A FizzLg.-There WAS q republican mass
mcctng-so called-.t Hickory Grove. zee
terday evening. Messrs. Henry Jensen and
A. II. Brooks furnished the elcqusnce. A
friend who came that way informs 10 that
thc less the republicans can say about the
crowd, the better. The speeches were clio
Guent and delivered vita much feeling
But il IVES like feeling in the dark after all.
Nobody took interest enough in it to turn
out. Even the hottest Maine LAW men out
there have become so salivatcd By the re-
publican quacks that have been engineer
ing matters, that they sprefsr the quiet Of
their weil.eared corn fields TO any long
cared disquisitions from any uckesy old
csmpaign band,wsgon that can be an.
nounced.
An eloquent appeal was made by the
speakers to the empty stools and benches,
to beware particularly Of "copperheads."
Though . fierce champion Of stringent
prohibitOry liquor laws, Mr.. Brooks wasted
not his breath in that direction, but shut
his eyes tight upon his pct theory, sd-
v:sed the support Of License. Law men for
Legislature. That hurt tho feelings Of
the Hickory Grove temperance nsn muchly.
II can't be helped.

We are glad to observe that our
compilation of Democratic arguments
for impartial suffrage IS having a quite
extensive circulation. The subject
has been by no means exhausted, and
it would net be difficult to show that
the Democratic party, if the repeated
declarations cf its leaders and journals
are worth anything, cannot oppose
negro suffrage without committing the
most shameless inconsistency. Last
winter the Chicago Times, a bitter Cop
peThead sheet, declared over and over
that negro suffrage was absolutely nee
essary to the existence of its party, and
that the Democracy had but to choose
between that aud inevitable ruin,
The New York Herald also a Demo
cratic paper said about the same time
that Sin trying TO push negro suffrage,
the Radicals are trying to do what will
inevitably come of itself, and come all
the more speedily if they will consent tt
restore the Union. In scouting negro
suffrage as a thing never to be tolerat-
ed, the extreme Southern party display
Just as little wisdom or foresight"
The Buffalo Courier, Milwaukee,
News, Cincinnati Volksfreund, Bos
ton Post, Philadelphia Age, anC
a large number of other "staunoh'
Democratic sheets all copied en-
dorsed aud strongly advocated thr
sentiments of the Chicago Times
To these have since been added hun
dreds of other declarations for Negro
suffrage by the Southern wing of th'
Democracy, which not only recognizes
the right Of negroes to vote, but in.
vites them to participate in its eonven,
tions and zealously labors to secure
their vote for the Democratic ticket
The time is not distant when the Dem,
ocracy Of Ohio will be found doing
the same thing. Mark that.
Delaware gazette. [volume] (Delaware, Ohio) 1855-1886, 1867-05-24


Be it remembered that the Demo
cratic party, which distresses itself so
much about disfranchising deserters,
threatened open resistance aud revolu-
ton if the votes Of the soldiers, who
were fighting at the front. were count
ed in the coutest of Lincoln and Nc
Clellan. The same party invariably
aud unanimously voted against every
measure brought forward IN Congress
and the Legislatures of the States to
secure political rights to soldiers in the
field. The same party, bY its repre-
sentatives, proposed aud unanimously
voted for, IN the General Assembly Of
Ohio last April, a constitutional
amendment to disfranchise every mem
Der of the Grand Army of the Re
public, an organiza ton which admits
none but soldiers honorably diseharg-
ed. The same party refused to per-
nit the crippled inmates of the State
Soldiers Home to vote at Columbus
last fall The same party has nomin-
ated candidate on its ticket who, in
his own store, assisted a Copperhead
mob in shooting three soldiers of the
49th Ohio. in the year 1868. So much
for the Soldiers party" which takes
deserters under It's wing as its pet
bantlings.
Upon this subject of DISTINGUISHING
persons convicted of deaertion the
following extract from standard work
on parliamentary law has direct bear
ing and throws considerable light :
Convictions Of certain crimes fur
nish so obvious a ground of disqualif-
cation (for voting), both as a punish
ment for crime and as conducting to
the purity of elections, that it is ez-
pressIy inserted az such for the crimes
therein respectively enumerated, in
the constitutions of Rhode Island,
Connections, New Jersey, Delaware,
Virginia, Maryland, Louisiana, Wis
consin, and California. In the con-
stitutions Of New Jersey and Della
ware, it is further provided, and in
those of New York, Florida, Tennes-
see and Indiana it is declared that
laws may be passed disqualifying per
sons convicted of crimes from exer-
cising the rights of suffrage. This
disqualification, like other cOnse-
uuences Of conviction, would probably
be held to be removed by the ordinary
pardoniDg power but the disqualif-
cation is to continue by the constitu-
ton of Rhode Island, until the party
is expressly restored to his right Of
suffrage by an act Of the general as
sembly ; by that of New Jersey un-
less he is pardoned and restored by
law to the right of suffrage, and By
that of Wisconsin restored to ciyi
rights"

