By Mr.. Buell., of Middletown, that tn
continued and recent outrages, with thei
attendant circumstances, IN several of TIN
southern states of the Union, upon TN
peaceable and lawabiding citizens by so
called "whnte leagues" and their abettors
clearly show that the anti-republican idea
upon which the late rebellion was founde,
are not yet eradicated and that it is tn
evident intention of the great body O
those lately engaged in hostlities agains
their country, and their sympathizers, t.
render nugatory the thirteenth, fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments of the constitu
ticn of the United States.
That it is the duty of the executive dc
partment OF the government, and OF Con
gress, to take efficient measures to protec
and'defend all citizens in the full and pei
feet enjoyment of that liberty secured b.
: the thirteenth amendment, that equality o
civil rights secured by the I urteent
amendment, and that free enjoyment o
the suffrage secured by the tifteent
amendment, aforesaid, without regard t
the lace, color or previous condition o
servitude of any such citizen.
That the enforcement and protection O
those sacred constitutional rights canno
be safely entrusted to those who oppose
i their adoption, or who now oppose them
, their national execution, or the great prir
,, cipes of justice and equality on which the
: rest.
