Let There. NE No Compromfse
with Vgrome

Ehom they elected to restore the State
o its prosperity and honor and that
5, that they ask and secure every L
legitimate relief and reform which the
sictory has made possible. If this be
not done, if our Legislators be controlled
BY a spirit of concession 70 those who /
have ruthlessly trampled upon our rights
and showed an utter and contemptuous
disregard Of our wishes and welfare, the
fruits of the victory will be lost. What
ever the public interests call for, what
ever is legal and right, that viii strength
en- the rule Of the people, and destroy or
weaken the influence and power of the |
characterless adventures and tricksters, |
who brought poverty and disasters of all
kinds in their train, as the natural result |
of their rule, should be fearlessly done
by our new lawmakers.
The people want no hobnobbing with
Adelbert Ames, or with any Of the mis-
cradle partisans under him. They want
an honest Government of the people,
and for the whole people, and to obtain
that, there must be wiping out, as far
as possible, of the thing misnamed gov
ernme mt, of which Ames is the head, and
his partisan appointes and followers are
the members.
1 fully agree with TIE CLARION in
regard to impeachment. Believing that
Ames has been guilty of thigh crimes
and Inisdemeanors," | conceive il to be
the sworn duty Of the House te 1horOugh-
ly investigate the many charges made
against him, and If, in its opinion, he Is
guilty, let it prefer charges 70 the Senate.
If, upon trial, he is proved guilty, let no
maudlin sentiment Ofsymplthy or policy
influence the Senators, but s'afi with his
head, so much for Ames." Understand
me. l w0nld not have him convicted
unless proved guilty; but DO say that
the members of the House will be false
to their datyni they fail to investigate
the charges, and that the Senate, sitting
as a court; will be false to the oath which
each member will have taken, if it fails
to convict upon plain proof of guilt.
Let the examination be thorough, and
the rial, if one is necessary, exhaust the
case in every aspect, so that the proceed
ines and result shall be commended

Again: the people do not want, and
the Senate has it in its power to prevent
the re-appointment of any of the parti
san Judges, who have soiled and dis
graced the ermine in all the districts O
the State, without an exception. TIL,
reason of dissatisfaction with the presen
Judges and chancellors is plain; our ju
dicial officers owe their positions to thei
politics, and ! have yet to hear of tn
