AOROEK STATE CONVENTION.
from Prominent Statesmen—
Hcsm..tion«i lor haiiliooil Sntfruffc.
Baitimohb, M 1!.,. Sent. 1?(— According to pre
vious announcement, the Cohvontmn of delegates
from tho border'States, namely, Tennessee, Mis
soni!, Maryland, Delaware, Western Virginia and
the District of Columbia to urge upon Congress
the adoption of the bijl granting impartial suf
frage and equal rights, assembled ftt the front
Street Theatre at 12 M. to-day. The theatre was
filled, there being about eight hundred delegates
in attendance, about one-third of whom were
colored men. Thcgallerics were densely crowded
by white and.colored spectators, ami considerable
enthusiasm prevailed. The interior of the build
ing was gaily decorated with American Hags, ami
the names of Grant, Sheridan, Stanton, Sickles
and other popular leaders were posted in.con
spicuous places. The stage was handsomely set.
and was tilled with prominent members ot the
Radical party of Baltimore and distant points.
A large crowd of persons collected in front ol the
theatre, and a number of police were in
the building, to preserve order.
The Convention was called to order by Colonel
Thomafe J. Wilson, Chairman of the Maryland
Republican Executive Committee, who intro
duced Mr. Clavtoii. Secretary of the Convention, -
who read the call for'the Convention, which was
“to advance the cause of manhood suffrage, and
to demand of Congress the passage of the Sum
ner-Wilson lull.'’
Frederick .Schley, of Frederick City, Md., then
moved that the following named gentlemen he
■selected as temporary officers of the Convention:
Hon. Lewis Thompson, of Delaware, as Presi
dent, and J, W. Clayton, as Secretary. Mr.,
■vgchicy’ir mp.tt'4' agw',; 1 -
Mr.’Thompson, on taking the Chair, 'Spcnriravs
follows:
F,liovcHk<->i*:- I tliank you for the honor von
lave.conferred upon me. .It affords mo. pleasure,
in cooperating with tho loyal and patriotic men
of tho Border States, in initiating a movement
that has for its object the securing to every man,
however'humble, all the rights and immunities
that appropriately belong to American citizen
ship.
A century of time has nearly passed away since
the fathers of the Kepublic proclaimed to the
world that “ that all men are created equal,” and
we are here to-day to reassert and reaffirm that
declaration, and to Bay that we do not regard this
.great declaration as “ a mere rhetorical nourish
or as a glittering generality,” but as the promul
gation of a practical governmental truth—tin;
enunciation of a principle that lies at the very
foundation of all true republican government.
We do not. like our opponents, understand this
part of the Declaration of Independence to mean
Athat all while "men are created equal,” and that
it does not apply to the colored men of the coun
try, thus making it appear, ns they do, that the
plain ami simple words of Jellcrsoii that 1 have
quoted wore intended to deceive and mislead his
lellow-eountrymen. I would say to my Demo
cratic friends, that if they want a definite answer
to this question; go ask the rebels who have met
the colored soldiers face to face on the but tie
: plains of the South, whether oruot they are men.
The supreme authority of the General (iovern
■ ment put the musket into the hands of the black
man that he might help secure the life of the
nation, and we how ask the same supreme au
thority to put the ballot into his hands that he
may also help to keep it safe from the attacks
‘ of ambitions and disloyal men in the future.
My l'ellow-citizens. it cannot be .that this nation
will so disgrace itself in the eyes of the civilized
world by withholding front the colored men who
fought and hied that the nation might live tho full
enjoyment of all their civil and political rights.
God forbid that the nation shall enjoy the bless
ings of peace while tolerating such an iniquitous
wrong. For have we not learned * trorn out past
history as a nation this lesson of wisdom—that
nations, like individuals, cannot violate the prin
ciples of wall t and.justice with impunity? May we
do rightJjmWThe blessings of a just God may be
vouchsafed to the nation!
The Jtev. Mr. Browne then addressed the throne
in an impressive manner.
