CAMPAIGN POST.

NJ>'THE TINE HAS COME FOR ALL WHO LOVE
THEIR COUNTRY TO BAND TOGETHER AGAINST THE
JACoB1Ns."
The truth of the above cannot be fairly dis
puted. The Radicals, by gaining control of
power at Washington, prolonged the late war
at least two years beyond the period necessary
to crush. the rebellion, restore the supremacy of
the Constitution and unite all the States in har-
monious action under the authority of the Gen
eral Government. More than one hundred
thousand graves were filled with Northern SOL
diers by the unjustifable procrastination of the
war, and an unprecedented national debt incur
red to rest as burden upon the present popu-
lation and future generations of patriotic citi-
zens. Three years ago the war was ended by
the triumph of our national arms. The ability
to restore the Union, curtail expenditures, eX-
act honesty in public officers, revive the sources
OF business, render justice to military service
and secure general prosperity, was in Congress,
where the Radical party held more than two
thirds of its members to its bidding. And what
is the result? The country distracted-military
dictation controlling one-third Of it-expenses
diminished-enormous taxation weighing
down neutrality-suspicious. by one branch OF
Government over the other branches, and a
bold attempt made to convert the very genius
of our Republican Institutions into a Congress
sional despotism that defes the restraints of
the fundamental law of the land and tramples
upon the rights of the citizen guarded by its
provisions. The rulers guilty of these cruel
outrages have so long abused with impunity
their positions that all sense of responsibility to
the people is derided by them, and they assume
the right to govern as they please-as Kings
claim to hold their thrones-by the will of Pro-
violence.
To rescue the country from the grasp of these
evil-doers- arrogant workers of mischief-the
people of the United States will have an oppor-
tunity in November next; and in order to rem
der them fully sensible Of the necessity Of exer-
cising their rights to that end-exposing the
attempts that will be made by the Radicals to
bolster up bad cause by artful means-the
truth should be plainly set before every voter.
No more effectual way to accomplish this can
be adopted than by facilitating the circulation
of Conservative and Democratic papers and
documents. Therefore, epropose to contrib
ute to this work as far as we are capable, by
publishing the CAMPAIGN POST, which will
Zealously advocate the election Of the Demo-
cratic nominees for the offices of President and
Vice. President, and be devoted to the dissent
nation of such political information and discus
sion as will tend to inspire the population OF
the country with determination to relieve
themselves from the reckless partisanship which
has eopardiZed not only their material interests,
but shaken the very foundations of the Govern
ment framed by Washington, Jefferson, and
their compatriots.
We solicit aid in extending the circulation OF
the CAMPAIGN POST from all those who de-
sire to see accomplished the reform so much
needed to ensure the return of peace, prosperity
and honesty in the Government, and the pre-
dominance of that patriotism which seeks the
public good.
The first number of the CAMPAIGN POST
will be published Immediately after the adjourn
ment of the Convention which meets July 4th
The second number will be issued soon after, to
be followed by numbers nearly weekly, until
| the Presidential Election in November, to the
| extent of thirteen numbers in ALL
The CAMPAIGN POST will beaprinted on a
sheet of the size Of the Boston Post daily, semi
weekly and weekly and furnished at the actual
