people, in the exercise of their power through
the ballot box TO arrest the the mad career OF the
gress, under the domination of majority of
men lately in arms against the govern nment,
and now plotting to regain, through the power
of legislation, the cause which they lost in the
field, namely, the establishment of Stale SOW

committed itself to an attempt to break up the
government, by refusing to appropriate to their
legitimate objects the public moneys already
collected from the people, unless the Executive
shall give his official signature to measures

"Reselued. That the Democratic Legislature
of Ohio, going on from bad to worse-from

resulting in scandals unnumbered, and mis-
chiefs unmeasured, to outrageous attempts to
revise and reverse the will Of the people, as
declared by their suffrages, foisting upon them
by legislative usurpation defeated candidates
for local offices, in place of those duly elected
| by lawful and unquestioned ballots cast in the
interest of honest and decent home govern
