WASHINGTON, May 21,-In consequence
OF the organization of secret league in
Dakota in the interest of the division of the
territory and the admission of the southern
part as state, Mr.. A. Boynton has issued
the following appeal:
10 the Citizens of Dakota: It was resolved
Dy the recent reassembled so-called constitu-
nonal convention at Sioux Falls to set I'D a.
state government in South Dakota independ-
ent OF the national territorial gov
eminent. 1t was resolved by
this revolutionary body to organize
pohtlcal league to control the conventions
OF both political parties, and these reyolu-
tionary leaders, alarmed at the apathy of
thelf followers, have adopted the New Or
ieans w mite plan, to bind an unwilling people
10 tnelr unauthorized compact, and thus
force an enormous increase of taxation
upon tne people to pay innumerable so-called
state and county officers, who are not and
cannot be legally installed without
proper authority from congress and the
president. is notorious that the
White leagues organized in the South
ana the knownothing lodges started in the
North, to ostracise the foreign-born popula-
ton, are odious all over the country to such
an extent that all political organizations re-
quiring pledges to bind
ihE DALLOIS OE ClTIZENS
TO carry out the schemes of self-constituted
leaders are admitted to be in direct conflict
WIN true democracy or genuine Republican,
lsm 1t is, therefore, necessary to keep it be-
fore the people that the leaders of the Huron
Sioux Falls compact, which they now demand
both parties shall bind themselves to, has Sc
cured the defeat in congress of large num-
Der OF bills authorizing the people of Dakota
to lawfully elect delegates and hold conyen-
lions to determine the form of
government which majority desire,
and that there is now pending an
enabling act which could be enacted into law
within thirty days if the leaders in the double
headed statehood league would cease their
opposition to its passage. 1t should also be
kept before the people that the early unau-
shorlzed state government set up in the ter
rtory OF Colorado never secured recognition
from congress, and that the leaders in that
PREMATURE AND ILL-ADVISED
movement were completely shelved when
Colorado was finally admitted under an en-
abl1ng act similar to the one now before con-
gress under which Dakota can obtain early
admission.
With these facts before them let
every Union soldier reject Campbells
Whlte league pledges; let every
forelgn-born citizen hold as enemies the pro-
motors of these political leagues, from which
they and their fathers have suffered.
Let all humane, philanthropic and
reformatory organizations, requiring
pledges to hold the weak and the
Maynard from going astrayyset their faces
against the use of their organization for poll
tlcal and partisan purposes. Finally, let the
masses of the people in the whole territory
shake off the shackes with which they
gave already been bound, and all true Demo
Gratis and patriotic Republicans unite in lay
ing the foundatlo ms Of state government in
lawful, open and patriotic manner
