Buchanan County bulletin and guardian., 1868-07-24

''lf the President elected by the Demo<
racy enforce, or permit others to cnfore
these reconstruction acts, the radicals, b
the accession OF twenty spurious Senator
and fifty Representatives, will control bot
branches Of Congress, aud his ADMINISTERS
tion will be as powerless rs the present on
Of Mr.. Johnson.
= There is but one way 10 restore the Gov
ernment and the Constitution, and that
for the hesident>e elect to declare these act
null and roid, compeil the army 70 uado IL
usurpations at tie South. disperse tie car
pet bag State Governments, aiior the trhif
people TO rcorganise Senator's and Reprssesr
taiires. The House Of Representatives viii
contain majority OF Democrats from tht
tives elected by the white people of the
South, and, with the cooperation Of The
President, it will not be difficult to compel
the Senate to submit once more to the obli-
CATIONS Of the Constitution. II win not be
able to Withstand the public Judgment, il
distinctly invoked and clearly expressed on
this fundamental issue, and il is the sure
way TO avoid all future strife to put this is>
sue plainly TO the country.
"l repeat that this is the real and only
question which We should allow TO control
US: Shall we submit to the usurpations BY
which the Government has been overthrown.
or shall we exert ourselves for its full and
complete restoration! 1t is idle 10 talk Of
bonds. greenbacks. gold. the public faith,
and the public credit. What can Demo-
cratic President DO in regard 10 any Of these
With Congress in both branches controlled
BY the carpet baegen and their allies He
will be powerless 10 stop the supplies by
which idle negroes are organized into politi>
cal clubs-bv which IN army is mainta ined
to protect the vagabouds in their outrares
upon the ballot. These, and things like
these. eat up the revenues and resources Of
the Goverumcn. and destroy its credit, make
the diicrence between geld and greenbacks.
We must restore ihe Constitution before We
CO. restore the finances, and TO do this WE
MUST HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO
WILL EXECUTE THE WILL OF THE
PEOPLE By TRAMPLIMG INTO DUST
THE USURPATIONS OF CONGRESS
KNOWN AS THE RECONSTRUCTION
ACTS. WISH TO STAND BEFORE
THE CONVENTION UPON THIS IS,
SUE, but j, is one which embraces every>
thing else that IS Of value in the large and
results. Ii 10 the one thing
that includes oil that is worth . contest, and
without it the~ is nothing that gives digni,
y, honor, or value to the struggle.
