Whereas, The only foundation for such assump-

bilious, unprincipled and INSCRIPTIONS political
adventures, who had long since forfeited The con-
fdence and lost the support of the people, and who
have been denounced in nearly every Republican
organization throughout the city and State, did
by their unwarranted and tyrannical abuse of the
powers delegated to them by the law, arrogate to
themselves the right to exclude from the bulding
appointed by one of their number as the place of
holding the convention, not only the representa-

triumphantly elected, but the people themselves;
