is but the logical sequence of the Demo
cratic doctrine and practice of the last few
years, and We expect to see them stand up
without finehing. 1t is also proposed TO
establish system of espionagei in the South
ern States. something similar to that exist
ing in the despotisms of Europe, only a great
deal worse. Something of the kind already
exists, but it is not efficient enough. And
so it is proposed that the Legislatures enact
law creating military companies in each
county, who shall have power to arrest and
try all suspected persons, and hang them up
