troops has added lustre to our history. and
,oithos.t the negro's aid, oar armies soould not
hare succeeded. The negro has fought and
conquered for US, and deserves REGARD. He
has right to sit on juries, to hold Office, and
to vote"
The Rock Island Union says "the war was
a failure until the negroes were called in. -
Here lie an extract from that paper, the organ
of the court house clique ticket
s'It WAS only after'two years OF unsuccessiui-
war had been waged and the government began 10
despair ofts ability to save itself that the negroes
were called in to help us. when we came 10 the
conclusion could not save ourselves without
freeing and armIng them, we freed them anu put
them in armies"
The Union, in the aboye extract, not only
puts you, the white soldiers of our county,
below the negro in skill and bravery as SOL
ders, but it demands that all the ignorant,
degraded negroes of the south be placed on
an equality with you. 1t says:
''We conceive that, in the reconstruction of the
south, 1t is our duty to provide for the cOlored
people the right of suffrage. All loyal [negrol
men must, under uniform prudential and just reg
ulatons, be permitted to exercise the freedman's
rlght-the elective franchise. But this result
cannot be achieved without a contest with the
lords of aristocracy. This battle is to be
fought This is the duty OF the hour.''
Hear this, gallant white soldiers 1.-The
negro" not you white soldiers, "has fought
and conquered for u.s." and 'they must"
says the organ of the court house clique tick
ct, "be made your equals" This" says
the Union, sis the duty of the hour" What
think you of such words? And these sland-
erers are now seeking your votes for their
candidates. And tor what purpose? In or.
der.to give the negro the ballot, Office, and
the jury box. Soldiers, are you ready for
this
One other extract, out of the thousands,
must suffice. The Chicago Tribune and the
Chicago Republican, leading radical papers
of the west, take particular delight in putting
the negro on stills. The latter print exults
over the negro soldiers achievements. For
getting to speak word in behalf of the gal
liant deeds of the white soldier, it declaims in
strains of wonder about "the sublime and
heroic virtues" of the negro.
Gallant soldiers of Illinois, these are the
| terms in which the negro suffragists speak o
seal of your Misrepresentation upon such efforts
to degrade you aud to di'pnrage your serv-
| ices.
We appeal to your self-respect and intelli
gence. Let no negro-sutfragists get your
| vote.

One OF our exchanges calls attention to the
historical fact that, while the republican rad
icals are pressing the claim OF negroes to vote
in a white mans country, they are careful
to keep out of sight the fact that in Hayti,
Liberia, and every other negro government.
white men are not permitted to vote or hold
Office of any kind. We don't blame the
darkies-only "what is sauce for the goose"

We rather pity the Chicago Republican
ard it's Washington correspondent whose
daily letters from the national capital are
filled with dismal groaus because the pard-
oned people of the south don't 60 down on
their knees to every niger worshipper, and
because they don't 60 about moaning and in
misery every day. The radical republicans
evidently think that when man has been
pardoned he should continue to be punished
just tho if no had never been pard-
oned. We had supposed that, when man
was pardoned and restored to his former
rights, he was placed upon equality with
other citizens, aud entitled to all the rights
of other citizens. The negro worshippers
evidently DONE think so.

The republican papers have expressed the

The letter Is not sufficient answer to
the republican prints, but it is q complete and
mastery vindication of the platform and
principles of the democratic party. The
causes that have heretofore divided men ed

moved and the great issues around which all
democrats rally as unit, are set forth by
Judge Grover In the strongest and clearest
language. But comments upon the letter
are unnecessary. 1t speaks for itself, and
for those patriotic men who. like Grover and
Robinson, and Slocum, see that the salvation
of the country can only be attained through
the democratic organization.

DEAR SIR have noticed in the public
press expressions of belief that some of the
candidates, including myself would decline
the nomination rendered them by the recent
democratic state convention. So far as / am
concerned, the nomination was wholly un-
sought; but In the present condition of the
country, and of pending political issues, l
have no disposition to decline it. 1t was

all the ardoY which thorough conviction, mot
only of their soundness, but of their eminent
tendency to preserve unimpaired our free in

New METRoPoLITAN.-It Is clearly de.
monstrated that the higher order of the
Drama and the higher order of talent is
not appreciated in Evansville. There
was perhaps never more talented COM
pany presented to an Evansville audi
ence for their patronage and their favor,
than that which Mr. Golden has engaged
during the present season, at an i'm
mense expense, and no finer plays have
been presented than the series produced
during the past few weeks, and vet this
fine talent and superior plays are pre-
scented, night after night, to beggarly
array of empty boxes. A..few knights of
burnt cork, 20 matter what their ante
cedents, always draw house. 1t is not
very creditable to the taste of our city.
Last night pEvadne," acknowledged by
all men of literary taste to be, one of
the finest plays on the American stage
was witnessed by less than an hundred
people, and it was admirably played,
The farce was also well presented.
" Tonight the beautiful and thrilling
play of EAST Lynne" will be repeated,
with Miss Price in 4z1hs tif6HH55lmI Tcharac-
ter of s'Eady Isabel Carlyle" and MAD.
anne Vine which will constitntes the
entire evenings entertainment We
hope to see larger audience, as both
the play and the play ers deserve it.

ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN RAIL
RoAD.-By reference to an advertise
ment in another column, it will be seen
that Mr.. Daniel 6. Mark, Of the enter
prising firm of MarKa& Warren, of this
city, has been appointed freight agent of
the Great Broad Gauge Corporation
known as the Atlantic and Great West
ern Railway Company. He is prepared,
we believe to sign through bills of lading
and guarantee the time in which goods
will be delivered in, or received from,
New York, Boston, and iother Eastern
cities The Atlantic and Great Western
Railroad is e wealthy corporation, and
no doubt will use every instrumentality
towards securing share of our freight.
Cotton and tobacco especially will be
attended to by Mr.. Mark, and their
prompt-deiixery guaranteed, This=is q
new agency, but we anticipate it will
prove a success.
