Read This.

Our Republican friends, who, short
time ago, denied that they were in fayo:
of NEGRO Suffrage" but who are now its
especial champions, are respectfully In
yited to read the following:
will say, then, that I am not nor
never have been, in favor of bringing
about in ony way the social and political
equality of the white and black races;
that am not, nor never have been in
favor of making voters or Jurors of ne
groes, nor of qualifying them to hold Of
fee, or intermarrying with the white peo-
pie; and I will say in addition to this,
that there is physical difference between
the white and black races, which l be-
lieye, will forever forbid the two races
living together ON terms of social and
political equality. And inasmuch as they
cannot so live. while they do remain to-
gether, there must be the position of su-
perior and inferior and as much as any
other man am in favor of having the su-
perior position assigned to the white man.
Abraham Lincoln.
How wondrous are the changes of this
Republican party. They have denied
"Negro Suffrage time and again, now
they spunk up like rats, swear sit is just
the thing Can the better portion Of
the Republican party be longer hood
winked and deceived?

Progress OF the west.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
Zette writes:

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette writes:
Seveuty-three years ago the first boat
started from Cincinnati up the Ohio. It
was bullet proof, equipped with two can
non and small arms. The round trip was
made to Pittsburgh in about four weeks.
At that time the Queen City was mere
military post, which three years after
wards only contained about five hundred
inhabitants. Pittsburgh was a little nest
of unclean birds, built away up in the
forks of this great highway of nature,
and between these two points wilderness
stretched on either side of the river
whose wild grandeur was only empha-
sized by the two or three dots which had
been made by the forerunners of COM
ing civilization. Seventy three years ago
and Fort Washington, with a population of
two or three hundred is Cincinnati with
a population 100000; Pittsburg is no
longer nest. but tits great city whose
breath of smoke and thousand tongues of
flame heat the very atmosphere which
surrounds it; she two or three dots of civ
illization between those two points have
multiplied into hundred and ten thriv-
ing cities and villages, and palpitating
with the industry of free and prosper
GUS people. The steamers that now ply
the river, could they be all brought
together, would make floating city in
which hundred thousand people could
dwell with comfort.

Horrible.

A tale Of the Orissa famine, as told in
an elaborate official report of the Govern
ment of India, is heart-rending. The
horrors it reveals are of an almost in
credible character. When it is stated
that the mortality represented a sacrifice
of about 100000 souls. some idea may
be formed of the magnitude of this awful
calamity. People die helplessly in
swarms; money was spurned as worth
less; employment was offered on Govern
ment roads in vain, since the living skel-
etons for whose relief it was provided
was too weak to walk, and far more so to
work. Such was the distress Of the
starving masses that il was impossible to
keep any order in the famishing crowd
which struggled for their daily dole Of
rice, "and for miles around was heard
their yell for food" So impossible was
it to satisfy all that extreme emaciation
became the practical test, and those who
retained the least reserve of flesh OF
their bones were compelled to bear tbe
pangs of hunger a little longer. Yet the
English seemed to pay the least atten-
tion to this, and were much more con
cefned about our affairs.
