Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1868-06-09

the Northern States SO well as the
Southern, Notwithstanding the miser-
able and sneaking Second Resolution.
1t is declaration that Radicalism will
use It's most earnest efforts to establish
negro equality and negro suffrage over
every inch Of American soil.
To sum up the whole, the platform In
sists on the maintenance Of the recon-
struction policy Of Congress, with all Its
dsvilish epginery OF military despotism |;
it pledges the party to insist on the ad-
vantages obtained by means Of Outrs-
geous frauds committed in the Southern
States, by means of which the scallawag
Constitutions have been made and are
pretended to have been adopted, and to
enforce those Constitutions. It assures
the bondhoIders that the principal as
well as the interest Of the five-twenty
bonds shall be paid in gold, and the rate
of interest not reduced, nor the bonds
paid off In haste. 1t promises no relief
from excessive and unjust taxation, un-
equally laid on the people as
burthen too heavy to be borne.
1t makes hypoerltical professions
OF economical and honest purposes, which
are not meant to be kept; guarantees
naturalizsd citizens their rights, and to
soldiers and sailors, and their widows
and orphans, pensions and bounties pro-
poses to encourage foreign emigration
and reward Southern renegades, and
sympathizes with all oppressed people
who are struggling for their rights and
it announces the determination of the
Jacobins to establish negro suffrage ey-
erywheFe.
It glves the great Northwest no sssur-
ance that it's people shall no longer be
Rrievously oppressed with protective tar
ifs for the benefit Of Northeastern man
ufacturers, or by relieving these manu-
facturers from the principal part OF their
fair share of the burthen Of indirect tax
alton. II does not promise to relieve the
country from the evils Of the National
Bank system, or even to cease paying
those institutions interest On the bonds
deposited by them to secure their cireu-
lstion. To the labouring classes it holds
out no hope of return to specie cur
reney and Of relief from the continual
fluctuations Of paper curren-
cy without specie basis, issued by
the Government; and, in all
that affects or concerns those classes, it
makes only vague professions and holds
out delusive inducements for their votes.
1t does not promise to abandon the prac-
tice of aiding schemes OF sectional i'm
provement, which tax the people of the
whele Union for the benefit Of few.
II does not promise to reduce the army,
or dispense with the Freedmen's Bu-
reau, or restore the reign OF the laws, or
respect the judicial tribunals. These mot
toes EN- blaE Jned on the Jacobin banners
could embOdy the whole creed in a few
brief sentenees:-" Maintain Military
Despotisms, Military Commissions and
Scallawag Constitutions. Negro Suf-
trage forever. Gold for the bOndholders,
and taxation aud currency for the peO-
pie. Expressions for our own people,
and sympathy for the oppressed every
where else. Rewards for renegades;
bounties for the manufacturer. Direct
taxes and stamp-duties ExtrAvagsuee
and Corruption forever
ofthe intention to subiugste the Ex-
ecutive and dlsarm the Judiciary it says
not q word. Excellent creed and dis
Greet reticence!
