Tne Dead and the Live Issues
The people are rapidly taking sides, for
or AGAINST the President, for or against
negro suffrage, according to their afinities.
This is the first chance the radical aboli-
: tionists have had to make clear and dis
tinct issue in favor of their principles of
miseegenation, or the social and physical
amalgamation of the black and white
races, the first step in which is negro sdf-
Z The old Republican party was organised
and sustained by most of its supporters for
he declared purpose Of aresting the sg-
Seesions of the shareholders, and gained
eawer through an alliance with the aboli-
Ionists, whose. vagaries were, for the sake
~ success, tolerated, and to some extent
S..,ored. ais- ~, "a -.
"a During the war many of those fanatical
obolitionists became the leaders of the Re-
publican party, and they now rule it.
Tb.eir mad and destructive measures have
daSen their best men, including the Pres
iaent, from all association with them.
Conservative and patriotic citizens,
whose loyalty consists in devotion to the
Union and the Constitution, and whose
tparamount desire is the restoration of
peace, order and prosperity for the whole
country, cannot probably cooperate with
them in their ruinous policy.
1ney are by nature conspirators, rebels
and vevolutionisss; snd were, in point Of
fact, the original traitors and disunionists,
who did all in their power to aid the orig
inal secessionists Of the South in their
REASONABLE Vaccinations to precipitate
the rebellion. ..'e
While the people on both sides were de-
sroying each other by fighting. they were
occupied in safe plooes, in filing their
pockets from the public treasury, and in
showing their patriotism by speeches on
loyalty, copperheads, the "boys in blue"
@sthe black heroes, - and the rebels.
They made good thing out of the war
they struck lie and have naturally
commenced boring again for another war.
They talked short time ago as if they
would try to get into war shout the Pope
of Rome,-but they have dropped the
Pope for the Negro. For war Of some
kind they must have or die. sg
The first step in this new war is negro
suffrage" This they are resolved to force
on the Southern States. BY the mere agi-
tation Of the negro suffrage question they
hope to cause rising Of the negroes, and
murderous war between them and the
whites: In the next Congress they will
oppose the admission of the Represents
tves and Senators from the Southern
States, and make war upon the President.
They win do an in their power to discour-
age the Government, and promote discord
among the people and conflict between
the North and the South '>.>
The leaders Row operating under the
name Of the Republican Party " are the
genuine disunion abolitonists. No con.
sentative Republican, no honest voter Of
tho old Wing or old Democratic party,
can or will follow such leaders. In fact,
the old Republican party no longer
exists. The old Democratic party with
its discipline and ussges,. no longer
exists. = The events of, the war have de.
stroyed both parties. The people are
everywhere, North and South, East and
West, dividing on new issue, and rang.
ing themselves under the banners of two
new parties one of which supports the re-
construction policy of President JOHNSON
the other opposes It. The first embraces
the whole Democratic party, retaining it,
name, and the conservative portion of thu
old Republican party. The other consists
of only the ultra abolitionists of the ole
Republican party. Their battle cry il
negro suffrage.
Negro suffrage is their candidate. They
win receive the support of those only wh<
prefer that candidate to all others. Every
voter opposed to negro suffrage and mis-.
cegenation, ought to vote the administra.
ton ticket, nominated by the Democratic
party. .e
No intelligent voter will be confused o.
. deceived by names, for all such mus,
know that the Democratic party is The
Administration party, and that now call
ing itself Republican, is the opposition
negro suffrage party.
