and altering election returns, the criminals
are pardoned-iu short. every outrage that

the outrages we have enumerated, the hon
est people are arousing with determination
to THROTTLE THE MONSTER, and this
effort will be continued until the work Is &C
complished. LET ALL PREPARE FOR
THE STRUGGLE. FOR IT Is AT HAND!
