viously conferred"
No one in particular objects to strenth-
suiug the Government and giving it all
the support it needs in this time OF trial,
but the idea Of placing such immense
confidence in any one man ~ to endorse
oil his unconstitutional acts each and
every proceeding, and that in bundle,
without investigation, without a. much
- Offering word Of wholesome inquiry,
Il rubbing il in pretty thick. Only look
ct it; al the acts and proceedings Incl
dent 70 calling out the militia" are to be
made law. II IN. illegal contract has
been given out, and il it has been ille-
gslly performed, the act must be lao be-
cause it is incident upon calling out
the militia - The President il oil white
washed over by it, aud all the Govern
mont officials Of military persuasion, are
eudorsed in oil their deeds, be they good,
bad or Indifferent, and no questions ask
ed. Would not such ~ enactment be
be direct bid for further villianny :?
Whist sort Of protection does such legis-
lation afford How long can our coun-
try exist under such management Such
servility, such wanting Of manhood is
most sickcning The President did
thus and 20, and under his direction this,
that and the other act was performed
by different military officials-but it
would be treason to investigate those
acts! Down on your marrow bones, y,
members Of Congress, and say amen to
everything that has been done. Call it
al right even if you have reason to ex-
pect it is all wrong. Don't call any act
into question for fear Of being spotted
NJ q traitor.
Is this the kind Of Government our
Fathers gave us' Is this the style Of
Liquidation calculated to make Govern
meut strong and lasting? Let nothing
be taken for granted in Congress. Let
no public acts Of any man, OF any party
" investigated. We trust Mr.. Wilson's
bill will not receive the countenance Of
Congress without some salutary amend
meats.
