them aid, making promises az as not abie
20 make good. and sustaining the leaders
in their hopes of amnesty We have
very little faith in the honesty of the
avowed sympathy of the Northern wing.
The true motive lies deeper. The Dem
ocratic party is dead forever, if the pres
ent opportunity to form a junction of
both wings is not now effected. and to
do this the late leaders of the South
Democrats every one-must be invested
with political privileges and return to
Congress. This is their only salvation.
They have no hope if this is not accom-
plised before the next Presidential cleo
ton and the frantic exertions they are
making to secure their object, does not
half expose, but only indicates, the deep
solicitude they feel upon the subject. 1t
is selishness through and through. The
party say the conditions proposed are
humiliating. We have produced the
evidence of one of their ablest statesmen
in the negative. Even admitting this,
what is the conduct of the only men pro-
scribed? Before this address even
touched press, Ex-Vice-President
Stephens, with host of Southern Gov
ernors, Get. prostrated themselves be-
fore his excellency President Johnson,
and accepted the only conditions that
could be construed as prejudicial to the
interests of the Southern people, if the
article debarring only 22,745 arch rebels
out of a population of a dozen
millions, could be evaded. Talk of these
men coming back to Congress. all unre-
pentant and Judas-like as their conduct
proves them still to be. Their eagerness
has betrayed their hypocrisy, Their in
decent haste exposed the wolf beneath
the lamb-skin, when they again betray-
ed the people they represent, by offering
them sacrifice upon the altar of their
unholy ambition.

WHO shall decide, when doctors dis
agreeg" The Democracy are in some
what of dilemma just now to know
which is the strong side on the negro
suffrage question. And a comparison of
the views of different leading Democratic
papers would we'll suggest a hesitancy
on the part of the wary editor of the
Democrat in taking any decided grounds
on the matter The Gazette, however,
with accustomed rashness, pitches head
long against it. We give our Demo
cratic friends few extracts, to show
which horn the several organs have
chosen: ...
This mongrel bastard Republican party,
which has sprung up like a ghoul in the night,
and which has attained such rank growth, will
perish as quickly as il rose. Founded upon
imposture, upon error and deceit, upon fanat-
lcal prejudice and shortsightedness, and sus-
tanned by acts of atrocious crime, it contains
within itself the seeds of an early dissolution.
It is not for the Democracy TO contract its
disease and share its mistake In order TO live.
Its principles are to be Stunned as a warning,
and not adopted example. The Democ-
racy will not adopt the miserable heresy of
and white government, but it will ever main
tain that this is white mans country, 1t
should be ruled by white men pure and exclu-
sive. 1t wants no mongrel breed like those in
Mexico and South America, to SIT In its coun-
ellis and shape its policy. Against this doc
trine il is committed by allits past, by all the
force of history, by all the precepts of philos-
opny and the lessons of xperience.-[Cincin-
natl Enquirer
We make this announcement in order that
the heathens of the u. l.. A.-those worship
pers of Sambo-may be present in order TO
their conversion to the evangelical truths of
political orthodoxy. They have set up an
ebony calf for their idol, and, like Moses on
his return from Sinai bearing the tablets of
stone engraved by the finger of God, their Con-
gress, in the frenzy of madness have broken TO
atoms the 'fsacred law" of the constitution.
Fanaticism rules the hour
and if the Radicals have their way this is no
longer n white mans government, but a mon
grel negro oligarchy.-[ Rocky Mountain Ga

The Democratic party has never taken the
absurd position that men should be denied po-
litical privileges On account of race or color.
It has asserted, and does now assert, that the
negroes as a class more ignorant than any
other class, and therefore should not be uni
versally enfranchised. If intelligence be made
n qualification for voting, this objection to
the enfranchisement of the blacks will be re-
moved as TO those who are qualified. III the
States most interested in the question think
they can safely trust the blacks with the bal
lot without such qualification, Is it for the
Democratic party TO interpose against Its-

