HARRISON. SOUND DOCTRINE EX-
PRESSED.

At the meeting held in Cooper
Institute New York, Jan. 1st, Mr..
John E. Bruce, formerly of this
city and one of the best newspa-
per writers in this country, offered
the following resolutions which
have been printed on parchment
and are to be presented to Genl
Harrison:
Mr.. John E. Bruce offered the
following resolutions:
Whereas, BY the gracious favor
OF Almighty God, who rules the
destinies of nations and individ-
uals, the Republican party, more
than a quarter of a century agn,
unloosed the shackles from four
aud one half million of bondsmen
held in slavery by the Christian
civilization of the South, and de-
olared them to be forever free,
and
Whereas, The immortal Lincoln :,
sustained and encouraged by the
liberty loving people of the North,
performed an act of justice to al
outraged race in signing the Eman-
cipation Proclamation, and x
Whereas, Recognizing, as we do,
the fact that human slavery in any
form is a crime against civilization
and Justice, end that the Republic
can party has always been the
exponent of the th 'ught, that all
men are created free and equal,
we unite with our brethren In
commenting the wisdom and
craftsmanship of the lenders of
that party in removing the blot
from the fair escutcheon of this
nation, and in giving to the ne
groes of the United States the
great badge of citizenship, the
ballot; and
Whereas, we believe that it is
incumbant upon the Republ can
party to emsncipate the ignorant
white and colored people in many
portions of the South, from the
bondage of ignorance that they
may more intelligently exerc;ss
the rights of citizenship, aud
Whereas, We believe that the
passage of the Blair bill would
benefit in large measure the ig-
noraut whites and blacks of the
South, while the Chandler bill to
regulate elections in that section
would do much to establish the
principles of political honesty
among those who believe i'll sup.
pressing the votes of Lawful
majorities; therefore be it
Resolued, That we extend to the
great Republican party the as
surauce OF our faith aud conidencs
in its declared purpose to protec
the people of the South and tt
enfo ce the let er and spirit of th'
Constitution. x x
Resoloed, That we discounte-
nance and discredit the sensation
al reports of negro uprisings in tn
South, and brand them as wicked
and malicious attempts on tn
part OF certain democratic news
papers to create among the peopl
Of the North false aud unjust i'm
