That shsy viii regard rs Is supporting
the Government, Whenever we denounce
shoss who you'd aap it, foundations b
making illegal arrests-denying TO those
accused Of crime their constitutional
rights, or by abridging the freedom Of
speech on al the press. Men who would
do thsss things, whekhsr they occupy high
places or low ones-whether they reside
in EasAiagssn City. e. Council Biuds---
whether they year shoulder straps, o.
work in the trenehes-no matter who
they are, are in rebellion against the Gov

and more dangerous to liberty and free

people ever lost thsaT liberties all At ones
and in time Of peace. Ii has only besE
in times of war and great excitement tina
the people have unaWares and az the,
supposed, in aid Of the Government, haE'
resigned thar liberties into the hands 0.
despotic power. To warn the people o.
the United States agAipas tbs gradual ca
cFoaehmants upon their rights, aad Ia
gradual overthrow of the Government, il
our duty as free man and a public Jour
aAlist. This we sAall attempt to do, *
long As We hare our liberty and freedom
not IS our Republican enemies say, be
cause We Ars opposed TO the Government
but because we love, revere, and rsgsrt
cur Government a. the best ever foTmet
by mortal man, and we would cherish anc
support it with our latest breath.
1t is time that the people Of the UniteC
States awake from their dangerous slna
Der, that they be convinced that their lib
critics and Government are in danger, no
from an open foe, bat from those who an
der the pretense of supporting and main
tanning it, are destroying one BY one til
prices of which it is constructed.
The remedy is in their hands. Elec
Congressman, who will say to the Admin
istrstoEs Of the Government, "You shal
no longer tresp@ss upon the people,
rights. The Constitution In all Of it
parts must be held sacred and not be Vi
ols&ed, under NO emergency, or for nj
cause whatever, will we eounsen&nes al
violation Of thai sacred instrument" L
men are elected who will say this, &nt
who have the nerve to prefer an inpessh'
ment against all officers who shall Violas,
the Constitution our liberties are safe
our Government will be supported anC
saved.
