Messrs- Johnston and Eoote gave motto

= And Whereas, Thu Governor of this Stat,
j ha-, UNI cover If sail constitutional pro
vision, aud animaJcd BY a spirit OF enmity
tlch 80 ms to have - springs in the hate
r ~ngendered by War, sent 10 this BODY ;
communication intended as campaigr
document, IN, and By. which II Is insipuated
If not charged, that the new members OF
; shis oody were returned oy fraud and vio-
lence. And,
Where's, This charge comes from hioh
official source, and is, therefore, calculated
as 1t was Intended, TO force upon the govern
ment and people OF the United States the
belief that the recent election in this Stare
was conducted in a spirit which denied the
! rights guaranteed by constitutional and
legal provision to the colored race. and is
measure at least, that good feeling which
! after long period of bitterness, has lately
been rc-established between the people Of
the Northern and Southern sections of the
| country. And,
Whereas, 1t is obvious the Governor of
this State has omitted the duty imposed
upon him, as aforesaid, "of giving the Leg
lslature information of the state of the GOV
eminent" and thus exposing the enormous
expressions, complaints and extravaganccs
ofthe government in the last two years, and
has, for political effect, made an asxanlt
upon the people of this State (who are now
IN state OF profound peace and upon their
representatives, fairly chosen to this Teois
lature, and has charged the white peOnIe
with fomenting discord and practicing yio-
olence and intimidation. And.
Whereas, Tie Governor has fins diso;-
pated the hopes with which this body as
sembled, namely: The hopes that his Ex-
cellehcy would cooperate with the TeUis |
lature in cementing the good FEELING and |
peaceful relations between tie two races |
when Cad ana designing men have of late |
Oeen trying to destroy. and the hone thar
his EXcellency would rise above the bitter
feeling engendered by the failure of his
plans ana aspirations and endeavOr to re-
main with us in peaceful relations and
labor with US for the common good. Now.
therefore, be it w.
Resolved by the Senate. the Houso Of
representatives concurring, That we deem
IL our DUTY TO the people of Mississippi and
speaking 1or them, to repel said CHARGES and
lnslnuations, and to declare solemnlv to the
government and people of the Union.