On motion of Mr. Clayton, the delegates from
the District of Columbia' were admitted to seats in
the Convention.
Hon. Robert T. Van Horn, of Missouri, then
moved that a committeo of nine he appointed on
permanent organization. Agreed to.
The following gentlemen were appointed: Hon.
Robert T. Van Horn,Missouri; Frederick Schley,
Maryland; John P. McLear, Delaware; David
Goshom, West Virginia; General Cooper, Ten
nessee; General Muzzy, District- of Columbia:
Dr. W. C. Davidson, Delaware; Dr.H. J. Brown,
Maryland; Benjamih T. Tenner, Maryland.
The following letters of regret were read :
Natick, Sept. D, 18(17 .—My Dear CresweU
I had hoped to be at your Convention, but ttie
sickness of my wife may prevent it. I suggest
that vour Convention declare for impartial sut
lrage,’ either by law or constitutional amend
ment. We can carry' the amendment if we can
not carry the law. At the last session I offered
an amendment on the 17th of July, allowing all.
without distinction of color, to vote or hold
office, making no distinctions of rights or privi
leges. Some of our strongest men doubt our
power to pass a lull. If we cannot do it, let us
set about amending the Constitution. Our State
Convention will go for suffrage, either by law or
amendment. Success to your Convention,
In haste, Husky Wii.si.n,
CIiARUiSTos, 111.. Sept, 2,18(17. — l)enr .Sir: I
have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of
your invitation to attend the approaching Border
State Convention. I regret that I cannot be pre
sent to share again, as heretofore, the generous
courtesy and hospitality of the representatives of
my native city. You, of the Border States, need
not to be reminded that the contest in which we
have been engaged during the last seven years is
not yet ended. It was not to be expected that
the elements which engendered such “a-war of
giants,” would subside iuto inaction because Leo
and Johnston surrendered to armed force.
The masses of those who wero suborned into
treason by means beyond theirknowledgc, had
been so long taught, by the continual urging of
Secession States Rights fallacies upon them, that
they had ceased to regard this whole lund as their
country, and looked only on the States in which
they dwelt as their native or adopted land. All
the Influences and interests which initiated and
precipitated this armed rebellion upon the coun
try Btill exist, with rancor Intensified by the
mortification .of defeated arms. In addition to
what existed iiefore the war, the immense inte
rests involved in.rebel debts and rebel losses are
thrown into the scale against the Union cause.
The contest must go on until the enemies of
the Government succeed in its prostration or the
loml people become so intrenched and fortified
in every State as to command the submission of
every class and local interest to tho sublime do
minion of the Republic. On the part ot the loyal
people of the North the struggle is truly com
mendable: on your pnrt it is heroic., You contend
with the Secession so-called State Rights heresy,
the Abbadon of the Republic,in the Strongholds of
its power. Very respectfully,
H. P. H. Bko.uwuuj,.
- J.u ksiinvh.i.i:, 111., Aug. 30, 1807. —Dear .Sir:
Your note of the 22d inst., inviting me to attend
the Border Suite Convention, to be held on the
12th prox., at Baltimore, is received. I earnestly
desire to iftcept your invitation, but am forced to
forego the pleasure of seeing you on that occa
sion by prior engagements which require my pre
sence elsewhere. The condition of public allairs
at this time furnishes occasion lor grave appre
hensions to all liberty-loving men throughout
the country; aud in my judgment, our country’s
integrity and the liberties of tlie people are jeo
pardized to an extent that demands as much
intrepid patriotism aud wisdom us at any time in
eur eventful and perilous past.
