willing to abide its action, but 4 Congress
is to BE- oyerawsd by the military then the
time has arrived when every citizen worthy
Of the name Of Freemen should rise up and
annihilate the usurpe-s.AD DemocraticH House
should never permit the President OF the
Senate to decide upon electoral certificates
and create President, by his own will
and pleasure. Since Logan declined to
serve on the Committee 10 perfect . mode
Of counting the electoral vote and Conk-
ling appointed in his place, the counting
Of Hayes, has received black eye in the
House of its frienda and the demoraliza-
tion Of Norton, Chandler & Co., is un-
bounded. Not single precedent or au'
thori,y is advanced by the Radicals, nor
can they cite any, to sustain their new
tangled doctrine, that the President OF the
Senate must coun, the electoral vote. They
are gradually abandoning the vicious
theory, since they heard the thunder IN
the North and West. Gen. Grant in a
recent interview said II have been ser
want of the people for sixteen years, and
On the 4,h of March next propose to see
how it seems to be sovereign" well, he
has the soldiers here already to play the
sovereign. The question now is, shall he
be our sovereign? If the old maxim, that
the receiver of slolen goods is as bad as
the thief, remains in force Hayes cannot
mount the Capitol steps on March 4, and
deliver his inaugural without seeing the
scornful fingers of thousands pointed at
him, and hear the indignant voices OF the
people crying in his ears, There stands
the receiver Of stolen votesV Congress
ba, thus far taken no notice Of the extra
ordinary accumulation Of Federal soldiers
here in Washington. These troops are
quartered at the Arsenal, where hasty &C.
commodations have been prepared for
them at no inconsiderable expense to the
Government. The Arsenal itself has been
brought into telegraphic communication
with the Senate chamber at tlhe Capitol only
few days ago. In view Of these threatening
military movements, it is about time sena-
tors and members asked in their official
capacity, against whom are these troops to
be used? Is it not wiser and better to take
counsel before the storm rises, than to-
stand with folded arms and silent lips,
while the elements are brewing evil!
Morton, Sherman and Others who are de-
Tending the frauds of the Returning
Board rascals, base their hopes Of success,
on the unwillingness Of the people to fight
for their liberties.
The RAIDS don't like the speech Of Gen.
Banning. they say it was rather to be re-
grstted because it breathed too much the
spirit Of wah," exactly, the spirit Of
wah," is what stands in the way of the
conspiracy to foist Hayes in the Presi-
,!ency. The point is narrowed down to
this, will the Republicans follow out to
the end, the path they set to work to
make their man President Grant only
awaits the signal to carry out the designs
Of the conspirators by the use Of the
Federal troops stationed here within
sight OF the Capitol. That he will do
what they threaten, let no man doubt.
The question is, will the Radicals give
the signal! 1t is high time the Demo-
Gratis, particularly of the North, would
arouse to the true state of facts and rush
| to the rescue of the liberties Of the people
Washington is all alive to-day. Every
body is calling on the last Radical Presi-
dent 1--WE hope) and his Cabinet ministers,
amid tremendous snow storm, now fast
falling which puts quite damper on the
shoddyites. A lappy New Year. May you
visit US next New Year, and accompany us
in paying our respects to Samuel J.
Tilden. DEMoc1TEs.
