was predicted that as soon as they got
into power they would undo all the leg
islation that the Republicans have
placed upon the Statute books since
Abraham Lincoln first became Presi-
dent, in reference to the slavery ques-
tion and the laws passed to save the
Union and preserve it. Where is there
an intelligent man who has kept him
self booked up in relation to the actions
of the Democratic party since they came
into power in the lower house OF Con-
gress years, ago that cannot truthfully
say that their schemes are revolution
ary, and tend to upset and render nu-
gatory and void all Republican legisla.
ton The Constitution as it was and
the nation of their fathers is what they
clamor for. This means, to turn back
the wheels OF our country's history, for
quarter of a century and to re-estab-
lish slavery. There are honest Detr's
crats, who scout such an idea and say
it never can be done, but the same
Democrats said some years ago that the
rebel brigadiers who are now in Con-
gress, would never be enfranchised
again. How is it Where are the reb,
el brigadiers to-day The Senate and
House are full of them and there are
enough of them to control the whole
legislation of Congress. Their pur-
Doses aie being unfolded almost
every day. They attacked the treasury
OF the nation to get it to pay rebel war
claims, and in many instances have
succeeded. Whenever they had tke
opportunity, they turned union sol
dier out Of Office and put rebel soldier
in. They forced the government to
withdraw the troops from the turbu-
there should be no check to violence
and fraud in carrying the elections.-
They have tried every year to reduce
the army down to such a minmuA
number as to be absolutely worthless
for the suppression of violence or the
maintenance CT peace. They have sue
ceeded in having rebel soldiers pen
stoned by the United States govern
ment and even made an attempt to have
the name OF jeff. Davis, the arch traitor
of them all, placed upon the national
pension list. They are now engaged in
struggle with the President to break
down every barrier that has been erec.
ted by the Republican party to prevent
fraud and violence at elections. The
President is to be stripped of the pow.
er of using troops to subdue insurrec-
tion and violence in the States and at
the polls on national election days. This
means that in the South nobody will
be safe in voting unless they vote the
Democratic ticket. The Jurors test oath
is to lie repealed that ex-lel els may fill
the jury boxes ofthe South and t. C ear
all indscriminately who violate the
United States laws. There is not much
need for this, ,as witnesses are already y sc
intmidated that they cannot tell the
truth in court Of justice and stay in tn,
old rebel States. There are to be M
more United States supervisors Of elec
tiops to witness the stufing of South
ern ballot boxes with tissue paper bal
lots, and there are to be no more Deputy
United States Marshals to arrest thos'
who interfere with fair and free bal
lot. These are some of the thing
which the Democracy now have OF
hand, in the most of which they viii
be successful if they can bulIdoze Pres
ident Hayes into signing their laws.
There can be no doubt that they in
tend to operate in the North as well a
in the South. If NV York an Inai
ana were only Southern States, tha
they could make them solid fur tn
Democracy as they have made Georgia
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana
there would be no trouble about tn
repeal Of the feleral election laws
With the means they have made use {
to insure sold South, they could a
easily control those two Northern state
with as without all the guar as well tn
government has thrown around the ba
lot box. 1t is not in the South prime
palIy whtre the repeal of these law
are to operate, it is solid now and til
federal election laws there SO far lay
been but the verieSt far, but Ne
York is the objective point. New Yor
must be carried for the rebel programn
in 1880, or all the efforts of the reb
brigadiers in Congrcss to overtnro
the legislation OF tie Republicans fc
the last twenty years will prove abe
tive. Indiana is tolerably secure no
for the Democracy, but New York the
must have, or they cannot elect Demt
cratic President in 1880. Queen Eizs
beth was so welded to life that whe
she came to die in her last eXpirin
