such government as would afford pro-

ful authority vested by law.
I'm the recent conflict with lawless-
ness in this state no new principle has
been evolved. nothing strange or mys-
terious has been attempted, but simply
an application of those old-time princi-
pies of American liberty and Republican
safety, until we can now say to the peo-
pie of Colorado. and to the country at
large, that in Colorado labor is free
and life and property are safe"
