Proving too Much.

A very worthy and very pious church
man had such vivid conceptions of the evils
to be expected from coming in contact
with his Satanic majesty, that he had a
fancy picture of him, gotten up by some
one of lively Imagination hung up in
conspicuous place in his house that his
children might have just horror of him.
and thereby avoid him and his influence !;
but unfortunately for the good deacon,
constant familiarity bred contempt, and
his children came to feel no more dread Of
the picture or what it represented than
they did of one of the familiar cat or dog.
So in the case of giving to the colored
population of the South the franchise of
voting. Those who oppose bestowing upon
this class, this necessary right, by their
argument prove too much, unless they
mean to assert that only a privileged few.
or those of particular cast Of mind shall
exercise this privilege. If they can be be-
lieved, these unfortunate men, never could
be trusted with any Of the rights of men.
Years ago We must not discuss the slavery
question because it would endanger the
lives of their masters; and yet these
masters took it into their heads, that they
would discuss it with the U. S. Govern
ment at the point of the bayonet, notwith-
standing this involved the necessity of
leaving the blacks almost in entire control
Of their masters families, and their planta-
tons.

The World Moves.

The Boston Courier has moved from its
old bed of prejudice, and sour krout poll
tics, aud has taken stand on the line OF
the Union. Hear its caustic remarks on
Geo. n. Sanders:
''MAKING AND MEDDLING."
Geo. n Sanders las addressed a letter
to the patriots of the SOUTH through
the columns Of the Montreal Telegraph,
and sends it to us with the following
note:
MONTREAL, c. E., June 8, 1865.
Sir,-Enclosed you have my programme
for the formation of a great and powerful
national party. hope the idea will be
encouraged by yOu,-enlarged and i'm
proved through your editorial columns
The forced publication Of the secret evil
dence in the conspiracy trial at Washing
ton has developed trio of the most reck-
lessly cramlned pcrlurers ever uncovered
in America. Yours respectfully,
GEO. n. SANDERS.
Editor "Boston Courier"
ut seems to us quite time for Mr.. Geo \
Sanders to understand that, as an outlaw
charged with most atrociOus crime, fol
which he dares not surrender to stand his
trial before jury of his former country
men, he is in no position to offer advice to
any portion of the people of this country
North or South. In assuming to do so, he
manifests a shameless impudence, which
the now loyal people of the redeemed
States of the South will be the first to re-
pulse with the scorn which it deserves.
Mr.. George n. Sanders's part in American
politics is played out, and he may as well
reconcile himself to the fact at once
Whatever may be "his programme" for
the formation of parties. national or sec
tional, in this republic. he had better keep
to himself retire into fitting obscurity, and
spend the rest nj his days in repenting the
sins of factionst, rebel and traitor,
if not conspirator and an assassin"

following information:

Republicans of Somerset, o., on the occa-
sion Of General Sheridan's recent visit to
his home in that place. The day before
the General was to leave, Mr.. Finck call
ed upon him and offered to escort him to
Lancaster, where he would take the oars.
The General at once accepted the invita-
tion. But that evening some Of the
extra loyalists got wind Of the arrange
meat, and thinking they could head off
Finck, got up an escort and solicited the
General to go with them. This he posi-
lively declined to do informing them that
he had accepted Mr. Finck's invitation,
and should keep his promise. Accord
ingly General Sheridan rode to Lancas-
ter in a carriage with Mr, Finck and two
err three friends, to the infinite disgust
and sad discontinue of the lOyalists.
The Lancaster Eagle speaking of Gen.
eral Sheridan's arrival there in company
with Mr.. Finck, says: "The ardor Of

without the Democrati 9 party, and it
never will. Under the guidance of Dem.

been plunged into an abyss Of ruin by
four short years Of Republican misrule
All that is left of the elements of future
prosperity and greatness, has been So vet
