We are greatly indebted to our friend
"Pike" for some valuable information,
which may be useful hereafter. He will
perceive that the innocent parties, con-
sulting prudence, have "dried up" to use
a phrase that excited the ire Of the faS
tidious Johnny short while ago, not da-
ring to meet or deny the crushing allcga-
tons brought against them; and unless
they again intrude where their presence
is a nuisance, we shall let the matter rest
for the present. Evidence of their trcach-
cry is daily accumula!ing on our hands, as
well as the propositions they made, which
were scornfully rejected, and what they
demanded for their support. Interest and
revenge got the better of their judgment
principle they are strangers to-and
bait was thrown out to them which they
jumped at with avidity, but they find it
has turned to ashes on their lips."-
Others are rcaping the benefit of their
treason-they the contempt of every true
Democrat.
{ For reasons not necessary to publish
but which we will explain to a Demo
crat of Indian Diggings," we have not
given place to his communication. lie
informs us that he and other reliable DEM
ocrats Of that precinct, "know and have
spotted the 6Olters;;" and that he expects
to find every one Of them, at the next
election, in the ranks of the Black Repub-
licans. We give the concluding para
graph of his letter:
"When the boilers were with Democrats
tended to vote for him, and when with Repub-
licans they threw Stanly's friends in the shade
in their praises of Stanly. Such Democrats
have no faith in and think tinctured with Re.
publicanism. How do you class them!"
A FRANK ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS has
proved that the African race is immeasu.
rably inferior, in mental and physical en-
ergy, to the Anglo-Saxon, and that it is
morally impossible to place them on an
equality with the whites. They are in
dolent, improvident, viscious, = utterly
worthless when left free to act for them
selves, and totally incapable Of apprccia-
ting the blessings ofliberty. In the beau
tiful and fertile island of Jamaica, they
have relapscd into barbarism; and even
in New York, although living in an indus
trious and intelligent community, they
have retrograded. One of their best
friends, one who has done more for them
than all the freedom shriekers" put to.
gether, reluctantly admits this. In a late
speech, Gerrit Smith--and We quote it
for the benefit of the defunct imam Of
piOus meditation and study"-said:
OF the three thousand colorcd men to whom
gave land, probably less than fifty have taken
and continue to hold possession of their grants.
What is worse, half the three thousand, as /
judge, have either sold their land or been so
careless us to allow it to be sold for taxes. ''
AccrDENr.-On Saturday last, young
man named Daniel Cowhich was severely
injured while at work in his tunnel on
Reservoir Hill. As he was going into
the tunnel, he observed block of dirt
hanging loosely in the bank, and suppo-
sing it to be small he struck it with his
pick, for the purpose Of removing it,
The detached portion proved much larg-
er than was anticipated, and falling with
great force, before Mr.. Cowhich had time
to cxtricate his pick or get out of its
reach, the sharp point of that instrument
was driven into his thigh, infiicting an
ugly wound. DR.. Clark Of this city, was
called in and dressed the wound.
