Nail the Flag to the Mast.

The first Interpretation of our defeat is
the cowardly one. We must haul down our
flag. Because we have lost this battle, we
have lost the whole campaign. Let us stack
our muskets, iurl our banners, surrender
everything, and give our parole never again
to take up arms against the enemy. Our
principles have ruined us, and every body
knows that political party should never
have principles that are at all unpopular.
We must trim with the trimmers cringe
with the conservatives; compromise with
the Democrats admit that we have been
wrong The country is not ready TO endorse
Impartial Suffrage, and therefore we must
betray it. We must now admit that the
great Republican party is badly beaten, weak
and contemplate.
Yes, we have lost great battle, but we
htve not lost our honor. We are still that
Republican party which conducted the war
for the Union, and crushed the great rebel
lion We are the party that gave freedom
to the slave, and redeemed the fame of
America. We have not yet disavowed our
principles, and abandoned our purpose. We
say then to the Conservatives, you may sur
render, but we will stand fast. The rats may
leave the ship, but our places are by the
guns. We nail the Radical flag to the mast,
and if that is to go down we will go down
with it.
Ii lne hepuDlcan party cannon stanu upon
Republican princles it had better fall. We
are prepared to abide the decision of the
| people, but do not accept the elections of
is67 as decree against Impartial Suffrage,
as we did not accept the elections OF sG2 as
a decree of Emancipation. The Republican
party then reformed its lines; itmade Eman-
cipation the issue, and it swept the North.
We must repeat that superb courage in 1867,
and we shall repeat the victory in 1868.
Henceforth we hold every manwhose coward
ly voice demands the sacifice of one jot Of
principle, ,as no republican. He is our enemy
We are done with the conservative Republi-
cans; they are Democrats, and worse than
Democrats, for the Copperheads honestly
and bravcly oppose our principles, but the
Conservative betrays them.
Six months hence Radicalism will be su
J preme, and irresistible. Defeat will give i
strength, and the flight of the towards will
give Il unity. Six months hence, II Con.
! gress will do its duty, Andrew johnson will
not be the President of the United States

THE ELECTIONS.

NEW YoRK--TIE DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET
10000 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS CLOSE =
REPUBLICAN, CONGRESSMAN.
The Republicans carry New York outside
of the city, by about 10000 majority but the
slums of Sodom, with gin, lager bier, swim
dlers, peculators, and scoundrels of every
description, give ore, sirty thousand ma
jority in New York city for the Democratic
State ticket.
In the Oneida Congressional district, where
there was vacancy, caused by the election
of Roscoe Coukling TO the Senate, Alexander
II. Bailey, Republican, Is elected by large
majority over his Democratic opponent.
MISSOURI.
In Missouri, to supply the vacancy caused
by the decease of Congressman Noel, Dem. J
James e. Mccormick, (Deni) is elected,
making no change.
THE REPUBLICAN VICTORY IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Precisely contrary to the reports sent us
by telegraph, the result of the election in
West Virginia is a decided Republican gain.
OF the class of II Senators just elected ten
are Republicans and one is Conservative; of
the class holding over from last year ten, are
Republicans and one Conservative so that
the Senate now stands treaty Republican
and tiU3 Conservative.
The House of Delegates will stand about
as it did last year, that is to say, 4G Republic
can and 10 Conservative.
There being no State officers to elect, the
vote was small one. The Republican ma
iorities in some counties were reduced be-
low what they were last year, while in Others
they were increased.
THE GEORGIA ELECTION.
The proportion of white votes polled in
Georgia in favor Of Congressional Recon
struction, is very large. In the Southern
counties, the poorer classes of white voters
who are ardently in favor of the rehabilita
ton of the States, are not numerous and
were intimidated by the wealthy disloyalists
The main weapons of the anti-reconstruc
ZIONIST papers are abuse and threats o
social ostracsm. Of epithets there is nj
stint; the Union men are scallawags, traitors
| Yankee emissaries, hellions, stinkers, &c.
&C., or quoting Bertholl, n scum OF he'll.
Such men as Judge Warner, Chief Justic
of the State, all the Judges of the Suprem
Court, Judges Erskine, Miner, Underwood
Irwin, and others of the Supreme Court
Hon. b. Yancey, ev-Gov. Brown, and hun
| dreds of others, highest and best men of tn
State, are firm uncompromsing reconstruc
tionists.
METHODIST LAY DELEGATION.
A large meeting of Mcthodists was held i
the Bedford st. Church, N. Y, Thursday ever
ing to secure lay delegation in the Confel
ence of the NJ. E. Church, Favorable al
dresses were made by Bishops Simpson an
Kingsley and by Rev. DIR. Eddy of Chicag'
EFFECTS OF THE LATE ELEoTIoNs.
On the receipt of the news of the election
on Tuesday, the rebel flag was flung to IL

Pull Away.

