On leaving your town recently, friend
handed me copy Of the to!'m'bia Co"n-
/ y Republican. On my return home find
| ing few leisure moments to examine its
contents, my attention was arrested by a
communication under tbs heading of THE
Thirty-stventh Congress-What it Die" "
| CURIOSITY induced me to look into the con-
tents of the said letter, which the editor
Of the Republican seemed heartily to sp-
prove, and TO my amusement he eulogizes
the entire action Of the late (delunot) Con-
gress, and boasts Of the following as some
Of the more prominent of its enactmen,s :
l. A banking system, to which the old
United States Bank was indeed can obso-
lete idea
g. A tariff, in comparison with which
Henry Clays would be considered Free
Trade.
g. Az increase Of the regular srBy, of
which even the most infatuated of the
Pointers would have never dreamed.
T. A Capitalization of power, such as
Hamilton might have ealogised as msgsiI-
icent.
s. That Freedom for which echo Old
Man Eloquent plead SO warm y.
These are the gfossed measures OF the
late Republican Congress- Every one OF
them-exceptipg, perhaps, the Srd--are
in direct opposition to the wishes Of the
American people. Aud, these are the
boast Of Repubhcanisn.
No mention is made Of any violations OF
Fundamental laws OF constitutional prer rog-
atives. These things they would willingly
cover under the cleok Of oblivion. They
have not the honesty to tell the people Of
any of the Outrageous sots of the late Ab-
ol,Aos CongreSs--the NEST disloyal set
Of soovndrels that ever disgrsced the Ma
tiopala Capitol-aBd shat the ecua,ry will
only be relieved from its accumulated and
sccursed wrcngs when the Democracy
shall have arisen--as they are everywhere
doipg--in the majesty Of their power and
wired from the records Of the country The
infamy of the Lincoln Administration, snt
the usurpstions of his pet Abolition Ucu-
grcss.
The Ncw York Express reviews Ii,
proceedings of the late Congress, b,
which the revolution has been completed
and most truthfulls ssys:
Congress has enacted four acts which
utterly subvert The whole form and FRAN,
of this Governme nt:
LIST. In the delegation to the President
the power at will TO suspend the writ o.
hajeds corpus, iu States rot ia rebellion
nor Invaded.
I'd, The Copscrpton Acs, which put
under his command, at will, to take any
where, any man and to put him under
any command out of the State he lives in
Sd. The Bank and Loan Bill, til,
union Of 'the Purse and tie Sword, -
which gives him supreme command oycl
millions and millions of men and none y
4h, The Indemnity Act,-legalisin!
ell the aNegnI acts Of the President, anC
constituting Abraham Lincoln Dictator
General, which act the 'bloody Sena
tor" PomerOy, Of Kansas, then in th,
chair, declared passed, without vote
whilst Democrats were speaking on th
question
Under these acts no white man has AM
political rights, or even security for hi
liberty. The Republic ceases to east
AND IN ITS STEAD IS SUBSTITUTED !
CENTRAL DESPOTIsM and all thcs
things are approved and lauded by fa5e
mon John!
in a subsequent number of the Rpub
hican, also observe, that this same DR.
John denounces the loyalty Of Senate
BuchaIew. Coward-like, he printed
speech the Senator aerer ute, ed, anC
shrinks from re-printing those letters II
DID WRITE.
Even more In this organ Of riot an(
violence, he denounces law abiding mer
as "tra5tOrS anil copPehealls," for DARN!
to exercise the right of free discussion
and at the same time insults constiu
tional (reomon by bearing at the head Q
his sheet, as its false motto, Gree Speech
a Free Press, Free Soil and Freedom
A DEMOCRAT.