It is my earnest wish and hope that your as
semblage of patriots will bravely accept the les
sons of the times, audio their resolutions will re
cognize and proclaim their entire devotion to the
great fundamental principle which underlies our
form of government, viz.: universal equality of
righto and privileges among the governed. No
thing less than Una will stand the test of popular
scrutiny, and notliiug less will restore to us
peace and prosperity. With cordial wishes lor
, ydur success in rescuing Maryland from the pre
tent disgraceful rule. 1 am. very truly, yours,

On motion of cx-Senator Creswell, of .Mary

’'wmrdigcd; fion. J. .A. *0 Creswell, ol
Tlon. H. R. lilt tier, of Tennessee; Hwm
It. T.Van 'Horn, ol Missouri; J. J. Stewart:-ot
Maryland; 11. M. Jenkins, of Delaware; li.
Stoekett Matthews, of Maryland; David Unshorn,-
of West Virginia; W. 11. G. -Brown, of Maryland;
Anthony Higgins, of Delaware.
The following resolutions were then read and
referred to. the Committee on Resolutions:
Hmnlf'nl, That the brilliant services of the Sec
retary of War, appointed to olliee by Abraham
Lincoln, and removed from olliee by Andrew
Johnson, are gratefully appreciated by the loyal
people ol the whole country; and that m the
opinion of this Convention the representatives or
the people—in obedience to the popular will
should at the earliest opportunity vindicate the
supremacy of the law by reinstating Edwin M.
Stanton and removing Andrew-Johnson. _ _
R.svlml, Tlmt this Convention, entertaining
no doubt of the power of Congress to prescribe
the mode whereby a republican form ot govern
ment shall be guaranteed to each ot the Sl-itcs,
will respectfully petition Congress at its coming
session. Ul pass the enabling act introduced by
the lion. Francis Thomas, of Maryland, so that
the‘loyal people, without,, distinction of color,
mar lie enabled to participate in all elections,
ami that members of this Convention should
be appointed bv the Chairman, whose duty.it
shall be to properly set forth the grievances ol
the people of the Border Slates, and request the
passage of such enabling act.
The Hon. Horace Maynard of Tennessee was
then nominated as--permanent President of tin:
Convention, and Mr.- J. W. "Clayton, ot Mary
land, as permanent Secretary. These gentlemen
were unanimously elected.
Mr. Maynard, tm taking the chair, was re
ceived with tremendous cheers, and addressed
the Convention as follows :
Uenthmen »/' the Conreiilii at:—l accept with
dillldcnce the position with which you have
honored me. The attitude of the Union men ot
the Border States during the last years of trouble
and struggle has been peculiarly trying and lull
of responsibility: None understand that better
than you whom I now see before me. How we
and our associates have borne ourselves during,
this trial: how we have discharged ourselves of
the responsibility that is upon us, it is perhaps
unwise and out of place at this time to impure.
Certain it is if there he things that we have left
undone, history, I am sure, will do us the justice
to say,there are many things that we have done.
the recollection of you all. how we
of the Southern States were electrified a lew years
since by a declaration of the groat statesman of
New England, Mr. Webster, addressed to his own
noiglijiors, to the effect that there are times when
we must learn to conquer our prejudices—to
know people. And at no time-has that monition
come with more force than to us ot the Border
States during the last few years that have just
passed. And right manfully; have those people
met and acted upon the spirit of that lesson.
Cast back your minds hut six years, aye,-three
years, to the questions that were then before the
public mind, and to the manner in which you
yourselves were inclined to meet them, and see
whether in your own breasts this great work of
overcoming unreasoning and unreasonable pre
judices has not made a mighty advance.
