VI IL,
Edwards, of Darlington, who said
The National Republican party has been
camping outside of the Constitution for
twenty-onc years. The issues thev have
made in that outside camp are of age and
it is time for lis 10 be e.cnfranchiscd into
the rights of American citizens. The fierce
struggle for existence in which we have
been engaged has prevented us from con-
sidering National politics. and we some
times say if we can bnt hold the State gov
crninent, we care nothing for politics in
Washington. But this is delusion I'm
der the new Interpretation of the Constitu-
tion the States derive their rights from the
National government; and if the National
government is not purified, the STATES will
soon be absorbed by a party which denies
the local rights of the State. Our State
government is redeemed and is secure. The
time has come for us now to turn to Ma
iioi,a politics, and 10 begin To exert our liz
tlIencc in restraining an unprinciplcd party
from absorbing all the powers OF govern
mcnt and destroying our liberties. That
party, after thrusting upon us more than a
hundred thousand ignorant, irresponsible
and vicious voters, has supervised our elec-
tions, arrested oir citizens, and tried them
before strange tribunals, and sent them to
strange prisons to labor and die in strange
lands; has filled our ports, internal revenue
Offices, United States constnbulary and post
offices with their political minions, with a
view to control our politics and coerce us
in.o Republicanism. 1t has used the pat
ronage of the government to turn out upon
the country hundred thousand Republic
can politicians, and has suborned the
strength and substance Of the government
itself to keep themselves in power. But it
is by the means Of their revenue system
that they most orprcss and weaken the
States. They collect annually Si00, 900 900,
which is paid by the consumers-the indus
t-sl and agricultural classes of the country
And, by that system, it costs the people one
billion of dollars 10 raise. this amount
