FORWARD !!

rbe history of our country for the last six yesrs, is
record of successive Democratic predictions steadily
falsied BIZ events Since tho pro-Slavefy party full
filled it's own prophecy by inaugurating the Rebellion
il has never failed 10 anticipate and foresee exactly
what did not come to pass.
IT first proclaimed that any attempt Of tho Lincoln
Administration to enforce the laws and maintain the
authority Of the Union in the South would provoke
resistance aud civil war in the North; but when the
time came for action it did not dare to make good ts
inenaces.
n TT insisted that the Shareholders Rebellion could
never DO put down; ard that any attempt SO TO sub
due It must inevitably fail; yet the Rebellion has
b,s,, utterly demolished by downright hard knocks
IL declared, when Mcclellan was superseded that
we should have no more success I'LL ne was iec@eu
to command; but he not recalled ana our Armies
werc led by others to decisive victory
1t croaked in all our that the policy OF hnian'
cipaon was the deathknell of the Unions but events
proved it the Unions salvation.
II declared that if negroes allowed to fight for
the Union. White men would not; but they would
and did. even when Blacks charged and fought be-
side them, as at Wagner. Helena and Port Hudson
II declared the War for the Union failure, and on
that ground demanded the Peoples votes the People
refused to give them, and fought out the War to a
glorious issue.
1t warned our people that if Lincoln were reelect-
ed, the War would be interminable and dsunion
fixed fact: yet Lincoln ,cGs reelected and the War
soon brough. to an end.
1t sought to irighten our farmers with prospect oil
endless conscrptions and National Debt that would
deprive their farms OF all value if the Republicans
we're not ousted from power in '6i yet, though they
were not, CONSUMPTION soon ceased and tho Debt Is
being rapidly paid of without essentially reducing
the gaue of farms in any loyal State.
And now this detected. exposed false prophet comes
before the People With thousand fhlShcd predictions
burned into its forehead. and says: Turn out the
Republicans-yoto them down-depriye them OF
power-or the Union will never DO restored, and
new civil war will be insugurated."
Who believes tho croaking ravon' Who cares for
its selfish and doleful representations Who does
not know that il will have TO make civil wax If there
is to be one Republican Unionists onward to the
struggle and tho victory

The example of the President in affirming the IN.
constutionality Of the Civil Rights Bill has been too
generally followed by Southern courts. Judge
Magruder of the Circuit Court at Annapolis has
recently refused to adpt negro testimony and il is
thought that this precedent will be adopted by the
Courts generally. In contrast TO this illegal ruling Of
Judge Magruder is the conviction of white maG Of
mansaughter solely upon negro testimony in, Mssis-
sipp. The apprenticeship system in Maryland ap-
pears TO be but new form of Slavery. Altogether,
Mr.. Johnsons policy has apernicOus influence on the
State and discoursges its loyal citizens.

If there is one ofense for which We should like to

of scandals on the private lives of public There
is a class of creatures who delight in inyenting

Reconstruction under the Constitution as 1t Is,
csmor the Rebel Coniederates Before the war, the
whites in the South voted for three-6fths OF their
negroes. Now, under "the Constitution as it Ii"
they would vote for fivefths-for the whole of them
They ask for premium upon treason and rebellion
Under the Constitution before the war, the Rebels
favored by Slavery paid three-ffths OF the taxes
But the slaves having become citizens for the purpose
of taxation their taxes are assessed on themselves
and the former masters have shufled off the three
ffths. Reconstructed" by Andrew johnson. the
Rebels would gain 40 per cent in representation and
get rid of go per cent. of taxation Surely the voters
of the North aud West will stand no such representa-
ton withoat taxation" They will demand the Con-
stitutional Amendment.

Every dollar of the Internal Revenue tax paid by
the North and, West is load upon the industry and
resources of loyal men, imposed by Rebels. The
Rebels themselves surely should tighten this load by
bearing their proportion OF the expenses OF the war;
johnson, when placed in Office by Booth, found the
Rebel States under law Of Congress justly putting
on them the necessity of bearing that proportion.
The Government taxes were being collected in tho
South. johnson issued an order that their collection
should bs stopped With imperial usurpation, be has
released the South from taxation, and overthrown
law of the land, aud defed the authority OF the
Peoples Congress.

Andrew johnson has exescised the appointing power
solely to break down higher and coordinate branch
OF the Government to deprive it of its righttul au
thority, aud to nulfy the will Of the people which it
was elected to represent. This. high crime and mis-
demeauor is approved by every Copperhead running
for Office either State or Federal and will be sus-
tanned by every candidate elected to Congress on tho

this appointing power in defiance of the will Of the