With respect to the main proposition which
seems to have been in the mind oi those who
called this assemblage together,.we iu , Tennes
see have possibly taken a position more.-ad
vanced than any that has been assumed by- the
other States that are here represented. With hs
it is no longer theory, it is practice—no longer
speculation, it is fac-ta-iio longer hypothesis, it is
experience, aud permit me to say the experience
has far more than justified all the reasonings ol
speculation aud hypothesis. - | Great applause. |
Looking upon the question from behind, as one
that we have passed, it is to us a matter of won
der, of amazement, that it ever seemed to us so
appalling, so full of difficulties. It was, as the
poet haß said of the dread of the last calamity
—death (which lies most in apprehension),
“when once met, when once encountered,
the difficulty vanished. and there was nothing left
to he overcome.” This great question that has
shaken this nation from the centre to the circum
ference, which has kept it agitated as no other
question ever did agitate it—this question of men
sprung fromAfriean ancestors—became no longer
a question in Tennessee the moment she obliter
ated lroui her Constitution and her statute book
every distinction of either race or color. ( Long
continued applause. | When she assented to the
simple proposition of legislating for her
own people, for human beings, then all
the difficulties of race, and complexion, and
condition disappeared at once. Aud so it
will be throughout this vast country of ours.
When we reach that simple attitude all the diffi
culties by which the country has been shaken
aB by a tempest will disappear and ho at an end.
Gentlemen of the convention, our delibera
tions will he of a character possibly to call forth
differences of opinion or diversity of sentiment;
aud I trust that I shall have your assistance in
preserving that order and that decorum which is
essential for giving to a deliberative assembly the
dignity and consequence desire to see at
.tneliod to our actions. Trusting in your assist
ance and your forbearance, I enter with dillldcnce
upon the discharge of the duties you have as
signed me, aud call the eonventiou to order.

of Tennessee, was selected to, make a speech to

Tennessee. He promised To,ooo lhajonty m
Tennessee for tlie Radical cause in tile next 1 re
sidentini election, and prophesied that the
colored people would soon . vote, ail over the
country. He was particularly severe on the
national policy of Andrew Johnson, and extolled
the patriotism of William G. Browrllow. His re
marks were spirited and to the point, »l)d were
w.‘.-.U i ecc'i ved.
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.—PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13,1867.
Dr. Brdwn, of Baltimore (colored), then ad
dressed tho Convention. Ho thanked God that lie
stood -where he did—as an American dt\z,oiv : nm}
as an American citizen he was interested m the.
cause of impartial suffrage, and was about trav
eling through the. South to talk to his own race
on the present condition of public tul'airs. lie
would go down to tho Southern. States with lue
life in his hands, and was not Tcerpiln that ho
would not lose itbeforo ho Was enabled to -say
one word, for lie knew that there was lia much
rebellion and secession South how as there was
before and during. the war.- V‘Hb attributed the
present condition of public sentiment in the
South to the ruinous policy of Andrew Johnson.
The speaker scouted the idea of the so-called
social equality. He did not think there is or will
be any social equality between the white and
black race, atiil in fact It did not exist even among
the white people themselves. The cry of social
equality is a bugbear raised by tho Democrats,
Conservatives or Copperheads, or whatever else
you call them, to damage the progress of tho prin
ciple of impartial suffrage. He thought the
colored man was not understood." It. was said that
the negro would not fight when tho Rebellion be
gan; that they would run at the first sound of tho
gun. The progress of the war gave the lie to
this,and the colored man can vote as intelligently
as lie has fought bravely. Andrtfw Johnson and
iiis policy came in for a" share of invective at tlm
bunds of the speaker. So far as social equality
was concerned, the speaker thought that every
man was the judge as to whom he would admit,
to his table or allow to marry liis daughter, ami
lie (the speaker) did not ask to eat at tiny man's
table, nor would lie permit every man, white, or
black, to eat at liis table. All he demand'd was
the right of iniptmial sulfrago. and that principle
he would strive for f . The speaker thought that,
because lie sat-alongside of a white man in a rail
road ear, -it did not place him on a scale of social
equality with that white man, nor -did it make
the white man bis equal in a social point of view.
The.,speaker thought .it hard that a very rebel
re,fluid go into a baffler shop aud get shaved ami
treated decently, hot if a loyal colored man en
tered a barber shop frequented 1 by white men and
demanded to be shaved, lie would be told tu
leave without bis request being granted.
