The Texas Republican. [volume] (Marshall, Tex.) 1849-1869, 1867-05-25

ing Of the causes which led 10 The
recent sansuinary struggle between
the North and the Sosth, among
other causes enumcrstes the fol-
lowing; The Republic had fallen
from its high c..a.e demsgogueisu
obtained in the councils Of party !,
its good men had retired to their
homes, corruption lounged familiar

the times. If"the Republic, is not

and weltering in the hest blood Of lib
criy itself, it would be dificult to
imagine it in a condition so dcp,o-
rable II demagogues do not now

trust We may never live to zee its

not now lounge familiarity in it,

spared view Of a picture sufficiently
dark and fcrbidding to fulfill the
definition; and IL there arc any State
rights or Constitutional authority
left in the laws Of the land, We think
the time has most certainly come
when they should be exhibited, and
the whole country reconstructed in
accordance with their teachings and
requirements. The truth is simply
this; the pulse of liberty never did
beat no low and fecbly as it docs
to-day; there never has been the
time, in the history of this nation,
when the affairs Of government were
SO completely in the hands of dem.
sgogucs, who out Of nothing, provi.
ded they are fed, clad, and fattencd
at public expense, propose to rear
the proudest supsrstructure to liber-
ty and popular freedom that ever
gladdened tho eyes Of men, but
which in the end will prove the char
mel house Of our most cherished
rights, the msusoleum Of all that
frecmen cherish and revere, and the
blackened tomb Of national existence,
freedom and prosperity. Corruption,
naked, nauseous, and shameless, now
shows It's rotten and hateful person

its polluting toach has stained with
horrid spots the snce pure, white err.
mine Of the Judiciary, and has be-
come " contemptibly familiar " with
those who should be far beyond the
reach Of its contsgion and State
rights and constitutional authority,
once strong and mighty pillars in
the temple Of freedom, have crumbled
into dust and ashes, over which the
General waves his FURNISHED sword,
and through which he commands
his subalterns to march, with their
iron heeled sandals, no; once paus.
