conferred both by the national and State au.
thority, thus preventing results expressive Of
their will in the administration of public af.
fairs. Such proceedings will be further de-
precated, because they indicate, that pacifca-
ton of the South is not yet onplete, and be.
cause they cast reproach upon and endang ger
the integrity of free Institutions The sub.
ject will be earnestly presented to the consid.
Grafton of Congress for such, action as the cir
cumstances demand, with a view to prevent
ing the recurrence Of such wrongs, and to sc.
cure the absolute exercise Of the right Of suf:
rage.
