THE REVOLUTIONARY MIST M
Pur DOWN.

II there DO q citizen OF this entire
Republic. who does not see that the
object Of tho Potter investigation IL
ultimately to unseat President Hayes.
that man must be wanting in ordinary
common sense. On Wednesday Carter
n. Harrison Of Illinois offered a resolu-
ton in the House declaring that such
was not the intention Of the revolution
lists, but the Democrats refused to vote
their full strength and thus prevented a
quorum. Then they brought the party
whip to bear and forced him to with.
draw the resolution. Here was achancs
for the Democrats to prove that the
Republicans. in accusing them Of rev.
dictionary schemes, were in error. but
they refused TO accept II, and thus vir-
tually confessed that tho charges Of
their opponents were true. Yesterday.
the National Democratic Committee met
in Washington. for tho avowed purpose
OF promulgating an address which
should countsract the effect Of that
OF the Republican Congressional Com
mittss Of last week. After an angry
and heated discussion. they declined to
commit themselves to a pledge not to
| attempt : o unssat the President. and in
stead. sent forth to the country the
embodiment Of Democratic wisdom in
this obscure. milk and water resolution:
Resolved. That tho action Of the House
Of Representatives In appointing . com.
mitee fully empowered 10 investigate and
report upon frauds alleged TO have been
committed In tho late Presidential cleo
ton. ~ the end that tho truth may be made
known 70 the people and . repetition Of
such fraud. DO prevented In the future,
meets tho approval Of this committee.
That IL all that the Democrats have To
offer q people who are trembling ON the
verge Of u revolution which will shake
this nation from center 10 circumference.
Again we say. the man who fails 10 200

the House also. they will at once pro-

and Vice President vacant, and recog-
nize the President pro tenn. Of the Senate

q mock election in the House can DO

den. This is a perfectly feasible scheme.
and depends for its success only upon
tho possession Of the House OF Repre-.
scntatiyss by the revolutionists. Tho
American Rspublie will then 10 in the
condition OF our neighbor Mexico. with

This is NO vague picture Of the imagina.
ton. It Ia q scheme upon which Sam
Tilden has been working for months,
and which his tools In the present House
are now preparing to execute. ~ they
tacitly confess by their repeated refusals
to deny IL.
Of course when this takes place, the
revolu,iouists must be put down by force
Of arms. We have no doubt OF the ulti-
mate result. Patriotism is seated too
firmly in the hearts Of the American
people to allow n institutions to 10

tious old criminal who stands convicted
in our courts Of perjury and svindling.
General Grant will take his old place at
the head Of our army. and with loyal
men ut his back. he will crush out this
new rebellion so eifcctually that treason
will never again raise its head In our
land. This time we shall hang our trai.
tors, not nurse them to turn and sting
us again for our kindness and ill-eon.

no loyal man noed have any fear.
But NO shrink instinctivsly from the
horrors OF another civil war. and such
an event can be averted il the loyal citi.
gems Of the land will but see their duty
aud hasten to do IL. The ballot box can
save Us from all tho misery which the
Rsvolutionists are preparing for us.
Without the House Of Representatives
OF their back they are powerless. Let
every man who loves his country and
desires to see the return OF an era OF
prosperity. vote the Republican ticket
next Fall. Our eyes are fully open to
the danger OF allowing Democracy to
retain It's power. and we cannot plead
ignorance in the future. II this awful
conspiracy against the peace Of the Re-
public succeeds. II will be through the
culpabls negligence Of the American
