AIS very clear that the country cannon
stand The cmbcZZlements aud wholesale
frauds which have been practlced by pup
lc officers and legislators since the war.
Several of the southern States have been
bankrupted by the wandering hoToes vi
thieves and scoundrels assuming the name
Of Eepuolicans, aud sustained by the pa
tronagc and confidence Of the Federal Co.
verD!ncnt. In some Sta cs there is no hope
but in repudiation Of the public debt, con-
traced without necessity and With no other
motive than the corrupt appropriation OF
TIE proceeds of State bonds TO the personal
debt by their legislation.

tools OF oppression and tyranny. Malfca-
etacc in Office is the unavoidable feature of !,
a Government employing such agents to
O. cute its laws. Aud a government which |

\ GOOD and fair Government, whose policy
j. >uci! as TO command the appreciation OF
IL" good ana PATRIOTIC, would not be driven
{, re employment Of scapegraces and re-
!2LtiG:s persons. Ii would lind good men
!, trust, and the people would bear their
bug;baps checr|ulIy.
Thc robbcries so deep into the ground.
1ii!c roots are fixed in the policy of the
Government, and the only way to correct
ten is to reform the Administration.
iA.re must DC dccorous and Just public
pollcy-one equal and impartial towards the
whole people. This will secure good men
for the administration of public affairs. But
al governments that are unjust and cruel
tllt! ire partial, Eud administered for the
Srdt'ication OF personal ambition or VIM
d.c'iN2uoSs, must be in the hands Of vicious
I'D ruthless men and thieves. This is the |
case the world over.
Gu viii be no better until it is re- |
formed.
