Downfall of the siump,ails.


The first article of the new constitution,
after deipirg boundaries. was in these
words: -
THAT we hold these truths to be self
evident; that all men are created equal;
that they are endowed by the Creator with
certain inalienable rights; that among
these are life, liberty, and the pursuit Of
happiness, and of acquiring, possessing
and protecting property. That to secure
these rights, governments are instituted
among men, deriving their just powers
from the consent Of the governed.
SEC. 2. That all power is inherent in the
people. and all free governments are found
ed on their authority. and Instituted fer
their peace, safety and happiness.
SEC 3 That all men have a natural and
indefeasihle right to worship Almighty
God according to the dictates of their own
consciences; that no man can Of right be
compelled to attend. cree. or support any
place of worship. or to maintain any min
istry against his consent; that no human
authority can, in any case whatever, con-
troll or interfere with the rights of con-
science and that no preference shall ever
be given by law to any religious establish

s.. The Stumptails voted down all those sec
tions, and deceived scores Of thousands who
had no opportunity to see the constitution
to vote them down.
The Stumptails called those principles a
swindle.
History tells US that in the days of the
| ancient federal domination, it was asserted
and many were made to believe that il
Jefferson's Democratic party succeeded, the
bibles would all be burnt.
In the election just past, the StumptaiIs
declared and made many believe that il
the new constitution was adopted, the
right of trial by jury would he abolished
and yet the new constitution contained
these express and emphatic words:
SEC. 6. That the right of trial by JURY
shall remain inviolate."
The Stumptails declared and made man,
people believe that the new constitution
was secession instrument. made by seces
sionists and intended to enable this Stat,
to secede from the Union, and yet in it i
this emphatic section:
SEC 81. That the people of this Stat
regard the union of the States, under tn
federal Constitution, as permanent and in
disso!uble. from which no State has con
stitutional right to withdraw or secede."
The Stumptails induced thousands VIII
had no opportunity of seeing the new con
stitution to vote against that section.
In other words the Stumptails deceive
thousands to vote against the Declaratio
of Independence, against religious liberty
and in favor Of secession.
How long will it be before the doom {
the Stumptails will be sealed forever.
