| II anything was wanting 10 prove that the
racent military order issued from Long
Branch by which several States in the en-
joyment OF perfect tranquility and in which
there has been no serious disorder for two
years, are subjected to the despotic rule OF
| corrupt and partisan marshals and attorneys
who havo heretofore stirred up strife, 1t
would be found in the presence and partic j.
patton OF Zach Chandler at the Cabinet
conference in the War Department.
He ia chairman of the National Republic
can Committee, an unsceupulous politician,
capable of any excess for partisan advan-
tage, and entirely reckless when others have
to bear the responsibility. No man was
more fierce ut the outset of the rebellion tor
blood letting, and none was more prudent
in sparing his own when the call to arms
came.
When the war commenced he was not 4S
years OF age,in robust health, of great physi-
cal strength, and infinitely more able to en-
dure the vicissitudes CT campaign, than
thousands whom he urged TO 20 to the front,
while he remained behind to prepare the
hearts of the people for war.
In the Senate and on the stump, far away
from the sound of cannon and the sight of
CoHfederates, Mr.. Chandler was very blood
thirsty and energetic. On the War Com
mittce he thundered against Lincoln, pro-
jscted campaigns, created armies In way
that made him hero of the peace establish
ment, and with fervor that revived the
glories OF the whiskey insurrection.
In the intensity Of his enthusiasm during
the great struggle Mr.. Chandler was anxious
to be President "for only forty-eight hours"
In ordar to show the world what u Michi.
gander born in New Hampshire could do.
Failing in that lsudable ambition, he tried
his best to tic the hanos, sneer at the puny
efforts, impeach the capacity and impair the
strength OF Mr.. Lincoln, who did not ill the
measure of that Office according to the
Chandler standard. No voice was 30 loud
as his in crying havoc or for "lettlng clip the
dogs of war"-except himself. In fact he
was terrible man with his enemy at dis
cret distance.
Since the close of the rebellion this peace
warrior has, il anything, been still more
belligeient. He wanted no reconciliation,
no reunion, no return to old relations, and
no terms of any kind. His statcsmanship
was brief; TO sow the lands of the South
with salt aud do much hanging, though be-
heading suited his personal taste best. Hence
he has supported the worst bills for recon-
structioD, resisted the removal OF disabin-
ties, sustained Bullock, Kellogg, Spencer.
and all the theiving carpet-baggers, and
Dragged OF his policy 10 keep alive the EN-
bers of civil strife.
1t YVES peculiarly proper when military
manifesto was 10 be issued, on the authori-
ty of living declarations made by Kellogg,
Spencer, Sypher. Patterson, and other no
torious Adventures, who have been kept In
place by fraud and force only that Zach
Chandler should be called to assist in coun-
sci with Williams, their retained attorney,
and Belknap, who signs himself Secretary
OF War while serving as a mere recording
clerk for his employer. His presence stamps
the whole transaction with Its true charac-
ter.
This desperate game has been played
befere by the same parties to operate in
elections. That the present agitation Is
the result OF wicked conspiracy is now
manifest not only from tho best sources OF
information, and exposing the falsehoods o:
KeIIoOp and his associate plunderers, but
from the concert with which the whole crew
of carpet bagSers and scalawags simultane-
ously rushed to Washington and Long
Branch with their fabricated stories.
HLike his master in the White House,
Chandler is a candidate for reelection.
The current is setting against legislative
;obbers OF his pattern who have degraded
The dignity of the Senate and made it
aven more venal than the House OF
Representatives. In spite OF the 6OOOO
majority for Grant two years ago, he
trembIes for Michigan and is alarmed by all
the signs around him in the West where
the neople are swapping the chains OF po-
ntical bondage, and in the East where they
are discarding frauds like Poland.
10 save himself it was necessary to make
n sensation and as the carpet baggers stood
| in need of The sume expedient, they cem-
hined. and the result is before the country.
| The Attorney General censp'red with them
ond ihe President, without even an inqui-
ry. or a hearing, or any knowledge ot the
facts except that derived from this gang OF
eonspirators, ordered troops 10 sustain the
rohbsrs and scsmps who have pillaged and
rnired the States which they have occupied
lib the satraps of vulgar despot.
The conduct OF the President is glarlng
outrage upon law, order and society," Tor
which he deserves impeachment. he pro.
claims a monstrous falsehood III an oillciai
order. and throws the whole power OF the
Executiye around the thieves ana outlaws
Who have usurped authority and hold II
now bv means of Federal bayonets. He
has assumed to delegate his functions to
corrupt Attorney General, and he drinks his
whiskcy at Long Branch While pack OF
mercenary marshals are let loose like blood
hounds upon m innocent and oppressed
These enormlties cannot be continued
w;th Immunity, To believe so would be 10
doubt Gods Justice. The day OF retribu-
t,on ia near q. hand, and no false alarms
and fraudulent devices, manufactured by
Chandler and the carpet-baRgers VIII tuih
aside the popular wrath or stay the uplii'-
| II hand of punishmept.
