oTHFg SPEECHES AND RESOLUTIONS.
Other speeches. indicative of the strong feeling
that exists against the action of the Governor and
Council, were made, after which letter
from Ex-Governor Anson p Morrill, was read.
Mr. Morrill,. says the Governor and Council now
await the consummation of this great crime on the
first Wednesday of January next, and adds:
The question arises: Are the consprators TO be permit
ted TO carry out this infamous scheme To Hs question
there should be but one nh asyS
ested in stamping out this latent treason.
Speeches were also made by Mayor Nash, Howard
Owen. the Rev. DIR. Butler III. NJ. Heath the Rev.
DR.. Kicker, j. Manchester Haynes and George
Weeks. Letters were read from ex-Secretary OF
State Gunner. J. Chadbourne and the Rev. DIR.
Quimby. The following resolutions were adopted :
Ffrst-That Republican form OF government requires
aud demands prompt and hearty submission 10 the Will
OF the majority as expressed at the polls
and any attempt TO tnwsrt this will. or deprive
the people of their choice. is crime against liberty
which, If success sfu, will undermine civil order corrupt
soc ety and lead TO bloodshed aud anarchy.
| Second-That Alonzo Garcelon, Governor OF Maine,
/ and the seven executive committees associated
with him have forfeited the confidence and earned
the condemnation OF the people OF this state by falsely
counting and falsely declaring the result OF tue recent
election and attempting to install the minority In power
over the majority. They have committed this crime
knowingly wifuy, deliberately, with light before their
eyes, and in defiance OF the remonsrances, evidence
and proofs submitted TO them by the aggreved and out
ragged parties.
Tird-That great crime OF this kind, attempted for
the first time in Maine, cannot carry with y
the authority of law. and inust not be permitted
| to achieve its wrongful and wicked design. We call
on ali good citizens unite with In ayertlng this
Threatened calamity, and make special and direct
appeal those who frflduently counted in
as Senators and Representatives not TO contamnate
their honor nor soil their consclences by ac,
cepting the wages OF sin. They, each and
ali, have 1t in their power to refuse to act
"a receivers OF stolen goods, and thus escape the
brand Of iniamy which surely awaits thieves.
