression Of a num-
Der of newspapers.

garded in the arrest and incarceration
ola large number of persons denounced
by the parasites of the administration as

and imprisoned, or banished by military
orders or courts-martial

been taken from poor men by the Con-
scription act, which compels persons,

Stitution.
XIII. The heretofore undisputed right
OF the people to elect their legislatures
and rulers has been taken from them
and the will of majorities disreganled
as is abundantly manifested in the man
ner in which elections have recently
been carried by the grossest corruption
in Northern States, and by military or
Giers in the border States Of the South.
But that is by no means the worst