Row your boat lightly over the stream,
Time passeth swiftly, life's like dream
All its bright hours pass flcetly away,
Then pull at your oars, pull away, pull away.
Heed not, though tempcsts often arise
And sweep in their fury over the skies;
The storm and the tempest We cannot control,
50 let not their shadow rest on your soul.
The storm and the tempest will soon pass away,
Then pull at your oars, pull away, pull away.
Let your life be made up of joy Or of tears,
They must all pass away with few 1eeting years,
Though the tide be against you, End the breezes
that blow,
Pull away manfully, row the boat, row.
The light and the shadows will fit on the way,
Still row your boat lightly, pull away, pull away.
Heed not the joys that have passed. but those
that may bloom,
See the pathway to glory and not to the tomb;
See the white robes celestial, but sec not the
shroud,
View the bright sunshine and not the dark cloud
If the tide be against you and the breezes thai
blow,
Still pull AWAY manfully row the boat, row.
Then row the boat lightly over the stream,
Time passeth swiftly, lifc's like dream;
Its joys and Its sorrows alike pass away,
So for bright shores eternal pull away, pull away

Delaware tribune. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1867-1877, 1867-11-14


Letters from the South, and the southern
press, give evidence of the fact that negroes
are fully alive to the importance of politics
as power to elevate their race and to Sc
cure the rights which the war created and
beaueathed to them. A negro Judge
presides ina court in New Orleans. Negro
congressman will sit in the next Congress
Negro Supremacy,-if the white South
blndly forces an issue of raee,-is already
established in several of the rebel States.
These facts are told with forebodings by the
leaders of the conquered South, and are
chronicled with Civilizations by the more en-
thusiastic of the republican spokesmen.
We join neither in the gloom nor the joy
of these rival spectators. What we desire
and hope to sec is the speedy eradication Of
all issues in which color forms an element
of strife. The sooner that all the States i'm
itate the action of Massachusetts in striking
the words white and colored out of their
laws and constitutions, and follow up the
step by ignoring race both in their platforms
and their nominations, the better 1t will be
for the nation and for both of the peoples
who now inhabit the South. 1t will only
result in disaster to organize the blacks
against the whites or the whites against
the blacks, or TO allow questions of color to
dictate the candidates of any political party.
We fear that the North is not sufficiently
alive to the Importance of those views
views in which every thoughtful loyalist il
the South is confirmed by facts of his daily
observation. 1t is only superficial glance
at southern society which can justify con
gratulations at the numerical preponderanct
of negro voters. 1t is idle to say that ii en-
sures republican success as q political or
ganization, and that republican success is
guarantee of the permanent establishment o
liberal principles. The republican party i
a party of progress; and can have no sur
allies for any length of time excepting anon
educated persons.
If we teach the people whom we freed
we may rely on them with confidence bu
if we neglect this duty, or perform it unwist
ly, we may depend upon it that when ne'
issues arise, the negroes will be found in th
democratic party-only marshalled undo
another and equally deceptive name. Il
norance and democracy are twin cherries o
one stem; and only accidents kept thel
asunder The accident of liberation has gi'
en- us for time the vote of the uneducate
masses of the South and with their suppo
they bring to us duties which, if we hearth
and promptly accept, will ensure us the
, fealty for generation TO come.
, We must hasten, while we have the pov
/ or. to plant schoolhouse wherever demo
( racy has established grocery, and new
/ paper under the shadow of every form
: slave mart. We must send more teacher
o more speakers, and more editors, TO II
South.

We thank Chief-Justice Gilpin and his
associate Judge Wootten for declaring that
the Civil Rights act of Congress is nullity
in Delaware, and that colored people can
give testimony in that State only ON suilerance
and under peculiar circumstances. Their
party organs say, when pressed, that the
Democrats are willing that Blacks shall en-
joy Civil Rights, but not political. Chief
Justice Gilpin betrays the falsehood of this
defense. Were the Republican party dis
banded to-day, the restoration of Chattel
Slavery would be formidably pressed to-
morrow "Thc spirit is willing" to-day.

The Baltimore american, Monday, publishes the
following special telegram from Washington:-
"Leating officeholders of President johnson
are constantly evincing their dread of Grant.
They lose no opportunity of putting forth inu-
endoes, and even fiat assertions intended to throw
doubt upon his position as an earnest supporter
of Congress and its plan of Reconstruction. Mont
gomery Blair is the most prominent of those who
are laboring to misrepresent his position, and he
is probably the most shrewd and inscriptions of
those who are now working to restore the DEM
ocratic party to full power. That there Should be
any doubts entertained upon the subject, is mat
ter Of the greatest surprise. He makes no secret
of the fact that he is an earnest Republican, and
his friends would as soon doubt the devotion of
Judge Chase, Speaker Coltax, or Senators Wilson
and Wade to all the leading principles of the par
ty. Congress will meet in ten days, and within
three days after its assemblage there will be no
room left for any one to doubt the position of
General Grant His testimony given six NJ 1nths
ago before the Judiciary Committee of the House
OF Representatives will then be published 1t will
forever silent all cav or suspicion on this subject.
1t is voluntary statement, and was not drawn
out by any cunningly devised questioning on the
part of the members of the committee. 1t is n
statement made long before tkere was any serious
talk of bringing him out as candidate for the
Presidency Every Republican member Of the
Judiciary Committee endorses him, and the whole
Republican party OF the country will enroll him
as among those entitled to full membership. The
publication of this testimony will have more
weight than any declarations that might be now
make by Gen. Grant in reply to the suspicious
and inuendoes thrown outby Montgomery Blair,
and he can afford to wait ten days longer"
