OUR DUTY.

To our mind the question before our people, is,
whether we shall longer submit to the despotic
rule of few misguided men, hostile to the great
body of the people, doing everything in their power
to impoverish the State, for the sake of gain, or
whether we shall rise en- masye TO throw off this
incubus, and reimplant the State upon the only
sure foundation, equal government and low taxa
ton.
1t is not, whether we shall array ourselves
against the Republican party; that, indeed would
be useless, for the result of the last Presidential
1t is not whether we shall give up the principles of
Democracy, or merge them with those of the more
conservative Republicans, but it is, will not boh
the literally minded of both parties unite 10 defeat
the present destructive reign of o base clique.
Can history point TO an era in the life of any
civilized government since the world began, para-
elled to this in which we live! Most assuredly
not, unless it be one which Immediately preceded
the overthrow and dissolution thereof. We live in
times, wherein thieves stalk abroad unpunished,
and the most successful thief is regarded as most
worthy of elevation to high Office Times, wherein
the most unnatural phenomenon of ancient or
modern ages is seen, viz: commonwealth con-
trolled and governed by few strangers, who, un-
able to procure decent or paying employment at
home, come here, pour out huge aud open lies into
the ears of the colored man, and By him are raised
to exalted positions where every opportunity is
afforded of open and unchecked stealing, under
the color of law, it is true, but laws made for the
express purpose of forwarding their nefarious de-
signs.
But now, are we unwilling to seize the present
opportunity of rescuing ourselves from this false
position? False, because it exhibits this state O.
things, that there are no one of our own native
born citizens, capable or worthy Of holding the
high positions above referred to. SHALL we suffer
such an imputaton longer to rest upon us, un
needed and not denied? Does it not behoove ev
cry honest man of every color to unite in showing
to the world, that we are fit and capable of govern
ing ourselves and managing our own affairs?
No third party is requisite. Only union be
tween the honest men of all parties, with the sole
desire of rescuing ourselves from this disgracefu
and humiliating positiOn-Camden Journal.
