startling proposition that the 3S 900; ;oO0ofi

per cent? Of the foreign gosIE, and cons
duct ninety two per cent. oftlTe internal

ternal commerce determined upon and
ruled by a portion of the country that
pays iblt eleven. per Heent. of the taxes,
imports only four per cent. Of.the foreign
goods, conducts buteigiIt per cent. of our
Internal commerce, and who for five years
sought by every means in their power to
destroy thea country. The solid South
win find that while the leaders of the
Democratic party may yield TO- their de-
mands, the rank and file will not.
When the issue. is tried and the jury rem
ders its report, it will be found that, with
out leaving the box, the verdict will be a
solid North resisting these insulting de-
Hnands so long as they are made. y1saq 10.

alright to be stal alXarts, tswGth all that the
name implies n tits he or they who had
some faith that the policy of kindness
would be reciproeated, and that good re-
suits would flow therefrom. We feel this
consolation, at least, that while hereto
fore in their murders, outrages and denial
of political rights, they justified them
selves, and many in the North sympa-
thized with them, because of the alleged
aggravation of carpet-bag and bayonet
rule, they must accept the full RESPONSE
biltty fora their misG1eeds. They have
no carpetEbaggers ruling them; they have
no ibayonets interfering with them; they
have home rule in the largest sense I'm
def thislstate of things al1must admit that
the denials of political rights are grOsser
and more offensive than ever before. I'm
der the abuses of home rule, their maiori-
ty in both Houses of Congress was OBJ
tained. Under it, they come into Con-
gress and pickup their nninishedspeech
es of 1861, when they seeded and left
the halls of Congress, commencing just
where they left OF then, in advocacy OF
the doctrine that led them then, and will
again, unless it is sRipped in the bud, ,''
into secession and rebellion. They de-
.mand the repeal of all the war measures
upon our statute books, made. as they say,
during the heat and strife of civil war.
They even have the effrontery to Haunt
the allegation of the patriotism of jeff.
Davis in our faces, and assert that they
always haye been, and are yet, the true
friends Of the Union, and the aBlest and
most ardent defenders of the flag. Ef
Under the of King Caucus, the
Presidential Office is sought to be degrad-
ed, coerced into submission, and surren-
der of its constitutional prerogatives to its
dietation. under the threat that unless this
diGtatioil is submittedsto the Government
shall be starved to death. In this attempt
they have met with vigorous resistance
| from the President. which we honor
and applaud. aaasz .a5
His vetoes are models of force and logic
and under them the country is electrified,
and the party is united into an energy
that will result in victory that by its
Emagnificence will utterly paralyze the
mad attempt to overthrow the dearly
purchased results of the war. 75ssa.s

say about the use of troops to preserve tbs
peace on election day. They have . holy
horror of the army. In the Democratic
days they could use the army with perfec
propriety to force slavery upon the liber
