they wers defeated by the speaker,
who would not rule u . quessioa Of
privileges unless 1t clearly assailed
the title Of the President. The
resolution being o1sred, be read Q
carefully prepared opinion deciding
it to he question Of the highest
privilege because il involved the
question Of the validity Of Hayes
title. Here Are his very words:
"A higher privilege than the one
her, involved, and broadly and d.
rectly presented as to the rightful
occupancy of the Chief Executive
chair of the government, aud the
connection of high Government off,
Gals with the frauds alleged, the
chair is unable to conceive. The
chair finds enumerated among the
questions Of privilege set down in
the manual the following: Election
'Of the President. The chair there
fore rules that the preamble and res
olutions embrace questions Of priv
ilege Of the highest character and
recognizes the right of the gentleman
from New York to offer the same"
Upon this the Republicans COM
menced the struggle against the
revolutionary scheme which after five
days duration terminated in the sue
cess of the conspirators. Republi-
cans offered to favor the fullest in
vestigation into all alleged frauds
which either party charged to have
been committed but the Democracy
pursued its course shamelsssly and
relentlessly and s,ifled all inquiry
into attempts at bribery in Oregon,
South Carolina and Louisiana, and
murder and violence in several states.
Neither amendment nor debate was
allowed. The inexorable previous
question was applied aud enforced.
This scheme. II pursued. and it is
now fully inaugurated, can only
have the effect of further paralyzing
business of all kinds, preventing
the restoration of confidence which
seemed promising, casting gloom
over every household and bringing
our nation into reproach before the
civilized world. Tho peace Of the
country is the first confederation of
patriots. THIS new effort of the
Democracy to inaugurats anarchy
and Mexicanize the Government by
throwing doubts upon the legitimacy
of the title Of the President is in
keeping with the record of that
party, one wing Of which rebelled
against the government while the
other wing gave them aid and COM
fort. We call therefore upon all
who opposed the rebellion Of 1861,
without distinction Of party, to rally
again to the support Of law. order
and stable government. and to over.
vhelm with defeat the reckless ag-
itators Who 10 gain political power
would add 10 the present distress Of
the country by shaking The founda-
lions II the Goversment they failed
IN . four years was 10 destroy. By
unanimous order Of committee
