pTetense that it Is necessary tor the prOtection
of the negro. This will require heavy appro-
priations, and heavy appropriations necessitate
additional taxation, and additional taxation
means directly or indirectly higher prices for
provisions, clothing, fuel, house rent and all
the other necesssries of lie. Hence, we repeat
to keep the radicals IN power is to keep labor in
perpetual slavery to capital, aud to oppress the
masses OF the '9oyaln North in one sense, quite
as severely as 1t 0ppresses the "un-recon-
structed' South. We must all be hewers of
wood and drawers OF water for the Freedmen's
Bureau-High Tariff tf-GreenDack Lords of New
England and Pennsylvania. In the contingency
we me contemplating, that is what 1t will come
to at last.
But this is not all; If the Jacobins are con-
tinued IN power, the military reoccupation of
the Southern States will be unavoldable; and
that means further appropriations for military
contingencies. To keep standing army in that
Bureau, but the troops will be sent nevertheless,
and the money Will be voted, as sure as there is
n sun in the heavens, If the desttuctiyes Can see
their way to controlling majority in the next
Congress. Ihat standing army will be offcered
chiefly by loyal LeagueTs, and while operating
to discourage the Union feeling among the
Southern people, it will also be employed as q
political engine with reference to the next
laboring population here in the North, or any
where out OF Massachusetts, Maine, and Yer
mont, are prepared TO have their hard earnings
taxed Tor purposes of that description They
hlC PSltCClly WluluR 10 pay Jnelr proportion OF
all the legitimate expenses OF Government but
we do not believe they are ready to be thus re-
morselessly bled Tor the benefit OF the radical
shCulder-straps any more than for the benefit Of
Massachusetts scbool-marms. But If the revo-
lulonists carry the tall elections. we may as
well get ready tor the bleeding. The loyal Gov
ernors say we shall have to submit, and the
loyal Governors-tor once-are right.
Again. If the revo,utionists are not beaten
this fall, they will be very likely to accept the
TACT as popular endorsement of their wicked
and ruinous policy, and under that inspiration
they VIII endeavor to impeach and remove the
President. The effect of this proceeding upon
the country, all things considered can be easier
imagined than described. 1t would excite the
public mind everywhere to q fearful PITCH
under the Influence OF which all the maCerial
interests of the country would severely suffer.
Government credit would be impaired, private
enterprise woald be paralyzed, with the Crea-
tlon OF so much debt ana uncertainty as to the
future as would be productive OF the most
calamitous consequences to trade and COM
merCe and the general business of the country.
In crises of that character it so happens that
the worst and earliest sufferers are those who
are least able to bear it. The merchant, tue
shIpowner, the banker, the builder, the real
estate sowner, would all experience is effects,
it is tue; but the real blow wohld tall upon
the day laborer, and upon all who earn their
daily bread by the sweat Of their face. 1t was
so in times past, and so it will be again.
The question, therefore, may be asked Can
the country atioId to retain the radicals IN
Office Can the merchant afford it Can the
mechanic or laborer? Can anybody?
