lARRArGNMENT OF Tue NATIONAL RE-
| PUBLICAN PARTY.
We accuse and arraing the Re-
publican party, state anu National,
for every crime possible to DO COM
mitted against free people. When
the war wagod To prevent States from
seeding WAS ended, for The shameless
purpose OF perpetuating its power, IL
falsely and contrary to the principles
upon which tho war was waged, de-
clared that the rebelling States were
not mem bers of the Union, deprived
them of sclf-yovernnent, exercised
military despotisin over them, estab-
lished the rule of the bayonet, sub
verled their civil powers, deprived
the Inhabitants OF civil and political
rights, aud finally set up carpet-bag
governments, put the ballot in the
hands Of the negro, and through his
Ignorance and prejudice and the
criminal rapacity Of white Repub-
lican leaders, plunged the already
Impoverished country into three hun
bred millions of useless debt. After
peace was restored and when the
people were borne down by debt,
burnedened by heavy taxes levied to
maintain the war, 1t doubled import
duties, increased internal taxes, con-
tracted the volume of currency, de-
monetized silver, required green
backs, bonds and obligations to be
paid in gold, and thus fictitiously APP
preciat.d the value Of money, debts,
bonds aud securities and multiplied
the wealth of the bond-holder, money
lender and creditor, and increased
the burdens of the debtor and the
distress of the poor.

United States, then the most august
and honored tribunal upon the face
OF the earth, decided that green. backs
were not q lawful tender in payment
of debts contracted before the enact
ment OF the greenback law, the Re-
publican party in the interest and
upon the dictation of railroad cor
porations, and 10 permit them to pay
