nationality which shall command the re-
spect of foreign powers, furnish mn exam
pie aud encouragement to people struggling
for national integrity, constitutional liberty
and individual rights, and the maintenance
Of the rights Of naiuralizcd citizens against
the ABSOLUTE doctrine of immntahlc nllcg.
ancc, aud the claims of foreign powers to
punish them for alleged crime committed
beyond their jurisdiction. Applause. q
forms, we arraign the Radical party for its
disregard of right, and the unparalleled
oppression and tyranny which have marked
its career.
After the most solemn and unanimous
pledge of both houses OF Congress to pros.
ecute the war exclusively for the mninten-
ance of the Government and the prcscrva-
ton of the Union uHder the Constitution,
it has repeatedly violated that most sncred
pledge under which was rallied that noble
volunteer army which carried our flag to
victory.
Instead of restoring the Union, II has,
80 far rs wns in its power, dissolved It, ana
subjected tea States in n time of profound
peace to military despolism and negro
supremacy.
1t has nullfed there the right of trial
by jury.
1t has abolished the writ of habeas cor
pus-that most sacred writ of liberty.
1t has overthrow the freedom OF speech |
and of the press.
1t has substituted arbitrary seizures and |
arrests and military trials and secret star
chamber inquisitions for constitutional tri
bunals.
1t has disregarded in time Of peace the
right of the people TO be free from search
and seizures.
1t has entered the post and telegraph
Offices, and even the private rooms of indi.
viduals, 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 bastie.
1t has established n system of spies and
official espionage to which no constitutional
monarchy of Europe would now dare to
resort.
1t has abolished the right of appeal on
important constitutional questions to the
supreme judicial tribunal, aud threatens
to curtail or destroy its original jurisdic-
ton, which is irrevocably vested by the
while the learned Chief JUS
tice has been subjected to great and afro
oious calumnies 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 anything 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
bis 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,
aud inaugurate its President, We will meet :
as q 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 all subsection 10 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 usurpation of power
which can find no warrant in the consiiiu-
ion, and, il sanctioned by the people, will :.
,ubvert our form Of government, ard can J
,nly end in o single, centralized, consoi- Z
lation government, in which the separate [
existence Of the States will be entirely alb i
,orbed and an unqualified in place Of Fed 4
