knows that after the recent election the
men who were elected by the people
President and Vice President of the
United States We're counted out, and
the men who were not elected were
counted in and seated. / disclaim any
thought of personal wrong involved in
word of mine shall that be dwarfed or
degraded into a personal grievance,
which is in truth the greatest wrong
that has stained our national annals.
To every man of the four and a quarter
million who are defrauded of the
fruits of their elective franchise, it is as
great a wrong as it is to me, and no
less to every man of the minority will
the ultimate consequences extend.
The evils in the Government have
grown by success and by iInpurity,
and if they do not arrest their own
progress they car never be limited ex-
cept by external forces. If The men in
possession of the Government can in
one instance maintain themselves in
power against an adverse decision at
the elections, such au example will be
initiated. Temptation exists always,
and devices to give color of law and
false pretenses on which to found
fraudulent decisions will not be want.

Governments have usually been the

our faith in the pride that we had es-
tabli>hed a mode of peaceful change
TO be worked out by the agency Of the
ballot box. The question is now
whether our elective system in

administrative questions of policy.
1t involves the fundamental rights of
people; it involves the elective princi-
pie; it involves the whole system of
popular government. The people
must signally condemn the great
wrong which has been done to them;
they must strip the example OF every
tn ing that can attract the imitators;
they must refuse n prosperous inn
munity to crime. This is not all. The
people will not be able to trust the au-
thors or beneficiaries of wrong to de-
wise remedies, but when those who
condemn the wrong shall have power
they must devise measures which shall
render a repetition OF the wrong for
ever impossible. If my voice could

sovereignty of the people shall be res

triumphantly as on the very eve of its
fall. Seven years z a corrupt dy-

many years, and which became so dis

could not remove or quiet the public
discomfort. The Democrats will make
no factious opposition, o will they

NEW YORK, June IL.
A Tribune Washington special says:
Abiding to-day to the posture ofaffairs
likely to grow out Of the new policy
Evarts eaid: II anticipate no trouble
with Mexico. All we desire il an OBJ
servance OF rights as a sovereign
power and the inviolabiIity of American
soil. These we must have, and, as the
Mexican Government has expressed
q determination To see that these two
requests are observed, there can be nc
cause for complication. Al the same
time the United States forces from
Laredo to Brownsville will be yigilant;
they have their instructions.
