The Usurpers Precipitating Revolution
The President to be Swept Away.

The President to be Swept Away.
The events transporting in Washington
within the day or two past, ought to open
the eyes of the people to the monstrous
character of the conspiracy to destroy
their liberties, in which the Rump Con-
gress miscreants are now banded to-
gether in solid column to carry into eff
feet. 1t ought to do something else. II
ought to open the eyes of the people to
the fact that, If they intend to preserve
even the forms of free government, they
must prepare to fight for them
1t is now settled that the President
shall be removed from office. He is an
impediment in the way of the scheme
they have planned for procuring de-.
cision in the next Presidential election
| in their favor, and theimpediment must
be swept away, The President of the
Senate, demagogue of the lowest stamp,
will then be Commander,in-C Chief of the
army and navy, with Grant to do what
ever dirty work may be prescribed for
him. They will then pass the Ednunds
bill, now before the Judiciary Commit
tee, and then, from now till the next
| Presidential election, the entire country
will be at the mercy of the Revolution

Now, what do you think of itf
We told you, years and years ago, that
the fetters you we're helping to put on
the limbs of your Southern countrymen
would yet be placed upon yours; that
the infamous party you were strengthen
ing and eountenancing would yet turn
around upon you and strike you to the
earth. You did not believe u.s. See now
who was right and who was wrongl
Nevertheless, the great heart of the
people here and hereabout is profoundly
moved By these later demonstrations Of
the usurpers, and men 60 about the
streets asking one another What can
we doY How long are we to submit I"
We answer; You must submit until
the next Presidential election; and then,
IL the usurpers insist upon carrying out
that part Of the game which includes the
counting Of the Southern negro electoral
votes to elect President in spite Of the
white men Of the North, you must be
prepared to put down these tyrants and
traitors by force.
Just now the usurpers can count on
