II demanding these measures and re. |
!orm,. we arrligl the he.Dldical parry for It's
disregard Of right and the unparalleled OPP |
preston and tyranny which have marked its |
career after the most solemn and unanimous |
pledge OF both Houses of Congress to prose-
cute the war exclusively for the maintenance
OF the Government, anl the preservation
Of the Union and the Constitution.
1t a, repeatedly violated that most sa
cred pledge under which was rallied that
noble volunteer army which carried oar flag
to victory Instead of restoring the Union,
it has, so far as in its power dissolved it,
and subjected ten States in times Of pro-
found eace to military despoiism AMI negro
supremacy.
1t has nulIiiod the right of trial by jury.
1t has abolished tbs wit OF habeas COR
pus. that most sacred writ Of liberty.
1t has overthrown the freedom OF speech
and press.
1t has substituted arbitrary seizures and
arrests, and military trials, and secret star
chamber inquisitiens, for ConStitutionafI
tribunals .Me
1t has disrcgarded in timo Of peace the
right OF the people to be free from serches
and seizures.
1t has entered tho post and telegraph
offices, am! even the private rooms of in,ii-
yiduals, and seized their private papers ana
letters without any specification notice Of
affidavit as required by the organic us
1t has converted the American Capitol
intoa bastile.
1t has establish ed system of spies and
official espionage 10 which no constitutional
monarchy OF Europe would darc to resort
1t has abolished the right Of appeal, on
important CONSTITUTIONS questions, to the
supreme judicial tribunals, and threatens to
curtail or destroy ms original Jurisdiction,
which il irrevOcably vested by the Constitu.
tom while the learned Chief, f,justice has
been subjected to great and atrocious cal
umnies merely because he would not pfosti-
tute his high Office to the support Of the
false and partisan charges preferred against
the President.
its corruption and extravgarce have ex-
ceeded any thirg known in history, and by
its frauds and monopolies it has near donb,
led tn, burden Of the debt created during
the war.
1t has stripped the President of his con.
stitutional power of appointment, even OF
his own Capinct
Under its repeated assaults the pillars Of
the Government are rocking on their base,
and should it succeed in November next,
and inaugurate its President, we will meet
it as subjected and conquered people, amid
the ruins Of liberty, and scattered fragments
Of the Constitution.
