The Republican leaders say that the,
demand of the south guarantees for tn
future"
The south, defeated in the civil war, ha
thrown down her arms.
She has abandoned secession.
She has abolished siayexy.
She takes the cath to support the Con,
stitution.
She agrees to stand by the United State:
debt in good faith, and to pay her full
share of it.
She repudiates the Confederate debt
and all debts contracted by her in aid oil
the civil war.
She agrees to stand by the Union.
Can any honorable man ask more of her?
But she don't allow her negroes to vote.
Nor does Connecticut. Nor do twenty
othsr States north and west.
''She treats the negroes badly In
what respect? She has made them free.
They may go and come as white men 90

with good wages offered to them. Many

by malicious peosons, who desire to make

during the late severe snow storm-and in
Hartford county, too-than they were
ever treated in the south.
The southern people, stripped of their
property, except the soil on which they
reside, are doing all they possibly can for
themselves and the freed negroes. They
urge the negroes to work-they spare no
effort to get the land under cultivation, and
to a considerable degree they are succeeds
