THE SCHEMES OF THE AMBITIOUS SOL
DER
Who sits at the head of this Gov
ernmeut to-day, and occupies the
place once filed by good and pure
men, is dreaming an easy victory,
and confidentialIy counting upon
the hour when he shall apportiou
the several States Of the Union as
princely dependencies among his
faithful favoritcs. And should he
be re elected President he may real
ize his dream. He knows the peo-
plo with whom he has to deal, and
like Il good general as he is, he is
vanquIshing this nation by detail.
His attention is now dirictcd to the
Southern wing, and when he has
prepared that section for the en-
pire he will direct his energies north

He knows full well that no coup de-
tat can be Successful in this country
so long as the people remain unccr-
rupted or retain their respect tor
Republican institutions. Hence
his endeavors to corrupt tie ineor
ruptable and disgust those who re-
main honest. Yh;s is already the
case in South Carolina, and | will

anv other form of government that
would or could protect life and prop

THE HOPE or THE NATION
Rests with the honest people. If
they are prepared to discard pas
sions and return TO reason all nay
vet be we'll. But it must be done
by the honest laboring people, and
tSey must unite. Tire leaders, those
of them who are disposed to be hon

which they inaugurated any more

proceedings of the revolutionary
