the salvation of the Democratic party, is', classes of citizens who are pul under the
to rid it of traitors. The whole trouble is
that traitors have sprung into the lead of
the party, with a boldness which hrs,
for the time, thrown the honest rank and
file into fixed astonishment, smitten the
timid office-seekers with a shameful
panic.
There are three classes of Departurists,
each having its own distinctive utteran
ces, but all animated by a common inter
est. The motive is, to obtain in the so-
called 14th amendment a new guaranty
for the iniquitous gains made out of the
opportunities of war, and remove all ob
stacles from the pathway of future pub
lic plunder.
The great obstacle which they most
dread is, the restoration of our happy
American system of sovereign States,
each with a Republican government of
her owblformation, and all associated in
a Federal Union with a Republican
government formed by all, for all, under
a common Constitution.
The Democratic party, having ever
striven for the preservation of this happy
system of Governments—State and Fed
eral,—is now the only organization which
is striving for its restoration; and for
that very reason the enemy are struggling
to got possession and control of the or
ganization, in order that they may de
bauch it and betray it. To debauch it is
the surest icay to beat it.
But these wily, bold enemies also know
full well that if they can but debauch it
(heir object is achieved whether they
ian ?
Nay, more; can any interpretation “be
so strict” as to deny that this same 14th
so-called amendment confers upon Con
gress the gracious poicer to grant, or re
fuse to grant, to the people of the Stales,
the privilege of having their own real!
free ehoice of their own citizens, to rep
resent them in all Federal offices, and in
their own State offices, from the highest
to almost the lowest ? And was there
any reason for the “disabilities” im
posed, except to exclude from office
the men whose abilities and patriot
ism woukl make tbem, in offi
cial positions, most formidable foes
of “fraud, falsehood, force” and usurpa
tion? Is this a ‘ freedom-giving amend
ment,” “in hro'mony with Democratic
principles?”
Again, can any “interpretation” be so
“strict” as to deny that the 15th so-called
amendment restricts the right of theStates
over the vital matter of suffrage, which
its in last analysis, constitutes the whole
political power? Is there any face
brazen as to deny that both these so-called
amendments diminish the rights of the
States, and that the diminution is made
in the vital matters of representation and
suffrage?
Is there any tyro who needs to be told
that it has always been a prominent
Democratic principle to maintain the
rights of the States, without any uiminu
tion or abridgment? Yet it would be
