MINORITY RULE.

The late electioos--subject as
they are of congratulation among
the Radicals-show that the Dem
ocraic party is, to-day, a majority
in the country. A minority rule
under the forms ofthe Constitution,
which it every day violates. This
is done by the exclusion of a num-
Der of States from all voice IN the
Government. Every State repre-
sented as is its right, and in posses
sion of its full Constitutional pow
er, and the Radical party ceases to
exist. They understand this and
play their cards accordingly. 1t is
a desperate game they are playing.
The majority must and will rule in
this country. They may extend
their lease of power by imposing
conditions on the Southern States
which they know cannot be com
piled with, and by so amending the
Constitution as to exclude from all
participation in the affairs of Gov
eminent, large class upon whom
they cannot rely for supportm this
revolutionary scheme. Power thus
gained cannot long be welded.
There will be a terrible recoil, and
The Vinton record. [volume] (M'arthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1866-1891, 1866-12-06

the men who now assume to rule
by vutus of their "loyalty," will
one day be humble petitioners for
pardon.
The Democracy, undaunted by
successive defeats, will, in the end,
achieve victory, and the principles
of our Government be re-asserted.
The Southern States cannot always
be excluded from a voice in the
Government. They are entitled to
every right which is possessed by
their sister States in the North,
The Radical party, refusing this,
should be consistent, and, in the
language of one Of our departed
statesmen: "Blot from the span.
gled banner of the Union the bright
stars which glitter to their names
and leave the stripes behind, fiji
emblems of their degradation"

as yet, failed to answer for the lit
lie grievances she made us suffer
during the war, A hope is ex-
pressed that speedy and satisfacto-
ry arrangements will be made with
both countries.
The financial condition of the
country is reported as being, all
things considered, very satisfacto-
ry. The message expresses the
opinion, from the estimates, that
the taxes may be reduced, and yet
the National debt be extinguished,
within the next twenty-five years,
There are few minor points
touched upon, and the message
closes with the desire that an effort
be made to "preserve harmony be-
tween the coordinate Departments
Of the Government, that each in its
proper sphere may cordially coop
crate with the other in securing
the maintenance of the Constitu.
ton, the preservation of the Union
and the prosperity of our free in
stitutions."

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.


We are unable, from want of
both space and time, to lay before
our readers, this week, the Presi-
dents Message. 1t is a document
that will command universal and
earnest attention throughout the
country. Dignifed and moderate
in tone, clear and unanswerable in
its logic, and patriotic in its firm
adherence to the Constitution, it
answers every wish of those to
whom country is dearer than party
ties. There are signs of great care
and study in its preparation; this,
more especially, IN the first part of
the message, where he claims Tor
the Southern States their Constitu-
tional right of representation. Ev-
cry sentence has its condensed
meaning. On the ground of pub
lie policy as well as constitutional al
right, he urges their admission to
the halls of Congress. That they
are not Provinces, nor Territories,
and subject to treatment as such,
he shows by the consistent acts of
the Executive, Legislative, and Ju-
dicial Departments of the Govern
ment during and since the war,
recognizing them as States, with
powers only suspended by the oper-
ations of the war. His message is
a clear exposition and an able de-
fense of the policy OF immediate
restoration, which he has consist
emily maintained. With no allus-
ions to past differences, he urges, as
is his duty, that the Southern States
be restored to their every Constitu-
tional right.
The message briefly alludes to
the reports Of the several Depart
ments, and then proceeds to our
foreign relations, which are evi-
IDENTIFY not very satisfactory. France
has failed to withdraw any portion
of her troops from Mexico, accord.
ing to agreement, and England has,