The Committee on Resolutions were then
announced as lining in readiness to report,
when ex-Senator Creswell read the followiag :
The Border States of the American I'hiou. in
Convention assembled, by delegates representing
a great majority of their citizens, address them
selves to their sister States and to the National
Congress," respectfully but earnestly repre
senting :
That, though they have been faithful to the
unity of the Republic, contributing their lilood
and "treasure to cement its bonds, most of them
are now beneath the heel of the same, spirit of
oppression which attempted, by armed rebeiion.
to destroy tile Union;
That tliis unhappy condition is, alone dun to
the fact that a large-number of' the citizens of
those .Slates, guilty of no crime, tint distin
guished for their faithful devotion to the country,
are by local laws, imposed upon them without
their consent, deprived of their right t«, vote, a
deprivation which places those States under,the
control of li disloyal minority of the citizens:
And tliis Convelition does therefore resolve :
28, 1807.—/M/r Hlr
First —That it is the duty ol' Congress, under
the National Constitution,’to protect the equal
voting lights of all loyal -American citizens, re
gardless of llieir complexion, for tho reason that
to admit the right of a State to limit the franchise
to one class admits its right to limit it to auy
oxtent—an abuse effectually guarded against by
tire Constiti tion in requiring that “the United
States shall guarantee to every State in the U'uioq
a rcpublicaiflbrni of government.”
—That with tliis duty placed upon it by
the fundamental law of the Republic, the Con
gress that lias prescribed a code of equal rights
l'or nine States, lately in rebellion, cannot iu rea
son or justice withhold its patient audience, nor
its swift aDd thorough relief from States, a ma
jority of whose people have always faithfully
adhered to the Republic. - -
tins action of Congress demanded
by constitutional authority would be not only
an act of justice to individuals, aud a measure -of
protection to the Border States, but a new bond
of unity to the Republic, iu reasserting the rights
of man. as proclaimed by the Declaration ol In
dependence.
Futirth —-That we respectfully urge Congress to
act bravely and. thoroughly in the.adoption of
whatever measures they may determine to be re
quisite for the establishment of peace and pros
perity throughout the whole land, and we expect
them to repose full faith in the courage, loyalty
and intelligence of the masses of the people, who
regard no perils as more to be spurned .than
timidity and indifference in their representatives,
and who will always sustain Congress in their ef
forts to establish by law the most thorough. de
velopment of true’rcpublican Institutions.
Fifth —That while we affirm the constitutional
power and duty of Congress by statute to secure
to the States a republican form of government,
yet we earneslly urge upon Congress to preseut
10 the States for their adoption au amendment
that no State shall disfranchise any citizeu be
• cause of race or color, and thus put beyond the
danger of political changes the fundamental rights
of American citizenship.
NV.wA— I That we approve heartily the measures
adopted bv Congress for reconstructing the rebel
Stales. Ims eel upon the principle that loyal men
shall rule, aud that treason, which filled in its
armed attacks, shall have no appeal to the ballot
box; and we honor the 'heroes, Steridan and
Sickles, who, by theih faithful execition of' the
laws in the spirit of their enactment, have added
civil renown to the laurels won on Ihe field, and
whose fidelity alone caused their removal by
Andrew Johnson. \
.S'l-rentA—That the patriotic Eeruces of Hon.
Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War, trusted by
Abraham Lincoln and suspended Corn olllco by
Andrew Johnson, are gratefully appreciated ,by
the loyal people of the whole cotutry, and that
the Senate of the United States, ii obedience to
the popular will, should at the eadiost opportu
nity -vindicate the supremacy of tie law by rein
stating Edwin M. Stanton as Secretary of War.
Jiit/hili —That representation according to popu
lation in State Legislatures is the only true prin
ciple, and the special condition o) Maryland and
Delaware, in which a minority of the people have
a majority vote in their General Assemblies, and
in winch the dominant minorit, r is seeking still
further to increase their power, demands the at
tention of Congress; and we request the Hon.
Francis Thomas, of Maryland, tc urfje on the Ju
dieiary Committee of the lloust oi Representa
tives prompt action on the reso.'ution of inquiry
which he has had referred to that committee.
