Bobbisb, action or tan matiomal dxmocbatio oononpL At a meeting of members of tha Na tional Democratic] Committee, bald March 8,1877, the following address was unani mously adopted: A. 8. Hawitt, Oh’m. F. O. Pantos, Seo'y. jrsxT or tbs addbiss. To the American People: Wa submit to tha ooontry the following review of ths events which have resulted in the deola tion that Butherford B. Hayes has been also tad President of tha United States. In tha late political canvass, two foots stood out prominently: First—Tha Bepubllcan party, true to its sectional nature, thought to unify the North against tha solid South; and while engaged in that effort, it was striving to make good its probable losses in the North by dividing the votes of the South. This division it sought to effeot by the uncon stitutional use of the army in South Caro line, Florida and Louisiana. Second—The troops were sent to those States whan their waa neither invasion nor domestic insurrection to require them, with Legislatures easily to be oon vened. The only demsnd for their pres- enoe waa made by the State exeeotive. The elections in these States, therefore, were held in the shadow of military pow er. The bayonets glistened at the polls. In depositing thsir ballots, the citizens enjoyad only such liberty as permitted. In other States the elections were unusu ally peaoeful. Immediately afterward, the result showed that 196 Tilden eleotors had been chosen. Of the whole popular vote, they received a majority of more than a quarter of a million. Of that Oau- eaaian raoe whioh controls every other Christian andoivilized government of (he world, they reoeived a majority of more than 1,000,000. On the day succeeding the eleotlon it was annoncoed by the chairman of the Bepublioan National Committee that 184 Tilden and 185 Hayes electors had been chosen. Nothing bad then been learned of the eleotion, ex oepting the vote actually oast. It has never ainoe been disputed that by that vote a majority of the Tilden electors had been appointed. Suoh an announcement therefore, could only have been made in pursuance of arrangement to change the vote shown to have been given by the people. We oharge that after the true result had been proclaimed, a conspiracy was formed by the Bepublioan lei adera to revise the decision made at the polls. The field chosen for the development of the conspiracy was the States of Florida and Louisiana. The persons to sot with the original oonspirators were the Oovernors ana members of the Beturning Boards of those States. The field was well ehoson The State officers seleoted were suitable persons for the work to be done. For more than ten years those States had been subjected to governments not of their choice. Taxation and maladministration had robbed them of their substance, and well nigh destroyed their spirit and hope, The army of the United States had been freely used to maintain these govern ments in their sots of corruption and usurpation. It was believed that its ser vices would aid in the designed oonspira. oy. Tha names of the offloera depended upon are MaroelluaL. Stearns, Samuel B. MoLin and Clayton A. Gowgill, of Flori da, and Wm. Pitt Kellogg, J. Madison Walls, Thos. B. Anderson, E. Gasanave and i. B. Kenner, of Louisiana. These men were not strangers to the American people. They had before usurped an thority. The returning boards of these States had made themselves bywords in the land. The Oovernors were known to be pretenders. There were two names dishonored in the general estimation,they were the names of William* Pitt Kellogg and i. Madison Wells. To such men was the work of consummating the oonspira oy oonfided. They entered upon their task with alacrity, advised and encou. aged by leading visiting Bepublioan statesmen of the North. They took eaoh step with deliberate and apparent regard for law. Before the eleotion in Louisians, William Pitt Kellogg and bis subordinates assumed exclusive control of the execu tion of the registration law. They refused registration to thousands entitled to it, arid added thousands to the lists who had no right to vote. On the day of election the polls were managed by officials appointed by the ,Govemor. These were, in nearly every instance, members of the ltepublican party. Uni ted States Marshals swarmed at every preoinot, when thought necessary, under R ratenae of preserving the peace, but in ■at to intimidate the voters. Ballot- boxes were stuffed in the interest of the Bepublioan candidates. Poll books were falsified in some instances, and then re turned to the Canvassing Board, while in other oases returns giving Demooratio majorities were withheld from the can vassers altogether. After the returns bad been delivered to the Board they remain ed in its exclusive possession, and while there they were opened with its consent and original papers abstracted and false ones substituted In their Btead. When the returns were opened, the Board, with an appearance