Hi s,, I, ril, Dy the people of Davie coun
ty in Mass Meeting assembled, That we
cordially and heartily ratify the nomina
tion of Horatio Seymour and r ranci 1.
Blair for President and Vice President of
the United Slates, and will exercise oar
right as freemen peaceably at the ballot
box to secure their election, not for tbe
personal triumph of the nominee nor even
for the partisan success of a party, but
upon the broader and higher ground
that they are the choice of the moderate
and patriotic men of alt parties who are
endeavoring to uphold tho supremacy of
tbe Constitntion of the United States and
''the law passed In pursuance thereof "
nd that we regard the real issue to be
whether our government, with its three
co-ordinate branches of Kxecutive, Judi
cial and legislative Is 10 survive, Or wheth
er Congress by assuming to regulate the
question of suffrage in the States, or at
his option, to withhold the right to vote
from the States, and by other unconstitu
tional acts ; my make its mere will, the
paramount law of tbe land.
