Resolved That we condemn ai Interior
ence with the constitutional amendments.
and all violations OF law, holding that the
people in all the States, alike regardless OF
race, color, or condition, are entitled to
equal protection, and that all orders, prac-
tees, and opinions, whereby the public
order and peace are disturbed, should re-
ceiye public rebuke and punishment ac-
cording to the offence committed. We re-
commend that the people OF our State at the
coming election do appear and ratify the
two proposed constitutional amendments as
being well-deyised means for securing
henceforth more economical and efficient
administration OF the prisons and canals OF
the State, ard for enforcing upon the Off
GERS charged with their management strict
accountability to the people; and we favor
such a reduction OF tolls upon and an eco
nomical management Of the canals as will
best subserye the interest Of the State and
j OF the men engaged in canal traffic.
+. Resolved, That we, as American citizens
and Democrats, devoted to the Union and
equality of the States and to the honor and
rood name Of the Federal Government,
hereby enter our solemn protest against the
recent order of the Secretary OF War, APP
proved by the President OF the United States,
to ylace Government troops In the southern
States with view to intimidate the people
and to control their elections. A Govern
.ment bv the bayonet, to take the place OF a
Government through the ballot, is an out
rage which demands the condemnation OF
ali who love republican freedom and hate
despotic power. a:..,ssf .s3e.st
