Middletown transcript., 1870-05-21

Wnlch assembled at New Castle, on
Saturday last, was more laagely attended
than any which has convened for a num-
Der of years. 1t was addressed by NIessrs
Bayard, Whiteley and Barr.
The business committee reported the
following resolutions, which were unani-
mously adopted:
THE WHITE MANS PLATFORM.
Resoiped That as citizens of Republic, the
| government OF which, for the ends of civil and
religious liberty, is intended to be defined bv
written Constitution, we again meet to renew our
| unoroken allegiance TO the fundamental laws of
our State and Unon
Resoired That the alarming nrogr.se of &c
sumption of unlawful powers by the Congress of
the United States, to which an incompetent and
ignorant executive lends ready assent calls upon
the people OF the States in their primary meet
ngs TO assert the necessity for insisting that the
constitutional divisions and restrictions of now
er sh9uid ne respected by and obeyed by Rulers
and People alike.
Resoired, That for ourselves, and still more for
our posterity, we protest against the ,ciM corrup
ana ercess're grants of the public lands TO Rail-
road corporations; and denounce them as the be-
1rayals of trust, by the Congress of the United
States and the Executive.
hesoSced That we solemnly protest against the
system of lawless violence and fraud, under which
the Radical majority Of Congress has obtained
pretended ratification of the so-caled Fifteenth
Amendment to the Federal Constitution, and
caused the same falsely to be proclaimed as part
thereof; and relying upon the intelligence, cour-
age ana integrity of the American people, we will
await Inc time when its unlawfulness shall be
exposed-and its binding force annulled by the
voice OF the people and the Judiciary of the ma
ton. ''''
Resolrea, That at the ensuing nomination of our
rsrty,we cordially invite all lawful White Voters
Oh our county to participate; and hereby instruct
out vuuges OF election not to permit any negro or
mulatto to take any part therein
hesotued, That to the white races of America
belongs the future of America; that to the wis
oom OF the white men we owe our free institutions
and that by them they must be maintained and
lnat we invite all white men who are opposed TO
snaring with negroes the political power of our
country to unite with us in common effort for
our blood and kindred.
