uond tHc SouS WISH tO QeStry, tHey HTSC Indu oen. said an old heather. We sometimes wonde over the strange infatuation which permitted thu French to receive Louis Napoleon as Emperor, afte So aefte and bloody struggle as that which fpr a little time gave them the haine of Republican Government. But that infatuation is a stranger enc, which possesses portion of our own land, which for the sake of office party success, s,is- tain course of judicial tyranny, as albitlary and despotic as any edict from the throne Of France Austria. We do not hesitate to pronounce our countrymen mad. Nothing but insanity could tempt the South to the suicidal course she is pursuing and worse tAsa insane is the at the North, who chores his eyes against the Internal Machine prepar- ing by slave holding politicians and Northern de rnagogucs, for the annihilation of our Republican forM of Govetn.,ent.
 The decision of the Supreme Court claims pow CT greater than te vote of the people. It to control both the President and the legislative branches of the Government, and also the Govern ment of the States It is in fact, absolute dcs- potism, concealed behind our republican institu- tsns possessed of the most extensive and coclcing powers of a grasping ccntraization
 The Middle Ages aloBe present a picture of such o"SoI1hB a1eutHptiCu. u IS clGttIJCQ Dy tHC decisions of the Pope who in the general darkness of the age, assumed to make laws for kings and empires, and bestow upon lis favoiites islands and continents
 According to this decision, an individual no mat ter how wealthy, how intellectual, if tainted with African blood, cannot sue in the United States Court
 The argument assumes also the right to over rule the decision of any state Courts wherein the parties are fractured with negro blood. There ase in the city of New York and New Orleans ssvc- ral celorod men of large property, men who from their pursuits are liable to collision with citizens of adjoining states and iii such way as to render said Court, the only fitting place for pr.scrution From the jurisdiction of the same they expelled and If they should be so fortunate as to obtain iudg- ment in their favor in any State Court we feel as sured some judicial proceedings would be instituted which would carry the case to the supr,me Court, where the decision would be reversed.
 This proceeding, aiming at the heart of State in- stiutions, is the darkest feature of the tragcdy-r tragedy it is Iniquitous as is the law prescribing the liberty and rights of colored citizens, it is scarcely to be regarded, when brought into contrast with the argument for the overthrow of State rights
 To this portion of the decision, we would excite every voter to investigate Do not be blinded by the argument gotten up by tho so called Democm- ey' "at thus IS matter regarding nlsgcrs alone, gotten up, too, oh the eve of elect,on-put read it, remembering that is the law for the Executive, the law for Congress the law for the States and the law for the people. Remember that it is vet warin from the lips of the Chief Justice of the United States. and reads thus -" No man tinctu1ed with African blood, can sue in the Courts of the United States of America.'
 The Republican party is utterly opporcd to such an argument, and denies the right of Court to in- stitutc such tlecrec In the cumpaiuu of last op- tumn, tpropheslcd this decision for the future it is now hero, inangurated with President whose first act is to appoint man of extreme Southern prin. ciplcs for the Governor of Kansas.
 Frcemen of the good old G mmonwcath VIC love , remember these things. The Republican party prc. sents to you ticket which it dcehs honest and re- liable Let no lack of effort your ta,t defeat it. Let no local, no private precdice bias your min,l Remember the ohject-alone keep that in view and for the interest of your chldrchs chdten cus your vote The time is short-defcate,l, and the first stone from the noble fertilization you assisted to raise last autumn, is knocked.away, and which, if overthrown, will bury beneath it the wrecks of en- pire more glorious than Rome eyer knew, more noble than the artist Greek ever created fin imagery which was bought by the blood of patriots, and be- queathed so you sacred treasure, which you shall defend from the sacriegious hands that would crush 1t 10 atoms. 4
