promote q very desirable end by
most proper and effectual means,
The resolutions upon the public
school question and third term are
as follows:
Resolved, That our inestimable
system of common schools and ouI
valuable scheme of religious tolera
ton are the workmanship of Demo
cratic hands and the fruit OF Demo
cratic policy; that it is the exclus
i've right and duty of The State tc
provide for the education of its
children that it is the inalienable
right of every citizen to worship
God according to the dictates OF
his OVID conscience, and no political
disabilities should be incurred b.
reason of religious belief; and while
we will defend these principles to
the fullest extent, we deprecate any
attempts to raise sectarian iSSue5 III
politics, as utterly uncalled for and
reprehensili!e, and meriting the EN-
phatic condemnation Of every good
citizen.
Resolved, That while the illustri'
Gus examples and The spirit of oul
Institutions are alike opposed to q
third presidential term, the present
Chief Executive, by using the great
trusts incident to his Office for per
sonal and family ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
by infiaming sectarian anlmosity
and Ivy Interfering with the course
of public justice towards defrauders
