A CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT. ?, Democratic Address of the "West Vlrglnii ' CouTeution. V". The following address of the Democrats of West Virginia, is an appeal direct to the whole -people of the United States. As a campaign document it is not surpassed by any modern pro duction. . - ' : We invite the special attention of the readers of the North Carolinian thereto and would re quest every reader when he is done With his pa per to pass it to some neighbor who has not seen the address, and in this way give it a general cir culation among the people, especially the work ing men of the country. ;) , : . ; . To the People of West Virginia: .; .;. . At-., We invite your attention to a review of the general political situation1 its evils, and ! their remedy. Since 1861 the harmony of this nation has been sadly disturbed. For four years of the intervening time, the interruption of peaceful re lations was due to a state of war. The practical disunion .' existing since .1865' is 'referable to a course of Congressional action, wicked in motive, illegal in character, and ruinous in result. 'While the war for the Union was in progress, its suc cessful issue was anticipated as the guaranty: of prompt reunion and permanent peace. ' Such a consummation was the aim of patriotic efforts in the field, the object of solemn pledges in the halls of Congress, and the confident expectation of the masses of the people." Tba itit has Joijg' Bince ended. The rebellion as long since been crush ed. Every obstacle placed by Southern move ment in the way of the nation's unity has long since been removed. . Nevertheless, disappoint ment waits upon the people's wish. The pledges of Congress have been repudiated. The triumphs of our armies have been neutralized, and the pur poses of the brave men who secured them have been shamefully defeated.' A - dissolution . Tnore disastrous than that now ; existing between the Southern States and the Federal 1 government could scarcely have been brought about by ' the success of the rebellion. A condition of affairs so much at variance with the wishes and interest oj the people of our entire country demands af e ference to the acts and aims of those ?Vho pro duce it. . 77 " i n ; " . ; ' I ': , '. COSGREBSIOirAL BBCOH8TBUCTIOI. For more than two years the Southern States have desired to renew their old relations to the government Congress has constantly prevented that resumption. They are entitled to be re - stored upon the basis of the federal constitution. Congress has confessedly thrown aside -that in strument, and obstructed restoration with terms and conditions of its own prescribing 'Affect ing to desire the perpetuity of the Republic, it has made a deadly assault upon republican insti tutions. Professing to aim at the salvation of the Union,' it has wrought the destruction of ten of the States. The right of each State to regu late its own internal attains, enfranchise its own voters, and choose its: owarulers and law-makers, is as sacred as our constitution, and as indestruc tible as our government Without it republican liberty is worthless, tor when the people cease to be free citizens of the States 1 they become the subjects of unlimited and irresponsible federal power. When Congress abolished the local gov ernment of the South; it violated, a 'vitalprinci . pie in our system. When it erected military es tablishments in their. stead, it introduced the most abominable features of despotism., In further pursuance, of Jts purposes, Congress has thrown the political power of the South into negro hands. To assure this result, it has disfranchised the white population by hundreds of thousands,. En franchising the blacks, it has made voters of ithe ignorant, vicious, and the brutal; legislators; of those who regard liberty as license, and law as the instrument of revenge ; and rulers of a class whose ideas of government, like their notions of religion, tend directly and' inevitably to'barbar MILITARY G0VXR9XEHT AJSD ItS ' RESULTS. Having given the negro tho right to .vote and the power to rule, Congress conlesses his incom petency for either by insisting that the bayonet of the soldier, the disfranchisement of the citi zen, and the supervision of the Freedmen's 1 Bu reau are necessary to sustain him in his new re lations. By such declarations the dominant par ty would justify the continuance of military des potism erected within the . Southern States. Be fore we sanction this iniquity, let us examine its results. It found civil governments in success- ful operation: it abolished those governments, and made the will of brigadier generals supreme for all purposes. Southern elections are ordered, supervised and approved or set aside by district commanders. Southern Justice is what the bay onet may provide. Southern) law ! is what the sword may , decree. ; Southern peace' is the pa tient submission of conquered people ; a peace threatened .by impending nezro insurrections,- which white seditionlsts are inciting and i liable at any moment to disappear before the. terrible tumult of socul anarchy. The military govern' ment found business reviving, v and enterprise 8trugglibg to repair 'the ravages i ot the warl' They abblished labors j and offered army stations as a premium on negro idleness. 