would be. Their neglect to indicate their
assent to the validity of the CONSTITUTIONS
amendments has quite properly peeh 'aAeh
as plain declaration that the views COM
monty attributed to them-viewS on which
the Southern wing of the party act with the
approyal and encouragement of the Northern
wing-are really cherished by them, and that
they hold, with Blair, that the constitutional
amendments and the reconstruction laws are
null and void. Thus laying foundation for
anarchy and renewed civil strife, the Demo.
cracy would gain nothing by this Congress
slonal address if they disclosed in reality as
black picture Of Radical usurpation, recl-
lessness, extravaganza and crime as they pre-
tend to exhibit Even conceding the truth OF
all that the address says of Republican waste
fulness and dishonesty, it Is not probable that
any intelligent reader will fail to perceive the

more imminent taarnaay other at the present
time it is that TIL York Tammany- Erie
oligarchy may carry their usurpations and
their pecnlations so far as to reduce the State
to condition of absolute anarchy which will
involve the whole country.
But the statements of the address we are
considering are not true in reference to the
proceedings of the dominant party and their
effect on the country. Among other of the
stereotyped complaints they prefer is this ::
"At time when labor is depressed and every
material interest is palsed by oppressive tax
alton, the public officers have been multiplied
almost beyond PRECEDENT" Without stopping
to say more than that the Democrats voted
last year against the eighty millions reduction
oftaxation, and that the number of public
officers has been largely diminished by the
dscontinuance and consolidation of offices
connected with the collection of internal rev.
