which disfranchised the COlored People OF this

which again resisted and defeated it in
1860, and which is to-day, as 1t ever has been,
the deadly, inAoxibie foe Of any relaxation
whatever Of the social and political injustice and
oppression TO which this unfortunate race
has been and il subjected, right here IN New

The rro-Slsvery Democracy was in possession
Of the Government when the war broke out, aud
materially assisted IN inaugurating 1t. They
assisted it in its progress, by opposing Mr.. Ian
coins administration and in all safe ways giving
aid and comfort to the enemy. The moment
the war is ended, they stir up anew the deadly
fra,ricidal strife, by demanding the restoration
of the Slave Code throughout the South, the
committal Of legislation in the restored states
exclusively to the Rebel Army. and the full en-
thrnement Of the power that rebelled against
tho Union. Turn out, New Workers, and sup

The Republican party was the agency which
the People used TO carry through the war srd
save the nation. 1t did its work triumplpntly.
The Democratic party was the political sgency
which the Rebels used to stop the war aud
dismember the nation. The people, in their
rage, ground j: to powder at the polls. There
is nothing in the history Of human audacity and
folly SO audaciOus and foolish as tie demand
that the people do now resurrect this Demo-
cratic party and commit to it the interests Of
the country which it lsbored to destroy! The
people will do no such thing. Thepeople do
not commit suicide.

lucid statement Of the chief results of the
pamphlets published on the subject by Blodget'
Elder, Lanier and Walker, and is pervaded by
the most cordial sympathy with our cause.
There are few periodicals in Europe which
throughout the Rebellion have more Eealously
advocated our efforts for putting down the Re

We do not think this an oyorStatement. For,
f planters could thrive on growing Cotton at
10 cents per pound, paying $1,000 per head TOR
their labo-ers, they surely can grow rapidly rich
on growing Just such Cotton with free labor at
32I cents per pound.
As to tho alleged deficiency of Labor, we
regard it as off the same piece with the pretense
that White men could not work in the Cotton
fields of the South; when Free White labor was
at that moment growing an excellent staple
alike in Northern Alabama and in Southern
Texas.
The cry has changed-now it is "Niggers
won I work which is as groundless ~ that
which it has supplanted. Open store in any
part of the South, and say, Here are Bacon,
Flour, Corn Meal, Sugar, Tea, Shecting',
Calicoes, Ginghams, Flanncls, Satinets, &c, TO
be- dealt out at cash prices for Labor and they
who don't wish or choose to spend their wages
as they earn them shall have the full balance
due them in cash 80 soon as the crop in made v
and you will soon have laborers in abundance
and more offering.
Certainly, we do not indorso the assertion
that "Niggers won't work." but they who put
faith in it may do so in welcome. Supply
shelter and food; pay good wages so fast a'
earned; and you can have all the laborers you
want, and suit yourself as to color. The South
has lost heavily in men by the war; hut she has
at least One Million White Male adults to-day;
two.thirds of whom must work or starve. Dis
play the Meal, Mea. and Fabrics where oil who
pass may see them, and the great majority-nt
matter Of what race-will work rather thar
starye. aud if Labor should anywhere prove
deficient, hundreds will rush thither SO soon ~
apprised Of the want. More than One Milhot
have recently been relieved of the Musket and
restored to the Plow. He who imagines tha
they would rather iamish than work is grossly
mistaken.
