THE KHY NOTE or THE GARFIELD CAM

ple who might be inclined to believe
that tho election Of Garfield Is Of IT.
tic consequences to the South, since
her State governments IRE under the
control Of the Democratic party, We
reprulucca a few paragraphs which we
culled from the San Francisco City
Argus, showing tho spirit that AM
mates the Radical hosts that arc sup
porting Garfield md Arthur:
Now you have the frank avowal
that these men, tymnts in heart,
blood, brain, hereditary shareholders,
dcspisc,s Of all justice aud equality,
have set themselves up tO rule one
half of this free country. They aro
going to roll it back to tho palmy days
Of "IIome Rule" State Rights, and
bonds and stripes for tho colorc'l citi-
zcn, and in the name Of the free North,
of the Great Republic Of the en'anci-
putcd and franchiscd slave, md Of
every free American citizen, we pro-
test against it. We say it shall never
hu. Come veal, come woe, como war
or pence, come what will, this inta-
nous scheme shall not succeed.
And it must come to that Mt last.
E;il.r,,n n,uat l,avn freedom t1lrOu01l-
out the land, and for all the inhabi-
tants thereof, or these hereditary
| slave-drivcrs must take the country.
Tho South must give up this chimcra
of maintaining u kingdom Of Dal'omy
in Dixie. It must throw down tho
fence, admit tho Northern newspaper,
STUN speaker and lecturer, accept
the decisions OF M honest ballOt-lOx
and progress with the balance Of the
nation. II it will not, the bayonct and
the swamp-a angels must again open
it's ears to reason, and clean out tho
last remnant Of slavery, secession,
bulllozing and kukluxism. There is
no room in the United States for any
but frcomcn, who accept the Consti-
tuition of the whole country, with lib
crty of speech and ballot for all.
| This is the true issue OF this cleo
tion. Shall VIC have a whole country,
| in which the Constitution is respected
and every citizen free in every part,
or shal! men who were born and edit
Gated slave masters dictate in tic
faircst portion Of it? For our part,
we have but one answer for these Ifi-
solont traitors, "lf we cannot vote
YOU down. we shall shoot you
down." This country must bc free.
Garfield, in his recent tour through
New Jersey, has sounded the key
note of the campaign, in exact accor
dance with tho sentiments expressed
by the Argus.
Southern men cannot, if they wo'''
be true to those honorable instinct
which animated them Oh the battle
fields ilnmortalized by their knight,
/, valor accept tho base insults Of tl''
| cowardly Radical partizal's who's
r breasts are yet filled with hate to
}, wards everything that is Southern.
