made to confer the right Of suffrage upol
the negrees 10 an inaidunas attempt +
Ioverthrow popular institutions by bring

Rssolred, The Federal government does
not possess, nor can il safely exercise, tbs
power to exemps the property OF any cit.

tenn, our labor system, onr educational
system. our election sYstem, nor our mi

true Of every other State without excep-
ton.
Resolrs !, Tint. in view Of our enor
as NATIONAL debt, and the great weight
Of taxation, economy aud retrenehmeni
become importast duties OF all our sep,
rssentatives; and TO this end, the vast
standing army now on foct ought to be
dishandsd, and negro troops dismissed
forever; the navy should BE- reduced to
minimum; the provost marshal system and
free negro bureau should be abandoned;
and the multitude of needless officers,
and corrupt aud extravagant practices,
lately introduced into administration,
should be totally abolished.
Resolre3. That freedom of apr eeh. OF
the press. and of elections. habeas corpas,
and trial by jury, are the hirthright Of all
American citizens, guaranteed By both
Federal and State constitutions, and oh
noxious to tyrantsss only; and She Amer

eitizeas To meet With the most determined
resistance.
Resolred, That we blush TO be CON.
RELIED TO acknowledge that, among th'
/ Governors of all the States, since 1860
not one has been found With honest nan,
hood enough to shield with State protec
tion, a single victim OF political intoler'
anee. among the thousands who hare suf
tfered inhuman outrage from lawless Fed
pral power: while many such Governor
have, at Federal dictation, become th,
kidnappers Of their own innoeont eenstit

anteeedents and personal qualities 0

4 Rssoles.l, That, whatever may hav
