The yeas and nays being demanded upon the fifth resolu-
tion, which is as follows:

And be it further Resolved, That we hold, that the command
issued by the Governor in his proclamation,—"Let no man leave
the precincts of his own ward, unless ordered to do so by com-
petent authority, thus he will promote the fairness of the elec-
tion, and avoid the just retribution that will be dealt to those vag-
rant emissaries of disorder, who wander from polls to polls for
the purpose of illegal voting, and to deter peaceful citizens from
the exercise of their rights," was without authority of law, a
flagrant invasion of that personal liberty so dear to every Ameri-
can heart, and, sustained as it was by such an exhibition of in-
tention to use military force, an act of despotism unparalleled in
the annals of our country.
