The Devil Behind the Curtain
Or, New England Ideas.

During the administration of Gen. Jack
son the New Englanders were exceedingly
pious and philanthropic over the ''poor In
dians,n and belabored the General for his
alleged inhumanity to that portion of "God's
family" Everybody, old enough in the
politics of that day, remembers the lamenta-
tions of the New England Puritans of that
day over the cruel fate of the Indians un-
der the "cursed rule of the military chief
tain"
Times have changed and people with
them, since the administration of Jackson.
Indians were then the care OF the Puritans,
now their regard is for those of African de-
scent-and, simply, on the same basis of
evangelical and party supremacy. In the
days of Jackson they thought they could
make something partisan against the DEM
ocratic party by advocating philanthropic
and piOus views respecting the Indians !;
now, for the same object, they have aban-
doned the Indians and taken to the negro.
An act amending the constitution of Min
nesota, so as to allow negroes to vote, has
been passed by the Legislature OF that
State. 1t is stated officially that there are
two hundred and fifty-nine negroes in the
State of Minnesota, while there are ten thou
sand Indians there, yet no idea is entertained
by the Minnesotians of permitting the In
dians to vote! 1t will be seen, therefore,
that New England ideas of universal lib
erty, franchise, etc., ETC., depends on the
color of the skin, and whether anything
politically can be made out of it.
And the West is governed by New Eng
land

From The Now York Tabletl
Two Prayers 10 be Studied as a

Contrast.
The first is by the Reverend Doctor
Brownlow, and we give IL on the authority
of The Neto York Times. q
The pious divine Is speaking ofa conquer-
ed and submissive people, and finds nothing
better to ask for them than this
y" Impoverish the villains Take all they
have! Give their effects to the Union men
they have crippled and imprisoned; and let
them have their Southern rights They
swore they would carry on the war until
they lost their lands. Put it to them is our
advice! Most religiously fleece them, and
let them know how other men feel when
robbed of all they have!
"Let them be punishedl Let them be
impoverished Let them be slain! And
after slain, let them be damned " WF
The other prayer is the concluding pass
age in a reply to an address presented
lately to the Holy Father, assuring him of
the sympathy of the faithful in the midst
of unexampled combinations against His
Person and against the sacred rights of the
Holy See.
at is true, beloved children, that many
men are united to despoil us, to cover us
with outrage, to spare us no indignity.
But to those who pursue lis with revilings,
moved by divine charity, we have only ben
edictions to offer in return. We pray fer
vently that every soul that has strayed con-
sciously or uhconsciously from the Way
maybe brought again to the Truth, and re-
stored to the Unity of Faith. Let our pray,
ers ascend in concert to Heaven, that all
men may again be united on Earth in the
bonds of holy Charity, and being reconciled
to the Son may we one day glority the
Father in the Joy of blisstul Eternity"

Not Satisfied.

Lincoln's appointment of two of his Pri-
vate Secretaries to important and lucrative
positions, Mr.. Nicolay to the Consulship at
Paris at a salary of $1,000 in gold, and Major
Hay superseding Mr.. Pennington. as Sec
retary of Legation at the same metropolis,
at something over $4,000 in gold, excites
unfavorable comment among the Presidents
friends. ''Soiourner," the Washington cor
respondent of The Netcdrk (N.J.) AdUertis-
en-, says Of the new incumbents: J9os r..H
"They are both quite young for such hon
ors, and the latter is but beardless boy,
who travels on the title of Major, conferred
upon him when dispatched with the cele
brated Florida exhibition for the purpose
of distributing the Presidents Proclama-
tion through the State as the boys do thea
ter bills through your city. The expedi-
tion failed, however, and he returned to the
White House, and has ever since paraded
his Majors uiform, upon all dress occasions.
Some older and perhaps more meritorious
aspirants for the place express the opinion
that the youth should have been allowed to
tarry in Jericho till his beard is grown"

Davenport Gazette very truly remarks that
the question whether the Word white" shall
be stricken from the clause OF our State
Constitution limiting and defining the
right Of suffrage, /" Is the coming question
OF our State politics" That part of the
Constitution (Sec. of Article I'D reads as
follows: M
NEyery white male citizen of the United
States of tle age of twenty-one years, who
shall have been resident of this State six
months next preceding the election, ana OF
the county in which he claims his vote sixty
days, shall be entitled to vote at all elections
which are now or hereafter may be authorlz-
ed by law"
We believe, with The Gazette, that this is to
be an important question in our politics, and
the day for its agitation has come. There
are many, if not a majority, of the Repub-
lican party who would now unhesitatingly
vote to strike out the word white in the above
quoted section On the other hand there
are many of the party in whose mind there
fingers prejudice against black skin,
who are not yet ready to vote for such an
amendment. The Democratic party may
be counted unit against the amendment.
But as it will require two or three years to
get the change effected by due form of law,
it may reasonably be expected that the
agitation of the subject In conjunction with
the inevitable teachings of the war will, by
the time the matter is brought before the
people for their adoption or rejection, bring
the opinions of majority of the voters Of
the State to favor the amendment.
Prejudice should never be allowed to bias
our minds in any matter: and 1t is very UNI
wise to allow the common prejudice against
the black man to overrule our Judgment
in matter which concerns the rights of all
men. Ifanegro is intelligent and educated,
and good citizen in every respect, why
shall he not have voice in the selection OF
public officers and legislators?
We believe that the ability to read and
write the English language should be made
alegal qualification forthe privilege of exer-
cising the elective franchise, and that If a
citizen is qualified in this respect, he should
be allowed to vote, whether black or white
and If he is not thus qualified he ought to
be debarred that privilege, even though
white. uI iL .aT

