ADDRESS 70 THE COUNTRY.
The Democratic Senators aud Mem
bers in Congress at a caucus held last
night agreed upon an address, which wus
to-day signed and issued as follows:
TO our fsiiO,o-citiIen. Of tie Ua;,ed Stuts.,
friends Of reAstifHtional, eroaomieal uad korsst
government:
The undersigned beg leave to call your at
tention to the peculiar importance Of the cleo
tions which take place this year, and respect
fully to submit some suggestions for your con-
sideration. by the State Legislatures to be
elected nearly one-third Of the United States
Senate will be chosen. Nearly all the members
OF the next House Of Representatives are to be
elected next fall. Upon the coming elections,
then, depends the question whether the Demo-
cratic and Conservative element In the Senate
shall be increased, and whether that element
shall have majority in the House Of Repre-
sentAiives; and, as consequence, whether
we shall have constitutional, economical and
honest government, or continuance Of revo-
lutionary, extravagant and wasteful partisan
rule; whether we fhsll have general, Uniform,
just and constitutional legislation, with rea-
sonablo taxation and frugal expenditure. or
unconstitutional, partial, unjust, class leRisla-
ton, with oppressive and unequal taxation and
wasteful expenditure.
That we have strong reasons to hope for 4
favorable result Is plainly apparent The cleo
tons already held clearly show that the tide
Of reform has set in with power that cannot
be resisted IL no blunders be committed BY the
friends Of reform. II they do their duty and
act wisely, IL they throw OF all apathy and act
with vigor and stead:astness, there 10 every
reason to hope that their efforts will be re-
warded By success. Let there be no dissensions
about minor matters, no time lost in the dis.
cussion Of dead issues, no manifestation of mar
row or proscriptive feeling, no sacrifice Of the
cause to crafty personal ambition or resent
ment, and let the best men be chosen for can
didates, and We may hope to see our country
redeemed from misrule. And, In this connec-
ton, we beg leave TO say a word to our fellow
citizens OF the Southern States. Do not risk
the loss Of Senators or Representatives by
eleeting men who cannot take the test-oath, or
who are under the disability imposed by the
fourteenth amendment.
Whatever may be said as tn the validity of
that amendment or Of the test oa u act, Won NAV
rest assured that Senators elected BY the votes
OF members of Legislatures who are held BY the
radicals to De thus disqualified will not be per-
mitted to take their seats, and that members Of
the House Of Representatives thus disoualified
will also be excluded. tits the piainest dictate
Of practical wisdom MOTTO incur any such risks.
We hope soon 20 see the day when all disabili-
ties will be removed; but, In the meantime. DO
not, We enfreat you, lose the opportunity %
strengthen the Democratic and Conservative
force 10 Congress, and the possibility, nav
PROBABILITY, OF obtaining majority in the ne 1t
House OF Representatives, by putting 1t 10 the
power OF our adversaries TO overthrow or dis
regard your elections.
