How dear to every patriotic bosSA
is independence Dayl How doubly
dear and sacred now, when that grand
old Government which was created by
the sacrifices and preserved by the
blood of those bold spirits of 80, is
tottering on the verge of bankruptcy
and ruin-being crowded and rushed
to its death by fanatical radicals who
are gnawing at its yitals and under
mining its existence by the same spe-
cies ofunjust enactments and tyranni-
cal legislation that characterized the
British government in the days of the
Revolution. Poor America! Once
the boast of her people-the pride OF
nations-tbe brightest Republic in the
history of the world-the asylum for
the oppressed and do~wntredden OF

and every citizen ; with her sea-ports
thrown open to the free and untram.

business marts crowded with manu-.
factories and mercantile houses; her
taxes light and contingent expendi,
lures for national purposes on the
most economical basis; her public of
ficials honest, pure, patriotic and un.
selfish, regarding themselves as the
peoples servants, rather than their
masters. What is she now? Fallen

the darkest shame of the American
government just now, as it is run by
the Rump co~nspirators, is that it har-
rasses, worries, Expresses and bedevils
almost to desperation a large class of
its own people, and seeks to degrade
them below the level of the ignorant,
brutal and semi-saYage negro.

hearted Democrat is placed in nomi-
nation by that body-one who ex-
presses and represents the will of the
people-his triumphant election is
guaranteed without n p~eradventure /;
but, on the other hand, If a tool of
the capitalists, or bondholdcrs, and
selfish aristocrats, who have nothing
