although we call ourselves freemeu, we are
10 oil intents and purposes, slaves, so long MS
YOU continue to make US hand over to you
the earnings of our labor, for the essence OF
slavery consists ia compelling one nlsn' OF
class of men, to work for another without
equivalent. We are determined to relel'e
ourselves from this intolerable bondage,
far as we can legally and peaceably, and II
Won do not help US, you must at least cease
10 mock US by pretending to be an antl'slaVery
man upon principle
A PHARIsEE's BRAyADo.
You tell us that the Repu0l'can party
"will punish its own rascals." Inc newspa'
per report of your speech says that TINS was
greeted with laughter from the Republican
Side of the house Certainly it sounds IKE
the broadest of jokes. lfyou meant y IN
earnest, please say what you found tins claim
of impartial Justice upon. You Will hardly
prove it by showing that Bristow and Wilson
succeeded. with much tribulstion, In convict
ing certain manufacturers of crooked WINS

Of office 1t is vain to deny that there 49,
and has been, general system OF dishonesty
pervading all ranks of the civil service,
which, so far from being punished, is pro-
tected, encouraged aud rewarded by inc
highest authorities You have set your races
like flint against all Investigations lehdihg
to exp Sc rascaity. Proof OF that II PROOF
we're wanting, would be found in your own
denuneiation of the present congress lot
pushing its inquiries into those regions where
venality and corruption might otherwise nave
dwelt in safety.
In all your southern measures you nave
shown positive adherence Of honest gov,
,,NA oil n
mower men whose characters were notorlousy
bad, and maintained them while they perpe-
trated the most shameless robbeiies. 1ou
, resisted every effort of the oppressed people
TO throw them off, and when those Efforts
/, we're successful in some of the states, you
/ mourned the fall Of the felons with sincere
5 lamentation. Just look at the crew

they are preying upon the PROSTATE people

10 rascals has been equally signal; mean tn
