YOUR YEARS FEoM NOW.

Has the fair.minded citizen OF either
party considered the inevitable result OF
such wrong as that which has been per
petrated in Louisiana, if it is finally con-
summated by Congress? Suppose that the
Democrats, having appealed in vain to the
sense Of honor Of their opponents, having
exhausted every peaceful method Of redress
without success, having receted step by
step, under protest, as their opponents,
growing bolder in fraud advanced, should
finally give way; should declare that they
valued the peace and prosperity Of the
country too highly to endan.er it Longer
by continuing contest, in which all the
power was On one side and all the right on
the other. What then? They will take
their appeal to the ballot boxes. Foul
years from now the parties would gather
up their strength for great struggle, and
the contest would be far more bitter ever
than the last. The Republicans would
probably be beaten, as they were this year
but by more decisive majorities. What o.
it2 This year it was easy, with nc
previous preparation, for the West
to turn the electoral vote Of two
States by means of the manipulation oI
the Returning Boards. They voted TO-
Tilden, they we're counted for Hayes.
What is there to prevent three or four, or,
If necessary, half dozen States being
turned at the next election, il necessary,
to keep power in the hands Of the Re-
publican party? The same men who have
carried out this infamous conspiracy
would still be at the head of the Govern
ment, and would probably have been pre-
pairing for such an emergency during all
the next four years. The army Of Office
holders would have increased by thou.
sands-it grew under Grant fully 10000;
the army and navy would be still more
completely under Republican CONTROL and
all the vast powers of the Administration
could be swayed for one purpose How
does the fair-minded citizen like the
prospect? Would this be anything but
corrupt despotism under the name
Of Republic? Why would it not be
best for all honest citizens to say now that
this wrong must not be carried through,
when Republican Government can be
saved by peaceful means rather than wait
till the crime has been repeated, and revo
luton will be our only hope? Let the
honest Republicans speak out now.

WAKING UP THE FACTS,

There is growing confidence among all
impartial men that Governor Tilden will
be inuagurated President and take the
helm Of State on the Of next fouth March.
The fair-minded Republicans all over the
country are following the lead Of james
Russell Lowell and all the Bristow Repub
licans Of Massachusetts in their belief that
Governor Tilden has been honestly eIscle j
and that the Office 10 which Tie people have
chosen him must be resigned to
him at the tipe appointed. The
appeal of prominent Republicans Of Phil
adelphia for an honest oolnt and decision
Of the election on the facts and not by par
tisan predjudices, has also had amarked
effect. The truth is the Republican mana.
gers went ahead too fast with their scheme
Of stealing three States. They thought the
mass Of the party would sustain them in
any act designed to continue its control,
and in this course they were ably seconded
by Governor Hayes, who under his careful
reserve and invariable dignity, con.
ceals no little cunning. Now they begin
to find that if they had paused to test the
sense of the party they would probably
never have begun this supplementary cam
paign. Now in all directions their own
soldiers are rebelling at being expected to
aid in the work of bandits and ruffians.
"The Springfield Republican" declares
that every Bristow man in Massachusetts,
feels a. Mr.. Lowell does. The decision OF
the Supreme Court in Florida, showing the
return of the Canvassing Board on the
Governorship to have been fraudulent, has
excited the suspicion that the return on
\ the Presidency was fraudulent too. Before
Nhe time comes to inaugurate our Presi-
dpt, 10 many Of the independent men will
haze shown their belief that Mr.. Tilden
hasbeen honestly elected that there will
probably be no opposition to his installa.
ton. Then we shall have peace, and a
Government by the Constitution.
