The Democracy of the North are showing
their teeth The President has received tele-
grams from various States Offering him sup
port in any contest into which he may be
forced in defense of liberty and the Constitu-
tion. The Keystone Club of Philadelphia
have taken practical step by resolving them
selves into military organization. This is
warning to the radicals that their schemes for
the suppression of the public opinion of the
country, and for the subversion of the Con-
stitution. viii be resisted by the Democracy.
If this point is well understood, it will have
more effect in checking the tide of radical
aggression than any other method that could
be devised. They may be willing to legislate
away the rights of their political antagonists,
but they will be very far from making fight
against an incensed and exasperated majority.
