Resolved, That we condemn the act
OF the Republican Congress Of 1873,
whereby the old silver dollar was de-
monetized, to be a violation OF the sacred
obligation OF contracts which ex-
listed between the people and
the National creditor, and mas
much as it defrauds the people Of
large portion Of their legal available
wealth whereby the national debt may
be paid. we demand that the law
shall be reinstated, and the old silver
dollar made q legal tender for all
debts.
Whereas, A bar or final settlement
Of all claims, damages or indemnities
held by the late Confederate states Is

any State shall assume or pay any debt
or obligation in aid OF insprrectlon or
rebellion against the United States, or
any claim Tor the loss Of emancipation
OF any slaves, but all such debts, obllga-
tons and claims, shall be held illegal
and void.
Whereas, 1t is asserted by tho Re.
publican press and politicians that GER
tain bills are being presented and will
hereafter be presented before the Con-
gress of the United States for the pur-
pose Of securing indemnities, i'll viola
tiOn OF said article and section OF the
Constitution.
Resolved, That 1t be the duty OF our
delegates in Congress to apply to all

sented, the foregoing article and section
of the Constitution in their broaGest
