L SUCCESSOR is to be chosen; the Forty
third Congress to be elected.
The peoples votes, white and black
North and South, will thus decide the flu
ture destiny of the Republic, select its rli'
Iers, prescribe their course.

BY the newspaper--for it includes every
other agency. 1t makes known events and
facts-among all Influences the chief. 1t
assemblies the vaster outside audiences
which cannot gather to the State House,
the pulpit, or the stump. 1t is the con
slant interpreter of mems affairs and OF
error or truth is the daily seed-sower. !.
Next November is our political harvest
time. AS SOW we shall reap.

pushed by those who approve it's aim.

the peoples prosperity, peace, and pro-
gress in n government administered on the
principles and in the pnre practice of JEFF

fount and origin of the present corrap-
tioLs, extravaganza, misgOvernment, snb-
version of public liberties, and insecuritS3
of private rights in our rulers lawless
usurpation of interdIcted and nndeIegatef
powers-usurpation that to-day MARCHES
on to the sahjagation of pop
Mar rnle and the possession Of dictat0rial
power-for by acts of Congress General
Grant may even now destroy the freedom
of State elections invade the States at his
pleasure, and declare martial law of his

honor of republics, and wonll preserve
public credit by punctnal payment of pub

fewer and fit objects all appropriations Of
the peoples money (to-day more than dou-
bic, nearly treble, sthe appropriations Of Il
Democratic Congress eleven Years ago,
not counting annuties to Indians, pen
sions to soldiers, and interest on debt. J
and who would oblige all spending of the
peo}pe's money got by taxes to be with
honesty and thrift: likewise all those who

day upon those who already own too
much.

number of commodities toXed by our tariff
from thousands to few DOZENS and SO

fraud, and untetter scores of our native
industries.

unlawful tax, like that on incomes; every
unjust tax like that which gives banks the
peoples profits on national currency;
every unequal and indeterninate tax, like
that levied most crpelly npon the poor