of fairness, permitted per sons representing bath parties to be pres ent, but when decision was made as to what should be oounted secret sessions were held, from wbioh every Democrat was excluded, although tha law constitu ting the Board required that it should be composed of representatives of both po litical parties. In counting the votes it exercised powers not conferred by the statute, and in the moat flagrant disregard of truth and justice, the members of the Board ohaaged the poll-books so that Be publioan officers appeared to be chosen when their opponents had in faot been eleoted. They forged the names of offi cers to certificates of eleotion. They threw out the votes of precinots upon affidavits whioh they knew had been fraudulently obtained. Indeed, they themselves ordered false affidavits to be made hundreds of miles from the places at which they were purported to nava been taken, in order that the decis ion might appear justified which they had in advance determined tb make. They arbitrarily threw out votes when there was no preliminary statement from the -Mmuaiaslonars of eleotion to give them juriadietion. They corruptly, in order to elect their favorites and to correot the mistakes of certain Bepublioans in voting for eleotors, added to the lists votes which had naver been cast. While considering the oese, the members of the board en- dsavored to enter into negotiations with both Bepublioan and Demooratio National Committees to sell their decision. A half million dollars wss the price asked. Not na it, they tried to bargain with j Democrats of Louisiana to elect the State lioket of their party. J. Madi son Wells, with the approval of Thos. C.> Anderson, offered to eleot the Nioholl’s State ticket for |200,000 cash in band. The Money wm not paid. Negotiations in that State, it refused to regard the or ders of oourts of competent jurisdiction, and proceeded iu most defiant,contempt of jodioial authority. In this manner more than 1,000 Tilden votes were thrown out in Florida and more than 10,000 in Louisiana. The votes of these States, in oonsequenoe of the conspiracy, which in fact had been oast for Tildan, were given to Hayea. The only excuse for this outrageous reversal of the judgment of the people is that intimidation had been practiced by the whites egsinst the votes where the votes were thrown out Whether this in timidation compelled some persons to vote against their will, or prevented some from attending the polls, it afforded in either case no justification for tha delib erate rejection of ballots by the Beturning Boards. But the statutM of Lbuisiana only authorise proof of intimidation in case where%bargea of violsnee were made in writing by the oommiaaloners of also* tions on the day when the election wm had there. The ohargM were to be in closed to the Board iu the envelope con taining the returns. In a few oases only were charges mada as required. In the rest, evidenoe wm received without a pro per foundation having been laid. Thia evi denoe received consisted iu the maine of affidavits written out by the. clerks and employes of the Beturning Board, with out ever having been seen by the persons purporting to oertify them. There wm therefore no adequate proof of intimida tion. It may be remarked here that the temptation of Kellogg and hia Beturning Board wm very great to manufacture oases of intimidation, for it wm only by them that the Demooratio majority oould be overthrown, and tha eonspiraey be suc cessful. We should not fail to call the attention of the people to the dangerous effect of the dootrine of intimidation in politioa. It disqualifies from voting not only the parties to the act of intimidation, but all those who have voted at the same pre cincts with thed. Two persons may con clude to make a case of intimidation, and thereby oause a pyish casting thousands of votM to be rejeoted. It makes elec tions a farce. It takM a power from the people to^vest it in Beturning Boards. It enables the latter to impose the severest political penalties, disfranchisements, without giving to the persons punished an opportunity of hearing or trial. A re pnblio deserves to lose its liberties if it tolerates such outrages for an hour. By this disregard of law, diaobedienoe of the conrts and contempt of the rights of voters; by their frauds and oonnptioi and usurpations, by their briberiM and perjuries and forgeries, did the conspira tors obtain certificates of election for the Bepublioan candidates in tha Southern States named. From the day that the oertifioatM were issued to the Hayos eleotors in Louisian! i and Florida the country lus been filled with an unprecedented excitement. The people have done little else than engage iduot In the second place, this decision null- fiM an article of the Constitution. . In section 1, article 44, it is provided : “But no Senator or BepreaentaUve' or person holding an offloa of trust or profit under the United BtatM shall be