to Adope Resolutions of a Similar
 Nature Denouncing Beveridge.
 A mass meeting of enthusiastic state hood workers was held at the city building Tuesday night in Albu- Querque Hon. E.. s. StOver was elect ed chairman. The action of Senator Beyeridge and the majority of the sen ate committee in opposing the admis- sion of New Mexico on the strength of the prejudiced and unfair report of the subcommittee which visited the territory came in for severe con- demnation. The hope was expressed that every town in the territory would pass strong resolution denounc- ing .he unfair methods of Beveridge and his associates.
 The Democrat says. a committee was appointed to draw up resolutions expressing the feeling of the meeting. The sentiment of the gathering is ad- miTably crystaiized in the following resolutions which resulted:
 Whereas. By solemn treaty between the United States and the Republic of Mexico. commonly known as the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. dated February ?, 1S48. the United States of America .sacredly agreed that MeXi- cans in said territory. shall be incor porated into the union of the United States and be admitted at the proper time. $ to the enjoyment of all the rights of citizens of the United States according 10 the principles of the con stitution.'
 And Whereas As from that da.a until the present time not only the people who became citizens Of tic United States by said trea;y. but thousands Of citizens native born in the different states of the union. have united their fortunes and lives with the aforesaid citizens of New Mexico and their descendant, have been and still are denied the rights ot citizens of the United States.
 And Whereas, The people of New Mexico have been and sill are denied the rights Of citizenship. and are gov erned without regard to the sacred rights Of immunity from taxation with out representation, and the sacred principle that all ''just government . rests upon the consent of the govern ed and that no taxation can be i'm posed without representation:
 And Whereas. For more than fifty years the people of New Mexico have
 
 Vrights while they have royalty respond ed to every call upon them in peace and war by payment of taxes and ser vices on the fed of battle for the preservation of the union and against foreign foes:
 N"Adn whereas, congress has denied to the people of this territory the said sacred rights of xNh inh he fully enjoyed by the affiliation of the territory to the union as a sovereign state:
 And Whereas, There is a bill for the admission of the territory of New Mexico into the union together with the territories of Arizona (carved out of the said ceded territory and the 2. territory of Oklahoma. has passed the ElhOuss of representatives of the Unit ed States and TOW pending in the sen of which would do the people of New Mexico but tardy justice:
 And Whereas. A subcommittee of the senate committee on territories has recently visited our territory, coming for the preconcieved purpose of finding evidence to furnish basis
 
 sage of said bill
 And Whereas, The said committee after visiting our territory, spending not more than weeks time and stop ping at not more than a half-dozen To- calities in the territory has, accord ing to ,he pubic press, made a report with the object of defeating said bill which report may not only accomplish ho+ ciyiS hr1f uh c1o d. CTS and maligns us in the opinion of all civilized people:
 Be It Resolved, That we, the citi- zens Of the city of Albuquerque in mass meeting assembled, express our indignation at the unfair methods of the said subcommittee, and appeal to the sense of justice and fairness of the American people and the senate of our constitu ion of the United States, the declaration of Independence and the solemn treaty of the United States and the republic of Mexico.
 Be It Further Resolved, That in our opinion. not only are we dishonpr- ed and disgraced by the action of the majority of said committee but in view of the fact that both of the great poll. tica. parties of the country have in national convention declared in favor of according to us our rights to admis- sion as a state, that we regard the hos tility of the majority of the senate committee on territories as an act of unprecedented perfidity in American history which does not tend to inspire confidence in the plighted faith of the American people with Cubans. Porto Ricans, Filipiros or the civilized world
 Be It Further Resolved. That we
