stands recorded, and unless adequately atoned
becomes a fatal precedent. For the purpose of
gratifying an ignoble partisan resentment you
have struck down the rights of the press, you
have violated personal liberty, subjected prop
erty to unjust seizure ostentatously placed force
above law, setting a dangerous example to those
who love force more than they respect law and
thus by attempting to crush the organs OF free
discussion, have made free elections impossible,
and broken down all the safeguards Of repre-
sentative government


1t is Won that in this transaction stand accu-
sed before the people. 1t is you who are con-
spicuonsly guilty. 1t is upon you that history,
when recording these events, will affiX the crime
of a disregard Of yopr duty, oblivion Of your
oath, and pitiable subserviency to party pref
udice and personal ambition, when the country
demanded in the presidential office elevated char
acter, devotion to duty, and entire selt-abnega-
ton.


But you are not to be left TO the judgment Of
history alone. Thank God, the Constitution is
not yet wholly abrogated, the people are soon
to pass upon your claims TO reelection, and the
right of impeachment yet remains to their rep
rcscntatires The people and their representa-
tives have the right TO speak when the pen is





onet; when the BaStile once broken down on
the other side of the Atlantic by the reverbera-
ton of our Revolution, is reconstructed here.


In stormy times like these, amid dangers with
which an unsurpassed rebellion environs US,
his would have been rash hand which had
hastily set in motion for another purpose than
the suppression of rebellion, the machinery cf
Justice; who had invoked against the disloyalty
of rulers the retriboion and redresses of the law.
The danger of such Il conflict Of laws is so far
passed, that even the President could not plead
national safety as an excuse for refusing to do
Justice or submit to judgment.


Yet no citizen who regards his duties should
ever hesitate at the last to oppose lawless deeds
with legal remedies The law may break down
1t will then disclose to a watchful people the
point Of greatest danger. Courts may fail ;
Judges may be intimidated by threats or bribed
by the alIurements Of power, and those who have
sworn to execute the laws may shrink from the
fuliilment of their oaths. A craven Congress
may sit silent and idly watch the perishing lib
critics of the people whom :hey represent, but
this cannot deter him who, in defending his rights
is determined to do his whole duty, and TO who
it is competent at last to commit the issue to
that Power, omnipo;ent and inscrutable, who
presides in events and sways the destines of ma
tions and the hearts of men.


MANTON MARBLE.
Year: 1864

The Republicans tried to expel Mr.. Long
from the House for saying that he preferred
the Acknowledgements of the independenco.o the
South TO the extermination.of the people This
was his whole offence. Yet in the debate upen
this proposition, an Abolition member, Mr.. Grin
nell, Of Iowa, said:


81 would rather say n thousand times, let the
Country be divided-fhe Sout 90 their way all
slave, and the North all free-rather than to
see the country once more under Democratic
misrue."


This is patriotism, but Mr. Longs remark
was treason, according to Abolition logic The
shameful hypocrisy and partisan motive Of this
whole movement, are well illustrated by this.


But another little fact is equally significant
in this direction The whole Republican force
in the House united in declaring MIR. Longs
speech to be reasonable and well designed TO
afford aid and comfort to the enemy. Yet the
leading men among them subscribed for Thousands

toa among tier constituents If it was treason
to utter the speech, was it not equally treason
TO circulate it z Yet this was done by the very
men who spoke loudest and were most active
in support of the movement to expel Mr.. Long!

day of August, 1864: ys5 eo


THE RESOLUTIONS.


