sind reafiirming the portion OF the ConseS'
sa,ive platform that they wiz judge 1t lm'
Partially by is official actss etc; that the
Legislature rtc6gnizfs chs fourteenth
amendment of the federal constitution as
aart of that instrument, and desires in good
Faith TO abide by its provisions as expounded
Nv the Supreme Court of the United Statess
and the amendment thus construed Is the
suprene law of the land, and should be
ebeyed and respected by all coordinate de-
psrtments of the government; that the
aiIl now before Congress known as the
Sivil rights bill is i'll violation OF shis
Amendment as interpreted By che SD
oreme Court. is an Infringement on
the constitutional and legislative
powers of State, is sectional IN
sts operation and injurious alike to the
white and colored population OF the south
srn States, and that its enforced appIlca'
Zion in these States will prove destructive
of their systems of education, arrest the
enlightenment of the colOred population,
On whose improvement the people OF 'lr-
&inia feel a lively interest, will produce
continued irritation between the races,
Counteract the pacifcat'O on and develop
ment now happily progressing, repel lmml'
Grafton, reopen wounds now almost healed,
and paralyze the power and influence OF
Che State government controlling ana pro-
enoting domestic interests and preserving
internal harmony. That the people OF VIZ
ginia and it's Legislature earnestly protest
against the bill and instruct their Senators
and request their Representatives In Con
gress firmly but respectfully to oppose It's
passage, not only for the reasons expressed,
but as measure which is calculated to
arrest growing sentiments of concord and
harmony between the Northern and South
@rn States.