—That it is the duty of fthe Houso of Re
presentatives, as the paramount necessity ot its
approaching session, to present articles of im
peachment to the Senate for the tr.al of Andrew
Johnson for high crimes and nisdemeauors
against llie Constitution and the liws passed in
pursuance thereof; for usurpation oi powers
delegated to the Legislative department of the
Government; for obstructing, hindering and de
laying the reconstruction of the Spates lately in
rebellion; for the removal of faittful oillcers in
violation of law: the indecency audiudccorum of
his public administration; the perverse obstinacy
by which he intensifies the disloyalty of unre
pentant rebels, and his persistent opposition to
the will of the loyal people of the mtion.
'faith —That a"eopy ot these resdutions he for
warded to the Hon. "Frauds Thouas, Represen
tative of the Fourth Congressioml District of
Maryland, with at request that lit will lay the
same before the Utilise of Iteprefcntatives, and
also Unit a copy.be forwarded to Lon. Joseph L.
Fowler, Senator from Teimesfce,with a request
that lie will lay the same before-tin United States
Semite. .
After the reading of the resolntuns, a senes of
resolutions were read and udoped, eulogizing
the late llenry Winter Davis. '
Ex-Senator Crcswcll, on presenting the resolu
tions, made a forcible address on lie preseut con
dition'of political a Hairs. He Bought wd had
ample cause to congratulate ourwlves ou the re
sult of tlie day’s deliberations, aid tho ndvaucc
of the great principle ol impartin' suH'ragc would
lie a death blow to tlie policy of Andrew Johnson.
The speaker then proceeded to mlogize, in the
strongest terms, tlie late action of the people of
TenmVsie.
lie adduced strong ami pithy masons why the
right of hiilliage should be imparted to the black
men, and recounted the services they have per

Mr. Evunsjjcoved that a committee of nine be
appointed topfeseut the charges to Select Coun
cil: Agreed to.
Mr. Marcer,'President, appointed the following
committee: Messrs. Shoemaker, pliairmamKvaus,
Harper, LitUetoh, Ilutzcll, W'. 1). Martin. Stokes,
Ururp and Shane.
Mr. Littleton, chairman of, the special com
mittee on merger of tlie Warren and' i-’ninkliu
Kuilroud with the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad,,
reported adversely to the merger, and asked to
be discharged from further consideration of the
subject. Agreed to.
Mr. Littleton, chairman of the special commit
tee to whom wasreferred the resolution directing
the committee to inquire and investigate whether
William McMullen, one of the Aldermen of the
Fourth Ward, and Wm. H. P. Karnes, a member
of Common Council from the Fourth Ward, bad
uot-been guilty of a gross violation of tlie ordin
ances of Councils, and the laws of this Common
wealth, reported that tin; committee were of the
opinion, from the facts proved before them, that
suilieient evidence was produced to warrant tile
impeachment of Wm. McMullen and Win. 11. I’.
Barnes, but in consequence of the opinion
of the City Solicitor stating that Coun
cils had " no power to remove
Alderman McMullen, the committee
had agreed to report the whole subject to Coun
cils. The report concludes ns follows: "The
Committee, therefore, submit the whole matter
to Common Council for their action. If further
proceedings are to be undertaken, they feel that
this should be done by the Chamber after a full
consideration of the difficulties of the ease. The
City Solicitor is very clear as to the want of
jurisdiction; but his "revised opinion leaves the
matter still open for tho action of Councils; and
it is for them to say what course shall be pur
sued. It will he a matter of great regret if" the
representatives ol the people are powerless to
protect tlie citizens from outrages bn the part
of those who have been selected to serve them.
"Here, an alderman ol the city, n sworn con
servator of the peace, a councilman el ceiled to
legislate for the good of the public, are shown to
have been the ringleaders of a mob and the par
ticipants in. a riot. There may be other punish
ment, hut the true remedy, alter all, for conduct
like this, is expulsion from office, and if Coun
cils, representing the public, have not the power
to remove such offenders from the positions
which they thus disgrace, it should be speedily
conferred upon them.”
