Senator David Davis, of Illinois,
in acknowledging the receipt of the
resolutions Of a joint caucus of the
democratic members Of the General
Assembly of that State indorsing his
votes on the army bill, writes:
at is hardly necessary for me to
say that / am in favor Of perfect
freedom of elections from the inter-
ference or the presence of any part
of the army at the polls, because
that opinion was emphatically ex-
pressed on the floor Of the Senate
This is a government Of legal author
ity, founded on the constitution and
the laws made in pursuance thereof.
One Of the grievances Of which our
forefathers complained was that the
king had quartered troops on them,
and sought by military power to CO.
cree them into submission. 1t is lit
tie less than a public scandal, after
a century of national existence, that
any party could venture to ask the
peoples approval of q species of ty-
ranny that is forbidden in England
and wherever else the parliament
tary principle is respected"

disaffected democrats to walk up and
save the rotten hulk of radicalism
from utter humiliation by an indig-

hackers and democrats for whom
heretofore, no slight has been too
scornful, who have been abused, vii
lifted, traduced, lied about, even to
