IHE HEIGHT OF lMPUDENCE-It is the
height of impudcnce for Wade Hamilton. or
any other paroled prisoner, to tell the people of
the United States upon what terms they can
have peace.
1t is the height of impuience for either
branch OF the Democratic party to complain of
national debt created and imposed upon the
country by one portion of them taking up arms
to destroy the Union, and the other portion en-
couraging them in the effort
1t Is the height of impudence for the Demo
cratic leaders, South and North, to rrate
against Acknowledgement of few individuals
on account OF treason, when there avowed pur-
pose Is to disfranchise four millions of people
on account of complexion.
II Is the helght or lmpudence tor George II
Pendlcten to offer to pay the national debt in
grecnbacks after predicting, as he did in 1867
that the entire issue of United States notes
would become worthless in the hands of the
holders
1t is the height of impudence for the Demo {
cratic party to take the sacred name of law and
'onStitntion on their lips, after resolving in
heir National Convention that the acts Of Con
;ress, passed i'll the manner prescribed bv the {
constitution, are void"
1t is the height OF impudence, for the Demo 7

or even the forbearance, of loyaI {
nen, after expending one halt of their strength {
Turing the space OF four years is an attempt to,
lestroy the Union, and the other half in an at
empt to prevent anybody else from saving it. !
