IMPERIALISM DISSECTED.
JUDGE BLACK ON THE THIRD TERM.
What la Meant by Streng Government Its
Advocates, he They nra and What
They Want.
THE STRONG MAN.
Grant's Career as Chief Magistrate The
Gelden Age of Plunder Hostility te
the Constitution The Teel of Con
spirators and Thieves.
Judge IJlacJt ea a Popular Shibboleth.
Fiem Judge Clack's Paper in North Ameri
can Review, en ' General Grant and Streng
Government."
At a very early period in our history the
enemies of republican principles were
thoroughly equipped, and entered actively
upon the struggle for supremacy. Seme of
them get into the convention which
framed the constitution. At their head
was Hamilton, who laid before the body
their whole plan for a central government.
which, if adopted, would have completely
extirpated the rights of the states and the
liberties of the people ; a chief executive
for life, unimpeachable ferany misconduct
a senate for life ; a triennial Heuse of
Assembly ; a federal judiciary "for the de
termination of all matters of concern";
the governors of the states te be appoint
ed by the president. Of such a govern
ment, the tyranny and corruption must
have been perfectly unendurable if admin
istered, as it was expected te be, by the
men who proposed it ; and doubtless it
would, in a very sheit time, liave led te a
monarchy in name as well as in substance.
But the llamilteuian plan was defeated,
and under the auspices of Washington,
Madisen, and their compatriots, the pre
sent system was framed, by which certain
powers, specihcally enumerated, are be
stowed en the general government while
all ethers are expressly reserved te the
states and the people ; and this system is
te be administered by agents of the peo
ple's choice, strictly accountable, subject
te frequent rotation, and sworn te keep
within the limitB of their legal authority.
This government, se simple" and se clear,
se delinite in all its arrangements of power
and se guarded against abuse, was hailed
at home and abroad as the best result of
political wisdom that the world ever saw.
I devoutly believe that the estimate of its
friends was right, but I have no eulogy te
make en it new. I merely claim that our
obedience te it is due as a moral necessity.
If a sworn eiliccr wilfully violates it, he is
guilty of perjury ; if its commands be
habitually disregaidcd, the nation is politic
ally ruined and the people aic defrauded of
their rights.
But from the very first it had enemies
who tried te subvert and substitute in its
place the reign of arbitrary power. There
has always been an unprincipled faction
composed of persons who tried te rid them
selves of the wholesome limitations which
protected the equal lights by the states
and the people. By frequent changes of
name and the assumption of new shapes,
by appeals te the baser passions, by com
binations of special interests, by plausible
but false interpretations of the fundamen
tal law, by adroitly taking advantage of
accidental circumstances, they have often
succeeded in " drawing much people after
them" pcople who leally loved free insti
tutions, and had no intention te destroy
the government or depart from the tradi
tions of the fathers. When their design
became known, the honest portion of their
followers have uniformly fallen away from
them. Perhaps no instance of this is mero
striking than the direct and positive re
fusal of the great mass of the Republican
party, in 187G, te endure the nomination
of General Grant for a third term.
That the present movement te that end
means simply a conspiracy te wipe out the
constitution once for all, and have done
with its restraints upon arbitrary power,
is proved in se many ways that it admits
no doubt. It is publicly urged by all its
friends for the sole reason that Grant is a
strong man. In the cases of Caesar, Crom
well, and both the Napoleons, strength
was the quality for which they were ele
vated te absolute power. It is the might
of the ruler that overcomes the right of
the people whenever a republic is te be
strangled. Strength that governs with a
red of iron is always the recommendation
of one who is te be made a monarch, inso
much that the work "king" (Keenig)
signifies in the language wc take it from
exactly what General Grant's adulators
habitually call him the strong man.
But the strong government idea has
been set forth by its projectors in various
authorized publications, manifestly in
tended te prepare the minds of the Ameri
can people for the advent of despotism.
Before Napeleon mounted the throne,
certain well rcmembered articles appeared
in the Mmitcur te foreshadow the em
pire that was coming, te prove that a re
public was tee weak te be compatible with
the interests of France, and te show that
nothing would de but the strong man.