Accompanying' the report was the opinion of
Mr. Lyncf, the City Solicitor. Mr. Lynd”says that
Common Council cannot impeach an alderman
lor misdemeanor in office. As to Councilman
Barnes, he says that he, in breaking the. peace,
violated no official duty, and was not guilty
thereby of a misdemeanor in office. The con
solidation act, however, specifics as grounds for
impeachment “misdemeanor in office, and other
sufficient causes hence he may he liable to im
peachment for a breach of the peace as one of the
“other sufficient, causes.” The Solicitor says
that, after a careful examination of the language
of our State Constitution relative thereto, lie is
inclined to f> belicve that the proceeding is appli
cable to State officers only, and enforcibie exclu
sively by the I.egislaturo.
The resolution attached to the report, discharg
ing the committee, was adopted. ..
Mr. Littleton moved that the Clerk he directed
not to publish the testimony taken by the com
mittee.
Mr. Dillon objected to the motion on the ground
that Ike committee had reported that Alderman
'McMullen was guilty of heading a mob, and yet
they refuse to publish the testimony.

was agreed to.

Acting Governor of Kentucky lnun~
guruted,
Lieutenant-Governor Stevenson, of Kentucky,
was yesterday inaugurated as Governor of Ken
tucky, vice John.L. Helm, deceased. The cere
monies took place in the Senate chamber, at
Frankfort. After a prayer by the Rev. Bishop
Smith,” of the Catholic'Church, the lion. A. T-
Smitb, Mayor of Frank,fort, on the pan Of the
citizens, made an address of welcome to the
Governor. The inauguration address was then
rend. After referring in eloquent terms to the
political career of the late Governor Helm, Acting
Governor Stevenson proecods as follows :
i cordially approve and iully endorse every
principle enunciated in-tho admirable address of
the lamented Helm, and will, by God’s blessing,
earnestly endeavor to maintain them during my
administration of the government. The oath
which lam about to take exacts of me strict
obedience both to the Constitution ot the L nited.
States and the Constitution of Kentucky. Both
■were ordained to perpetuate the rights of civil
liberty and free representative government.
The nrovisions .ol both were intended to
preserve and uphold as a iundainental
guarantee of freedom the liberty of speech, ttie
freedom of the press”, the rights ol conscience,
of properly, of person, and ot reputation, xhc
puritv of elections and implicit obedience of tiio
representatives to the will ot their constituents,
justly and fairly considered, accordiug to their
letter’ and spirit, render collisions between
the Federal and . State governments utterly
impossible. They never occur so
long ns each govcrnnuMit restrains its oil
within the respective orbits prescribed by the
framers of each. It is only when one govern
ment overleaps the barriers erected for its re
straint that anger can arise. To all demands and
exactions of the Federal Government within the
sphere of its constitutional power, Kentucky will
always lend a ready support and a eheeriui obe
dience; while within the-limits of the Common
wealth, her reserved rights must be respected,
and I will, while I act as her Chief Magistrate, al
ways uphold, protect, and defend the Constitution
of the State from assault from without, or damage
from within, mid see that the laws are taumully
executed and obeyed. My earnest desire shall
V.ver he In advance the. welfare' and happiuess Ol
every member of ibis Comnunnveattri,. irrespec
tive of party creed, and for tins spirit l shall
look to all good citizens lor their succor, and
moke the blissing of Almighty God, the sure
proof of all who put theiy trust in ILmu lor the
honor, peace ano prosperity ol .Kentucky.
The oath of office as Acting Governor was
then administered by the lion. I>. J. Veters,
Chief Justice. The entire ceremonies were eon

Scrofulous poison in one of the moat destructive enemies
of our race. Often, this uneocn and pnfult tenant of the
