slavery, he perpetuates the State of warfare
between that nation and himself. Sh.uld i
be said that in suca case, there may be peace
and kind of compact by which the conque-
ror consents 10 spare the lives of the van
qushed on condition that they acknowledge
themselves his slaves: he who makes such an
assertion is ignorant that war gives no right
to take away the life of an enemy who has
laid down his arms and submitted. But let
US not dispute the point: let the man who
holds such principles of jurisprudence keep
them for his own use and benefit; he vel!
deserves to be subject to such a law. But
men of spirit to whom life is nothing-less
than nothing, unless sweetened with liberty,
will always conceive themselves at war with
that oppressor, though actual hostilites are
suspended on their part, through want Of
ability"
My friends, thi; was written by man who
lived in despotic times, bya man who was
taught under despotic government; and
how his love Of liberty and law shames the
praters about loyalty in free America
But I will dwell no more on this subject.
Confscation is che law of enemies in war,
and in peace it is the law of the robber. II
they have the will to rob you, you will never
escape by submitting TO their power. If you
submit, give up :hc law and substitute the
will Of the robber; be boldly avows that is
his purpose not give the black man his rights,
but to bring about such measures and so tc
shape things as to perpetuate the rule Of the
Radical party! Every man who joins the
party and can satisfy them that he will sin
cerely help in Ibis work, will be accepted.
They will put their arms around your necks
and call you brothers. [Applausc.l You
can make friend of the devil upon these
same terms, laughter and applause, and
there is but little difference between them.
[Great applause If you please the one you
will go to the other, and [ am not sure but
you will get whist you desci We, but / object to
your taking the country with you. Immense
apIl use.
But, Oh it it sad to see the Constitution
tramp pIed upon and the country destroyed,
only to perpetuste their hellish dynasty; and
then to see some of our, own people join in
this rnholy work, calling upon us TO submit
AID become the agents Of our own dishonor
This is sad, sorrowful, and fills me with shane!

Czapska, after the condemnation Of her hns,

to solicit his pardon, but having been unsuc-

of detection, and returned to wilma, borne,

No BLACK MANS PARrY.-The New Yorl

No BLACK MAy's PARrY-The New York
Tribune, o. Friday, says:
Those men in the South VINO are working
to establish black mans party are the enc
mics Of this principle of equality, and if they
carry ont shelr plans, they will strike Repub-
licanism blow far heavier than the Demo-
cracy can deal. They will go far to undo the
grand reform Of which the war was the in
strument. In Virginia, it is feared that the
State Republican Convention, to be held Au.
gust l, will be the occasion of division in
the Republican ranks and the creation Of ri
val parties, black and white. In Missouri,
also there are adventurers who urge the col
ored men to demand representation on the
Presidential ticket, and in case it is refused,
to form y separate organization. We do
not believe these efforts will be sustained by
the colored men, for they surely know the
fatal resultr os such an uuprincipled policy.

Mrs. Medcalle, who was nearly hundred
years of age, and one Of the very first set

from visit to Neighbour took the wrong
road, which lead to the house Of NJ. Simms.
Approaching the house, probably with a
view to stos for the night, she being weary
of walking, this poor old lady was attacked
by pack Of savage dogs, and was bitten il
many places, and her flesh terribly torn by
the terrible animals. One arm was tern frcm
the body, and her breast and throat almost
eaten up Size expired soon afterwards. It
seemed there was no one at TIE house TO
keep the dogs OF. Mr.. Simms returned

MY Promise Broken.

Language nor pen can ever express
The shame that 1 feel in my soul;
And in the anguish Of sin seek to confess
That again Ive accepted the bowl,
Forgive me!
Temptation too strong before me was spread,
And weak nature succumbed to the fend;
glass of the liquid, 50 sparkling and red,
placed to my lips-and twas drained,
Forgive me.
I'll Try once again to wrench myself free
From the grasp of this demon SO strong;
III strive harder still 10 be worthy of thee,
And to do thy sweet trusting no wrong,
Believe mel
The pardon seek may never be mine,
(Aud most sadly the blow shal fcel)
Yet I'll conquer my thirst for the soul scorcain2
wine,
And nevermore at that shrine will knee,

practical demo- stration of the results of rad

what Helper now preaches-thc extermina-

be the negco's best friend The very fact
that the negroes are made to believe this,
