ful authority and Independence TO the eX-
eculive and Judiciary, the subordinatiOn Of
military power, to the end that the usnrpa-
lions Of Congress and the despOtism Of the
sword may loose the equal rights and pro-
lection for naturaIized and native born
citizens at home and abroad, and an assO-
citation Of American nationality which

ers and furnish an example and an en-
couragement TO people struggling for ma
tional integrity and constitutional liberty.
Separate resolutions are devoted 10 lhanks
to soldiers and to President Johnson.
Fears we're expressed yesterday, and by
anti-Pendleton men, that the Southern
delegates would be persuaded 10 vote solid
for Pendleton, thus securing his nOmina-
ton. Without the Southern support Pen
dleton will have about 10 votes, though ]
his friends claim more.
Hendricks, of Indiana, il the second /
choice Of majority Of the delegates.