appointed an elector.” If a State ohooees electors who are ineligible, how can this provision be made effeotualf This State, by its aotion, hM refused to repeal it. Manifestly it can than only be enforced by the power authorised to pam upon the vote which the State hM returned. Congress, then, in oounting the vote, must dooide who are and who are not eligible eleotors, facts which oon only be ascertained by evidence aliunde. Any other dootrine abrogates the previous oonstruetion and in effect subetitutM the following: “Senators, Bepresantativea and all persons holding offioM of trust or profit under the United StatM may be appointed eleotors.” In the third place, the doctrine ignores all precedents and roles of morals in ti> eluding evidanoe of fraud submitted. Nothing oan stand whioh is tarnished by fraud. It vitiates everything. It annuls every deed, oenoels every obligation, annuls every oontraot, WELLS 1 CURTIS in discussion as to the fraudulent com of Beturning Boards. In this condition of affairs business has been generally bus pended. Failures have been frequent, and prostration has seized upon nearly every interest in the land. When this excitement was at its hight, Congress assembled. One of its duties was to eount the electoral votes of the States, including Florida and Louisiana. With a view of facilitating the count and providing for| the peaceful perform ance of its duty by Congress, a bill was passed creating an Eleotoral Commission. By that law,the Commission wm to Moer- tam the true and lawful rote of every State. In this labor, it wm to exeroise, as to the hearing of evidenoe and the ex amination of papers, suoh power M Con gress or either houM of CongreM possess ed. In the belief that evidence would be hoard, and that the settlement of the dis puted question of faots would be fairly reached,the CongreM and people aooepted the Commission. How that confidence has been disappointed, how a decision has been made, baaed upon a refusal to con sider the. unfortunate question of dispute, is well known to the oountry. When the certificates from Florida and Louisaina were opened and submitted to the two houses, objec tions were filed to those, presented by the .Hayea electora. Among other grounds of objection, it wsb urged that these cer tificates had been fraudulently and oor- ruptly issued by the Beturning Boards and executives of these States, and as the result of a conspiracy between them and the electors claiming to have been oboaen, and that such oertifioatM had been issued in violation of tha laws of the respective States, and that some of tbs eleotors named therein were ineligible by express provisions of the Constitution of the United States. When these objec tions were made the consideration before the Commission profit was offered to the Commission to sustain them. The Com mission, by a vote of 8 to 7, refused to reoeive the testimony offered, except as to ineligibility as to a single member in Florida. It was voted in the com of Louisiana that the Commission would not hear evidenoe to show that the Beturning Board was an unconstitutional body; that it was not organized as the law requires at the time the vote wm oanvasaed; that it had no jurisdiction to canvaH the eleoto ral vote; that oharges of riot, intim. idation and violence were lalM, and that the Beturning Board knew that faot; that certificates were corruptly and fraudu lently issued; and as a result of conspir acy; and that the vote of the State haa never been oompiled or canvassed. The same rulings substantially ware made in the case of Florida. The Commission also refused to hear proof that at the time of the eleotion in South Oarolina,an- archy prevailed, destroying tha Hapubli- oan form of Government in that State, and that troops were retained there in violation of the Constitution, to interfere with a free choice by the eleotors, so that the lawful vote of the State could not be known. Against these decisions we protest most very judgment. Every tribunal, however or ganized, is bound to regard ovary fraadu- ent transaction m a nullity, however it may come before it, whether directly, in a dependent proceeding, or collaterally. The decision of the highMt tribunal, if procured through fraud, should be treated m of no effect by the humblest oourt in the land. As Mid by a distinguished writer, “It matters not whether judgment impugned hM been pronounoed by an in ferior or by the highMt court of the land; but in all cases alike, it is competent for every oourt, whether inferior or superior, to treat as a nullity any judgment that can be dearly shown to have been ob tained by manifest fraud. It remains for this Commission to diotate that there were eertain tribunals, whioh oould per petrate fraud with impunity, and that there wm one oourt whioh oould not lay its hands upon fraud when brought before it for review. Those exceptional tribu nals were the returning boards of Florida and Louisiana. Theexeeptionaloourtiathe