ton of popular support, or rather as n
condition for the support of the Demo
cratic Party. was simply the Restora'
ton Of the Union, II sought nothing
beyond that, and while we. with others,
contcnded that the coercion OF States
was unconstitutional, the great maj iori-
tv Of the Northern people gave their
adhesion to the war policy, and so the
first act of lsurpation was perpelrated'
In less than year, the policy oil the
Destructiycs was revealed and in two
years it was decided upon emancipation
ms war measure. Like the war itself,
this was of course unconstitutional, an
atrocious act Of usurpation and rob
berry by which whole people were at
one fell swoop deprived Of property
to the value Of three thousand millions
Of dollars but it WAS "mlIitary ne
cessitv," so-called, and although the
true men of the country protested a
gainst it as q gigantic wrong, It was
carried into effect. In the meantime
arbitrary arrests were the order of the
dav, and when an attempt was made at
election times to get a iuir expression
Of public opinion, the cocrced vote OF
the soldiers was used to ncutralle or
nuliify the Democratic majorl!es,-
This was tiagrantv Y done in the Prcsl-
dental contest of 1864, when MCClel-
Ian was cheated out Of the Presidency,
and his siopponent electe'lby fraudulent
returns. Duped by the trickery and
double-dealing of their political oppo-
ncnts, the Democracy were powcrless
to insist upon the enforcement OF the
terms upon which they had given their
countcnancc and support TO "the war
for the UUion' They had iHrnishcd
more than their share of the "mlIitary
contingent" but they were "counted
ont" in the distribution Of political ia
vors. They had, in a word, trusted
their INSCRIPTIONS political opponents,
and they were betrayed. Had they
followed The advice Of their true lead
ers, they would have maintained their
supremacy '9 ''c '''' v ". w.. n''s :,,n,
