partial Justice and equal rights, and they are
received back into the communion of the
loyal people; and that we are in favor of the
removal of the disquahtications and restric-

removed from them, and as speedily as may
be consistent with the safety of the loyal
people.

principles laid down in the Declaration OF
Independence as the true foundation OF
democratic government, and we hail with
