the Legislature from ssspassing any law
staying the collection; of debts" OF
II ,,I1mpaiiing the obligation Of contracts 2
Thus showing the determination Of the
Radical party that no. relief shall be
given by the passage of any law stay
ing the collection of debts. !"
And the pretension put forth by the
hadical party that they have furnished
relief by the recent amendment to the
bankrupt law, is equally unfounded.
Mr.. Hughes himself has. given the true
version OF this matter In asletter writ
ten by him before his. recent speeches,
and Immediately after the passage of
the amendment-wheIi the matter was
fresh in his recollection he says: Sat
his (Judge Critchers) request, there.
tore, drafted, at his desk in the House
the following bill the amendment
and he then adds: s'Thus you see this
was not party measure n@any sense
Worthy Republicanszand worthy Dem
ocrats We'd with each other in the zeal
and efficiency Of their friendly cempe-
tltion for its advancement"
When Mr.. Hughes reads his own
letter and refreshes his recollection, he
will doubtless cease to treat this amend
ment as a ''party measure, and accord
the credit of its passage alike to ".wor-
thy Republicans land worthy Dem,
ocrats;'" and thus the relief furnished
by this measure is dine alike to Dem
ocrats and Republicans.
In conclusion, if yon wish to exclude
the Radical party from power and to
continue Conservative rule sinthe State,
you must adopt thorough organization
in every county and city. See that ev
cry voter is registered and adopt effect
i've measures to insure his attendance
at the polls. Vote FOR Conservatives
and treat independents as allies of the
enemy; and fill all the offices with hon
est and capable men if you wish to ac-
compish what we are struggling to do,
to restore the old State to her former
position-to her honorable place among
her sister States and make. her in
prosperity, what she is in rennwn, the
peer of any State in the Union.
