which promises to carry the Presidential
election, has made men pause. This
general dissolution for the heresy of flush
money or protection, or for the renuncia-
tion Of the State right to demand the aux
Hilary service Of federal troops. has had one
great effect It has been general habeas
corpus or jail delivery to those who have
been captured and held to service by the
Democracy ever since the war. -
The sole basis Of Democratic organiza-
ton is hostility to ''radicslism." ]. This
issue demands that the conservative allies
of Democracy should inquire who are the
radicals. They should cast their vote
against those who shall be found, upon
investigation, to come within that dan
gerous category. I'D .s
We have frequently remarked that the
objection was strange. coming from men
who claim political descent from that arch
radical" and 'demagogue, as Jefferson
was called by the monarchists and auto
Gratis Of his day, just as his true disciples,
the Republicans, are denounced for the
same alleged offeuse Of ''radicalism."
We contend that the Republicans who
obey the law, and exhort others to obey
he law, area constitutional party.
We contend, also, that the Democracy,
which teaches armed opposition TO all
laws which do not meet the approval of
those upon whom they are to operate. are

obedience to law by complying with all
the provisions Of law It has been con-

from the law to arms. It has pretended
to obey the federal constitution, which
constitutes the colored race part of the
people, and yet denies authority to laws
enacted by the vote of these people.
A gentleman who, received the Demo

in Democratic organ as having used the
following language; 1arn -.'''u..t.t I

cludes instead of Qmits the school question;
care not how carefully may have been
written the present one hundred and thir-
ty-fifth article Of the State constitution,
nor do care Whist may have been the legl
islation since to enforce IL, because, as I
saids at the 'outset, there are some things
which no human legislation shall regulate.
[Applause. The man who entertains the
chained hand to foot by Legislation is too
Ignorant to enjoy the few blessings we
have left under the United States govern
ment. fApplause.1 N,f :,
Here we have an opinion that the people
should not respect the civil rights law of
the federal governments law passed
under the amendments of the constitu-
ton which all American citizens have le-
gally bound themselves to obey. This is
followed by declaration that the consti-
tuition of the State may be disregarded;
that the legislation is not obligatory, and
this radical and anarchical doctrine is
consummated in the declaration that
