American citizen. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1864-1890, 1867-11-23
THE ONWARD WAVE.

ism, the great enemy OF the Union,
is overcome and destroyed. Every
State which has held an election
since the triumph of the people il
Connecticut has followed in the path
which this gallant little State took
and all have placed themselves side
by side with her, a bulwark in de.
fence of the Constitution and the
laws. All of then have uttered, in
tones of thunder, their solemn pro
test against the uSurpationS of the
Radical party and a mutilated Radi.
cal Congress.
The great Empire State of New
York has now spoken, and her voice
and vote have shaken to its very
base Radicalism, which, indeed, APP
pears now to the eye of the Ameri,
can citizen only the wreck and ruin,
the pierced and shattered remnant of
its former powerful and defiant self.
Its own inSOence and overbearing
tyranny and boastful disregard of
the oathS which it had taken to sup
port and obey the Constitution, and
maintain the laws made in purSu-
anCe thereof, have destroyed it. Its
doom is severe: but it is the fruit
and harvest of what it had SOwn. 1t
is such as will ever inevitably follow
the course of systematic lawleSsneSS
and crime, which the Radicals have
pursued when the people, to whom
they are amenable, waIien tOa acute
sense, with. no lingering doubt be.
hind, of what that course has been.
All hail to the mighty AID redeem
ed State of New York, and to her
sister States. who With her have sent
up to Heaven their mighty condem-
nation Of organized treason to the
Constitution and to the land. and of
those who have betrayed the nation
in the hour her eXtre nifty and dis

sense of peril of Il trusting and out,
ragged people! All hail to the SpIen-
