ultimate object OF the Democracy under
the control OF It's Southern wing, he said:
Tho establishment ot tho doctrine
OF State rights, the sabyersion OF the four.

ut some convenient period, the pensioning
Of ext Confederate soldiers"

comes nround,"l he added, 1--WE oil tue
South will have the Government 80 thor
oughly in our hands that we will DO IN
position to defy your minority party, Will;
But let mo tell YOU one tlingp We will
not 60 out Of the Union 70 establish our
supremacy. We adopt tho Stars n
Stripes as our symbol, and will treat the
last ono OF you rs rebels unless you sub.
mitto our control. This Is what we ought
to have done in 1861, and, this is precisely
what VIC will do II you insult u majority

the election OF Cleveland as 4 sort OF moral

tho country will side with tho Democracy,
and the result will be seen OH the pages Of

"Anl ii they domakc armed resistance.
We will have the army and the treasury OF
the United States to back us, to say moth

have the Black Republicans dawn at last.
thank Heaven! and we propose to keep
them there. We propose to make the
name OF Lincoln and his hirelings II stencil
i'll the nostrits Of mankind. We propose
10 rcvolutionize hegovornnent and r,odel
