q, 2. That political power cannot be exer :
cised in harmony by two distinct races
that we are opposed to the extension of the
right of suffrage to the negro; that we de :
nounce and oppose the proposed amend4
lment to the Constitution of the State, and
do most heartily approve of the following
views of Stephen A. Douglas, as follows:
II hold that this Government was made
on the white basis, by white men, for the
benefit of white men and their oposterity
forever, and should be administered by
white men, and none others. do not be-
Iieve that the Almighty made the negro
capable of fself-government."
8. That we also fully indorse and approve
the following views of Abraham Lincoln,
expressed bv him at Charleston, Illinois,
S.ptember 1S, 1858, viz:
81 will Eay, Il en-, that am not, nor eve
have been III favor vi making voters or Ju-
rors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to
hold office, nor to intermarry with white
people; and / will say in addition to this,
that there is physical difference between
the white and black races, which believe
will forever prohibit the two races from
frrF of
equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so
live, while they do remain together there
must be the position of superior and infe-
rior, and 1, as much as any other man, am
in favor of having the superior position as
signed to the white race"
q. That we are in favor of just and equal
taxation. That every species of property

gal tender notes. -
