The Democracy of the second congrcssion-

Roberts, by SO triumphant a majority, not
withstanding the desperate effort made TO
defeat him, particularly in our own county.
Fortunately the intention of Mr.. Harris's

ourselves that the columns of The -IEgis did
good service,
We have every proper consideration for
an honest, open and active opposition in

AN UNwARRANTABLE ACT.-General
Grant, in sending U. S. troops into the State
ofLouisana without any requisition from the
governor thereof, has been guilty of Il most
serious breach of the Constitution of the
United States, for which, if the law of the
land was properly administered, he would be
impeached His action has not been
that of a President, subject to and controlled
by the law, but rather that Of a military des-
pot, not accountable to any law but his own
will or judgment. He may have acted thus
in ignorance of the law, and with the best in.
lentions; but the precedent is n dangerous
one in free republic. 1t should not escape
unnoticed OF unccnsurtd by Congress. Gen
eral Grant has always shown remarkable
read mess TO solve political questions with
the sword, and if his late action in regard TO
Lousi ana is passed over as many other UNI
constitutional acts have been before, the lib
critics Of the American people are indeed in
danger.