Precisely similar were the approaches of
the ether Bonaparte te absolute power.
Here we have almost a repetition of theso
French articles. One of these, anony
mous, but printed in a magazine of high
authority, describes the constitution of tie
United States as an effete system, adjuges
state sovereignty te be treason, declares
the masses of the Northern Democracy
unfit for self-government, anticipates that
the Seuth will cease te be formidable
after the next census, and then gives a
picture of the geed time coming, when a
central government, with the state under
its feet and the people at its mercy, shall
exercise a controlling supervision ever all
elections, and regulate all domestic sub
jects down te mairiage and divorce.
What sort of a head this strong govern
ment shall have, or hew he shall be called,
is net disclosed ; but we are told te leek
for a change in the mode of cheesing him,
the present plan being antiquated and
clumsy.
In all countries and in all ages it is the
uncontre'lablo impulse of pub'ic oppies eppies oppies
sers te call every man a Iraiier who Is net
willing te be a slave. In the eyes of the
usurping tyrant and his sycophantic flat
icrers llie most ed'eus Ciimc thai can be
cemirilted is the assertion ei" his lea'
Jghts by a iiccman. This er'.tne Mr. Beut-
well charges upon Uie Demect-acy and
gloats ever ihe puuishmeuts they will get
for it. He sajs that " hc sfiL-ii of re re
bcllier, of lesibianccte the constitution, is
manifested by a large class of cit-zens.
These c'tizens, without exception, ai Dem Dem
ec:ats, and they receive aid and encout enceut
agemeni lrem the Demecrauc party."
Of course, I will net vouch for .he abso abse
luie perfection of every individual who
ckims ie be a Democrat. Bat thai; Dec
ciats, as a body, or by jaiij ceacei. have
resisted the constitution in any manner, or
that they have net submitted even te the
unconstitutional tyranny of the federal
government with entire passivencss, is a
falsehood se vile, se gross, and se palpable
that I will net believe Sir. Boutwell meant
te assert it. What he did mean was te say
that we have claimed our just rights by
legal and peaceful appeals te the public
conscience, in the courts and en the res
trum, at the polls and through the press :
and he but speaks after his kind when
he calls this the "spirit of rebellion,"
for, according te his theory, lawful
opposition te unlawful power is al
ways constructive rebellion. He is con
sistent with his creed when he warns us
that this spirit shall be wholly extinguish
ed and that Democrats for indulging in it
shall be remitted te a state of abject slav
ery and deprived of all right te control
their own affairs, either political or private,
and, te that end, all traditienary notions
of liberty, equality and fraternity are te be
set aside. " It is the purpose of the Re
publican party," says Mr. Boutwell te sup
press that spirit, te render it peieerkss ab
solutely, both in personal and public af
fairs, and it may happen in accomplishing
this the example of WasJdngten and the tra
dition of the fathers will 'be disregarded."
While I de net think that a majority of the
Republican party would assist for one mo
ment in carrying out this brutal threat,
Mr. Boutwell is ample authority for the I
bchet that the Grant leaders are net only
insolent eneugh te utter it, but base
enough te execute it if they ever get a
chance.
It is plain enough what prompts them
te these desperate means. When the elec
tive franchise was given te the negre they
thought they had legalized a sure mode of
stuffing the ballet boxes, and, se sustained,
strong government premised te itself a
life without end. But in the course of
time the negrees ceased te stuff, and some
of them began te vote. It was se contrary
te all previous calculations that the friends
of the strong government could net realize
it ; they thought it miibt be caused by
some mysterious application of physical
force. Te this day Mr. Boutwell is unable
te comprehend the possibility of a free
negre voting of his own head against a
carpet-bagger who has robbed him, against
a Frecdman's Bank that has swindled him
out of his earnings, or against a scurvy
politician who has cheated him by false
premises of feity acres and a mule. There
fore he believes in the chimera of a bull
dozer as much as Cotten Mather believed in
witchcraft, and swallows as greedily the
false and unicasenablc evidence which
feeds his credulity. He declares in this
article that in the Southern states "any
number of citizens are as a public policy of
communities and states deprived of their
civil rights ; " that offices are held there
and power wielded, "through proceedings
that arc systematically tainted with fraud
or crimsoned with innocent bleed ; " that
"one vote of a white citizen in Seuth Car
olina is, as a fact in government, equal te
three iu Massachusetts, New Yerk or Illi
nois;'" that there arc persons in Congress
who have no right te their scats, "and
these persons constitute the majority in
both bianchcs." These monstrous outrages
upon the known tiuth admit of ene excuse
and only one Mr.Beutwell believed them.
