In line, the House Of representatives
can petition Congress to relieve us from
the isurpation. The Wheeler compro-
mise has been ruthlessly destroyed by
Kellogg and the Radicals, and exists no
longer. 10I
Kellogg Is no more the Governor
Dc iacto, tolerated by virtue OF a COM
poet forced upon us by Federal inter-
hences. He Is but a uslTper, having
never held the slightest title 70 the pO-
Ition he fills, and daily trampling the
pnstitution under foot-a man beyond
he pale Of law, whose authority no one
! bound to respect. .ih
