(the Radical*) nre enemies fo everything
essential to the prosperity nnd well being
of the people; and this I will endeavor
to prove.
In the hrsl place they nre enemies to
the Constitution. Now they prate a
great deal about the Constitution. Hut
snppo?e I could call back the spirit of
their leader, who declared that every
act of his parlf was ontskla of the Con

would l?e Ids answer! It is spoken in
the suspension of the Habeas Corpus.
in the passage of ex post faeto laws, jn
the suppression of the right* of ten

subjection of ?hem to the despotic rule
of the bayonet. It would be as well
to ask the assassin, whose hands are

Now. my friends, I don't propose to

it. You have done all you could to
eatore union to thi? distracted bud,
ave to sign your own dishonor. Tlii*
he Radical* ask you to do, not for a

hem in power. This Union exists by
irtde o/ the Constitution, which is the
iasis of the Government, and bond of

Radical powor. Nothing of the sort
u required for tho proper administration of
the Federal Government in the South. Nothing
of the kind is demanded for the pacification
of the people, tho restoration of fraternal
feeling, or the renewal of constitutional reiaV
tinna. Those things aro so many devices, conceived
nud framed in the ioterest of Kadical
supremacy. Thai party simply seeks to koep
the negroes uppermost politically, because it
believes if can control tneir votes. And fof
sucb a rensou tho people of the North are taxed
certainly two hundred millions a year moro
than they ought to be, and will in all likelihood
continue to be so taxed aa Long as therq
is nnythiug left from the results of labos to be
sweated iuto the service of this usurping party.
Why aro prices still to high, taking one
hundred millions it year from the industry of
the laboring people of the couutryf Why afo
there not full crops of oottnn
and sugar, from the productive Southern
States? Why is there so slow home market
for the products of tho West, and no commerce
for tho merchants (tnd shipowners ot Cf*n East ?
Why to this general stagnation and half-palsy,
is added a system of high taxes, tho practical
diminution of wages by the enhancement of
prices, und a general cost of living and government
under which tho whole country
groans? What is the n^itsiijr of wringing

of dollars in three years* if hen so rfcoOgW
a share of it has bee* <N*6ted to the reduction
of the debt ? The sauie party that is responsible
for such a state of things, stands arraignid

system of government* If it hi pn^
