The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1876-11-02
The Day is Very Near.

We cannot communicate with our coun"
try readers, except through the Daily DsS-
patch, again before the day OF election OF
President OF the United States. That cleo
ton is more important than any tnao was
ever held In the Union, and we appear 10
our friends to do all that Is in their power
10 secure on that day the triumph OF true
repub,icanism and personal independence.
They are both in peril, and they should be
defended with public devotion and heroism.
The war put in power a party composed
chiefly OF political bummers and scurvy
politicians, who resembled the camp-fol-
lowers OF great arm., living upon the scat
tered otfal and the plumber OF distressed
people. A party, the main body OF when
was composedol such men, has had the Gov
eminent in ITS possession, and its admins
tration has brought upon the land unprece-
dented suffering and discomfort.
This INSCRIPTIONS party has degraded
the powers OF government by exercising
them merely for party and personal advan-
fare. and no Government so administered
could fail to be scourge upon the people
who lived under it. The money of the
Treasury has been employed to bolster the
Radical power and bias the pubic judy
ment. The President has flagitiously made
the Department Of Justice the department
OF wrong, and used it for this purpose. he
has quartered soldiers Of the Federal army
in the States, without authority, to complete
a system OF tyranny and fraud such as was
never dreamed Of by the fathers OF the he
public who framed our system Of Govern
ment.
The system by which the people have been
thus oppressed subordinatcd State authority
to the will OF the President, and. we have
seen that Iunctionary carrying out his pur
poses through usurpations that left no bar
rier TO his setting aside the Executive au
thority OF any State and ruling directly hel
citizens. So quiet and peaceable citizen:
have been arrested and detained in custody
by Federal officers without any color OF ALL
tbority, Thus constitutions, State and IA
tionaI, have been completely overridden.
This sort OF government was necessary u
prolong the rule OF the party born OF war
whose breath of life depended upon the in
flaming Of the sectional passions and spread
ing the spirit of discord everywhere. w
have beheld our system Of government sub
yerted-the people intlamed with iealousle
and disllkes-the public confidence dc
stroyed-commerc and industry OF all sort
depressed or stagnant-with distress AM
apprehension everywhere.
The question in the approaching election
is, Shall we be delivered from the rule
the vicious and corrupt party which Ia
caused oil this confusion and distress, an
this peryersion OF our Government? Tha
is the question. 1t is, furthermore, while
question OF getting rid OF such nationa
abomination, question Of substituting 10
it government directed by honest AM
reliable men-men who will be guided by
wise and honest construction Of the Constr
tuition and laws-and men who are anxious
to promote the prosperity and contcntmen
OF the people.
All, we want peace; and we can only gel
it by turning out the corrupt Radical parti
sans. We want honesty, and that is the
only way to get it.
The election of TI.DEN will be erecting {
wall between the past and the future. Tho
political rhetoric of the dishonest politicians
that is woven Of the passions Of war, vii
be heard no more. People will be allowed
to harmonic, forgetting the by-gones ant
cooperating with one another as to the true
means of restoring the peace, and thrift
and dignity Of their country. We shall
have no more disputes about the exercise
by the national Executive OF doubtful pow
ers; we shall no longer suffer or lament
over the sutIerings Of others from the hruta
administration OF Federal power.
Fellow-citiZens, these are things to ami
mate all persons who desire to make theil
own land happy and prosperous at home
and respected abroad. Let us all so to the
polls with the pious devotion Of worship
pers, and offer up our hearts and our bodies,
and all that is ours, to the service OF oul
country, for her redemption from misrule,
dishonor, and tyranny. .....
Freemen, be truly free, and vote for Re.
publican liberty.