PesOlUed, That in the future, as in the past we
will adhere with unswerving fidelity to the Union
under the Constitution the only solid foundation
Of our strength security and happiness as q people,
and as framework Of government equally conduo-
i've to the welfare and prosperity of all the States


Resosed That att this Eonvention does explicitly de-
clare, the sense Of the American people, that after
four years Of failure TO restore the Union by the
q military necessity Or war power higher than the
Constitution the Constitution itself has been disre-
garded in every part, and public liberty and private
right alike trodden down and the material prosperity
Of the country essentially impaired Justice, human
ity, liberty, and the publ welfare demand that i'm
mediate efforts be made for cessation Of hostties,
with viewto an ultimate convention Of the States,
or other peaceable means, to the end that at the
lest practicable moment peace may be restored on


ResoLUed That the direct interference Of the mil
itary authorities Of the United States in the recent
elections held in Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, and
Delaware, was shameful violation Of the C6nstitu-
tom and repetition of such acts in the approach
ing election will be held revolutionary, and
sisted with all the means and power under our con-
trol. ItF


Resolred, That the aim and object Of the Demo-
cratic party is TO preserve the Federal Union and the
rights Of, the States unimpaired; and they hereby



usurpatiOn of extraordinary and dangerous powers
not granted by the Constitutions; the subversion Of
the civil by military law in States not in insurrec-
ton; the arbitrary military arrest, imprisonment,
trial and sentence of American citizens in States
where civil law exists in full force the suppression
Of freedom of speech and of the press the denial of
the right of asylum; the open and avowed disregard
Of State rights; the employment of unusual test
oaths and the interference with and denial of the
right of the people to bear arms in their Defense is
calculated to prevent restoration Of the Union, and
the perpetuatiOn of government deriving its just
powers from the consent Of the governed.


Resolred That the shameful disregard Of the Ad-
minstraOn to its duty, in respect to our feowcti-
zens who now are and long have been, prisoners Of
war in suffering condition, deserves the severest
reprObaton on the score alike of public policy and
common humanity. ..


ResOlred, That the sympathy Of the Democratic
party is heartily and earnestly extended to the SOL
dery of our army and sailors of our navy, who are
and have been in the field and on the sea, under
the flag of their country and in the event of its at
tanning power, they will receive all the care protee-

the veil worn by the lady stood out straight,

SO ludicrous that they could not help bursting

favorable circumstances to all the influences of
education and Christianity, have no doubt
that such treaties would be eminently wise
and humane but between such a condition
and the native state OF the Indian there is no
intermediate arrangement which is not at
tended with wrong to the Indian, unnecessary
expense to the government, and constant dan
ger to the frontier settlements. In his wild
condition the Indian possesses, at least, many
noble qualities, and has only the vices which
are inseperable from the savage state. He is
free, 80 far as he can be, happy, contented and
easily managed. If the government make any
change in his condition it should be for the
better.


1t is easier far to preserve the peace and
protect emigration where only wild Indians are
in question than where these annuity Indians
are concerned. Either radical change in our
Indian policy should be made, Or in justice to
the government as well as to the Indian and
to the cause of humanity, he should be left in
his native state, only subject to the condition
that he shall not molest the emigrants who
pursue their journey through his vast domain


If we cannot adopt the former Of these alter
natives, the latter has at least been made more
easy by the fact that we have already reached
the western limit of the great fertile region be-
tween the Mississippi River and the Rocky
Mountains. The great region now roamed
over by the Indians offers no inducements to
settlement and cultivation, and the lands are
not coveted by the whites except in the cir
cumscribed regions within the mountains
where gold has been discovered. Special ar
rangements can, if necessary, be made with
the Indians who claim those immediate dis
tricts; but there is no longer the necessity of
interfering with the wild Indians of the great
plains, further than to secure immunity of
travel for white emigrants. This safety of
travel can readily be secured by the kind ac-
ton of the military authorities


believe that the further application by In
dian treaty of our present system of treaty
making would only leopard this result, and for
this reason, as well as in consideration of the
facts heretofore stated l urge on the Depart
ment that no treaties be made nor renewed with
Indians in this department -l-


The system of Indian policy have herein
sketched and recommended I hope earnestly
will be adopted, as well for the good of the In
dian as for the good of the country Until
that is done or some such change in our Indian
system be made, TRUST that on grounds of hui
manity as well as of interest the government
will decide to leave the Indian in his native
wilderness.