But the sincerity of his belief in these
false statements is no excuse for the pre
tense he makes of honest indignation.
That is sham aud he knows it. He and
his collaberateurs in the strong government
enterprise (including the strong man him
self) have no conscientious objections te
false or forced elections. They have no
respect whatever for the right of the peo
ple te cheese their own officers, state or
national. The strength for which they
laud their chief se extravagantly was
never exhibited during his piesidency, ex
cept in coercing voters suppressing true re
turns, or otherwise defeating the legal
expression of the popular will.
Mr. Boutwell is, therefore, iu no condi
tion te speak en this subject as an accuser
of ethers ; tiic beam in his own eye dis
qualifies him te hunt for metes in the eye
of his brother. Ner could he de General
Grant any geed even by showing that elec
tions are new unfairly conducted. Wc
desire, above all things, te have a free poll
and a fair count, and wc are much afraid
that wc will be permanently deprived of
our right ; but we de net leek te Grant for
redress or remedy. We de net trust the
arch enemy of honest elections te purify
the ballet box ; for that would be " cast
ing out devils by Beelzebub, the prince of
devils."
I will make Mr. Boutwell a proposi preposi
tion. If he will name any kind of vio
lence or intimidation which the Grant
faction have net used te prevent a true
poll, or any form of fraud which they have
net practiced te falsify returns, or any sort
of cheating in the count which they have
net resorted te, or any species of the
crimen false which they have net perpe
trated as a means of swindling the major
ity ; if they have net filled the seats of
Congress with imposters whose object it
was te misrepresent, injure, and degrade
the states they pretended te ceme from ; if
they did net falsely procure the election of
infamous men te every kind of state office,
or when defeated put them in possession
and maintain them there by force
of arms ; if they did net in 1870
defeat the known will of the nation
by a most stupendous swindle
if Mr. Boutwell can show that these
things and ethers like them were net done
at divers times and places, under the
auspices and with the approbation of Gen.
Grant and these friends of his who are
new pushing him for a third election, then
I will give up the whole case and premise
te vote for his candidate. There ! he has
a chance te make one vote, without the
risk of losing his own ; for, if he fails, I
will net ask him te vote my ticket ; I will
merely insist that he shall net hereafter
turn up the whites of his eyes and pretend
te be wounded in his virtuous soul, when
a fugitive carpet-bagger tells him hew he
had te drop his plunder and fly for his
crimes because negrees were bulldozed at
the Seuth.
General Grant's own history and charac
ter as a civilian make it certain that these
who support him are enemies of free and
honest government. These third-termers
arc net madmen. They have tried Grant,
and they knew what he is geed for.
Theso acts of deadly hostility te the con
stitution which distinguished the period of
his administration they expect him te re
peat. These atrocious corruptions which
made it the golden age of the public plun
derer they leek fa.' agaie. I affirm that
they intend t'jis; net because they have
said se in weids, but because, being sane
men, they can intend nothing else.
DeubMess he is a Uvreng man net men
ially or morally stieng but plenty strong
cneuhl w:Mi an aimy at h's back te
spurn the icsl.aint e" law and bicak evei
the censii tul ion. It Loek a strong man te
make such gevei ncis and judges and treas
urers, and 'c'slalers, as he made for ihe
hlales, and ie held them in place by the
bayonet ; te force elections against the
will of the electors, and te inaugurate a
president who had been rejected by he
peep.e.
