between the rights of one religious or
political organization TO the prejudice
of another.
Resolved, That we utterly repudiste
the sophistry and superficial pleadiEgs
published in said order for its justifics-

whence it emansted, as in direct oppOsi-
ton to the great American doctrine of
liberty for all.
Resolved, That we care nothing for
the religious or political prejudlces that
may underlie the differences among our
foreign born citizens, but We deprecate |
any restriction of the rights of one class
more than of another, and equal rights |
and privileges viii and shall be granted to |
all foreigners alike without regard to their
voting power.
Resolved, That the thanks of this |

10 Gov. Hoffman for the prompt manner
IN which he has relieved the Empire City |
