The issue upon which the contest
turns II clear and cannet bedistorted
By the sophistFies of our adversariss.
They all resolve themselves into tbs
old and ever recurring struggle Of O
man toahsorb tho p0titiaal power of
the nation. This effort under every
conceivable name and diaguise, hos
always characterized the opponents
OF the Democratic party, tat at no
time has the attempt assumed 10
open and daring shape as IN this
contest. The adyexsaries 0ffree con-
stitutional goyernrn mt, In defiaIace
Of the Constitution have areofed o
military daspotisn In ten Of the
States af the Cnion; have taken from
the President the power vested In
him by the Supreme Court have
deprived the Supreme, Court of ifs
Jurisdiction, and the right of trial by
jury, and the great writ of right, the
habsGs corpus, the shield on safety
for every citizen, and which have
descended To MS from the eariies4
traditions of our. aRceStors, and
which our Revolutionary fathers
fought TO secure to their posteritY
forever In the fundamental charter
OF our liberties have been ruthlossiy
traInpied under foot by the fragment
OF q Congress. Whole States and
communities Of people, Of our race,
have I1een attainted, convicted, con-
