The Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1865-1870, 1868-03-21
A NATIONAL FRANCHISE act.

We are glad to see that Congress is
moving in the direction of the enact
men. Of law which shall give to every
citizen in this nation a right TO voice
in its affairs. Stevens amendment 70
the bill already before Congress en-
braces the fundamental idea Of naturali
ration, without which our democraticai
theory of government is imperfect and
inconsistent. Citizenship is nothing
but an empty name unless it conveys
with it the right to a voice in the forma-
ton OF the elective government under
which we live. The theory of our poll
teal fabric is that every native comes
iuto sovereignty by birth and requisite
age and free agency. The genius of
on, institutions makes the way easy to
the privileges of citizenship to persons
making the United States their adopted
homes. The general government claims
the first allegiance of all its citizens to
make a just reciprocity Of relationship
between citizens and their government,
each and every one of them should have
the right to take part in the selection of
the officers of the National Corporation
OF which he is a member. In the
suinutia of our subordinate institutions
,l all 81 Tod
towns regulating their domestic concerns
in their own way, the citizens of coun-
ties exercising independent political
action with respect to the State in which
they reside, and the State itself regulat-
lug its immediate concerns in conform
ity to the sense of the majority of its
citizens. These are legitimate and in
dispensable incidents to the various
parts of the machinery of lawful rule
legitimate SO long as they are not an
tagonistic to the supreme authority of
the nation-and conduce to the more
perfect and beneficial self regulation of
the peoples local concerns. And if it
be just and right that the lesser parts Of
the whole should thus be guaranteed the
right to regulate their own domestic af-
fairs, BY what course Of reasoning is it
IL be maintained that the nation itself
may not promote plan whereby all its
,.tizens may have voice in its con-
serns2 Why may no. the general gov
ernment with perfect justice aud pro-
prie;y say to all the States and counties
nd towns in the land Each mem
ser Of the national household shall have i
! voice ia the regulation of lite affairs !;
Ina it shall not be lawful for any one 8
member of the family to take away :,
rom snotber the means for exercising p
nat right" What injustice would be =
,rought by such a declaration? What
sovereignty" would be wrongfully n
guored or invaded were such terms to ST
. enforced? We cannot comprehend e
he position of professed Republican
tho would deny the right Of all men of
sery degree and color to . vote upon d

The Democracy are making great ado
about the public debt, and have the graceless
impudence 10 charge the responsibility Of it's
contraction upon the Republicans,
Every dollar Of the public debt vas caused
by the Democracy. The Southern wing Of
the party rebelled and took up arms agsinst
the Government, and the Government was
forced to raise men and money to crush the
rebellion, or else submit to destruction and
dissolution of the Union. Then the North.
ern wing Of the Democracy, BY their sympa-
thy with their Southern brethren, and their
opposition TO the war, and their resistance to
the draft, prolonged the contest and in
creased the expense of the war and the ne
cessary sacrifice OF lite immensely,
But for the treason Of the Democracy there
would have been no war, and no war debt,
and hundreds Of thousands of brave and "a
triotic men now lying 10 bloody graves would
have been industriously engaged in develop
ing the resources Of the country.

T.s Journal and Messenger, Macon, Ga,
an old fashioned rebel organ, thus halls the
nomination Of Horatio Seymour:
The nomination of.Horatio Seymour, Of New
York. by the Democratic National Convention,

being violated by the Lincoln administration. Sev
mours voice heard high above the eisngor Of
arms in defense of that instrument.
Having thus shown why it does support
Seymour. the Journal aud Messenger givesits
reasons for opposing Grant, as follows
The people of the South need no appeal
They have but one friend in this contest Grant
has overrun and devastated their fields and
butcherod their children. He has been the mills
.ary executive officer OF that Congress which has
loaded with chains, overridden all our laws.
filled dungeons with citizens, elected stroilns
vagahonds 70 our Offices. and filled the cup II our
woes to overlooking. No friend Of the South, no
friend Of his eou6try, can vote for this military
,yrant.'
What Grant did in the South every loyal
Union soldier helped him do, and every one
of our boys IN blue = are equally exposed
to rebel hatred and maledicton. viii the
rank and file Of the Union army leave their
leader alone aud unsupported to bear the
brnnt of rebel and copperhead vengeance?
And what Seymour did in opposition to
Lincoln's administration aud the war meas
ures of the Government, under pretence Of
defending the Constitution, every secesh sym
pathizer, from Vallandigham TO Clay Dean
and Clagett aided aud abetted him in doing.
Will the loyal soldiers now endorse and sus.
tale these scamps who denounced them as
!" Lincoln hirelngs." resisted the draft, op.
posed sending reinforcements to their relief,
and souaht to leave them unsupported in the
enemys country to fall victims to superior
numbers, and thereby render I" the war for
the Union failure7 n
