GARFIELD "GLAD OF IT."

Fifteen years ago, when Gen. Gar
field bad just begun to carve out his
political fortune, be recognized the ten
dency Of Radicalism towards the sub
version of our simple Republican sys.
tenn of Government IL is not to be
supposed that he was the only states.
man Of his party at that time who
made the same discovery. No discern.
ing mind could have failed to read the
events of that period as he read them.
But he was the only Republican who
stood upin Congress and boldly avowed
that we were "tending towards a
strong Government" and that be was
"glad Of it," that tendency has con.
tinucd to this hour, so far as it has
been possible for the Radical spirit to
control National affairs. 1t has been
steadily aggressive on the Constitution,
steadily grasping power Tor the cen
trial authority that the fundamental
law locates in the States and with the
people thereof ceaselessly working to
change the structure of our Govern.
ment, not by open revolution, but by u
process more dangerous because less
likely to be detected and resisted. We
know the people Of the United Ssates,
the honest masses of all parties, are
devotedly attached TO the form of Gov.
ernment that the fathers gave us.
They all believe in the sovereignty Of
the central power within its prescribed
sphere Of action, but they don't want
that sphere enlarged. Thoy cherish
the right Of local selfgovernment, the
the right Of the States and the munic.
ipahties created by the States, to con-
troll all those affairs not embraced in
the sphere of Federal authority. Gen.
Garfield will find no response in the
public mind to his ardent longing for
astrong Gov Nernment. There strength
enough in our system as it stands. 1t
was strong enough when it came from
the hands of its builders. The defeat
of the "strong man." at Chicago, was
a protest against the sentiment which
Gen. Garfield has cherished since his
entrance upon the political arena.

KIND or MAN HE IS.


The true and proper use Of the military power,
besides defending the national honor against for

ernment and to secure to every person residing
among US the enjoyment Of life, liberty and prop
erty.
The right of trial by jury, the habcas corpus,
the liberty Of the press, the freedom Of speech
the natural rights Of persons and the rights oi
property must be preserved.
Power may destroy the forms, but mot the prin.
ciplos Of justice. These will live in spite even
Of the sword.
The great principles Of American liberty still
are the lawful inheritance Of this people and ever
should be.
Armed insurrections on forciblo resistance to

Nothing can intimidate me from doing what !
