ance, and tho claims Of foreign powers to
punish them for alleged crime ommilled
beyond their jurisdiction. Applause.
In demanding these measures and re-
forms, we arraign the Radical party for its
disregard of right, and tho unparalleled
oppression and tyranny which have marked
iis career.
After the most solemn and unanimous
pledge Of both houses Of Congress to pros.
ecute the war exclusively for the mainten-
ance Of the Government and the preserva-
ton Of the Union under the Constitution,
it has repeatedly violated that most sacred
pledge under which was rallied that noble
volunteer army which carried our flag to
victory.
Instead Of restoring the Union, Il has,
SO for as was in its power, dissolved il, and
subjected tea States in time Of profound
peace to military despotism and negro
supremacy.
1t has nulli6ed there the right Of trial
by jury.
Ii has abolished the writ Of hsbeas cor.
pus-that most sacred writ of liberty:
1t has overthrow the freedom Of speech
and Of the press.
It has substituted arbitrary seizures and
arrests and military trials and secret star
chamber inquisitions for constitutional tri.
bunals.
1t has disregnrded in time Of peace the
right of the people to be free from search
aud seizures.
1t has entered the post and telegraph
Offices, and even the private rooms Of ind.
vhuals, and seized their private papers
and letters, without any specifications or
notice or affidavit as required by the or
ganic law.
1t has converted the American Capitol
into bastile.
Ithas established system Of spies and
official espionage to which no constitutional
monarchy Of Europe would now dare to
resort.
II has abolished the right of appeal on
important ccnst; tutional questions to the
supreme judicial tribunal, and threatens
to curtail or destroy its original jurisdic-
tion, which is irrevocably vested by the
constitution, while the learned Chief JUS
tice has been subjected to great and afro
cious calumnes merely because he would
not prostitute his high office to the support
of the false and partizan charges preferred
against the President.
Its corruption and extravaganza have ex-
ceeded any thing known in history, and by
its frauds and monopolies it has nearly
doubled the burden Of debt created during
the war. 1t has stripped the President Of
his constitutional power of appointment
even of his own cabinet.
Under its repeated assaults, the pillars
Of the Government are rocking on their base,
and, should it succeed in November next,
and inaugurate its President, we will meet
as a subject and conquered people amid the
ruins Of liberty and the scattered fragments
Of the constitution; and we do declare and
resolve, that ever since the people Of the
United States threw off oil subsection to the
British crown, the privilege and trust Of
suffrage have belonged to the several States,
and have been granted, regulated and con.
trolled exclusively by the political power
Of each State, and any attempt by Congress,
on any pretext whatever, TO deprive any |
State Of this right, or interfere with this
exercise, is fragrant nsurpation Of power
which can find no warrant in the oonstitu- !
ton, and, il sanctioned by the people, will |
subvert our form Of government, and can
only end in q single, centralized, eonsoli-
dation government, in which the separate |
existence Of the States will be entirely alb
sorbed and an unqualified in place Of Fed
eral Union Of equal States.
That we regard the reconstruction acts
Of Congress, socalled, as usurpations, I'M
