more than can be said Of the person

this arrogant exclusion Of the people
deserves the severest rebuke. They,

what is the Government?

The Republican leaders in Con-
gress are fond of dwelling upon the
power of the government, and the
necessity for upholding it with arm
ed men at election polls. They i'm
pute to the majority in Congress the
purpose of overthrowing the govern
ment, or breaking down its authori.
ty, because they demand that the
army shall not be employed to keep
the peace at the polls. Senators
Blaine, Chandler and Window are
continually warning the majority
that their reasonable scheme will
not succeed-that the people will put
it down as they did in 1861. "The
power of the government" said Mr..
Blaine, sis not to be put down by a
threat Of compulsion by political
party"
Now, what is "the government"
these gentlemen are talking about?
They speak as if by authority of that
government-as though they were
its recognized deputies and represen-
tatives, put forth to assert its rights
and defend its claims-as though the
government was being assailed by
somebody, and they were the mailed
champions entrusted with the patri-
otto task of protectingit. But when
we come TO look into their pretence,
we find that "the government they
are talking about is not the govern.
ment Of the United States, but only
the executive power. They utterly
ignore that very important part Of
the government represented by Con-
gress. It is the legislative body, au-
thorized to make and unmake laws,
to enact rules for the control of tho
army, and to repeal them, when
deemed advisable, Mr., Blaine sneers
