are asserting the laboring men are al

it is evidently all the more necessary
to rescue them and give them the pros
perity that thirty years Of Republican
misrule and oppression took from
them. II the shackles are already on
the limbs of the people there is all the
more reason why the people should
help Democracy knock them off.
