Truce OF God.

Never before in the history Of the
world, says the New York Day Book,
were neighbors and friends SO wrongly
and unhappily forced to become enemies
and murderers of each other as the un-
fortunate people of the "B order States"
in the late civil war. The people of Ten
ncssce, Kentucky, Maryland, &c, had no
cause for conflict or disturbance in their
midst, and were all living in the most
complete harmony with each other. There
was, it is true, the ordinary political
questions on which they might divide in-
to political parties and appeal to the bal
lot-box as the final arbiter, but in regard
to the question that tore tho States asun-
der and forced their people into deadly
antagonism, there was no difference of
opinion or conflict whatever. They had
n child race in their midst, natural mi
nors, who, like other minors, were in do.
mestic subordiuation suited to the nature
and wants, and in all Tennessee, &c, there
was not one single citizen who desired
any change or modification in the social
status or relations of this element of their
population. But Massachusetts, and 9TH
er northern States fancied this condition
of things wrong, aud that it should be
abolished and the negroes elevated, or
the whole citizenship degraded into COM
mon condition, and they sought posses
sion of the government of all the States
to use it as an instrument to force the
States having this negro element to ANAL
gamate their negroes into the general
citizenship. The Gulf States, with their
large negro populations, knew that this
was social destruction-indeed, that the
people had better be swallowed up by an
earthquake than be subject to such a des-
tiny, aud they hoped to escape it by Sc.
cession and Southern Confederacy -
This brought down the whole power OF
the northern States on them, and the uu-
fortunate people of the Border States
were forced to take one side or the other.
and thus become the slayers Of their own
friends and ncighbors without any cause
of conflict whatever among Themselves
What a sad and pitiful fate for poor
Champ Ferguson and scores of other good
men and true, TO thus become the victims
of bowling Abolition lunatics in the
North, who, through all the scenes of
blood aud misery, remained safe in their
distant homes But the war is over, and
We trust the people of the Border States
will forget and forgive each other, if not
the Abolitionists, and like Henry oi
France in the eleventh century, establish
Truce of God" that shalt restore the
old kindly relations so atrocious!y inter
ruptcd by the madness and crimes Of 9TH
ers

OUTRAGEs ON "LoYAL CoLoRED"
MEN IN THE NoRTH.-We notice that
the Mongrel papers only fish up cases of
alleged cruelty to negroes south of the
Potomac. The other day "colored
unionist' was taken from the Jail in Lans-
ing, Mich, and hanged by the rebels
of that vicinity. And the other day the
rebels" in Brooklyn attacked another
"ward of the nation" and stabbed him to
the heart. All over the North these acts
occur, and yet the Tribune never hears
of such cases, except south of Mason &
Dixon's line. Why is it?

at a place called Holly, in the State of
Michigan, an inhuman father by the name
of Buck, whipped his little son only ten
years of age, with strap of leather, until
the little fellow was completely exhausted /;
and, not satisfied with this, fastened heavy
chain to his ankles, attached a heavy stick
of wood to the other end, and compelled the
poor boy to drag it about the remainder of
the day. Ifthe little fellow had been black,
and the scene down South, the Harpers
would have had another chance for picture
for the Weekly.

We have had but one number, believe,
since the meeting Of the Legislature
Members inquire every week of me why
the paper does not come. | assure all
parties that the paper is mailed wherever
ordered. We have now had two mails
since the publication day of the DEMO

on. Nothing Of interest yesterday.
Very truly, GEO. X. HELM.
All We can say TO the above is that the
DEMOCRAT has been regularly mailed,
every week, since the sitting of the Leg
isIaturc, to those members who have or.
dered it. We are utterly unable to conceive
what is the matter but are using our
best endeayors TO ferret out the gross
negligence, or rascality, of some officials
which must somewhere exist.
