They Won't Vote for a Demo-

Every day or two we are told that there
are Republicans who are con-inced that
there should be a change in the Congress
siond delegation; that they see that since
December last in Congress the Republican
members have talked and voted only such
laws and constitutional amendments as have
special references to the exaltation Of the
Negroes, and for jobbing schemes that will
take any quantity Of millions If dollars out
Of the hard earnings of the people; hat they
see that at every step they have run coun-
ter to the President in his noble work Of
Cancellation; that while he would have Grad
icated all cause for continued bitterness;
they have persistently lsbarei to increase
and indurate TIE existing bitterness; and
that yet the Republicans who thus feel and
believe could not be induced to vote for a
Democrat for Congress who would 90 into
Congress with the determination of throw
ing the weight of his influence against all
schemes of robbery and corruption, and i'll
favor o. the President policy of concilia-
ton AMI Union; that rather than so vote
they would vote for a Radical known dis.
ruptionist-a voter and supporter ofschemea
by which they have been plnndered and will
continue to be plundered.
Now, We don't believe, says the States
nan, the people would act in such manner.
To believe so would be to impeach their good
sense. IL a Republican in urgent need of a
physician, will he send for a known quaek,
because he is Republican, instead of for n
skillful physician because he is a Democrat?
Not by considerable. Is a Republican in
need of a first class lawyer, will he employ a
lawyer of questionable capacity, inasmu"h
as he is a Republican. ins!ea Of employing
a lawyer of acknowledged ability, because in
his politics he is a Democrat? M. Even
DR.. Dorsey, with his intense hatred of what
is called ''Copperheais" and Democrats,
when the law took hold of him for alleged
malfeasancc in Office, was prompt to en-
gage the services Of a ''Copp3rhAal' law

When once any portion of the people are
convinced that their rights and interests
have been tempered with by their Represen

with far greater readiness vote for a Demo

them, Republican though he be.
