ican people are yet ready to give up the
right Of choosing their rulers by the
free exercise Of the right Of suffrage,
and to suffer them to be appointed by
corrupt and dishonest canvassing boards
in defiance Of justice and the popular
elections.
The cause of South Carolina, and Of
Louisiana and Florida, is the cause Of
the whole country. This thing was not
done in secret corner and, would the
people retain their rights and a free
government, must not be allowed to 60
unrebuked. Every legal and peaceful
means should be exhausted to obtain
justice and to enforce right If they
cannot be obtained in South Carolina,
the case should be assumed by the whole

tribunal enforced at whatever cost.
