Observation-Disclosures

For the twentieth time, at least, the
Democrats have opened the annual DO.
lltical campaign with the cry of "nig-
ger" Their motives for opposing the
extension Of the right of suffrage are
now being unmaSked. In the first
place, they oppose it because, ii the
Constitutional Amendment prevails, the
negro question will be forever settled,
and the CopperheadS will thereby lose
all their heavy artillery. And, in the
second place, Democrats must hare SONS.
bOoy to look do,ea upon. 1t is necessity
OF their existence, and without it they
would be supremely unhappy. They
feel and know that the negro is their
equal in everything except political
rights; and they fear that if those rights
are conferred upon him he will be not
only their equal but their superior.
Perhaps their fears are well grounded.
The majority Of men always desire to
vote for men for office whose abilities
and attainments are superior to their
own. Democrats, therefore, fear that
if negroes are given the full rights Of
citizenship, they will be irresistibly i'm
PEELED TO vote for them for constables,
supervisors, and other high and respon-
sible Offices. And then every Demo-
cratic bachelor feels in his very soul
that unless some legal barrier is inter-
posed, his natural inClinations will lead
him to marry black or copper cOlored
lady; and ii colored men are thus de-
prlyed Of their natural partners, they
in turn will be compelled to marry
white ladies of the Democratic persua-
sion. Can that be the reason why
some colored men are opposing the
Constitutional Amendment Do they
fear that Democrats will marry their
daughters7 Would it not be well for
colored ladies to sign and publish
pledge that in no event will they marry

II there is one young Republican in
the State who fears that the adoption OF

means, vote against it.
The proposition that the right Of
suffrage carries with it any social rights,
is monstrous absurdity. Judge Thur
man and all the high-toned Democrats
Of that school, do not hesitate to buy,
sell, trade, and pay taxes on terms Of
equality, not only with negroes, but
with gamblers, thieves and other dis
reputable characters. Do they thereby
recognize them as social equals And
would the extension of the right of suf-
frage to the negro entitle him to equal
rights, which even white men have not,
never had, and, in the nature of things,
never can have ?-C0lumJus Journal.

e5" Bondocrat" is a term of derision
meant for class of true men who stood
by their country in the hour of greatest
peril, when throttled by traitors North
and South, and who furnished means
to the Government to prosecute the war
to a successful termination. They
backed their confidence in the power
and virtue of their country to put down
evil, and gave to the Government all
their means, at the most accepted time.
"Copocrat' is term by which to desig-
nate the traitorous thieves who are en-
deavoring to rob these true men of the
money loaned the Government to put
down their hellish rebellion, and whose
object is to repudiate our country's Just
debt, and substitute the rebel debt

@TnE Chicago Times quotes receu,

eJTHE Chicago Times quotes a recent
article from the Tribune in reference to
Gen. Sheridan, and adds this taunt:
"If all this be true, he is just the man
for the Presidency. Will the Radicals
nominate him? Will the Tribune advo-
cate his nomination? If Congress can
require Of him any work SO degraded
that be will not do it, his history for the
past six months is no indication of his
disposition. He has been dabbling in
filth ever since he was appointed Dis
trict Commander, in the hope to obtain
higher position from the Radicals than
the one he now occupies, and it would
be ungrateful in them to disappoint him.
What Radical newspaper will hoist bis
name?
To which we answer. We are not
in the Presidency business just yet.
We leave that to Mr. Bennett, who
wants Grant and Lee, and the Soup
Committee up town, who think they
would like to run Grant as a sort Of
hunger-appeasing, platter-filling candi-
date There are more important mat
ters on hand than Presidential intrigues
the finances, the tariff reconstruction
When the time does come, we shall try
and find a suitable statesman, as, on the
whole, there are reasons why a states
man should be President for at least
four years.
Therefore we advocate nomination.
But if it will do the Times any good We
will say that there is no soldier more
dear to US than Gen. Sheridan. He has
been as illustrious in peace as in war.
He has been intrepid, resolute, large
souled, brave, and has done his work
grandly. The attacks OF the Times only
elevate him in the affections of the peo-
pie, Still we are far from nominating
him, or anybody else, for the Presidency.
At latest accounts it seems as If Presi-
dent Johnson is anxious to name his
successor-was about to make the
nomination himself, by removing Shcri-
dan from command in Louisiana. If
the Times wants to elect this ''dabbler in
filth" it is taking the true course. IN.

The IRON MAIDEN.-An American CORES
pondent writes recently from the ancient city
of Nuremburg Bavaria, alluding to the relics
of despotic punishment common there half
century ago:
Here is the statue or image-a maiden with
ahood upon her head, an iron ruffie around the
neck. enveloped in an iron cloak. Suddenly
the folds of the cloak are thrown apart, and
by the dim light of the candle you see that
the lining of the garment is set with sharp
spikes Take one step forward, and the
folds enclose you. Iron spikes pierce your
body and into your eyeballs clear through
to the vertebra do they penetrate Not a
quick embrace, but slowly you are enfolded /;
one turn of the screw, just enough to pene-
trate the flesh, just enough to touch the apple
of the quivering eye. Then. after an age of
anguish. another turn, and q hundred spikes
reach little nearer to the nerves and then,
as heat and thirst, and fever. rack the body,
another gentle turn. and another age of
torture and then one more advance of the
spikes towards the Fitals. till death comes on;
and then the maiden. unfolding her arms,
drops her victim down through trap door,
down, down, down into the unknown depths.
We drop the pebble. and hear the faint
splash of water far beneath.
