Whig party found that contending azainnt
Democracy, was contending 'wain,
truth, therefore, they planned, plotted,
metatenrphised and brought forth a ge

is a deolaration of war. This &clam

made with • view to retaining power
against the known wishes of a majority
of the people, and the time lies arrived.
when the Democratic party must meet

struction laws disfranchised nearly ell
the whites, enfranchised all the Diggers
in the Southern States and provided for
their enrollment, It also provided for
StatroConteetions to frame Constitutions
to be submitted to the enrolled voters
and liequired !majority of such voters to

does not stop here. The Legislatures of
these States are pessing,lews that they,

elect Presidermal electors The case to
plain English is:—The Radicals con

the purpose of compelling such States to
vote the Radical ticket ; the niggles be
came disgusted with them and rijected
the Constitutions formed fur that pur

turns on these •otes which they are

maintain their rights It does nut mat
