We favor free people, untrammelled
BY bayonets, unfettered by hireling
knaves under the name Of deputy United
States Marshals and Supervisors. These
are the instruments Of tyranny and mean
subiugation. A free, untrammelled peo-
pie are formidable to tyrants only"
We oppose monopoly by laaO. A just
government, knows no favoritism, but
secures and protects all its Inhabitants
by equal and just laws Under our sys-
tenn of government, priviIege should be
unknown, but the rights of the people
regarded as eternal and sacred. The
safety of the people is the supreme law
mot the establishment Of schemes Of
plunder to enrich the few, and rob the
mass of the people, and thus dissrrange
and deplete, until business and industry
are paralyzed.
The foregoing in brief, is the history
OF Republican rule, with its evil and
deplorable results.
But the impudence Of the Republican
leaders and journals passes common un'
derstanding They do not admit any
fault in their policy. They are always
right and never wrong. 1t was "consti'
tutional to issue greenbaCks, when they
did but when they had their National
Banks going, and their moneyed rulers
wanted the greenbacks out of the way,
then the same greenbacks were pro-
nounced unconstitutional. These direc-
tors and rulers of the Republican party
seem to be governed by no established
principles Of juetiCe, law or logic, Their
whole object seems to be to incorporate
wealth and establish and build up mo.
nopoly.
Hence their appeals to the baser pas
sions, arousing and keeping alive sec.
tional hate as thus; "the South madesolid
by the whip and pistol" Confederate
brigadiers," "the actual purpose of the
South is to avenge the Southern Confed
eracy," &c. Their howl about those
engaged in rebellion, and their
malignant meanness in calling in
question the patriotism, even of
those who lost limbs and suffered
wounds while serving in the Union
army. Nothing,it seems, will appesse
the Republican ghouls, but joining in
their mammon worship and deyilish
rule. e..t ~
In 1861 Congress resolved that the war
was to preserve the Union ami the Con.
stitution, with all the rights of the States
unlmpaired. And now that their carpet.
bag, bayonet, robbing rule has ended, by
the people of the North arousing and
electing Democratic Congresses in 1874
and 1875, these "stslwsrts" are gnashinG
their teeth with rage at their discomft-
ure.
All this accounts for the intense, ma
lignant hate of the Cincinnati CONNER
ciaI and other Republican journals. The
Chandlers, Shermans, Blaines, Fosters
ct al, are also fostering and boiling to see
the people of the country sick with their
rule of hate and oppression, and deter
mined to cast it off as an unbearable des-
potism. .s.r a
These leaders twaddle about "the sue
cess of their policy of resumption" as if
it we're honest resumptionof specie pay
ments. This, like others of their acts. is
fraud, plain and palpable. 1t is N ore
policy Of Sherman's presumption, as
Charles Reemelin demonstrates in his
speech at Springfield, which we gave
last week.
Another radical howl is Estates rights"
Their Clamor on this point shows that
they are enemies Of our system Of popu-
lar government, for it is based on home
rule, beginning with the township, and
going on up to the county and State, out
Of which grew the Union and the Fed
eral government itself.

nous consent of the States present.

Such is the ending of the Constitution;
but the Republican leaders want an i'm
mense central government, propped by
standing army as in Europe, and aided
by the power Of monopoly and money
in every corporate shape. This done,
the States as provinces. then dukes,
Sherman. Blaine, Chandler, Foster &
Co., would be happy.
The contest in Ohio this fall involves
these questions. The issue is liberty or
despotism. Let no true American de-
ceive himself Let no good citizen fail
to dohis duty. Never was there an elec.
ton more important. In tho late sss-
sion Of Congress the Republican party
insisted upon using at the polls FIVE dol
lar q day birslings and the army. Moth.
ing but the discrimination Of the Demo
cratic members in the Senate and House
prevented an appropriation 10 that end.
