The New York Journal Of Commerce has a
calm and encouraging article on the signs that
it discerns in all parts of the country. an
among men of all parties, in favor ola return
to constitutional government It says "A
return to constitutional government !" This
should be the rsllyipg cry Of all who would
save the country from the grave dangers that
threaten The Income Tax, the Bayonet bill,
the Presidents war acts in relation to San
Domingo and Hayti the inroads of Congress
upon the independence of the Judiciary-these
are but few of the most notorious instances Of
the facility with which constitutional provisions
are set aside when they stand in the way Of
the mysterious designs of the men now in
power. The habit will grow with tolerate on
from the people and unless they now make a
successful stand against it, they may wake up
some morning to find the government changed
not in fact only but in name, and Dictator
fiourishing sword over the ruins of the Con-
stitutiou at Washington
