. recognise another attempt of the Radical ma.
jority iu Congress to degrade iba white man
down to the level of the negro, and to ceo?
tralize and usurp power ; and that; believing
as we do, that this Government was instituted

pose with all the energy we possess, and by
all legal' and constitutional means any and
'every attempt to give the right of suffrage to
uy oilier than tna wuite man. A' t i i

laws than such as are In accordance with the
Constitution; that we are In faVor of the
Union of the States one and insuperable -as
toey wire handed down to os by tlie apostles
of the Revolution; that w.t will, oppose their
dismembermeut, whether, by the, Radicals ol
toe Nortn or tbe extremists of the South, and
that we bold with the immortal Jackson.1 that
