Ifthe country ever doubted the revo-
lurionnry character Of the republican
marty. all doubts must now be cast
aside when viewing the present atti-
tude OF that party ia the state Of New
York. The temptation was tremen-
douS. perhaps irresistible, when by rev.
olutionnry methods they overthrow the

nation OF us legally elected president

BE- condoned. Nor can the people Tor
ret how with despotic feet d republican

The same revolutionary spirit now
seizcs the party in the state Of New
York. Having stipulated with the
democrats hat all contests Of the legis-
lature should be finally adjusted by the
court Of appeals, the highest legal
tribunal Of the state, and that they
would abide forever by said decision

against them-they now seek to over
ride the courts authority by methods
of the most revolutionary character.
