their posts of duty and valiantly
fought for liberty, truth and right.
And when the vortex of wild extrav-
agance, recklessness and dissipation
has threatened to engulf our beloved
country, they have raised their voices
repeatedly in earnest and eloquent
protest against the course of those
who would betray their trusts, who

ties, and who would sacrifice the re-
public, itself, upon the alter Of their
greedy, ignoble, avaricious ambitions.

surance to the alarmed watchman
who paced the warehouse, he noise
lessIy entered the counting-house.
The safe where the money and val
liable papers were kept was wide
open. Kneeling before it, with both
hands full of bank notes and bills, hur'
riedly transferring some to an open
leather case on his right hand, an6
putting others back, was John Hale
himself.
In an instant Mr.. Reginald Denny's

Place Them Side by Side.

1t behooves every voter who may
stand in doubt as to his duty in the
coming elections, to refresh his mind
as to the comparative records of the
Republicans and Democrats, in Con-
gress and out, since the close of the
war. For, if after Witnessing the un-
precedented and notoriously whole
sale rascalities, corruptions, thieviugs
and frauds Of the party dominant for
the past 16 years, he still halts between
two masters, as it were, and honestly
desires to serve the better, q careful
retrospective examination of the party
in power with that in the minority,
placed upon their own respective mer-
its, may prove eminently satisfactory
and salutary. But it is perhaps of
first Importance, if we would get at
the sincerity and the motive principle
underlying party, that we should
critically compare its promises before
election with its subsequent acts. If
the doubling voter will therefore re-
vert to the advent upon The political
stage, of Grantism, or, rather to the
campaign directly preceding the eec
ton eight years ago, as also that of
four years ago, and recall the glowing
promises with which the political at
mosphere was rife, the virtuous and
eloquent professions with which the
"Bread and Butter Brigade" of STEM
torian 'Reformers" egaledthemselves
from the stump, and held spell.bound,
their audiences and then review
their subsequent record, and observe
just how far their pledges and promi-
ses have been fulfilled and their re.
forms carried into execution-he will
If ne lacks not that great element Of
manhood, common sense, be convinced
that he has nothing better to expect
from that organization which has
broken its every pledg ge and talsified
its every promise of the past, nay
which has betrayed the nation, and,
through its continental peculatlons
and appropriations Of the peoples
money to its own base ends, has
brought us to the verge of bankrupt
cy. Is it not true ? Has not the Re

4 Review of the Republican Plat
form.

Before we proceed to review the
platform offered the American people
as theory of Republican policy, it
becomes necessary to state briefly the
nature of our government, as we re,
ceived it froln Our fathers in 1875.
1t was a Democratic government :
a government that acknowledges the
inherent right Of the people to gov.
ern themselves u government that
recognizes the people as the makers
executors and the subjects of the law,
and recognizes the law to be the will
Of the people or the will Of the gov
erned. As a means of expressing g
this will the Republican form was
adopted and in the Constitution of the
United States, article 4, section 4, as q
means to express this will, was guar.
anteed to every state, not that ii
should be a republican state, hut simp.
ly the method of expressing the will
of the people should be in same form
as in a republican government. Now
if am correct, and this government is
changed in its workings from these
fundamental principles, then it has
been done by artifce and is fraud
upon the rights Of contiding people.
That it is changed there can be nc
doubt, and we will endeavor to show
briefly some Of the many reasons that
gives us that assurance. In the
republican preamble you will see an
acknowledgment that Providence
had something to be about purging the
land Of human slavery, and at that
time the republican party came into
power etc. That God or Providence
had anything to do with the war that
plunged peaceful country Of forty
millions Of people into yretchedness
and ruin, is sacrilege, and if any such
power did have any such arrangement
ment for the purpose of purglng the
land of human slavery, it was a COM
plete failure, and reflects more dis
grace apon the protector (whether it
be Providence or the republican par
ty) than credit. Slavery is not a name
but a principle, and | aver that there
never has beena so much slavery in
America as to-day, and the crushing
burden is still increasing.
ARTICLE 1sr. The United States
as a nation, when first given us by our
Fathers, was not league, but the re.
publican party is league, and is at
variance with the natural and inalien
able rights of the people, and instead
Of protecting the people in these
rights it has taken them away and
fastened them in perpetual bondage
for their own agrandlzement.
SECTION 2.-It is remarkable how
this party, coming into power at the
commencement of the war. to remove
slavery as claimed in the preamble,
should now claim that they have per
fected those state governments to the
one hundredth year of their existence.
and then mark how they are embody
ing these inalienable rights. What
kind of embodiment can it be? Moth
ing more or less than take them from
the possessor and merge them into 6
crown, and that worn and controlled
by the leaders of the republican party
"And until these truths are cheerfully
obeyed, or if need be vigorously en-
forced, the work of this party is un-
finished" BY that suppose they
mean to declare war if the people dc
not consent to carry out these notions
OF government
