principles that should govern this people in their
intercourse with the family of nations.
.11. That we favor the adoption of an amend-
mtnd |o the Constitution of the United States, re
scinding the 14th and 15th amendments.
12. That we are in favor of a liberal policy be
ing pursued by the Legislature of this State, in
tbe bestowal of tho land grants to her for the pur
pose of public improvements.
13. Thatt.be Governor and resigning members
of the Legislature, in engaging in a conspiracy to
overthrow the State government, collect large
amounts of coin as revenue, to be drawn from the
business and hard earnings of the people, to be
idle in the treasury, or to be the subjects of gam
bling speculations in warrants, bonds and other
securities, were guilty of a high orime against the
Government of Oregon, rendering them unworthy
the reap ct and confidence of the people, or of be
ing further entrusted with the administration of
the government; and while we thus condemn the
action of the Governor and resigning members, we
unhesitatingly approve and endorse the conduct of
the Democratic members in earnestly and faithful
ly striving to restore and maintain the organiza
tion of the Legislature, and provide for the due
administration of the laws.
