| By Mr. Fewell-A concurrent resolution ::
Whereas, 1t is provided bv the Constitu-
ton of the State that the Governor ''shall,
from time to time, give the Legislature IN
| formation of the state of the government,
and recommend to their consideration such
measures as he may deem necessary or eX-
pedient.
And Whereas, The Governor of this State
has. under cover of said constitutional pro-
vision, and animated by spirit OF enmlty
which seems to have its springs III the nate
engendered by war, sent to this BODY a
communication intended as campaign
document, in, and by, which it is insinuated,
if not charged, that the new members OF
, this body were returned by fraud and VIC
lence. And,
Whereas. This charge comes from high
: official source and is, therefore, calculated
as it was intended, to force upon the govern
ment and people of the United States the
belief that the recent election in this State
was conducted in a spirit which denied the
: rights guaranteed by constitutional ano
. legal provision to the colored race, ana Is
further calculated to destroy, IN some
! measure at least, that good feeling which
after a long period OF bitterness, has lately
been rc-established between the people o.
@ the Northern and Southern sections OF the
!. country. And,
1 Whereas. 1t is obvious the Governor Of
this State has omitted the duty imposed
= uDon him, as aforesaid, ''of giving the Leg
islature information of the state OF the gov
eminent" and thus exposing the enormou
concessions, complaints and extravaganza
off fine government in the last two years, an
oil eff
uDOn the people OF this State (Who are no.
in a state of profound peace and upon thel
i representatives, fairly chosen to this Legs
y Iature, and has charged the white people
l. with fomenting discord and practlclng Vlo
s, olence and intimidation. And,
Whereas, The Governor has thus dlssi
mated the hopes with which this body as
:. sembled, namely: The hopes that his EH
- cellency would cooperate with the Legs
lature in cementing the good feeling an
:. peaceful relations between the two race
which lad and designing men have or lat
1r been TRYING to destroy, and the hope tn
le his Excellency would rise above the bite
feeling engendered by the failure OF III
+ plans and aspirations and endeavor 10 IL
+ main with US in peaceful relations, an
labor with us for the common good. Nov
a therefore, be it
