HAYES AND STATE RIGHTS.


hibits Federal office holders from participant
ing in State politics means, if it means any
thing beyond it's own inherent spirit of tyr
amy and meanness toward the servants Of
the Nation, that
First, Federal Office holder is the repre-
sentative of distinct sovereignty which bears
the relation of foreign power toward the
State itself, and that therefore the lines
should be drawn in Difference to the equal
sovereignty of the State.
Second, That the moment man becomes
Federal officer he becomes the representative
of power which is foreign to and merely
courteous rival of, the State wherein the said
Federal officer is stationed and resides.
There could not be, by any possibility a
more marked and significant concession to the
Calhoun Doctrine than this. The Federal
office holder is debarred from exercising his
influence in the politics of the State where he
resides just as the American Minister is for
hidden to participate in any partisan politics
in England or other State of Europe where
he may be stationed. Under this Infamous
order of the Presidents, the entire Demo
cratic party is made spy upon every Federal
office holder in the land. This man Hayes is
not only a malignant enemy of the entire
" Radical element of the Republican party,
but he is saturated with, and bent upon, the
PRONUNCIATION of the doctrine of State Sow
ereignty, in its strictest construction.
President Hayes, recognizing the force of
Calhoun's doctrines, has taken steps to pre-
vent any unwarranted interference by the
Federal power as represented by the postmas-
tiers and other United States officials, in State
politics. This is the logical thing to do if the
dogma of State sovereignty is to prevail. For
one sovereign is the equal of all other SOW
ereigns Elsewise one of the sovereigns is
not sovereign, at all. Now, the President
having taken this step in recognition of State
sovereignty and its sacredness, it is but just
that the Governor of Nevada should recipro-
cate the act of comfy. He should cause, at
once, proclamation to be issued to the vari-
Gus Notaries Public throughout the State pro-
hiblting them from any participation in Fed
eral politics The American Minister in Eng
land is the equal of the English Minister in
Washington. Mr.. Pierrepont can take no
part in the politics of Britain. Sir Edward
Thornton knows neither Republican nor Dem
ocrat in the United States. 1t is sovereignty
exchanging courtesies with sovereignty Equal
dealing with equal. VIII Governor Bradley
do this thing Or will he join his sneer to
that of Governor kemper and Governor Mich |
oils and Governor Wade Hampton at the |
cringing attitude of the National sovereignty, |
as it has been be1ttled and bedraggled and !
snubbed i'll the presence of Southern State
rights VIII he content himself, in the mai
esty of his gubernatorial attitude, with this
humiliation of the National character in the |
face of the outraged Confederacy and accept
the apology of the now humbled Republic
We can assure the Governor that if he and
his southern brethren demand further proof
of the bjectness and contrition of the Nation
in its attitude toward the Sovereign States,
the poltroon who sits in the White House
will give it to him. We're we the Governors
adviser we would say it were too early to re-
ciprocate If the Nations cOntrition is genu-
inc, let it make further proof
