MACE and position, have 0bstructed all ell
fort TO promote purity and conserve the
freedom OF suffrage, and have devised 1rau-
duIent certifcations and returns. They
have Iabored to unseat lawfulIy-elected
members of Congress to secure at all
hazqrds the vote of a majority OF the states IN
the House OF Representatives. They have
endeayored TO occupy by force and fraud tne
places OF trust given to others by the people
OF Maine, and which was resented by the
courage and action OF Names patriotic sense.
They have attached partisan legislation
TO appropriation bills, upon whose move
ments the very movements oil the Govern
ment depend. They have crushed the rights
OF individuals and advocated the principle
of the South In favor OF rebellion against
the nation and endeavored to obIlterate the
sacred memories OF war and overcome It's
inestimabe valuable results OF nation
ality. Personal freedom and individual
Qualities, an equal enforcement OF law
and the protection OF all citizens in
the enj oyment OF all privileges and immu-
mites guaranteed by the Constitution, are
the first duties Of the nation. The dangers
of solid South can only be ayerted by q
faithful performance OF every promise when
the nation has made to her citizens. me
execution OF the laws and the punishment
OF all those who violate them are the only
safe methods with which enduring peace
can be secured and genuine prosperity
established throughout the South. The SOLID
South must be divided by the prescribed
agencies OF the ballot, and opinions must
there find free expression; and to this end
honest voters must be projected against ter
rorism, violence, and fraud.
Mr.. Creswell, of Maryland, moved re-
cess until 7 =. NJ, which WAS adopted.
