end brutal aud bloody conspiracies
have been made to scoerce voters,
and base legislative conspiracies are
at this moment in operation in order
that an unprincipled and fraudulent
una jority may deprive properly cho.
sen officers Of their legal rights; and
as against these outrages we take an
app al to the people OF the nation.
Resolceh That The common safety
demands that our public schools
shall not only he free TO all, but shall
be preserved from all special or par~
tial control. All attempts to divide
the school fund, for any purpose
whatever, or TO divert any portion
of it into any channel not under
popular control, is to be frowned
upon and resisted with uuyiclding
iirmness The recent defeat in the
Democratic Legislature of Maryland
If n constitutional amendment to SO.
cure the common school fund of that
State against division. reveals at once
\ grave danger and its source, and
with other like facts make plain the
duty Of Congress to submit such an
amendment TO the Constitution OF
the United States as. when adopted,
will eilec,ually defend the Common
School system from all CneDIies,
