The writer Of these sentences must
have known that under the vetoed bill
the presence Of the army In State would
ensue from and bo made lawful by the
callsof State for aid to maintain peace
and good order within Its borders. The
"c0nduct Of an election, local or nation
al, has nothing to do with the arm y out

peace. 1t Ii TO be presumed that State
wishes 70 preserve the peace of the

American President should send TO an

not dlscriminate between national and

on what pretexts inspired or promoted.
Mr. Hayes speaks about "Ghe principle
Of the statutes enacted by the fathers"
but he cunningly omits to explain that
under that principls in 1892 aud l705 only
the State militia could be used, and then
only on . 'judicisp osrtifica 10 Of the me-

city to use the army inside of State
" thout waiting for the State to ask (, r
such use. This Ii distinct arraignment
Of the fidelity of the American States
and people to their own obligations and
Interests. Mr.. Hayes declares that it is
vital 70 our liberties that the Executi We
should have power on his own motion
to use the army peremptOrily on voting
days in order to enforce Federal j,.dicial
process or Federal laws IL tho marshal
should be obstructed.
But how is Mr.. Hayes in " Washington
to know that marshal is obstruc:ed in
Oregon? By telegraph, it will be an
swered. Very WE'LL But if Mr.. Hayes
will turn to his own proclamation at the
end Of the volume of Federal laws for the
last session, just issued, he will see that
he has therein confessed that under Sec
ton !, ,298, enacted in 1861, which he calls
an "ancient and Fundamental law" he
cannot by that law or by any other law
now use the army till he he's issued "a
proclamation" to the voters to disperse,
unless the State asks for aid. Grant of
course would pay no attention to the
statute restraint. But under 1t the
whole argument of the veto tumbles 20
the ground and the real ultimate object
Of the veto stands nakedly revealed.

No one questions the fact that more
cases of whites, suppressed and

Female Regulator, than by all other
remedies combined. Its success in
Georgia and other States is beyond
