mined to rule the Country in violation of
the Constitution aud TO establish their
wild aud f,natical will, as q substitute for
the Union framed by the fathers Of the
Republic.
I'd. Resolred, That the only way in
which peace and concord can be re-estab-
lishrd is by conforming TO the require.
mrnts of the Constitution and defeating
the Radical party, who spurn its provis-
ions and impciil the UGon by their mad
and sediious course.
Sd. Rcsolccd, That to effect this object
We solemnIy pledge our most untiring ef-
forts; that the accomplishment of this
end is the grand question now pending,
trauscendng all others in Importance, and
that tho present imminent perils of the
country demand the union oe all conserva.
tive he arts and hands, irrespective of for
mcr or present party names, in "a vigorous
effort to maintain the Federal Constitution
in its integrity and secure its operation
according to the spirit and intent of its
founders.
4th Reso1red, That tho Radical plan
of dcpriving n portion Of the United States
of those rights always possessed by them
since the day of l776--of enfranchising
their people, is so absolutely opposed, not
only to the dearest provisions Of the Fed
pral Constitution, but to every sound idea
of pracica! craftsmanship, is SO thorough
~ antagouistic to those principles of re-
served rights and Of municipal govern.
mrnts regulating their own domestic af-
fairs, that underlies our republican system.
that it is the duty Of the people Of Wash
ing,on Territory, regardless of past poiti.
cal divisions, to pronounce their cond"m-
nation of the Radical party by electing
men who love, and are determined to pre-
serve, the American Constitution and the
American Union.
5h. Rcsoired, That while that portion
of tho Representatives of the States Of this
Union, who exclude from tho Legislative
halls the representatives of ten States, are
laboring to subvert our Government. I'VE re-
joice in the fact that the Supreme Court Of
tho United States. by its recent decisions
in favor Of the rights Of American citizens,
has proved that that august tribunal will
perform without fear or favor its high and
solemn duties.
9th. Resolrcd, That our cordial thanks
are due and are hereby rendered TO Presi-
dent Johnson for his constitutions efforts
resisting unauthorized legislation and ad.
vocating the rights of all the States to
their Congressional representation. and
that we will unitcdly sustain him in these
his just and patriotic acts. .r
| 7lh. Resoircd, That we ore uncondi
tionally opposed to the late law Of Con.
grcss, called the Reconstruction Bill, and
the supplement thereto. believing that the
intention and tendency Of such Legislation
is to make the whole civil power Of the
United States subordinate 10 the military
contrary to the trne intent, spirit and
mraning Of the Cons tuition.
