supported there by the soldiery,
must stand against the will OF tie
people, and the decision of the Sn.
preme Court, and the solemn oath of
the President, to maintain and an,,- ~
|port the Constitution. It is revolu.
tlonary TO execute the will Of the
peoples, it is revolutionary to execute
the judgment of the Supreme Court:
it is revolutionary in the President to
keep lnvioiate his oath to sustain the
Constitution. This false construc-
ton ofrthe vital principle of our Go
vernment is the last resort of those
who would have their arbitrary re-
construction sway and supersede our
time-honored institutions. The ma
tion will say the Constitution must
be restored and the will of the peo-
pie again prevail The appeal to
the peaceful ballot to attain this end
ls not war, is not revolution. They
make war and revolution who attempt
to arrest this quiet mode Of putting
aside military despotism and the
usurpations of O fragment Of Con-
gress, asserting absolute power oyer
that benign system of regulated
liberty left US by our fathers. This
must be allowed to take its course.
This is the only road to peace. It
will come with the election of the
Democratic candidate, and not with
the election of that mailed warrior,
whose bayonets are now at the throats
OF 5000. 900 people i'll the South, to
compel them to support him as q
candidate for the Presidency, and to
submit to the domination of an alien
race of semi-barbarous men. No
perversion of truth, or audacity of
misrepresentation, can exceed that
which halls this candidate in arms as
an angel of peace.
L am, very respectfully, your most
obedient servant,g
