THE .sUNTERRIFIED."

The Old Poison Still In Their Veins - The
Teachings of the Past Ten Years Lost on
Them.
A meeting of the Democratic City Execu-
tive Committee was held yesterday afternoon
at 2 o'clock, at the Wetherill House, SAMSON
street, above Sixth. Isaac Leech, Esq, pre-
sided, and Eugene Woodward and A. A.
Laws acted as secretaries. Mr.. j. X. Chad
wick. chairman of the special committee to
whom was referred the question of negro suf-
frape, made report, which, on motion, was
unanimously adopted by the general COM
mittee.
The report set forth that the Constitution
of the United States was ordained to be the
basis of the system of representative demo-
cracy, by which the sovereignty of the States
could only be maintained, the Federal Gov
eminent established, and the union of these
States preserved; that the Democratic party
was created to proclaim and defend this sys-
tenn, and had given to the people, for over
half century, constitutional government;
but through division of that party, the enc
mics of the Constitution IA minority OF the
people, gained the political power In the
Government and began scheme to esta-
blish themselves as the Government, in de-
fiance of the Constitution of the United
States-that since 1860 to the present hour,
the enemies of the Constitution in Congress
and the State Legislatures have by frauds,
crimes, force, and violence, in utter disregard
Of the Constitution of the United States,
subverted the rights of the people and
the citizen, and are maintaining the power thus
gained by force of arms; that dreaaing retri
butive Justice, they have undertaken to justify
their acts by pretenced amendment to the
Constitution = that the Democratic party
relvine on the power of the people, does nov
nroclaim that these so-called amendments Il
The Constitution are unconstitutional, void
and of no effect, because they are Congres
sional usurpations consummated by fraud
Soroa and violence in open defiance to tn
Law and not such amendments to the Const
tnsion as that instrument itself permits
hacsnse thew were never submitted to nc

governments, but we're forced upon q subju-
gated people by military despotism. The
report then continues.a-F m rrr =
That on behalf Of the Democratic party of
the city of Philadelphia the City Executive
Committee hereby protests against the frauds,
violence, usurpations, and revolutionary acts
Of Congress in forcing its usurpations, under
the name of the so-called amendments of the
Constitution, on the people of the United
States.
That the committee hereby protest against
the acts of Congress whereby the Federal
judiciary has been corrupted, overawed, and
subjugated to obey the direction of this legis-
lative branch of the Government, the better
to enable it to destroy the Constitution of the
Fathers of the republic and to establish a
despotism in its place.
That the committee proclaims its abhor-
renee of the fraud, force, and violence by
which Congress is usurping all the powers of
the Government; and 1t deplores the weak
ness, folly, and Incompetence of him who
now occupies the Executive Mansion, where
Washington watched over the first expert
ment of constitutional government; where
Jefferson proclaimed the true principles by
which it could be successfully administered,
and where jackson protected both the Con-
stitutlon and the union of the States-a
union the Constitution only could create
by his patriotism and his frmness.
That, as the enemies of the Constitution,
having failed to ''restore the Union, re-esta-
blish the Government, and give the people
peace, now declare that they are unequal to
the task and seek to bring to their aid an ally
which the Democratic party does not court,
race, which is only to be, in fact, the instru-
ment by which the enemies of the Constitu-
ton can maintain power at the sacrifice of
the constitutional Government established by
the fathers, the Democratic party ask the
governing or white race in the United States
to save itself from the debasement of being
ruled by the negro and thus forced to live
under system of government which Poland,
Greece, Ireland and Cuba would reject.
