We profoundly deplore the untime ly and trag'C death of Abraham Lincoln, . and regret the accession to the Presidency of Andrew Johnson, who has acted treach erously to the people who elected him and tho cause he was pledged to support; who has unsurped high legislative and judicial functions ; who has refused to execute tho laws; who has used his high effice to induce other officers to ignore osd violate tlie laws; who has employed his executive powers to render . insecure the property, the peace, liberty and life pf the citizen ; who has abus ed the pardoning power ; who has denoun ced tbe National Legislature as unconstitu tional ; who has persistently and corruptly resisted, by every means in his power, every proper attempt at the reconstruction of the States lately in rebellion who has per- verted'the public patronage into an engiue of wholesale corruption ;muu who has been iustiy impeached for high crimes and misde meanors, and - properly pronounced; guilty tueteoiby tu. vote ot tuirty-nve bena tors. . - r IX. The doctrine of Great Britain and ther European powers that, because a man is once a subject be is always so, must be . resisted at every hazzard by the United States, as a relic ot feudal times, not author ized by the laws of nations, and at war with our natioaal honor aud independence. Nat uralized citizens are entitled to protection in . all their rights of citizenship, as though they were native-born ; and no citizen of the United States, native or naturalized, must be liable to arrest and imprisonment by any foreign power for acts done or words spoken in this country ; and, if so arrested and im prisoned, it is the duty of the Government to interfere in bis behalf, I X. Of all who were faith ful in the trials of the late war,-there were none entitled to - more especial honor than the brave soldiers and seamen who endnred the hardships of vention itself ; and it was very gratifying to me to meet many brave men, not only Irish men by birth but Catholics by conviction, who enthusiastically expressed their deter mination to stand by the Republican - party. The Germans, with that capital typo of a philosphie statesman, Carl Schurz, of Mis souri, who as the temporary chairman open ed the proceedings in a speech every word of which seemed to have been weighed in the severest scales of a careful and reflective judgment, and who, was tr.llmceecded this i burden of debt is to so. improve onrjfreditjji . -wv i l -. . . l m nuBje- irmif -m mrfnf sir "I 1 . t .lower rates of interest than we now pay. im Confederate or Union.
