9. That we regard the recent effort OF
President Grant to ennex ST. Domingo
and here by confer on its ignorant and
semi-barharous population the rights OF
American Citizenship on the terms of E.
quality with ourselves, as fraudulent and
tisgrantly corrupt and we accept the is

submitting the question to the decision
of the people.
10. That we unqualife6ly condemn
| the action X of the present admin
istration in go re-organizuing the Sup

will practically the law of the land, and
it's unconstitutional and dangerous acts
known as the Ku-KluX and Force bills
which give to the President in times OF
peace power to render the civil authori-
ties subservient to the military, by sus-
| pending the sacred writ of habeas corpus
and quartcrlng standing armies in the
States among the people.
IL That the manifest tyranny of the
Administration in refusing amnesty to a
large portion OF the people OF the South
ern States, whilst it taxes them for the
support of O. Government that Expresses
them, and refuscsn them any partici-
patton IN its administration, prevents
that harmony aud fraternity that are es-
sential to our Federal Union, tends to
revive the spirit of the civil war and
should be rebukedby all patriots AMI
friends ola christian civilization
II. That we deplore the humiliation
which the contracted and selfish spirit OF
President Grant has brought upon the
honor and dignity of the Republic by ap-
pointing to places of power his relatives
and those who contributed to him money
and property, without regard to their
intellectual attainments or other qualti-
cations, and by the general reputation
for ~"jobbbery" and corruption of his adj
ministration.
IS. That We cordially approve the &C
| ton of our Democratic Senator and Re-
presentives in Congress from Ohio s-
p~ecially their support of the amnesty
bill and the measures taking off the du-
| ties on salt, coal, tea and eo6ioe, and
their opposition to the act known AS the
as the Ku-Klux bill, and others Of d
kindred character.
