It has thus struck a blow at the fundamental
principles Of constitutional government. anu
the liberties of the Citizen"
Mr.. Greeley, in his letter accepting the
Cincinnati nomination, repeats the doctrine
of the right of the States to regulate their
own domestic affairs, in even stronger and
more explicit terms. He says:
Sill. That, subject to our solemn constitu-
tional obligation to maintain the equal rights
of all citizens. our policy should aim at local
sell-government, and not at GENERALIZATION
that the civil authority should be supreme
over the military; that the writ of habeas cor
pus should be jealousy upheld as the safe,
guard of personal freedom; that the Individual
citizen should enjoy the largest liberty con,
sislent with public order, and that there shall
be no Federal subversion Of the internal policy
of the several States and Municipalities, put
that each shall be left free to enforce the
rights and promote the well,being OF lib ~.
habitants by such means as the Judgment OF
Its own people shall prescribe"
With this assertion by the Liberal Con-
yention OF the right Of State self-control,
subject only to the supreme Constitution
and this still more emphatic reafarmation
of it by Mr.. Greeley himself, the imputatlon
Of ceutralism against the Presidential can
didate whom both Democrats and Liberals
are supporting, is gratuitous and ground,
less. II President Grant should be reflect
ed. his party will have secured o popular
approval OF its usurpations; but II Horace
Greeley, with his positive condemnation oil
them, should be elected, 1t would be such q
popular rebuke OF them as every intelligent
and reasonable Democrat would be satisfied
with.
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1872-09-19
CentralIsm.

The chief objection Of the straight-out
Democrats to Horace Greeley is centralism.
They complain Of the meddllng OF the Fede-
raj Government with the local affairs OF the
States, and their idea that the country is
setting steadily towards a despotism has
substantial foundation. The real champion
OF the policy OF Capitalization is not Mr..
Greeley; 1t is the Radical party with Presi-
| dent Grant at the head. That patty boldly
avows the right Of the central government
to look into the several States to see that
they are properly governed; IL assumes the
| right OF supervision over them 1t claims the
| authority to set aside their laws and to
supplant them with it's own, for the protec-
ton of citizens, the qualification OF voters,
| the regulation OF elections, and the perform.
ance OF other functions which come within
the scope of the reserved rights Of the States.
Mr.. Greeley, with all other Republicans,
supported, for a time, these assumptions; he
did not oppose the scheme OF reconstruction,
but supported it 10 company with Schurz,
Trumbull and others, now in revolt against
their party. They and he no longer recog-
nize or admit the claims Of the government
to intermeddle with the States; that inter-
meddling is one OF their grounds OF COM
plant against the Grant Republicans; it is
one OF the causes OF their separation from
the party. Whatever wrongs the Liberals
have countenanced in the past, it is certain
that they now demand q strict interpreta-
ton ofthe Constitution. The fourth resOlu-
ton OF the Cincinnati Liberal Convention
that nominated Horace Greeley declares
that 'local selt-government with impartial
'sutfrage will guard the rights OF all citi.
''zens more securely than any centralized
s'power;' and the address which it issued to
the people OF the United States opens with
the following challenge Of the central gov
ernment's usurpations:
1.-THE Administration now In power has rem
dered itself guilty of wanton disregard of the
laws of the land, and Of usurping powers not
granted by the Constitutions; it has acted as IL
The laws had binding force only for those who
are governed, and not Tor those who govern.

The CHARLESTON NEwS.-The proprletors
