Democratic Duty.

no right to to be in Washington

sents the minority. 1t therefore
makes no difference, under what
theory it assumes to rule: for no true
American ought to hold Office or
assume to make laws under COM
bination of Northern States, seeking
unjust rule over the Southern, and
surely no one not opposed to true
principles of republicanism in our
Government would consent to held
Office against the known will and
wishes of the majority.
But this entire faithlessncsS to
the spirit of the Constitution. to the
principles of self government, of a
Union in spirit, as we'll as in fact.
which dares through the trickcrv of
ballot controlled by the bullet. to
usurp dominion over the people of
the North as well as the people Of
the South, violates and destroys the
vital principles Of self-governmcnt
and arc onl y means to an end, the
enfranchising the most degraded and
Ignorant element of our society, the
social ruin of the people as we'll as
OF democratic government, the pois-
oning Of the Caucasian blood, as
we'll as the destruction of civil lib

The party that succeeded in 1850
had clear and specific purpose to
accomplish, to reverse and set aside
the bred Scott decision. and secure
not only Impartial Freedom but
impartial suffrage fer four mil
lions Of negroes, in short to deform
the government Of a Washington,
Jefferson, and jackson into mon
grcl concern, where degraded and
disgraced whites should with dis
cased niggers be amaleamated into
a body and together enjoy ''impar-
tial Suffrage What monstrous
social catac'y sm. because the men
Of the south refused to become the
victims of this horrid delusion and
awful madness against their race,
an army to be followed by federal
bayonets in time Of profound peace

This is the entire case self-govern-
mcnt, the constitution, the Union
of states. law, liberty, everything
sacred to it's mama, ovcrthrown and
tranp'ed down to carry out the vain
and impracticable ideas Of impair
tial freedom and suffrage, thus dcs-
troying our civil institutions and
indeed our civilization wrought out
through the inccssant toll and strife
of centuries.
The duty Of the democratic party
and indeed Of all sane men is as
clear and specific at this juncture as
events have shown, was the object of
he mad-men, when they inaugurat-
cd the scheme to Yeyolutionize the
government. They should demand
that the party in power heed this
truth: THAT this government
was made by white men, on the
white basis for white men, and that
every man wko proposes to debauch
and destroy it by Including four mill
lions of negroes in our system is
traitor to his kind as we'll as his
country, and that they abandon the
hidcous lunacy and administer the
government as did the earlier adj
ministrations,' and if this did not
bring the mad men to their senses
then resist their schemes by what
ever means would prevent their ac
complishment. Instead of this, We
all know what has been, and what
is now; vast armies were raised and
are now stationed in the south to
destroy the government of l776, and
force negro suffrage and equality on
the country.
But this will not happen. Mad
men may rule for the time, but heav-
