that is for the President elect to de-

usurpations at the South, dlsperse the

From first to last from the So
called anti-sIavery amendment of the
Constitution to the food of trash for
all purposes, military, civil, financial
and commercial-all the reconstruc-
ton laws of the whole peace period
fall to pieces, if the Democracy sue
ceeds In electing Mr.. Seymour as their
STANDARD bearer. We can take part
In such conflict. We believe, from
the depths Of our understanding, that
these acts of Congressional misdoing
are all, one like the other, perfc city
void West and South.

with the feelings of the people.
There was nothing that the South
wanted that was not there. The mil
itary despotism which has held us in
thraldOm was here set in its proper
light. For the first time, we have a
| platform we can adhere to. We have
work to do which can be accom-

sent those principles. who will carry
us out Of the Sic 'gh of Despond. :"
