Six Solid FacIs

a cotemporury terseiy states six solid
facts, which it would be well for the Uaion
League Republicans to heed.
l. The war has been perverted from q
lawful aud patriotic purpose to an Adolf
tim crusade. Thepstion has been betrsy-
ed by the Admin is tration in that perver>
sion.
g Law is not enforced. Democrats are
mobbed and murdered, and the courts and
Governors Of States refuse them protection
and redress.
3. The freedom Of elections is destroyed.
The Administration controls elections by
force and fraud and thus closes the eveuue
of peaceful escape from the evils it im-
poses on the nation.
A. The civil is subordinate to the mill
tary authority, and the most cherished and
effectual safeguards provided by the con-
stitution for the protection of the liberties
and rights of the people are broken down,
and despotism reigus.
5. The Democratic party demands that
every right under the constitution shall be
extended to every citizen.
6. /. demands fair and lawful elections
in every place where elections are held
If these demands are cbeyed, there will
not be any civil war in the North. If they
are disregarded and defed, then those who
with force, under cover of official position,
defy law, will themselves be deded.