Eleotoral Commission. Fraud turn found an intrenohment from whioh it oannot be driven in a oontest makiog ohoioe of the highMt offloer of ths greatest of repub lics. A dootrine more corrupting in con sequences, more destructive of the purity of eleotion and more threatening to the perpetuity of free government oould not eaiily be suggested. It is sought to justi fy this deoiaion by an appeal to State sovereignty. The argument is that the States ehooBe their eleotors in their sovereign oapadty; their deoiaion oannot be reversed by any other authority. This proposition push' s to its furthest limit the doctrine of Stale rights. The theory of the moat advanced advocates of that school, was only that the States were sovereign m reserved po* - era over tbam, whioh were delegated. It wm oonoeded that the Constitution web supreme. The power to ohooM electoia would not have existed exoept for the Constitution: It wm therefore, a dele gated power. The Legislature of the State chooses tha eleotors by virtue of a Constitutional provision. It is a duty to be performed by the State while in the Union. It oannot perform it before ad mission, nor after the ‘Union is disputed. Can it be possible that there is no power in the Union to determine how the duty hM been performed, and whether in oom- ilianoe with the Constitutional provision. ?o assert this dootrine is tu declare the absolute independence of the States, to earnestly in the name of free and Bepub- lioan government. In the first pTaoe, they struok a fatal blow at the constitu. tional powers of the two houses to eount the eleotoral vote. This power has been exeroised by both houses without dispute from the founda tion of the Government. That evidence should be reached io cases of contested returns seems clear. The principle hM been maintained by the ablMt statesmen the oountry has produoed. It was practice oonfined to principle in aperet session, notably in tha com of BOOT*iAND ANDES.

WELLS A CURTIS, 70 BtlOAD STREET, (Sign of Me Btg Bool.) deny the supremacy of the Oonatitutioc, and to leave the United States powerless against the frand or violence of States, wbioh may foroe a President upon the >eople. The power to review the action of ;he Eleotoral College, seems necessarily to be divided from the nature of a con federated Government. If one party to compact possesses a power, as to ita subject matter, superior to the power del egated by agreement, the oompaot inevit ably fails, for it is impossible for a Con federaoy to exist, unless the jurisdiction of its individual members, m to the pow- era committed to the confederation is subordinated to the larger jurisdiction of the latter. If, for example, M in this oase, one State can receive its functions as to tha election of a President, in violation of the Constitution, without any power in the Union to reverse its aotion, then a Oonstitntion wm unnecessary for delega tion of powers, and the motion may be governed in violation of the very instru ment, whioh crented it. Bat whatever the power of Gongresa, as to authority over the vote of eleotors, it is certain that it is not bound to treat, as valid, a frand' nlent certificate. It matters not how ab solute the sovereignty under whioh a fraud is perpetrated, it oan not reoeive proteo tion, nor be granted recognition. If there be a tribnnal to whioh the certificates are submitted, it is bound to treat them as worthless. The certificates were charged to be fraudulent. The Commission, if it oonntad them, gave them validity. It failed in its duty to hear foots to prevent the anoeese of fraud, even though the cer tificates cams from a sovereignty a hun dred fold greater than Louisiana or Flor ida, by theee methods. Under tha forma prescribed by the law constituting the Eleotoral Commission Bntherford B. HayM hM been deolared eleoted PrMident of the United 8teteB. His title rests upon the disfranchieement of lawful voters, the false certificates of Betnrning offioers aeting corruptly, and the decision of a Commission whioh has refused to bear evidenoe of alleged frand For the first time are the Amerioan peo ple oonfronted with the feet of a President fraudulently eleoted. Hia inauguration will be peaoefnl. In that hoar the most infamous conspiracy of all history will re- oeive its orown. In the exoiting days just past the forbearanoe of the people hM maintained peace. Let it not, however, from this be understood that the frand to be consummated Marob 4 will be eilently acquiesced in by the oountry. Let no hour pass in whieb usurpation forgotten. Let agitation be nnoeHing, that at every opportunity the people may express their abhorrence of the outrage. Let want of oonfldenoe be voted at every election, in Mr. Heyee and his Adminis tration. Both must be controlled by the oonspirators who have elected the one and will organize the other and whatever of good may come from either will always be darkened by the stain upon their title.
