A False Assumption.

Tho position of the democracy
on the question Of state rights is
clearly defined in the constitution
itself BY that instrument all the
rights and powers not delegated
to the federal government nor pro-
hibited to the states, still reside in
the states and with the people
thereof. Let out radical friends
ruminato over that proposition.
Let them understand the true dem
ocratic doctrine. We arc not
frightened by the bagaboo of state
rights, and we point to the Ian
guagc of the contribution, and all de
cisions Of the supreme court, with
out An exception, in vindieation
Of our position. The great national
democratic party has always been
sound on this question. The re-
publican party on the other hand
has been playing fast and loose on
this proposition. When il was out
of power III the nation but in pow
or in the state, it has adhered to
the doctrine or ultra state rights
Such was the ease in this state in
1879. Then il insisted that the
state could bid positive defiance to
IL decision of the supreme court of
the United States. When the
party came into power, it made an
about face" ON this very question,
and made itself notorious at the
close of the war by it's utter disrc-
gard Of every right Of the states,
In 1876, when il claimed the cleo
ton Of hayes through fraudulent
canvas by the state authorities Of
louisiana and Florida, the right of
the state TO prcpctrate the crime Of
n false canvas was SO dear, that the
national congress was denied the
right 10 even inquire into the fraud
ulcnt proceeding. Now when ii
hopes by the aid Of the military
and Il horde of hireling marshals
and deputies TO control the election
that shall determine the next pres
dental election, the stalwmt are
seeking Ia raise the false ISSUE Of
ultra state rights. But sensible
people will not be frightened hy the
grim phantom of the dead doctrine
Of secession. When war the ended,
