domain shall be scrupulously reserved Tor oc-
cupancy by actual settlers.
Ninth-The determination of the govern
ment to collect the revenue, and prevent and
punish frauds, has our unqualified approval.
Tenth-That the power of municipal corpo-
rations to create debts should be restricted,
and local and other expenditures should be so
reduced as to diminish taxation.
Eleventh-The observance of Washington's
example, in retiring at the close of second
Presidential term, will be in the future, as it
has been in the past, regarded as a fundamen-
tai rule in the unwrittenla law of the republic.
Twelfth-The distinguished success of his
administration, which, to the fame of the pa
triot and soldier has added that of the capa-
ble and judicious statesman, entities President
Grant to the gratitude OF his countrymen.
