the following unanimously:

POTTER'S RESOLUTION.
TO TILDEN AND DENOUNCED
As REVOLUTIONARY.
Threat Of a United North. Under the Cry
of "RevOlntIOn, to Oppose the Inves-
tiKMti0M of the EsectlNn Frauds.

New YORK, May 1s-The Herald says: No
Intelligent man of either party can longer
doubt that this whole batch Of incendiary at
tempts. the Blair memorial. the Kimmell bill,
the secret Florida investigation and the Pot
were instigated by Mr. Tilden. He never did
anything more characteristic of his still hunt
methods.
This astrte and secretive plotter. who mis-
takes cunning for wisdom is no doubt sin
cere in thinking that he has been defrauded OF
an office to which he was elected by the peo-
pie and probably iustfies himself in the
underhand attempts he is making to shake
the stability of the government. imperil the
tranquility and disturb the business of the
country; but neither his aim nor his methods
will be indorsed by the public sentiment oi
the country. Against the cry of fraud, the
the Republicans raise the cry of revolution
and they will unite the whole North once
more In their support.
