The reconstruction policy Of the Rad.

have been admitted, negro suffrage estab
lished, and the carpet. baRgers installed IL
their seats 10 both branches Of Congress
There is no possibility Of changing the
political character Of tho Senate, even IL
the Democrats should elect their Presi.
dent aud n majority Of the popular branch
OF Congress. We cannot, therefore, un'
do the Radical plan Of reconstruction by
Congressional action; the Senate will con
tue bar TO It's repeal. Must we submit
TO il? How can IL be overthrown? Ii
can only be overthrow by The Authority
OF the Executive, who is sworn 10 main
tain the Constitution, and who will fail to
do his duty il he allows the Constitution
to perish under a series Of Congressional
enactments which are in palpabe viola.
ton Of It's fundamental principles.
If tho President elected by the De.
mocracy enforces or permits others to en-
force these Reconstruction acts, the Rad
icals, by the accession OF twenty spurious
Senators and Fifty Representatives, will
control both branches Of Congress, and
his administration will be as powerlsss as
the present one of Mr.. Johason.
There is but one way to restore the
Government and the Constitution, and
that is for tho President elect to declare
these acts null and void, compel the army
to undo its usurpations at the South, dis
pcrse the caipet-bag State governments,
allow the white people to reorganize their
own governments and elect Senators and
Representatives. The House Of Repre-
sentatives will contain majority of Dem.
ocrats from the North, and they will adj
NIT the Representatives elected by the
white people of the South, aud with the
cooperation Of the President 1t will not
be difficult to compel the Senate 10 sub
nit once more to the obligations of the
Constitution. 1t will not be able TO with
stand the public Judgment. If distinctly
invoked and clearly expressed, on this
fundamental issue, and IL is the sure way
to avoidall future strife to put this Issue