1 The country ceased to produce, and trade and commerce with, other sections , perisbed. , Capital " left' a ' land' which promised soon to be given oyer to confisca tion, general poverty followed' the "encouraged indolence of the Iaborin' classes. "'"Actual and almost universal" -destitution' -exists' among the people; the unhappy victims of Congressional cruelty must become, pensioners upon . national charity or perish from starvation. , Hordes of thriftless . and 1 discontented negroes, passionate almost W brutality, induced to vice by idleness, incited to violence by: evil counsellors, fed and pampered at the public cost, with a great army for their protection; roam at will throughout the land upon a mission of evil, carrying1 dismay to the hearts of helplessness and innocence, and shock ing civilization with the worst Of nameless crimes. Such is! the condition of the South. A military despotisni'is oyer her people. The hand of , law-' less violence threatens them. Desolation reigns on every hand. About them ; are the graves of their countless dead. The past is Btrewn with the Wreck of their greatness, j Present suffering surrounds them. Their future is thick" with per il and dark with gathering misfortune. . The foes of the nation are at , her feet. Broken in spirit, stripped of fortune, ' wasted, ragged, wretched and ruined, their situation ' invokes the magna nimity 0f kindred manhood and appeals to the generous mercy of a noble enemy. ' ; - 1 5 n DISTRESS AT THE SOUTH FRoflTCES PROSTRATtOB ,,.r .. AT THE NORTH. . . , - .- -. Thevil influenceV of bayonet reconstruction is not confined to the ; South.- The entire coun try feels it.1 Northern factories are silent because Southern pockets are empty. Western granaries and storehouses are full, but poverty possesses their ancient market, and their former buyers are now' begging bread. A commercial crash is im minent and business stands stil and trembles at the prospect. The manufacturing interests of the nation are crippled and almost crushed. The spindle is motionless ; ; the shuttle is silent; the forge and the furnace are deserted ; - the work shop is vacant; the mill is closed. The hands of the artisan are unemployed and empty ; bis chil dren are starving, homeless and in rags. The impoverishment of the South ! throws the entire burden of taxation upon the North and West. The Southern States can render no assistance whilesthe government grinds them with an iron heel. - If their people shared its benefits . they would be impelled to productive ability. As they partake only of its severities, they could not support it if they would, and so long as it op presses them, if they are fit to be freedmen, they ; vould not support it if they could. - ; W THE COHQRESSIONAL PURPOSE. t ' : ; The'' declarations of leading Republicans 'in" Congress leave no room to doubt that the action oftnat body has been taken with reference to the unity of the Radical party, rather than the unity of the American Republic. The National Legislature has become a mere machine for the manufacture of radical ; majorities. Its . material is the worst and lowest 'class of . humanityf barely rescued from the brutality of the savage tate by contact with civilization.'- A- system5 which is based -upon negro stupidity, supported by . bayonets and de signed to secure partisan triumphs through the enslavement'! of! men of 'our own race, may be instituted here through force and fraud, but if it can endure in this land the, American people have learned liberty ten no' purpose and well deserve to be taught its -value, underu the stern tutelage of tyranny, which awaits them in the future of. radi cal supremacy. j ; ' FINANCIAL AJfFAIRS. , , , r In its management of our financial affairs, the1. dominant party has . enacted the grossest folly and injustice, x Repeated contractions of the cur rency have -caused incalculable commercial dis asters, i A still more dangerous measure of con traction is now proposed in the Senate, by which the ' legal tenders are; to be, withdrawn .'from circulation "., and replaced by ' interest ' bearing bonds. If property and business do hot enter ah effective protest, the results will be little short of generaTruin. J u t - THE SATIOHAL DEBT. i The national debt amounts