any other test would be unwise and anti
Republican in its character; and that we
I will not encourage any expressions or con-
duct calculated or intended to excite one
portion of our people against another. on
account of nativity or color. Every citizen
of thesState who is loyal. and whose devo-
ton to the nation is paramount, is entitled,
so far as the reconstruction acts will permit,
to the support of Republicans for places of
honor and trust; and we would profoundly
deprecate any steps that would array race
against race, our adopted fellow-citizens
against natives, or the latter against our
adopted fellow citizens. 81. ~
5. Resolped, That we earnestly appeal to
our Republican fellow-citzens throughout
the State to preserve their organization, and
to be diligent, Jealous and active in the
great work of demonstrating and restoring
the State to the Union on a loyal basis.
6. Resoloed, That the whole question of
reconstruction, including confiscation and re-
lief from political disabilities, is in the hands
of wise and patriotic Congress; that we
have full confidence in that body, and be-
leve that, in all respects, it will do what is
best for our people and for the preservation
of American liberty.
Z, Resolred. That in the opinion of this
In uicb >f
or of the Republican party that private
property should be confiscated for political
offences; but that, to avert such result in
the future, as well as to secure to our people
the innumerable benefits and blessings of the
Union, it is highly important that they
avail themselves promptly and in good
faith of the reconstruction acts of Congress.
And further, that in the opinion of this
Committee, it is not the purpose of Congress
to continue beyond Il safe and proper period
the disabilities unavoidably imposed on 10y
al Union men, but that it is believed such
disabilities should be and will be removed in
due time, from all who may be clearly and
Enthusiastically shown to possess the confidence
of the Republican party of the State.
On motion, the Committee adjourned, sub
