DOn'ILIke the Name

Some of our Black r publican friends
don't like the naue which has been given
them by the Democracy.
If, as they maintain a negro is as good
as white man, his equal 10 every respect
why should they object to being styled
Black Republicans. They profess to have
q" prejudice on account of color or CONS
plexion, why then do they lock upon it as
degrading to be designated by that sppeI-
lation!
A man is known by the company he
keeps If from choice white individual
associ ties with blacks. Why should he OBJ
ject to tie name blackY If negroes ought
to be placed on an equality with ourselves,
whs disgrace is attached to those main
tanning this theory, if We call them me-
gross?

profession and sVocation give az much of
his time from now TILL the osing Of the
polls ON next Tuesday. as his circumstances
will permit A few days effort on the part
Of every Democrat and the country will be
rescued from the misrule Of Lincoln and
his sdherents.
ThILk OF the loss Of a million of brave

happiest, greatest aud ireest on the face of
the earth, and ask bin to Vute with you
and try change Of administration, and
see If the old condition of things cannot be
