FtUO,r-clttze1,S We are here, as il
day. of old, to take counsel together for
the good of the nation. On the 4th OF
March next there will be Democratic
mai0rity in the United States Senate. In
the House OF Representatives our enemies
have now a majority of some thirteen.
The Democrats will strain every muscle to
maintain this majority, and thus secure
control of both Houses of our National
Congress. One of the principal purposes
which they have in view in SO doing, is to
make the attempt to impeach President
Hayes and Gust him from the seat in which
you placed him by your ballots. Think of
it, fellow citizens, to unseat the man whom
you American people have seated or, fail
ing in that, TO throw the next election into
the House, and place man tainted with
treason in the chair made sacred by the
martyred Lincoln! Are you prepared for
this? 1 know that you are not. Twenty
nine hundred millions of rebel claims are
now knocking at the doors of Congress,
and if the Democrats succeed this Fall.
the trucking Northern element OF the
party will open the doors to them at the
command of the Southern Chivalry. Are
You not afraid to trust these men? I am
no coward, but / am afraid of them.
AM NOT DEMOCRAT,
And have never been accused of being
one, even by Mr.. W. E. F. Deal. Thank
God that charge has never been laid at my
door ! / believe Democracy to be funda
mentally wrong. There may be good men
who are Democrats believe that there
are, but the theory of itself is wrong
Since the foundation of this Government
two theories have struggled for suprem-
acy. The first was the snti-Federal idea
represented by Jefferson. 1t was danger
Gus. Opposed to him were host of Fed
eralists, prominent among whom was
Alexander Hamilton, the greatest man, l
believe, who ever lived. The Jefferson
theory was based on the dissipation of
power from the central government to the
States, from the States to the counties,
viduals. and from individuals to
GOD ONLY KNOWS WHERE
The Hamiltonian theory demanded a
strong central government, government
strong enough to protect itself and its cit
liens at home and abroad. Neither idea
was, perhaps, safe in the ultimate, but the
Democratic theory was certainly utterly
destructive in its ultimate execution. You
may see the workings of the State
Rights " doctrine in Mexico and the South
American Republics. Mexico has had
fifty constitutions within the last century,
and disturbance and revolution is the
normal condition of the country. That is
Democracy run mad. That ia Democracy
in its ultimate. We see it worked out
right there. Do you want to see the ex-
pertinent tried in this Republic? l do
not, and therefore it is that l say, although
the Republican party may not be perfect
no party can be, as no individual can be-
[ should be reasonable to myself if did
not declare that l could not be Demo-
graf.
There is a plank in the Democratic
platform adopted at Carson which en-
1orses hard money. If the Democrats of