ceiving the attention of the Government.
The principal naval station of the Uni
ted States is likely to be established at
League Island. near Philadelphia. The
Government has long had desirous eye
fixed upon the Island of Cuba as a most
important naval and military station,
and negotiations were commenced du-
ring the Buchanan administration for
its purchase, but were unsuccessful
Recently, however, it has purchased a
portion of the Island of of San Domingo,
consisting of the peninsula of Sumana
on the northeast of the. island, thirty
miles long and eleven wide in the broad
est place. 1t has a population of two
thousand, fertile soil, extensive forests
of ship timber, mines of copper, gold and
bituminous coal, one of the finest har-
bors in the world in Sumana bay on the
south, and a town on the north with
good natural facilities for careening yes
sells. Some months since Turkey agreed
to sell us an island in the Grecian Archi-
pelago, but the Turkish allies induced
the Porte To revoke the decision, on the
grounds that it was unsafe to give the
United States a foothold in the Mediter-
ranean. This jealousy has prevented
our Government from securing stations
in the South Pacific and Mediterranean,
but the exigencies of our service require
them, and they will ere long be secured,
either by negotiation or force, as the
selfish despots who own them may Sc
lect. 1t is reported that the mission of
T. w. Seward has been successful, and
that the Island of Saint Thomas will be
soon added to the possessions of the Uni
ted States. Cuba, Mexico and Canada
are destined to be added to the States of
the Great Republic; and as the sceptres
glide from the hands of kings and des-
pots. the genius of America will gather
them up, and binding them into the
fasces of universal liberty, carry it be-
fore the progressive march of freedom as
the authority of right and manhood to
have dominion over all the earth"

TO THE People or MONTANA.

Mr. Ben. r. Dittes, the "enterprising"
member of our firm, is about to start on
grand tour which will embrace every
section of Montana The purpose of
this trip is to receive subscriptions and
advertisements for the MONTANA Posi-,
and we deem it pertinent 20 say few
words in regard to the paper. 1t is de-
voted to the interests of this Territory
and its people, endeavoring to give to the
world fair and honest record of the
to the other a first-class, live neIos paper.
Its politics are, and always have been,
Internationally Union. Independent of
all cliques or factions, and speaking
ures of public interest. Our telegraphic
columns contain the full dispatches of
the Associated Press of California. The
Posi- is the only paper in Montana that
has sufficient confidence in the support
of the people to supply them with intel
ligence from all quarters of the globe as
early as it appears in the New York OF
Washington papers. When it is consid-
cred that the rates of ten-word kilograms
to New York are fully dollar per word,
and that we furnish to our readers on
an average ODer .tiUe thousand 1o0rdS per
week, some conception may be formed of
the enterprise it requires to cater to the
desires for "the latest news" in every
mining camp we have correspondents,
reliable and intelligent men, who
contribute to the PosT all information
of public Importance. In addition, we
have employed talented travelling cor
respondents, who contribute for no other
journal, and whose travelings in the
East and West are jotted down for the
readers of the Posi-. The news sum-
mary contains the latest intelligence
from the neighboring States and Terri
tories, presenting the most information
in the least possible space. The literary
columns are filled with the choicest NOR
cenus culled from large and excellent
list of exchanges, and the locals contain
the current events of Helena and Vir-
ginia, prepared expressly for family use.
The market reports are corrected weekly
by the leading firms of the two cities,
and form reliable guide for merchants
and consumers throughout the Territory
as well as the freighters and merchants
of the East. Its extensive circulation,
rapidly increasing, renders it the best
advertising medium in the country, and
in time to come, as in the past, it shall
be our aim and earnest endeavor to make
it the best and cheapest paper in the Ter
ritory, and no expense or exertion will
be spared to accomplish this object. We
commend the junior member to the
kindness of our friends, confident that
he will find ready hands and a hearty
welcome in every portion of Montana.

ACQUISITION.

1t is the boast of Englishmen that on
British territory the sun never sets. and
her drum beat echoes round the world.
1t is not the love of conquest or acquisi-
ton alone, that has made the assertion a
truism, and however gratifying it may
be to them that their dependencies are
dotting every ocean and encircling the
globe, they are the results of necessity
to maintain their supremacy on the
ocean, and make good their exultant
the seas. Laboring under the disadyant-
ages of hampered island kingdom, and
the contiguity of powerful and warlike
enemy, ever watching for an unguarded
moment to deal fatal blow to those
who fiaunted the cross of st. George in
sight of the golden lilies. England s
safety lay in the wooden wall that was
reared around her sea-girt limits. A
bold and adventurous people, a crowded
kingdom, and masters on the deep, her
commerce increased with amazing rapid
ity, until every sea was whitened with
her canvass and every port swarmed
with British tars. Experience taught
them that naval stations were a neces-
sity, and one after another acquisitions
were made by barter, conquest or pur-
chase. until a rendezvous or a friendly
harbor in case of distress. was estab-
lished here and there at convenient dis
tances over the world. The American
people springing from the same stock,
inheriting their bold Rdventurousness,
heightened by the success of those who
had braved the storms of ocean and es-
tablished colonies npon an inhospitable
with an extensive sea coast and noble
rivers, and a country teeming with ma
terial for the construction of vessels,
early turned their attention To maratime
affairs and sent forth their white winged
messengers from the New World to the
Old. In less than a century from the
time the stars and stripes were foated
on the waters, we have coped success

Lords were adjusting their cravats. The
rapid development of our country; our
