O.UO iromocruuc partv South ih
charrred with still boinir roliellious in
Biirit, and iu tlio event of the election
of the Democratic candidates to-the
rremdoncy and Vice i'rosidencv of
the United States, with an intention
to arrest lbs further enforcement of
the Reconstruction Acts of Congress,
without awaitinir the action of tho
Judicial Department of the Govern
ment upon tho question of their uncon
stitutionality, and thus to inaugurate
another civil war.
This chariro places us in a position
wo do not occup3 and wo meet it with
a denial of its truth.
We claim the right to define our
true position.
tt e hold tho .Reconstruction AcU of
Congross to be unconstitutional, that
is to iay. they are unauthorised bv
any grant of power in tbe Constitu
tion. To believe an act of Congress
unconstitutional, does not imply an
intention to resist its enforcement by
violonco, or to get rid of it by revolu
tionary measures. Different views of
tho constitutionality of Congressional
legislation will necessarily exist, but
the sword is not tho arbiter of such
isputes, else tho country would bo in
state of continual war.
There is a tribunal for the settle
ment of all such questions, and when
its adjudications aro pronouoced, ac-
uiOHcnre becomes tlio duty ol all
tho pcoplo. Individual opinions must
lelil to oflicial and authoritative de
cisions of tho Judiciary.
Notwithstanding, we bold that the
Reconstruction Acts of Congress were
nsi'tcu "outside of tho Constitution,"
nd without constitutional authority,
wo do not propose, or intend, to main
tain our position hy a resort to forco.
Tho constitutionality of theto bets is
question to be decided by the Fed-
ral Judiciary upon a procr case
made. If thoir decision should be
adverse to toe constiitmonaiiiy 01 timt
legislation, wo will claim all the con-
BO'jiienrcs which will legitimately re
sult from such a decision, and it will
not bo unronsonnblo in us to expect
that thoso who bold opposite viows
ill acquiesce in tho deeinion, and ac
cord to us ull tho lights to which it
may legally entitlo us.
Un the contrary, il tlio conslitution-
lity of tho Reconstruction measures
hould be sustained by the Supreme
Federal Judiciary, as peaceable, law-
abiding citizens we will yield obedi-
nco to that decision, and cease all
further opposition to thoso measures.
And in another contingency, il tho
Supremo Court should refuse to enter
tain jurisdiction ol cnse presented
ndor these acts, tho only alternative
left will be to yield them obedience,
as laws obligatory and binding, or to
resist thcmTiy revolution, and the lat
ter wo unhesitatingly rejeot. We do-
ro a peaccahlo solution ot the com
plication! arising under theto acts,
nd n finality to the agitation which
they have produced.
Jn our own Mate we rccognigo the
government which has been organized
by authority ot these acts, and will
recognize it now, and henceforth if it
should not lie superseded by authority
of law. If our Slate shall bo reman ti
ed to tho government existing prior
to the enactment of the Reconstruc
tion Acts, it must bo done by opera
tion of law, and not by rovolution.
Wo bold, then, that tho question of
tho constitutionality of tho acts re
ferred to, is a question for tho judicia
ry, and not for an appeal to arms, or
any violent revolutionary measures
to be initiated by tho President of the
United Slates to set up, or set aside
those measures by bis own mere will.
Whichever of the present candidates
for the Presidency of the Unitod Suites
may be elected to that ofllte, neither
should use his arbitrary will either in
enforcing these measures against a
decision of tho Supremo Court, declar
ing them unconstitutional, cr in super
seding them and setting them s-ido
before tho action of tho judiciary can
bo hs'l.
If tho Republican candidate should
bo elected and tbo Reconstruction Acts
should be pronounced unconstitutional
by a decision of the Supreme Court of
tho Unitod Slates, acquiescence in that
decision will be his duty, no less limn
of a private citizen. If tlio Demo
cratic candidate should be elected, bis
election will not, pert, authoi ir.e him
to declnro thoso act unconstitutional,
null and void, and no longer of any
binding force and efficacy; but it will
be his duly to await tho dec ihion of
tbo question by tho proper tribunal to
wbii h il belongs, ami on whichever
sido it is lnn.de, to regard tho decision
as obligatory and binding, as an act
of Congress which is clearly in con
formity to tho Constitution.
Wo spook for tho Democratic party
of tieorgin, and wo go further, and
say, that though wo aro not author
ized to spunk for others oulsido of our
Sluto, yet wo bolievo that the senli
nients and feelings of tho Democratic
party in other Southern States are in
unison with our own.
Thcso ara the views wo hold upon
the question io which we, aaa people,
are so deeply and vitally interested.
Ws intend lio war wo meilitato no

Itrrolullon and tlrll HVir,
The sole and universal argument of
tno jncoiuns against the election
nuvinnur aim jnuir is mat tho rocon
struction policy of Congress cannot bo
ovortiirown.except through revolution
una another civil war. vt ith this soli
tary argument, addreosod not to the
judgment of tho people, nor to thoi
sense ol right andjustico, but to thuir
lears, thn odvocates of Jucebin usurna
tion nnd outrugo content themselves.
With this argument, bscKed with tbe
grossest falsehood, misrepresentation
und abuse, they rest thoir caso before
tho freemen of America. And what
docs their argument amount toT
Simply to this: That tho Jacobin

fool, substituted military forcivil gov
ernments, clotliod soldmrs withjudiciul
functions in time of peuco, suppressed
Stuto tribunals, proscribed who shall
voto and who shall be disfranchised,
imposed unconstitutional test ouths,
and crca'.ud crimes and punishtuunus
unknown to the common law in short
the Jacobin party, having seized the
publid treosure and tho sword, virtu
ally deposed the President, act aside
the Supreme Court and disregarded
every prsnciplo of right and justice,
converting what wasonco our republi
can form of government into a con
temptible despotism all this, they
say, being an established fact, must
le quietly acquiesced in, for four that
tho usurpers, in their determination to
resist the restoration of constitutional
government, may inaugurate "revolu
tion and another sivil war." What
an argument to bo presented to free
mon 1 It is wholly unworthy tho re
spect ot intelligent men; and a people
mat can bo influenced by such argu
ments to surrender thoir blood-bonght
liberties are only nt to be the subiects
of a despot.
iho presentation of such arguments
a virtual acknowledgment on tbe
part of the Jacobin party of their own
wrong. Unable to vindicate their law
less usurpations and outrages, they do
cluro that any attempt to undo ibeir
unconstitutional legislation and to re
form their misgovcrnmcnt will result
