The resolutions of nomination and in
dorsement, after refirming the princi-
Piles of their constitution, read as fol-
lows:
ORDER OF THE AMERICAN ALLIANCE, CONFER
ENcE OF GRAND COUNCIL, UNITED STATES.
PHILADELPHIA, July 4, 1876.
At conference of the grand council
of the United States of the American
Alliance, held at Philadelphia, July 4
and 5, 1876, the following resolutions
we're adopted, and the conference re-
commend all American born citizens,
without distinctions OF party, at the en-
suing national election, to cast their
votes in favor of American principles as
the only safety for the future welfare of
this country: * X
That the nomination of Rutherford
B. Hayes, of Ohio, for President of the
United States, and William A. Wheeler,
of New York, for Vice President, be
and the same are hereby indorsed by
the American Alliance Conference, and
we earnestly advise all who are in favor
of American principles as advocated and
set forth in these resolutions to give
these nominations an active and deter
mined support.
By order of American Alliance Con-
ference. L. S. TYLER,
Secretary.
Rutherford B. Hayes accepted this
nomination promptly and eagerly, and
reiterated his acceptance solemnly and
formally after he had been fully ac-
quainted with all the details of the Or
ganization, the constitution and the
oath. He formally accepted the honor
ary membership and is bound never to
support as a candidate nor appoint to
Office any foreign-born citizen, and to
labor so as to amend the naturalization
laws that only American citizens can
vote.
If Hayes be elected, and the princi-
Piles to which he is committed prevail,
through the influence of his admins
tration the foreign born citizens, al
though he may have come to our shores
when but one year old, can never vote
or participate in the affairs of govern
ment.
Can anything add more to the du-
plicity of Gov. Hayes? Elected to Of
flee by foreign voters, asking the suf
ferages of all, yet prosecuting all born
abroad; prohibiting them ever taking
part in the government of this country
or ever casting vote.

DEAR S1R-Governor Hayes desires
me to acknowledge receipt of your

lutions of the American Alliance, and

ticut in the approaching canvass is fully

ferences will be given you to commit
tees for such aid and cooperating as

fully, ALFRED E. LEE, Sec.
