will than ours can be-, oi /
Dresant constituted. The tidal waye, NJ
il wW called Of two years ago, which
gave tho II ouse of Representatives, by u
larss majority, to the Demqefats' fAlled
to affect the policy Fof the Executive
branch OF our Government IN the least
It's only effect has been to give the CON
troll of its disbursements to the party oil
reform and economy and that oppor-
hnity was not neglected. Under the
able leadership of Mr. Randall who, II
An English Minister would 90 down in
history with his name linked with the
Peels Greys, and other great
reformers, tho Democrats were
enabled to effect an annual saving
to the country and people of about thlr
w millions of dollars in round figures.
This was not as much as Mr. Randall
asked, and contended for, but was most
satisfactory. Thirty millions of dollars
was a lhfge stcahge fund, and, OF course
the Radicals WINGED at the retrench-
ment. 1t went through, however, IN
spite of all opposition, including Exc
cutive threats to close the PosCoilice
and other Departments OF the Govern
ment, and the country is now 80 much
better oil, and not n single wheel OF the
Government has been stopped n day.
Tho election of the reform House OF
Representative was equivalent to II
vote OF want of confidence in the Radl-
cal leaders. This has been followed up
by decisive popular majority in favor
of the Democratic presidential candl-
date as we'll as by an honest and fair
technical majority in the Electoral Col
lcge and yet, in spite Of all these man''
festations of the popular will, the old
diseased system still prevails; the cor
ruptionists are srill in Office, and that
"organiaed hypocrisy'-thc Radical
party-still directs the course of the
Federal Government.
No English government could stand
under these repeated manifestations OF
popular displcasurc. We must endure
our wrongs little longer till March
certainly, and perhaps longer unless
the Radicals abandon their sedltlous
! designs, or are unable to effect them
Grant and his CONDUCTORS have been re-
garded with suspicion for the past three
years, yet, under our system, it vas I'M
possible to get rid of them, The people
have twice voted that the government
shall return to the purer and the Older
practices, that military intimidation and
| interference with the undoubted rights
| of the States shall cense that the Radi
Gals are morally incompetent to admin
lister this government, and that 1t Is
safer in Democratic hands. The English
system, in this respect, would have
saved two years of misrulc two years OF
agony for the South, am an eternity OF
disgrace for the country.
Still, we are not in favor OF making
any striking alterations in our Constitu
ton. We recognize the fact that the
best institutions will be failures when
| their administration is entrusted to bad
men, and when they are manipulated
for partisan purposes.
| Our institutions have stood the test
of being unskillIully administered at
times. They are now standing the
more trying ordeal of being wIongiully
alphabetically and traitorously con
Quoted. No form of government would
or could give any satisfaction, or secur-
| ity, when in such state, The King
dom of Heaven itself was once dis.
turbed by such Internal Vaccinations.
Punishment from the joys of high es-
tate was the remedy then applied to
the Satanic crew
| We have little hell Just over our
Rio Grande frontier. How would it do
to Danish Grant, Chamberlain Chand.
Ter and the rest of the evil spirits to
that more congenial cline? The politi.
cal birthstone there is ready-madc, and
we can supply the Mexicans with some
choice ready-made devils, full of diN-
bolical energy and runous expedients,
and guaranteed to keep the country as
hot as they like, as long MS they live,
If the Mexcans will take our office
holders, both big and little devils, we
will forgive them all our indemnity
claims, and recognize their territorial
integrity forever,
