The President also objected to it
on the ground that it violated the Consti-
tuition, in taking away land from former
owners without legal proceedings and ir
establishing government poor houses for
the blacks but none for the whites. .'ft >

d Such are the enormous, tax burdens fas-
tened on these counties, and on the State,
and on every State in proportion, by Rad
ical policy, which policy Ambler will vote
to continue and Lawson would oppose with
might and main. ~ --Ito4i ~ -r
Remember that deficiency bills are usual
ly brought in at the end OF the wear and
the negro business will probably exceed

Now let che Ambling carpet baggers that
run out from Canton daily and nightly to
draw the wool over the eyes of our farmers
and others, who wear their wamuses and
raise wheat and corn by honest labor, ex-
plain this negro business to them instead of
twaddling about the New ork riots and
calling Horatio Seymour "a miscreant'-a
man who is one of the very first men of the
country and acknowledged to be christian
gentleman. a'As 80. 'rI no -
Remember this negro tax is but one OF
the many. items of expense-it is only a
drop in the bucket. A large standing army
and navy-a corrupt Congress- who vote
themselves and their friends gold pens, pen
knives and scissors and other things-yoId
interest on the bonds, hordes of officials
besides those in the bureau--all add to the
vast scheme of Radical robbery that is i'm
poyerishing the country and hurrying us
on in the highway of ruin. -.
These are facts to ponder over, and we
call upon every man who considers himself
free man to Investigate, form a correct
Judgment and cast freeman's ballot