to $2,500,000,000, It cost the holders $ 1, 250,000 J000. The party in power would pay it in gold,! dollar for dollar. They would give to tho bondholders a; currency diffeaent from and better than that used by the people. Specie for the money lenders and paper for the masses is the end of their financial policy. A discrimination so -palpable and unfair is an insult to, the popular sense of justice. By the terms of the act of issue, greenbacks are made legal tender . for all c debts, public and private, excepit duties on . imports and interest on the public debt., - Even the soldiers of the Republic accepted. paper as the. price ; of their toils and hardships. - Is the . patriotism of cash more val uable than the public devotion, which fights and bleeds; and dies 1 t; Labor, receiyes lita wages in paper ; the : products , of the farm, tho goods ; of the merchant, professional , fees, all . prices and values among the people. are paid in papen, ' If that kind of ,meney is good for the masses, good to buy alL things, from the sweat of labor to. the blood of valor, why should it not suffice for the redemption of th Federal securjtiea . .. , 77. , BXEHPTIOH OF THB BOHDSi Under Radical management,' the bonds are ex empt from; taxation. ' Receiving from the gov ernment the same protection with their property, they pay.not a dollar to its support.; .bucn ex clusive' privilege ' establishes i an aristocracy pf money in the midst of a Republic of labor. Toil is taxed : bonds are exempt, xoii proauces ; bonds consume. "Toil purlds onr public improve ments ; i. bondholders enjoy their benefits at no cost. Joil supports our. courts, paya legis- latorsiand defrays the general expenses of the government ; l bondholders partake pf ; the bless ings of all and, contribute , to the sustenance of none. A policy which makes labor so completely tributary to capital is anti-republican in its effect upon the masses. We greatly mistake, the temper of the people ; if -they dp not demand, that this wrong be promptly righted by such repealr and enactments as will : compel all property alike to share the burdens of taxation. THE REVENUE SYSTEM. " tf ; Radicalism derives the ' bulk of the Federal revenue ' from home productions and the neces- j saries of life. . Over sixteen thousand articles, in, eluding almost everything that supports life or lightens labor,' are now the subjects of taxation. Hence the great disparity between wages and the cost of living. Frauds upon the revenue are ach other characteristic of the present system. j1 The laws are evaded",- the officers', are bribed -x the country is robbed. Over one hundred millions of dollars fvereost last yearjthTough dowpright vil lainy, and the deficiencies of wealthy kriates must be made good by toiling nonesty. n;'t , l v WHERE THE XOY goes. 7-j i i 'i '( is ap A large portion of the taxes now plied to worse than useless purposes. The Freed men's Bureau costs twelve millions annually, a sum equal to . the entire yearly expense of the government under some of the eariier admin is-, trations. That institution feeds, clothes and sup ports a hoatiofkmalignant Squtbprhaters, ne gro, fanatics, and greedy adventurers, backed by jthe. federal army. It , has done more to breed .bitterness and discontent among' the1 Southern people thati the war "itselfl The military estab lishments at the South are another kind of use less and extravagant expenditure. It is costing from sixty to one hnndred -millions annually. High 'Radical authority estimates that it will take , ten years to reconstruct the South by the present process, j The lowes possible amount ' for which this partisan enterprise can be completed will be eight hundred millions of dollars. ' Are the peo ple of this nation to be impoverished, in order that the days of niggerism and fanaticism may be long in the land 1 Are the niasses of the' country to be mercilessly taxed, robbed and ru ined, in order that corruption may prosper, love of power be satisfied- and the supremacy-of Radi calism be assured We look for such a response to these questions as will wipe out the abomina tions of the bayonet, restore civil and constitu tional governments., to .the South, exclude the African element from the 'sphere of politics,) and re-establish the American Union upon the ancient foundations of equal ! justice and popular affec- tion-" : ., ' ' ; 'i ; .,,. : :. . . .... A REMEDY POSSIBLE,.,,... t Let us recur to the remedy for the . manifold wrongs to which we have referred. The recon-.i struction question, , whatever difficulties it may present to bitter partisans, is capable of , a safe and easy; adjustment through the exercise of an honest and liberal patriotism. , The simple appli cation of the principles of the Federal Constitu tion , will; remove