According to the census of 1850 the
free negroes numbered in the slave states
22S, ,13S, and in the free states 196, ,116,
making an excess in favor of the slave
states of 32,022. Why this excess, Mr..
NJ? According to your position there
would not have been any free negroes in
the south, but unfortunately for your case
we find 32,0 ,022 more there than in your
free America" Did you not know this
when you penned your assertion ? Or
have you willfdlly misrepresented the case?
1 am inclined to the opinion that you
could not have been so ignorant of the
Census Of 1850 as to have committed the
error. Then we conclude that you did it
on purpose. This is the way you propose
to build your construction, is it? Had
you read the declaration Of independence
by the people of Texas, at Golliad, ,Septem-
Der 20, 1885. you would not have said of
Texas what you did, because you would
have learned that slavery was the cause of
separation. What object have you then
in that self-assumed style of making many
assertions and proving nothing. How do
you suppose to inspire your readers with
confidence in you by such allegories? 1
am convinced that an intelligent German
will accept the truth from an American
citizen before an untruth from foreigner
SO keep on Mr.. NJ, you will soon have
many disciples to your lofty moral teachings
Mr.. NJ dwelt to some extent on the
right Of congress to legisate for the peo-
pie of the territories until they became
states. 1t is upon this principle the radi-
Gals claim the right to legislate for the
south. They regard those states that
were in rebellion as territories belonging
to the United States: Now for argume
let US admit this to be the case; that is
regard those states not as states, but as
territories belonging to the United States,
would congress then have the right to leg
islate temporarily fer the southern people?
The radicals say yes, the democrats, no.
One of the best methods, by which we can
understand the intention Of the trainers of
the constitution is by their actions in con.
q.
In the federal convention August %, 1887,
Madison submitted clause to article l j.,
sec. s OF the constitution, which read, "To
institute temporary governments for new
states arising therein" If,as is claimed,
the trainers of the constitution intended
to invest congress with the power of gov
ernment over territories, why was this
proposition of Mr.. Madison struck out
which conferred that power in express
terms? 1t is difficult to explain this ac-
ton upon any other hypothesis than that
they intended no such power to be lodged
in the federal government for it cannot
be supposed that they were 80 fond Of i'm
pllcations as to strike from the frame of
the government which they were preparing
express words, III order to have powers
inferred We then cannot believe as
radicals do. Mr.. NJ. cannot point US to a
single word in the constitution which con-
fers such powers as he maintains. We
then must conclude that the radicals leg
islation for the south is in every particu-
lar unconstitutional And as Jews and
foreigners are lovers Of the constitution,
they cannot support the party that ig
nores it.
Mr.. NJ says that he establishes the di-
gnosis of radical remedies " scientifically
upon the principles of anatomy, physiolo-
gy, and elementary pathology" Will not
some kind physician assist Mr.. NJ. to ex-
plain the meaning Of "pothology'e Asit
is we cannot see clearly the scientific dag
nosis. Again he says: As a man of
medical education, Mr.. Vero, you will
coincide that the in1icafio sympathetica
will do palli stive but that the rational
physician pre-eminently reflects upon the
ndicationes, eausal;S, and morbi, resp.
radicals" 1t is not often that scientific
man uses the word sympothetiea F" TOR
sympotAae. The phrase properly written
would read indicatto sympathae-indica-
ton of sympathy. In the next place he
uses resp as Latin abbreviation hence
we regard it as abbreviated from the Latin
word respi-putting off. The word "and"
does not sound Latin-like. 4" MorJi" is
the genitivc of norJus-a disease. "Indi-
cationes," by giving it the proper ending
will make good Latin. "Caasalis'-cas
ual-is a Latin adjective. No doubt the
writer meant the Latin noun cdusa-cause.
"Radicals"-of radicalism-comes nearer
being Italian than Latin. Hence We see
