the military Dictator, or so.callod rresi.
ident Grant, at Washington. How long
will it lastf Perhaps thirty days, posi-.
bly, . year. Possibly, like Mexico. alter.
nations Of military despotism and an.
archy may prevail for fifty years, but 1t
is more likely to collapse into an awful
and bloody chaos Of bankruptcy aud cur.
mage for few months, out Of which will
emerge the grand old Union Of 1860.
Here then Is whcro We have been march.
ing to for eight years past, to . Nengrsl
citizenship, and to reach which we have
ovcrthrown Federation and contracted .
public debt Of three thousand millions,
and when We have reached it, We have
reached chaos, for tho regro element can.
not be incorporated OF amalgamatci into
the national life, and universal massacre,
carnage aud horror togin, never to end
until Mongrelism 10 blotted out iu
the blood Of the traitors, and the
grand old Union Of tho fathers is
restored. Now, the awful question stares
~ in the face, how to avoid this .chaos
and horror, and peaceably restore the
country to its normal condition Of 1860 2
First Of all, we must meet in National
Convention, and lay down . platform
that tho masses can easily understand.
What shall it be-? Why, simply the Con.
stitution and the Union Of 1S60--that
Union Of co.equal States composed OF
white people, made by tho Fathers, which,
for seventy years. was the wonder Of the
world, and which, moreover, IL tho sole
thing possible in the future. Then wo
want candidate, o statesmen, q brave,
honest, straightforward White Man, that
stands by the White Ncpublic Of 1860,
and leaves tho States whero Washington
placed them, to deal with the negroes in
their midst as God, and nature, and com.
mon sense, and the practice Of two hun
dred years demanded. We wantno inan.
cial {, o,itics, no State right, distractions,
no greenback dewagosuery, or pledges Of
repudiation-we want only tho Union, tho
Constitutional G Union-the blessed Union
for which half million of brave but mis-
taken men faucicd they died for, and We
will have it, or our children shall, as il
came to US from our Fathers, if We have to
massacre all tho niggers, white and black
now on American soil. But give Us tho
right platform and tho right candidate
and wo will sweep Mongrclism, military
dcspotism and niggerism from tho face Of
the earth, and hand over to our children
that grand old Union which our Fathers
sacredly bequeathed to Us.
Let the Convention, therefore meet on
the fourth Of July, and proclaim tho Fed
eral Constitution, and that alone, a. the
platform, and the restoration Of tho Unior
under that Constitution tho sacred mis-
sion Of tho American Democracy, and
then, with Pendeton, lIcndrlcks, Wood
ward, O'Conner, or even Hancock or Nc
Clellan, MS our leader, VIC may all unite IN
q glorious brotherhood FROM tho North
ern Lakes to the Gulf Seas, and pcacea
bly, restore our endangered institutions.
But if policy-mongers, trimmers and
fools carry the day, aud platform assent
ing to tho tomfooleries and lunacics o.
tho past eight years, aud demagougica
financial specifics arc trusted to, then God
help tho country, for it must needs col
lapse into chaos, bankruptcy, carnage and
horrors unparalleled in tho history o.
mankind.-Ncw York Day Book.
