3. Resolved, That as the first fruits of this tri-
umph, the people demand the subordination of
military 70 civil rule; the restitution of the au-
thority Of the Courts and the recognition of the
equality OF the States; that We regard all offers
either by prolonging military rule or by den ying
the right of representation to States, in order TO
compel them TO adept equality or negro suffrage
as an element of their Constitutions as tending to
delay and prevent the paci6cstion of the country
and to subvert the principles OF the Government and
endanger the liberties of the people.

son for the speedy restoration of the States late
in rebellion to their old positions in the MON, by
commencing the work of Reorganization at the
point of secession. and con6ding to those then
recognized as electors by the laws Of the respec
tive States, leaving the question OF suffrage
where the Constitution places ii, TO the future
action ot the seyeral States, We recognize en-.
lightened craftsmanship, sound political theory

relations and rights of the States, aud the Fed
eral Government, as established by the Constitu-
ton; and that we pledge to the President in this
great work our cordial and energetic support.

fatal to the National prosperity and to the rights
Of labor. the doctrine that a National debt is a
National blessing. we recognize the obligation

We believe the interests and honor Of the people
are involved in its faithful fulfi nent and that all
constitutional and legal means should be taken
to eompeli the whole property of the country,
real and personal, to share in the public burden
believing equality of taxation is not only equal
but also the soundest possible basis OF public
credit

Government

ken by our Government in reference TO interfe
renee OF European powers with people of this

nor without danger TO democratic institutions.
T. Resolved, That tho frank and generous ac-
ceptance by the Southern people of the condition
in which they have been left BY the recent war

Federal Government in spirit OF Cancellation
and kindness
