"Guarantecs."

The Republican leaders say that
they demand Of the South "guaran-
tees" for the future.
The South, defeated in the civil war,
has thrown down her arms.
She has abandoned secession. ,
She has abolished slavery.
She takes the oath to support the
Constitution.
She agrees to stand by tho United
States debt in good faith, and pay her
full share of it.
Sho ropudiatcs tho Confederate
debt and all debts contracted by her
in aid of the civil war.
She agrees to stand by the Union.
Can any honorable man ask moro of
her than this :?
But sho don't allow her negroes to
vote. Nor does Connecticut. Nor
do twenty other States North and
Wcst.
She treats the negroes badly. In
what respect? She has made them
free. They may so and come rs white
men 60 and come and they arc urged
TO work, with good wages offered to
them. Many of them refuse to work,
and lie idlo and dissolutc, burden
upon society.
The stories about tho bad treat
ment of tho blacks at tho South arc
false-thcy arc told by malicious por-
sons who desire to mako trouble.

writes the following "a practice Of

that any many who will wilfully and
deliberately lie, for tho purpose of
bnnclitina himsclfor iniuring another,
will as readily swear to that lie.
Oatls have been so chcapcncd, by
being so universally yand nmncccssari-

have no sanctity at all. We should
just as soon take mans testimony
without his oath as with it. We have

direct and deliberate perjury. As to
tho moral guilt, tho man who at
tcmpts to iniurc anotoor by lie, is