Anew REAsONs WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH,
IS THE BEST.

1t is made on the best principle, while the foree
watch is generally made on no principle atall. The
foreign watch is mostly made by women and boys
BY HAND. While their labor is cheap, their wotk
dear at any price, Such watches are made without
rlan and sold without guarantee. They are irreg-
ular in construction and quite irregular in move
ment. They are designed only TO sell. and the buy
or is the party most thoroughly sold. Those who
have kept "aucres, :" "lepines" and Swiss levers"
in professed repair for few years will appreciate
the truth of our statement. ..r, .,,rrr,n
THE PLAN OF THE AMERICAN WATCH.
Instead of being made Of several hundred little
pieces screwed together, the body of the American
Watch is formed of SOLID PLATES. No jar in
terferes with the harmony Of its working, and no
sudden shock can throw its machinery out Of gear.
In riding or any busine IS pursuit. 1t is all held To-
gether as firmly as single piece Of metal. 1t just
what all machinery should be-
1st. ACCURATE. %. SIMPLE. Sd. STRONG.
4th. ECONOMICAL. flsa- r.a tHa .ils2
D We not only secure CHEAP APNESS by our system
but QUALITY. We do not pretend that our Watch
can be bought for less money than the foreign make
beeUes but for its real value it is sold for one-haf
the price. HIl4fA
OUR SOLDIERS WATCH tnamed VIM. Ellery)
is what its name indicates Solid. Substantial and
always Reliable-warranted to stand any amount Of
Marching Riding or Fighting.
OUR NEXT HIGHEST QUALITY OFWATCH
(named p s. BARTLETT similar in size and general
appearance, but has more Jewels and more elabor-
ate finish. 2rr rF $40 T{2Y

is put up in great variety Of patterns, many Of
them of rare beauty and workmanship, is quite
small, but warranted to keep time. 80 strJ
OUR YOUNG GENTLEMAN'S WATCH Is
neat not large and Just the thing for the pocket Of
Young America.
= THE PROOF of the merits of our Watch may be
found in the fact that we now employ over seven
hundred workmen in cur factories, and that we are
still unable to supply the constantly increasing de-
mand. - s ahl ~ 7b
OUR THREE-Q QUARTER PLATE WATCH is
thinner and lighter than the others we have descrb
cd. Its fine chronometer balance is delicatey ad-
usted to correct the vibration caused by changes Of
temperature These watches are the fruits iof the
latest experiments in nchronometry, and are made by
our best workmen, in a separate Departmental our
factory. For the finest time keeping qualities they
challenge comparison With the best works Of the
most famous English and Swiss makers.

Important to Oil Diggers.

Mr.. S. Leland, of the Metropolitan Hotel,
advertises in another column a Drilling
Machine and Sand Pump, which is said to
be superior to any instrument now in use
for sinking oil wells. Every thing neces-
sary to the process, excepting of course, the
steam engine and driving pipe, is scomprised
in this machine, which has been tested
practically in the oil regions of Pennsyl-
vania, and found to be a, perfect success,

FRoM WASHINGTON TERR1ToRY.-By private
letter from a friend at Olympia, we learn
that considerable disgust is manifested at
the folly ofMr. Mercer, who is reported en-
route to the Sound with 700 Yankee women
from Massachusetts. The Blacks themselves,
of whom this man Merceris among the most
radical, are unsparing in their. denunciation
of the heartless folly of man who has, by
Misrepresentation and falsehood, induced
such q large number of females to forsake
their homes in the East, and emigrate to a
country totally unprepared to provide homes
for them. Great suffe ing must follow their
advent, and what is to become of them, is a
question not easily solved. When they as-
certain the deception, this fellow, Mercer,
will have to leave there in hurry, or we are
mistaken in the revenge of woman. Those
who came out with him last year, heartily
denounce him, and accord him every name
except that of gentleman. The vessel they
come In is not to touch anywhere short OF
Seattle, and the people there are dismayed to
think what can be done with SO many Yankee
women. Gov. Pickering is said to be with
them, on a. free passage around the Horn
