HAYEs, POSTMASTER GENERAL.

HAYES POSTMASTER GENERAL.
The disgraceful exhibition which a per-
jury created presidents plant tool makes of
himself by publishing an open letter to the
people of the south is entirely in consonance
with the degraded level the fraudulent post
master general occupies in the estimation of
all honorable men. From the day Key
permitted Hayes to place upon his neck
cabinet dog collar he has been plant tool
in the hands of the presidential fraud.
A mercenary traitor to his own record
and to the section he misrepresents, he was
doubtless reported by the crime stained con-
spirators who placed Hayes in office rs pur
chasable, and that he would accept position
under stipulations that his pay would de-
pend entirely upon his capacity to play
sneak and utter such jargon as would be best
calculated to obscure the infamous record of
J. Madison Wells, his returning board associ-
ates and their confederate conspirators.
Key has shown himself to be as
veral as the most distinguished
radical burglar under Grant, and as treach-
erous as MOdoc. Without the courage to
speak the truth in view of the fact that any
exhibition of manhood would stop his pay,
he plays the role of mendicant and consults
his stomach and CUTS rather than mis- judg-
ment and conscience. He pirates OF Hayes
title in advance of any attack upon the title
of the presidential fraud, and exalts the
action of the electoral commission and the
Forty-fourth congress, as if truth and
law, instead of perjury and forgery,
had been the basis Of that action.
This dirty work is engaged in for pay. Key
plays sneak that he may retain the position
of Hayes hound, and be fed upon such
crumbs as fall from his masters table. 1t so
happens by the irrevocable DEGREES ofheaven
that it is always right 10 hunt down Grimm
ais, unearth fraud, expose conspirators and
vindicate the truth. Hayes is in office by vir-
tue of crimes that cesselessly cry to heaven,
crimes that shock the foundations of repub-
lcan institutions, crimes that blaken the
American name, crimes thatreversed the will
of the American people, crimes that trampled
upon the ballot-box. dethroned liberty, beat
down sacred rights and disregarded consti-
tutions and laws. To expose these crimes,
to analyze them, to set them in order so that
their damnable hideousness may be seen of
men, is the purpose of the Investigating COM
mittee, and it is against this patriotic work
that d. NJ. Key comes forth from his kennel
to bark, that his dog meat rations may not
be cut of. Key, in his devotion to the in
terests of his MASTER would continue his alb
ject subserviency though it should be demon
strated with mathematical certainty that
every step taken by Hayes from Ohio to the
white house was upon forgeries as black as
night and perjuries as bIisterlng as were ever
approved by the devil. The resolutions that
passed the house of representatives creating
an investigating committee leave Hayes IL
tie out of the question. Its mission is to
find out by what acts of internal scoundrei.
ism Hayes obtained the Office he now di-
graces. and this work Will 20 forward. This
fellow Key has no more influence with the
southern people than Benedict Arnold
would have had with the continental
congress after his treason was discovered.
The soath is too chiyalrous to be
detected from night aud duty by a creature
whose high ambition is satisfied with posi-
ton that subjects him to services 50 essen
tally abject as to merituniversal execration.
This poltroon assumes that he can mimi
date the American people in their earnest
desire to know how and by whom they were
swindled out of their choice for president
and vice president, by crying war. In this
he exhibits himself as the cabinet fool
The people propose from this time for
word, that truth shall prevail, that crime
shall be more odious, that law shall be
respected, and that their will, when ex-
pressed at the ballot-box, shall not be abused
by such miscreants as Wells, Sherman.
Noyes & Co. Nor will they change or modi-
fly their purpose, though Key, shall write a |
thousand open letters in the interest of fraud.