every obstacle and effect a peaceful, permanent, and satisfactory settlement. If that instrument possesses the perfection with which every lover of ;his .country invests it, ,it will not be found wanting at the critical juncture. The Constitution which has blessed the people with liberty and crowned this land with greatness will not now prove inadequate to the designs of its authority and leave the vital interests of the Union ai the mercy of rude chances and political passions. Let its. provisions be applied, and rep resentatives of the South, elected by the only . qualified voters of that, section, will take their seats in Congress, subject only f to tithe condition imposed upon members from other parts of the land ; the natural relations between the Southern States and the General Government will be re sumed, and the Union of the States', triumphant-; ly restored, will rrturn in form, in fact,, and free dom to the original glory of her first and best estate. The restoration of- the South will Open the way to great financial relief. ; When her peo ple are relieved of the domination of the bayo nets and the blacks, they will be encouraged to j productive pursuits ; general prosperity will re- j vive; their palsied ; energies, and their assistance will be happily felt in removing the great buiden of debt which now impedes the national progress. 1 The I costly national , nuisance, the Freedmen's Bureau, will,vbe abolished, and"! common sense ! having mastered . the situation "wni decree that negroes, like white men,,, must , either work or starve. The expensive Southern military estab lishment will be acknowledged unnecessary, and with their disappearance tax-payers will thank God ,and take courage. ; A fair taxation of the Federal securities will yield many millions of revenue, xne national banks suggest anotner opportunity of retrenchment. They own between three and four hundred millions in Federal bond's, upon which they 'drawl ! mterest:? These' bonds are deposited with the Government, and for every $100,000 so deposited; they - receive . $90,000 in national bank notes. ; These ; notes ' constitute their circulation, and With them they carry on the business, and earn the profits of banking pro per. The interest, accruing on tneir deposited bonds is so much premium ' paid them, m addi tion to the regular earnings of' their business. They receive the benefit of just ninety per cent.' more capital' than' they have invested, and this gratuitous-' premium cornea from the pockets of the1 people. 1 Justice requires that this sura, amounting to between twenty and thirty millions annually, be 'saved to the public; - The simple process of recalling the national bank notes and substituting for the bonds legal tenders as bank ing currency will effect the needed result, and another sinkhole for the earnings of laborers will be effectually stopped.-5 In the matter of revenue, fewer articles could be taxed, and through a more perfect and more honest mode of assessment and collection, much larger returns could be realized. Congressional extravagance and corruption should be reformed. Investigating committees should be abolished. ' Land grants and railroad swindles should be abandoned.' ' The Indian wars, like the last, should be avoided." Territorial purchases should be suspended. Countless other modes of waste and .fraud could be corrected and a por tion of the savings set aside for the final redemp tion of the debt. A sinking fund for . this pur pose, made, up of . bond taxation, the premium paid the national banks and the money- wasted in Africanizing the South; would, redeem every' dol lar of the debt in less, than ; twenty years. ; The way to this desired end, could, be opened by .the substitution of legal tender&Lfor the bonds as rapidly as may be consistent with safety. Mil lions now paid in interest would, thvs be econo mized,, and, with the aid' of a restored and pro ducing South, the end of our financial troubles wouW -speedily approach, ii ; i,i ; -i- -tut . : conclusion. '. ' Having thus ' attempted . to set' forth your wrongs, and the possibility of a remedy, we now appeal to you to wark, out the needed reforma tion.' Whatever evils may result from bad gov ernment1 the people are the sufferers'.." 'Whatever reforms are effected must be ; brought about by and through the people themselves.-JEhe people have it in their power to remove the giant ini quities whose shadows darken the' land. They have but to speak; and the enemies of their peace would be powerless, the dignity of the constitu tion . and the . laws Will be vindicated, and their now imperilled country rescued from impending danger, purified and strengthened , by its trials, will resume its majestic march in .the paths of greatness, ihappinesa andtfreedom.
