,DemocEatie papers tell; Us that when.
one of these fellows got mp in this con-.

were being made in regard to their

platform and We viii be CONTENT"
Those significant words ho proposed,
and those words the assembled Democ-
racy supplied. They declared that all
this radical Congress had done in the
reconstruction Of the States was uncon-
stitutional, revolutionary and void.

What an admirable expositor Of that
sacred instrument! But the Democra-
