ANGER RRAPKD IN SoRRow.-Fog more
than whole decade the Republican par
ty has misIed the people Of this whole
nation. In anger and with vengeful
spirit it had spread broadcast the seeds
Of destruction, and the people are now
reaping in sorrow Of the fruits. All the
trouble We now suffer is the legitimate
work OF the wicked men in an out Of
Congress. They have been paid enor-
nous salaries to perform the smallest
amount Of service Of legitimate char
scter, and this they furnish themselves
with clerks 10 do and had these clerks
paid out Of the national treasury. CD-
der the system, or rather want Of system,
inaugurated by the Republican party, the
most contemplate partisan, with a very
small amount Of ability, may cut quite a
figure in either House Of Congress, By
having a speech or TWO written by some
one else and printed. 1t then only re-
quires cheek to get up and read it from
elther pnnted or manuscript page. With
the HOases well filed with men Of this
character, who cared only for the money
they eouli make out OF their positions
for themselves and for their friends,
these light characters, emulating the
most detestable qualities at their head in
Executive Departments, presented no
barriers to the more accomplished and
able trieksters who moulded every meas
ure TO suit their own convenience. Thus
while the country was being robbed the
Tengefnl party spirit abroad was being
stimulated and gratifed by the injuries
thrust upon the Southern section Of the
country. The people were told that all
the labor in the great sections Of agricul'
lure south Of Mason and Dixon's line wa;
performed by the negroes and as logi
cal consequence the negroes we're entitled
70 its fruits.
And for fifteen years negroes were
forced upon plantations and into places
Of trust and power by the Congress Of The
United States, because the army which
was the immediate instrument Of thi:
destructive work was within its con
troll; and moreover when it was proposed
by the Democrats to withdraw the army
and permit the white people-the peopl,
who owned the property-to manag
their own affairs, the most violent AM
vindictive speeches were drawn forth il
opposition; and what was termed by tht
conservative speakers and press, even 0
the Republican party the "bloody shir
policy" was upheld and its continuanc
advocated. This aggrarian system ap
Piled to the South was fast destroyin;
The great labor estates and the Who'll
merchantile business III all the Southern
towns and cities, was prostrated befor
The destructive raid of the partizan so
der, booted and spured by Republica
Congress. And now we have aggrariar
ism preached and attempted to be prac
ticed in the north as consequence. Bt
it goes further than any previous attemI
in this country and includes all the gre;
railroads and the most extensive of II
industrial establishment.
The energies ofthe people were waste
in four years Of bloody war and in twely
succeeding years recuperation has bee
denied through the efforts of a pack
scoundreis while the substance of labt
and land have been eaten out and at
sorbed by thousands Of cormorant offic
holders who like the horse leech, whiC
Is never satisfied, still cry for more.
No government ever committed sut
monstrous blunders, and no party ev
Influenced such wholesale rascality, al
now the people see that suffering al
the stagnation of all business is the I
suit, which the heavy taxes coRseque
and made far more difficult to meet b
cause Of the shrinkage Of values in {
species Of property and all departme1
Of trade.