The following appeared lin the New

To the Editors of the EUeniag Post
As j eff. Davis is to be here this day
would it not be proper to ask that all
persons disabled in the cause of the
Union should keep out of his way, so
as not to wound his feelings? G.. w. B,
Also the following "W ord Of Advice
to Mr.. Davis n
Mr.. j effersOn Davis Will, it is report
ed, arrive in New York to- day As it
is possible that our journal may fall
under the eyes of some of his friends,
we suggest to them the prOpriety of
urging the traitor chief to the most
modest demeanor while he is here.
The public Is greatly and justly out
ragged at his release 1t desired and
expected to see him brought to trial,
and condemned to the punishment
which the laws decree for such crimes
as his.
That he has not been brought to
trial for these crimes Is, we think, an
injury to the country, and will prove a
source of weakness hereafter to us.
But as be has been released, a decent
respect for public opinion demands
scure place, and live there in the ut
most retirement. It is not fit or de-
cent that he should be seen in New
York at all. IF there is any dark un-
visited corner where he can hide him
self, let him stink to it and there re-
main.
IF he is SO ill-advised and foolish as
to attempt any public appearance here,
he will, not improbably, excite a pub
lie commotion and tumult When
just laws remain unexecuted, whel
great and atrociOus criminals are by
the connIyance of the authorities al
lowed to escape punishment, the sense
OF outraged justice sometimes leads the
people to take matters into their own
hands, aud to deal that Justice which
IS denied by the courts and other au-'
thorities. We do not mean to Justify
any such resort to violence but we
know that the public mind is deeply
and painfully excited, not only at the
release Of the leading and most impu-
dent and stiff necked traitor, but also
at his shame iss insolence in coming
here to show himself Immediately up
on his liberation.
Our streets are still full of wounded

his crime. Thousands of our citizens
have seen the shattered wrecks turned
over to us from the loathsome Libby
prison; the poor famished and frozen
fellows who came home from the hor
rible pen of Belleisle to die, or to live
out few painful years of suffering.
All know that these foul prisons were
not at a great distance, but under the
very eyes of Davis when he looked
out Of his bedroom windows every
morning he saw our starving soldiers
at Belle Isle; when he rode out for
his pleasure or health he rode by the
Libby. Nor was his malignant heart
content even to thus starve and freeze
to death our soldiers, but he added

1r1sEAKEH PHILANTHROPY.


1t is very manifest that Mr.. Horace
Greeley has added nothing to his pop
ularity by joining his signature to that
of few Democrats on JEFF. Davis bail
bond. The people are justly and deep
Iy incensed at Davis release, and Mr..
Greeley gets a vigorous Overhauling
for helping Of his own accord, to unbar
the traitors cell The Richmond fire
eaters, we are told, applaud the course
of the Tribune Philosopher, but from
the great mass of Unionists, North and
South, 1t receives the bitterest censure,
and we might say ezecration.
Against all this Mr.. Greeley at
tempts to justify himself by saying that
the dignity of the nation demanded
that Mr.. Davis be either tried or set
free. We know not how much the
dignity" of this country may be
worth, but we do know that it has cost
a great deal. And after all We are not
certain but the best way to conserve it
would be to visit with severe and con-
digu punishment some of those who
have so wantouly and villainously in
suited it. A government that cannot
make itself terror to traitors cannot
have much dignity, or command the
respect it ought to- IF our laws are
such that the greatest criminal in the
land, the one guilty of the blacklist
crimes known to human law, cannot
be brought to punishment, while oul-
prits of lesser degree are being hung
for their offenses every day, then a
fact is revealed which must excite pro-
found contempt for our national iuris-
! prudence. We do not see therefore
how Davis release can save our dig
nifty, inasmuch as it is not a conceal
ment of our weakness but an absolute
confession of it which it would be idle
to attempt to retraet or palliate. Had
Davis been kept imprisoned during
his natural life, even though never
tried. that would have been a lesson
worth something to future conspira-
tors. It would have demonstrated
our power to punish even though it
might have been construed into a con-
fession of our inability to try aud con-
vict.
But Mr.. Greeley tells us it is an out
rage to keep a man in prison SO long

1t is part Of his spaniel theory
to come at once to New York, when
he is released. Let his friends, Of
whom he appears to have some in

He has no business here; he has no
right to walk our streets, to haunt
himself In the faces of the widows
and orphans his crime and his stiff

Let him stink away, over by-roads, in

WILL EUEoPE KEEP THE REACEs

The London peace treaty has been
signed, the Conference has adjourned,
France and Prussia have covenanted
not to go to war about Luzemburg,
the territory is to be neutralized, the
fortress to be razed. Nol0 will Europe
keep the peaee2
The question substantially amounts
to this: will the great powers disarm?
Two persons engaged in bandying
threats and brandishing weapons at
each other on the street are interfered
with By the crowd and persuaded to
promise that they will go no fur
ther." What will such a promise
amount to as long as the parties are
allowed to stand face to face, hatred
burning in their hearts and glaring in
their eyebaIls, and each holding a cock
ed pistol pointed at the Others head ?
Yet such is just the condition in
which the Peace Conference leaves
Europe to day. The bone of contention
is not removed; the parties who we're
about to struggle for it have simply
agreed for the present to let it alone.
Meanwhile France zealously continues
her warlike preparations and strains
every nerve to increase her military
force to million electives. Prussia,
already possessing a splendid army, per-
feet in discipline and equipment, and
nerved with double force by the pres
tige of triumph, keeps her arsenals
busy in the manufacture of needle guns
and an improved pattern of breech
loading steel cannon. Austria ener-
getically recruits her thinned battal~
ions, and her workshops are actively
employed in remodeling 100000, Of her
old style muskets according to Wan
