that profound peace prevails through
out tho State; that the course of ju
dical proceedings is ohstructed bv no
com binatiOn of citizens thereof, aEd that
the laws for the protection of the inhabi-
tants in all their rights of person, property
and citizenship, are being enforced in our
courte, while the people If this State are
not wanting either in the spirit or means to
MAINTAIN their rights of citizenship against

supreme judicial authority of the State.
They have such faith in the justice of their
cause that they propose to leave it's vindica-
ton to the proper legal tribunals, appeal
ing ct tho same time to the patriotism and
public sentiment of the whole coun-
try. Tho ipAammatory utterances Of

the existing political problems that in
volve the exhibition OF armed force, or
that move through sry other channel than
the prescribed form Of the constitution or
