measures any act calculated to disturb the public

executive offices those who could stay the tide of cor
RIM who saw urthp innr
the system OF constitutional government those who
could protect people from legislative wrongs. We
feel too, that our success would be rebuke by the
American people of measures which have been con
denned SO strongly by many leading Republicans and
Republican presses, well by ourselves. If the
candidates ticket should prove capable honest
and true to their trust, at another election the people
of the United States could go further aud make
Democratic House of Representatives, and IN due time
the character of the Senate would be changed be-
lieye that the day is at hand hen the judgments and

country made great and prosperous. None Of
these changes would be made violently; none could
endanger the public peace; but they would all tend
in the end to promote the welfare and prosperity of
the United States.
