You deposed our State governments and ejected from office every official, from Governor to township constable, and remitted us to a State of chaos in which the only light of human authority for the regulation of human affairs and the control of human passions was that which gleamed from the polished point of the soldier's bayonet. Under this simple and easily comprehended system of jurisprudence so consonant to the great assertion of the great Dec- 228 LIFE OF VANCE.
laration, that " government...s derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, " you began and completed the task of guaranteeing to us a "Republican" form of government. You disfranchised at least ten per cent, of our citizens, embracing the wisest, best and most experienced. You enfranchised our slaves, the lowest and most ignor- ant ; and you placed over them as leaders a class of men who have attained to the highest positions of infamy known to modern ages.
In order to preserve the semblance of consent, conventions were called to form new constitutions, the delegates to which were chosen by this new and unheard-of constituency.
