Stalwarts believe In State sovereignty
State without sovereignty is lire wasp witt
out his stern gearing. This republic is, how
ever, but one State-America, comprsin
what was formerly the United States-and
Is sovereign.
The North and South can never live tc
gether as equals on account of inconpat
bllity OF temper and difference i'm social an
Intellectual rank. But while we cannot hav

HOW 70 MAKE Us A NATION.
Complete the revolution of '6O-'G5 by
First-Formally changing the name OF thi
republic to America.
Second-Abrugatng SO much OF the cOnsti
tuition of what was the United States rs con
ilicts with national solidarity. For example
such clauses as recognize the individual de
partmGnts as States that gives to each State
two Senators irrespective OF population--tha
gives to each State one and only one vote, In
case @ Presidential election is thrown into the
House-that permits each State to have q
constitution OF its own-that recognizes State
courts-that inhibits the national Executive
and his Cabinet from reviewing so-called
State legislation. m.
Thirdly abrogating all State constitt;-
tiOns and granting 70 the provinces or depart
ments thus created charters, under which the
citizens Of each department might transact
their business.
Fourth Withholding charters from
those rebelious States that forcibly resisted
the Revolution of go '65.
Filthy inaugurating Grant into the
American Presidency March I, 1881, and keep
ing him LII the presidential chair Till the ma
ton was consolidated.
This would complete the Revolution, and
the Stalwarts will never rest until they have
accomplished their glorious work.
WHAT THE Niger NEEDS.
What we need Is encouragement. not curses !;
protection, not violence.
We clip the above from the New Orleans
Weekly LoUistdnidn, edited, owned and printed
by niggers. who sent us q copy asking All ex
change with the Sentinel. We will grant the
gentlemanly darkies the boon they crave, that
they may study African ethnology from
stalwart standpoint. What we need 10 en-
couragement, not curses; protection, not VIC
lence." That is the niger all over. Why,
you great WOolly -headed boobies, what you
need ~ to learn to Course" and practice "vio-
lence," and all these other things will be
added to you. Ii you have not sand enough
adiers and their white-livered retainers, then
the Republican party made great mistake
in giving YOU your freedom. Ii these unhung
traitors dare MODEST you when you go to vote,
shoot them as you would SO many dogs. Ii
you have not the courage to do so get on the
auction-block and let them sell you to the
highest bidder.
A six-shooter is what you need Mr.. Mig.
ARE WE a NATION?
Sentim entaIly speaking we are.
Stump specifically we are.
Fourth OF Julyically, we are.
Spreadeagley, We are.
Yet the sentimentalist, stump speakers,
Fourth OF July orators and spreadeagle writ
ers all profess profound admiration for the
constitution, which says-we are not.
We are not and never can be u nation so
long as there are thirty-eight States and
thirty-eight constitutions, each State having
two Senators in Congress and entitled to one
vote In case Of q presidential election going
into the House
We are not. SO long as rebel brlgadier sits
In Congress, OF Is 1t possible for one to get
there.
Nor SO long as the rickety, battered and
busted constitution Of the old United States
Is recognized as fundamental law.
Nor 50 long as Republicans content them
selves with standing on the ramparts yelling,
This Is a Nation.
Nor will it be until Grant Is seated In the
White House, surrounded by Stalwarts, and
they proclaim tne-NatlOn.
COMPLETE THE REVOLUTION.
That Is to make us Nation-change the
the Constitution-cancel State
lines.
Abrogate State constitutions -reorganize
the Senate-elect Grant-proclaim the Ma
ton.
1t was the passage of the fugitive slave law
that inaugurated the revolution Of Co IS.
Taking advantage eff the Constitution the
people OF the North asserted and maintained
the doctrine OF State sovereignty, as no South
ern State ever had the courage to do.
Massachusetts,, Michigan, Wisconsin and
other Northern States detied and successfully
resisted the United States government, IN its
ridiculous and false claim to supreme sover-
eighty over the States, as they had right
to do under the constitution.
They defied the So called nation, and made
1t crime against the sovereign States to aid
In the enforcement OF the odious fugitive slave
law.
They had right to do So, for them this re-
public was a league, not a natiOn-a United
States, not a State.
But this browning act of infamy by the
slave-holding barons ohthe South kindled the
fires of a revolution destined to sweep them
and their institutions from the continent
The North rose in its majesty, purged the |
halls OF Congress OF their Slavg-holdiIg and |
doughface najorities.
Placed Lincoln in the presidential chair,
And inscribing Freedom on its banners,
And swore by the eternal gods that this |
great republic is q nation, that liberty is ma
tional, and that any State that dared to re-
slst by virtue OF any pretended sovereignty
should be eoerced.
This was not constitutional, 1t is true, but
revolutions are the higher law, to which all
constitutions are subordnated
And the advent of Lincoln to the chief
maglstracy was the elimination Ut the peace-
full part of the revolution.
ZIP I'LL that time State sovereignty was a
sectional shuttle-cock, tossed from State to
State and from section to section, as party aud I
political exigencies required.
Eleven sovereign States resumed their SOW
ereignty and detached themselves from the
United States; but then it was too late.
The election Of Lincoln was a political reyo-
luton, whose very essence was the transform
ing OF the United States into nation.
The eleven States refused to concur in the
revolution.
But revolutions never go backward
And blood seems TO be as necessary to legal
