Wilmington daily commercial., 1874-08-28

to her most mertorious and suffering
citizens by the selection and retention in office,
all over the country, of men notoriousy dishon-
est, corrupt and unworthyi by allowing the low
est and most virulent partizanship to control ap-
pointments to the highest Offices; by refusal to
punish dishonesty in office where exposed; by
issuing and maintaining an Unconstitutional cur
rency without intrinsic value, whose fluctuations
are the constant profit of specuators at the cost
of l6boring classes, and which demoralizes and
unsettes commerce in all its branches.
RESOLVED That the lamentable condition of
the States of South Carolina Mississippi and
Louisiana continue to excite our kindest and
strongest sympathies for the men of our own
race. who, by the lawless exercise of armed
Federal power, are placed and kept under the
CALLING rule of ignorance and crime and we
fervently hope that an awakening sense OF the
whole people of the Union may soon relieve
these evils of Radicalism and negro Government.
Resolred That we denounce the wild, cruel
and reckless measure called the Civil Rights
Bill as grossly violative of the letter and spirit
of the Federal and State Constitutions. and only
calculated to SOW new seeds OF discord between
the States and people that it is an undisgused
attempt to enforce a social equality between
negroes and white people, and 70 encourage, if
rot compel, an intermingling of those races
whose essential differences have been marked
and established by Almighty God
Resolued That the course of Honorable Jas.
r. I.oiand, as q Representative In Congress
from this State, in relation to this Civil Rights
Bill has beenin defiance OF the intelligence and
decency of the entire community, and deserves
and will receive the scorn and opposition of any
right-thinking inhabitant of Delaware.
Resolued, That the act passed at the last ses-
sion of Congress, enlarging the Jurisdiction of
the Federal Courts of the District of Columbia,
is base attempt to muzzle the public press, and
to shield the corrupt and INSCRIPTIONS officers
of the Government from Just criticism.
Resolued, That we contemplate with just pride
| the national reputation and commanding rank
and influence won for our State in the Senate OF
the United States, and thatwe hereby extend our
grateful thanks to our faithful Senators, Hons.
| T. II. Bayard and Eli Saulsbury for their con-
slant opposition to the infamous Civil Rights Bill,
| and every other pernicious and tyrannical Radi-
| cal measure and for their manly defence of Con-
stitutional Government, the freedom of the
press, the cause of the oppressed and the rights
| and honor of their race and native State.
Resolred, That wo cordially invite all honest
citizena to unite with lib in the election OF the
worthy candidates whom we this day present for
their suifrages, believing that good private and
public character are insepaTable, and that Just,
| economical and honest rule can only be expect
| ed from those whose private lives have given
such assurance.
