viii. If President and Congress, acting
in concert, do anything that's distateful to
the people and inconsistent with the prin-
ciples Of Republicanism they are certain
to hear Of it and feel the consequence Of
their unpopular conduct. Therefore we
believe it utterly impossible for a Presi-
dent admitting that he has majority of
Congress with him, to do anything that
could seriously jeopardize the liberties Of
the American people We know that
President Grant and the Republican party
are accused BY Democrats and others with
q desire to change the form Of our gov
ernment, but the only proof that is Of
fered to sustain this accusation is the pas
sage Of laws for the final suppression Of
rebellion il the form Of Ku-kluxism. The
Democrats thought it tyranny in Mr. Lin
coin to prevent secession, and OF course
they think 1t arbitrary cruel and unjust
in the federal government to meddle with
Ku-Kluxisn il the Southern States. But
a majority Of the American people
think differently, and do not believe that
President Grant is simple enough to even
try toperpetuate his present power through
a corrupt use OF the Ku-Klux and enforce
ment laws. The majority are firmly OPP
posed to the Democratic understanding Of
States right. and the Democratic inclina-
ton to remedy its political fortunes by the
help Of tie Ku-Klux. We are glad to
perceive that Mr.. Greeley has recently
deemed it well to be more fully under
stood upon this subjectat this time. He
is now unequivocally opposed to anything
that squints at the right of secession, and
there is reason to believe that Mr.. Grant
fully agrees with Nj. Greeley upon this
very important Subject; SO that if this can
be construed by the Democrats into
dangerous Capitalization of power in the
federal government, they are without
presidential candidate who can see the ..
dangers they profess to see. But leaving
the gloomy picture Of our government,
drawn by Democrats, we are pleased to
look upon much brighter and more
truthful one, drawn BY tie eloquent and
patriotic Senator Frelinghuysen, Of New
Jersey, upon the occasion Of President |
Grants recent visit to Newark to seview
the industries ofNew jersey. The Senator
upon that occasion was called upon to
speak, and, after paying manly tribute TO
the industries of his own State, lie gave a
glowing account Of the furnishing aondi.
