democratic representatives i'll Congress As
guilty of revolutionary attempts, and repro
bate their action rs calculated to strike at the
existence of the government itself. He de-
nounced the efforts of the democrats to break
down the election laws, and approved the We
toes of the presidents, while neither iustiiying
nor tolerating the military interference with
elections. dcnounces false pretences of con
spirators who though protesting free cleo
tons, sustain mob law in the south. He
calls upon those who defended the union, to
unite in resisting the designs of those who
are attempting to regain by legislation what
they lost on the battle field. Resumption,
the browning element OF the republican tinan-
cial policy; denounce the replacement OF the
