THE PEOPLE.

The theory of our government is that the
people are sovereign, hence we have heard
much in the past about the sovereignty of
the people," the sovereign people" the
twill of the people" and so on, indeffi-
nitely. The theory is cotemporaneous with
the theory of Estate sovereignty" ''state
rights" etc. Evidently for these theories
there is a solid foundation somewhere: the
bottom facts we conclude sustain the theory.
The foundation rock of the govern
ment is the inalienable sovereignty of
of the people--this gone, and the govern
ment sinks out of sight. 1t is this right,
existing before the constitution was made,
and which the constitution exalts and af-
firms, that the radical party proposes to
destroy. 1t was this right that brought the
people to the ballot-box in November-fOr
it is through the ballot-box that the sover-
eign right of the people to change their
servants can be constitutionally proclaimed
The radical party have at last attacked
the ballot-box-" Christless whelps," they
for the sake of power would bury
the constitution = beneath the cinders
of a popular volcano. The simple PROPOSE
ton of the people is to protect and preserve
their rights 1t will be well for the conspir-
ators not to mistake this purpose. 1t is as
fixed as a decree of Jehovah. 1t is ada
mantine in its ingredients. 1t will confront
dangers without regard to their character
or consequences. The people Of the United
States have walked too long in the high
places of freedom to consent to skulk be-
meath the shadows of usurped power. There
are millions of children to whom
their fathers are to bequeath independence
or servitude, liberty or subsection to the
rule of despots. If they are recreant to the
sacred truth now, it had been better If an
hundred years ago every womb had been,
by the fiat of the Almighty, decreed barren,
and the edict for man to multiply and re-
plenish the earth revoked. But the people
are not likely to submit to the mandates of
conspirators, or sell their liberties and
the liberties of their children for
price of less dignity than life.
In this crisis the people demand leaders
Timid men will not do. The people in their
terrible awakening are trusting the men
who i'm other days led them on to glorious
victory. These are invited again to the
front. II they come languidly, or not at all,
the people will appoint others. Prudence is

will, if combined with courage and a lofty
purpose Washington was the embodiment
OF prudence, but he was always in the van
with the men who hated tyranny and had
pledged their lives their fortunes and their
sacred hOnors for independence. The pres
ent is not the time for hesitating
craftsmanship. 1t is not the time to consult
doubts and fears. The people is the party
at interest in the contest. Their rights are
invaded. Politicians and office seekers can
no longer meet the demands of the times
with glittering generalities, or platitudes
that create no ripple upon the great ocean
of thought The purpose of the people is to
save the country, its constitution and all of
their garnered rights, and actuated by the
sublimest considerations that ever stirred
the hearts of men, they demand leaders who
are in full accord with them.

formed one, produced by Stoughton's "cleri-
cal errors?' Why, too, in his recent speech,
does he feign such wonderful patriotic sur
prise CD at the idea of congress excluding the
electoral vote of any state, and at the same
time he and his party, with nearly all the
radical organs, clamoring for step oward
revolution by insisting upon giving to one
man-and he the mere tool, the mere clerk
of congress-the very power that he refuses
to the representatives of the people? Sher-
man and Morton are gotten up on pretty
nearly the same general pattern. Sherman,
at long intervals, is occasionally decent. Nor
ton never is. And if he ever has that ap-
pearance, or gives out that impression, then

"IMPUDENCE.-

The Cincinnati Gazette dares to talk about
the ''impudence" of the Sentinel. Look at
it. This Gazette has Endorsed all the rad
zeal rascalities for years past, and in recent
issues writes elaborate defenses of that
browning infamy of the century, that nat
ural and perfectly legitimate Outgrowth of
radicalism, viz: the southern returning
boards. This Gazette dares to claim title
to decency and responsibility, and talk
about the 'impudence" of any paper. Only
recently one of the more prominent of the
Louisiana returning board rascals visited
Cincinnati. He had recently swindled
corporation of which he was president out
of eighty thousand dollars, and now, laying
claims to some decency, gravitated naturally
to the Gazette office. Smith, the
editor, was overjoyed to see him.
Nothing would do but he must see
Halstead also. Well, we have spoken of
this before. 1t only illustrates the brass"
and ''cheek" of the Cincinnati Gazette when
it talks about the ''impudence" of the Senti-
mel and fraud" in the democratic party
while its chief receives with distinguished
consideration one of acknowledgements of the
greatest and most infamous pieces of polit-
ical rascality ever perpesrated.

Both of the above extracts are from Har-

an invigorating effect upon us, living. as we
do, surrounded by the influence of radical
organs and influential radical leaders. in

around us endeavoring to satisfy their
readers and their consciences with excuses.
arguments and palliations for the greatest
piece of political roguery of the century
Now, Harper's Weekly is as radical as a
paper ought to be, and its editors and pub
fishers enjoy good health. With Curtis as
its chief in the editorial room, and Mast
whiting out taking political woodcuts,
Harper's Weekly was one of the ponderouS
organs of the radical combination. 1t took
among all classes. A man, woman or child
who could not read could figure out, with
a little aid, any kind of looking monstrosi-
ty that Nast's genius decided to call demo
crat, or quiet, genteel angelic-looking, blue
eyed treasury ripper, that this same genius
concluded would do for spotless republican.
Then the man of letters and cultivation
would turn to the leader on the editorial
page and find one of Curtiss best compost
tons, which are always good, and which are
always readable and interesting. All the good
that was in Hayes or the radical party was
fully and convincingly brought out. All the
weak points and positions of Mr.. Tilden and
his followers were magnifed, and at times
misrepresented, with all the force of clear
brain and a facile pen. Sometimes the
paper would even stoop down to as mean
campaign tricks as the Cincinnati Gazette or
our Journal, and with ten times the ability
Now then we find this great and influential
radical machine actually ashamed of itself

party leaders had well nigh betrayed il.

tbs puts it very mild when he speaks of the
action of the radical returning boards as
being covered with suspicion" He might
have put it more truthfully by using one of
George W. Julian's sentences when he is in

viz: "Thatched all orer wih intaDtg." That is
the condition of the radical returning
boards.
