He enters into an explanation of tbe investigating resolutions, dis cusses tbe duties and powers of Con gress, pronounces the Radical howl "a gigantic game of bluff," says there is no sort of danger to be ap prehended from Congress, shows up the old Radical device,'' explains the purpose of the investigation, touches upon capital and communism, and sets forth a 'just theory of tbe go vernment. We . quote a paragraph or two: ' , '': "This cry of wolf, when there is no wolf; this effort to make it appear that there is danger to peace or order from this investigation is a Republican pretense, like the 'bloodv shirt' iustiflcation of carnet- government; like" the 'public danger' ex cuse advanced for the enforcement of Durell's infamous order, and tbe protection of the returning board by bayonets; like the cry set ap alter the election to prevent ; agitation and to secure submission. We must have a very sorry sort of popular government if Congress cannot even in quire into 'frauds in the choice of' tbe executive without endangering the peace - and prosperity of -the country.', ' What then, you ask, is tbe purpose of the investigation? - I answer,' to ascertain the facts, so that if frauds be established a repetition of such frauds may be prevented, and, if not, to clear up the general belief throughout the country that there were such, frauds."-' - v - - - - "The theory of this Government is that . Itepeopie of the States shall choose electprs for themselves, and that by the aggregate voice of such electors the National Execu tive shall be selected. To let the party in power interfere by force of arms to protect a local board in falsifying the will of the localities is to subvert the theory of this -Uos.- .Whatever may result from the pro posed investigation you. may be sure that . uumisg can result tnat will disturb either' your flocks or your balances. The trouble - to capital property and freedom will come, not, perhaps, in your r time or mine, but come at last from refusing to inquire into frauds. To confront the evil, if you may not right it, late prevent its repetition." .
