known and advertised as the assassins
of constitutional liberty.
The sum total of the legislation of
the Forty-third Congress, in reference
to the South, seems to have been
prompted by Radical party spirit, and
desire to continue in Office the pre-

leading Republican paper, in referring
to the bills above mentined, says in
reference to the Civil Rights bill, cit

shown to be unconstitutional by Sena-

the same high Republican authority
says: "All the circumstances of its
origin, and the kind of pressure which
has been brought to bear upon Repub-
licans to induce them to support it,
prove that the President and bis ad-
visers are urging it forward in pursu-
ance of a settled policy"
Reader, that settled policy is the
same that induced the President in 1871
to send a message to Congress urging
the passage of the "Ku-Klux" bill, il
is nothing more nor less than policy
to make himself master of the politi-
cal situation in the States of the South,
so that he may re-elect himself in 1876
for third term as he did for second
term, by the power given him under
the "Ku-Kluxn bill in 1879.
