deed Radical men and extreme radical
are fast driving us, as people.
towards gulf whose depths are unknown.
The President Of the United States, It seems,
has been made a call-boy Of by the so.caIed
National Congress. When he, from his DO
sition, sees fit to issue an order to an infe-
rior officer, that officer, by the impudence
pumped into him by designing men and an
INSCRIPTIONS assembly, has the audacity to /
offer written rebuke to his commander; I
and more, he is applauded for so doing by
ieaiing men. When the President deems it
necessary to enforce the law he swore toup-
mold and protect he is coolly told that he
cannot do 1t, that he is doing what he ouobt
not to dol All this means trouble. and to
trouble it will lead So far as law and order
ls concerned, this country is a chaos. Civil
liberty is thing Of the past and on its
ruins is reared dictation, tyranny and OPP
preston. 1t has even come to pass that a
gallant State Of the old Union. one that
proved her devotion to the last. has been de.
MED her unforfeited rights, and is made to
crouch at the feet Of the radical beast Ken
lucky is not allowed to fill her vacant seats
IN the halls of the nation. Ten Southern
states are Frustrated in The dust The East
ern and Western States arc kindling with
rage toward each other The aristocracy Of
the manufacturing districts are determined
to keep their feet upon the necks of the toll
ing millions Of the west who are gathering
IN their strength to throw off the remorse-
less grasp Of the bonded and Illegally pro
tected holders of 7-3Os Radicalism at the
North, confined to no particular locality,
and radicalism here is striving to strangIe
the voice Of iberty-ioying men in the South.
and to do this, odious laws are enacted and
base tools selected to carry the infamous
work along until it eliminates in the com
plete transformation of every thing that goes
to show that the Anglo-Saxon race is supe-
rior to the fat-head Indian or the thick
Hped, brutal and beastly Congo negro. Out
of this turmoil and strife threatening clouds
are beginning to rise, and muttering thun-
ders can be heard issuing from the gulf of
depravity into which so much corruption is
massed. Although this gloomy picture is
drawn, and it is true one too, still we have
hopes that the storm may be driven back.
But it must be done by a master hand,
backed by the good and true The state of
chaos in which our national affairs are in,
IN our humble opinion, win continue until
the next Presidential election takes place,
and even then, if the rightman is not found,
matters may be made worse than they are
now As we view the political condition it
stands thus: The masses Of the people have
no confidence in the ruling departments Of
the nation a great change is demanded
people are sick and tired of what seems to
be endless and useless strife; wholesome
laws are needed; equal taxation is demand
ed, and useless expenditures DEPRECATED
Before these wants and demands are COM
piled with, narrow-minded political leaders
and sectional caucusses are to be utterly dis
carded, and as they 90 down a great ques-
ton, which is now slumbering in the minds
of three-ffths Of the American people, must
be put fairly and squarely before them, and
upon which they will most assuredly ride
into haven of peace. Tree trade and
equal taxation is the keynote Of victory
over the combined elements Of knavery and
oppression. Let the question come Place
the peoples candidate for the Presidency
upon this plank, and he'll beat back the
storm that threatens US as a nation
