"kENOLUTIOS. - nose VINO raise the
cry of "revolution," and daily repeat it,
because the Democrats in Congress pro-
pose to repeal the laws by which the
voice of the people has been stifled, the
will of the majority set aside and the
Presidency seized upon by threats of
armed men and the use of the bayonet,
know we'll THAT they do SO in the face Of
the fact that the very laws sought to be
repealed were enacted by amendments
tackled on TO appropriation bills--just as
it is now proposed to repeal them. The
cry of revolution is the last which the
Republican party and its sympathizers
should be the last TO raise.
"Revolution" has been the life of that
party. Had it not been for that revolu-
tion by which the voice Of the Demo-
cratic party in the Northern States were
sttied by regiments of soldiers all over
the country paid to do the dirty work
Of party with greenbacks, the war
upon the reconstructed States would
have terminated long years before it did.
Had it not been for the revolution" by
which eight hundred thousand negro
voters were brought TO the polls, without
right or justice and in defiance of all
equity, to vote away the inherited fran

OF a corrupt and guilty party, peace and
harmony would have been rs ablished
soon after the war closed, and the debt
incurred would have been fully half paid
off, through the introduction of more
democratic and economical measures.
This party which now raises the cry Of
revolution" has opposed every move