One manifestation of his st'cnglh hard'y
excited as much admiration as it deserves
;Vem his follewerc. During his lasb term
he oek from the t.eamry, n flavdeilance
of the constitution, one bundled thousand
dollars in addition te the hundred thou
sand which was his lagal salary. There
was a transaction of Caesar's with the
Reman treasury net dissimilar te this and
Ca;sar was a strong man ; but Grant, mere
than Ca;sar, showed that peculiar con
tempt of law which by his admirers is sup
posed te oe strength.
Sometimes they tell us that he is net
only strong but fathful. Faithful te what ?
Te his own breeches pocket ; te the rich
men who made him presents ; te the car
pet-bag thieves whom he fastened en the
Southern states ; te the corrupt rings that
supported him in the North; te the re
turning beards who forged election-papers
te suit him; te the tools of the vulgar
force which thrusts his fraud down the
threat of the nation te all these he was
faithful enough ; but faithful te the con
stitution and laws he never was. Frem be
ginning te end of his administration he was
treacherous te the most sacred trust that
human hands can held.
This is no railing accusation against
GencralGrant, no harsh construction of his
past acts, no detraction from his claim te a
certain degree of personal respectability,
no proof that as a despot he would net de
as well as another. He is a mere soldier,
with no knowledge of law and no concep
tion of the purpose for which civil institu
tions are made. When elected president
he took the government en his hands as a
mere job te be done for the interests of
theso who employed and paid him, with
out caring what rights ether persensmight
suffer. Herace's description of a military
chief governing strongly in civil affairs has
never in modern times been se perfectly
realized :
' Jura ncsjat Blbi nata; nihil non airegat ar
mls." He did net step te inquire what was in
that constitution which he swere te pre
serve, protect and defend ; if he had taken
an oath te destroy it, his hostility would
have been neither less nor greater. If there
be one prevision of the federal compact
mere perfectly clear than any of the ethers
it is that which reserves and secures te the
states all sovereign authority, jurisdiction,
and powers, except what are specifically
enumerated and expressly given te the
general government ; but, clear as this is,
Gen. Grant never could sce it. When a
politician came te him ( especially if he
came with a present in his hand), and told
him that the states had no rights, and the
doctrine of state severeignity was mere
treason, he bclieved it firmly and acted
accordingly. He himself has furnished
conclusive proof that, when he stretched
forth his rapacious hand and took from
the public treasury a hundred thousand
dollars mero than his lawful salary, he
had never read or heard about that part of
the constitution which forbids the com
pensation of a president te be increased
"during the term for which he shall have
been elected." It probably never struck
him that it was bribery te accept money
and lands and goods from men whom he
immediately afterward appointed te the
highest offices in his gift. When te this
is added the prencness of ignorant ambi
tion te that Caesarian rule of ethics which
declares everything right which is dene
regnandi causa, you have a character dear
te the heart of strong government, but
utterly unfit te be trusted by a people who
desire te be free.
However that may be, all evidence shows
that the object of pushing General Grant
for a thiid term is net te give us an honest
legal administration of our public affairs,
but te set up some system of absolutism
without law, or, as Mr. Stevens said, "out "eut "out
sideofthc constitution." What form or
title shall it have ? If its projectors suc
ceed, will they give us an imperial despo
tism, open and avowed? Or will they
curse us with the heavier and mere degrad
ing affliction of a rotten republic?
If my soul could ceme into their coun
sels, or mine honor be joined into their as
sembly, I would tell them that their suc
cess new will bring them hideous ruin in
the long-run. Fer a little while it may
increase their fortunes, or swell their per
sonal consequence, and gratify their con
temptuous hatred of the states and people
under their arbitrary rule. But strong
government is a weak contrivance, after
all, and never lasts. Its front is of brass,
but the feet it stands en are always made
of clay. Let these who would identify
their interests with Grantism think well
hew unsafe is the protection they are seek
