Mr.. Presidcn: Your Committee of
Resolutions report the following:
Resolred, That the Democracy Of
Wala Walla now, as in the past, stand by
the Constitution as framed by the fathers
of the Republic, and are opposed to all SO.
called Amendments, and more especially
to the proposed Fifteenth Amendment,
which in effect takes from the States and
Territories all control over their domestic
affairs, and substitutes in place Of Re-
publican form of Government, n centralized
despotism.
Resolrcd, That the action Of Congress
in denying the State Of Georgia represen-
tation until such timo as she shall have
adopted the Fifteenth Amendment and
given to her negro population the right to
hold Office, is fragrant violation Of the
rights Of the States, and as such merits
the seycrest condemnation Of every friend
of free government.
Resolved, That We are opposed to all
distinctions between men Of the same
race, and are in favor of one currency for
the people, and the same currency for
the bondholder and that where it is not
otherwise specified, the debts of the gov
crnmont should he paid in currency.
Resolved, That we are in favor of
economy in Federal Territorial and
County affairs, and that We point with
pride to the fact that under Democratic
management the debt Of our county has
been extiuguished, and the means pro-
vided to meet every dollar Of her indebt-
cdness as it becomes due.
Rcsolred, That the action of the Legis-
ture in securing majority in both houses
by the most unblushing corruption, and
stopping to bribery in order to carry out
their ends meets our heartiest condemna-
ton. and we call upon our fellow citizens
throughout tho Territory, to see to it, that
the parties to this bribery aud corruption
are forever banished from the places they
disgrace.
Resolved That the action Of the Demo-
cratic members of the Legislature in sus-
tanning the vetoes Of Governor Flanders,
and thereby arresting corrupt and swind-
lngs legislation, meets our heartiest COM
mendat on.
Resolved, That We recommend it to our
Democratic fellow citizens throughout the
Territory to organize their respective
counties and by united action be prepared
at the coming June election to redeem
Washington Territory from the disgrace ol
radical rule.
