The reconstruction imlley of the End-

uh anting tho bolituuil churucler of tire
Senate, evi-n if tho Democrats should
elect thoir Pfdsident nnd a mnjority ot
th« popular branch of Congnws. We
cun not, therefore, undo the radical plan
ol rccousti uc'ion by Congressional ac-
tht); ll»* .^uantf will continue a bur to
Its repeal. Must we submit to it? How-
can it bo overthrown ? It can only be
uvei thrown by the authority of the Ex

Constitution, nnd who will foil to do hi*
duty if ho allow# tire conatitrtion to per

low the while people to reorganize thdi

HfiihtivtM will contain a majority ot lh-m
»ci nt# from tJio North, and tirey will od
mit tlte Kepreeentativi'S elected by the
while people of the South nnd with the
co-operation of the President it will
net be difficult to compel the Senate to
HnhmU once more to the obligation. It
will not he nbtc to withstand the public
judgment, II distinctly invoked ami
clearly expressed, on this fundamental
issue, nnd it ia tho sure way to avoid all
future strife to put this issue plainly to
the oountiy.
I repeat that this is the real and only
quealiun which we should allow to con
