Ay v , j. xL vi, Tote everrtde the constjtation.of the .;:. hI , " " - j to permit it to be done. Second. We-are convinced that the methods which were adopted to secure the passage of the resolution ' were improper and not justified. -; s. .'. ., ''Thirdv 'We believe that the majority of tlie Pfop)evof Tennessee do not favor the ratlfrtioit of said amendment. "FourtnWie'have felt to have ratified the amendment would have been to sur render the sovereign rights of the state on the question of suffrage, which is one of the most important and sacred rights conferred,and the only defense that the people of Tennessee had at this juncture rested in our hands, and the only way that we could serve was to take the course that we have taken. We fully understand that our action could only be justified by the! tremendous issues involved, which, in our judgment, went to the very foundation of our government; that the ratification of said amendment wduld be destructive of our sovereignty of the state and a nega tion of the -dual form of government cre ated by its founders. It seemed to us that under conditions existing at Nashville, under the pressure of & lobby and the de mands improperly made by agencies which .should jiot have been employed, the only proper course for us to take was to absent ourselves from the state for a pe riod of time sufficient for the people of Tennessee to- express thmselves in such manner as might be adopted by them to the end that the governor of the state, who actively lent himself to the adoption of the amendment, and the members of nit; iL-Kia.nmro tw.u kt.u xu.im ho i to favor its adoption, might be advised of the wishes ... , . of the people of Tennessee, and be super induced by such expressions to abandon for the time being the prosecution of the endeavor to ratify the amendment."
