pdssed
The legislature of the United States to
have power to institute courts in each
state for the determination of all matters
of general concern.
All laws of the particular States, con-
trary to the constitution or laws of the
United STATES, to be utterly void, and,
the better to prevent such laws being
passed, the governor or president of
each state shall be appointed by the
general government, and shall have
negative upon the laws about to be
passed in the state of which he is gov
ernOr or president"
Do you longer doubt the political
heresies of this leader of the republican
party Read his speeches in the con-
gress of the United States, He not only
enunciates the heresies referred to, but
goes further, and boldly prOclaims the
British as the model government. The
fair inference is that he believes it is
wisest and best to have a king instead
of a president. 1t is wiseSt and best to
have lords and dukes and earls, mar
quises, knights, etc. Is it wise to
continue party in power who are sus-
pected of such sentiments, or who are
led by q man of Mr.. Garfield's heresies,
and contaminated by his practices? Is
there voter in this audience who will
risk the institutions of this country, or
the traditions of the fathers, in the
keeping of such man? If there be, L
warn him that he is selling his birth
right as an American citizen, and may
sell his children into the serfdom of an
empire. Will the republican party set
the constitution at defiance? Let the
answer come from the odiOus and I'M
constitutional measures under which
/ elected governors were removed and
| others appointed i'll defiance of the plain
1 letter OF the constitution by military
satraps. Let the answer be Numbered
/ in the ears of the American people W
the civil rights bill. which defied the
! constitutional inhibition against class
! legislation.
If your memories of the dark past fail
you, pause while you examine the
musty but bloody records OF Brownlow
and Chamberlain, and Yarmouth and
Kellogg; of Clayton and.Bullock and
| Davis, who crushed the liberties OF the
south and bankrupted the treasures OF
| every state which aided the rebellion

itarv camps and the disfranchisemeni
laws: the plumber and pillage of pri-
yate property; the violation of all law
and the defiance of every rule of de-
cency.
You are reminded in every political
discussion of the enormous sums eX'
pended after the war TO satisfy the vi
tiated tastes of public officials and t
appease the hunger for public plumber
| the waste of the revenues; the crue
exactions upon labor, etc., etc.
Time would fail me pass i'll review
the instances of gross violations OF th'
constitution by a radical congress. W.
bore our ills for ten long years-year
of gloom and depression, and only by
presentinga solid, unbroken column Il
the enemy have we emerged from GU
long night of bondage.
Only five years ago we gained dem
: ocratic House, and year atterward
democratic Senate.
Now we are struggling to get the eX
. ecutive, with victory just in slght
every democrat will stand to his guns
1t is no time for broken ranks. III
line must be closed up. There is II
safety in struggling. Press unfalter
, inUly to the front, and with your eye

your proud leader into the enemy
camp, and he who knows no defeat WI
| lead YOU to a glorious victory. Falter
follow the ignis fatuus OF low ta2
t greenback, independent, and your de
: feat is absolutely certain.
But it may be said what has this t
: do with the discussions in the stat
$ campaign? We are all united on Han
= cock.
!. Sirs, did you ever see a successful ba

you ever know a victory won by,
