rpHE yRmUNE FOR lsas-- PROSPECTUS.

The year 1885 viii long be remembered for It's
settlement Of the boundary question between
Aristocraey Of Color and Impartial Human Lib
erty. The War Of the Rebellion being closed, we
have now 60 decide whether he fundamental idea
which impelied aud justified the Rebellion skall
dominate over our whole country, m1dng her in
stitutieus and shaping her destiny. II it be
true that God has SOr created ali men, but only
all White men, iH His own image' AMI made them
equal il political and civil rights, then it is aworId-
wide calamity that Grant did not surrender %
Lee at AppOmattox and he Lost Cause, trod-
den into mire under the hoois q sheridan rough

Black, should be excluded from the jury-b0x and
repeled from the ballol-box, then Stonewall Jack

It s difficult to argue with blind, besotted
prejudice, grounded in ignorance and fortified by
seli-coneeit. Devoid of reason, il is hardly amen
able 90 reason. but millions who would listen
anmovea to appeals based upon Justice and Ilu-
manity can be stirred by facts which effect their
own interest ami safety The naked truth thnt

Blacks. Their votes are necessary TO the Ire

lection and security Reconstruct the South on
the White basic, and every one OF the fifteen
States which held Slaves ia 1860 will be intensely
Overwhelmingly t0pperheud tbenceforth and ey-

ignorant and degraded, and those whom you there
by clothe with power win take good care that the
plea shall be as valid and well-grsupded a century
hence il now is. Public Education and Civil

THE TgIBuSE has decIinedto be lured or turned
aside from the Main Question. n has presis-
tenty refused 20 swell the eiam0r for Vengeance
the defeated Rebels. whether by execution or
by=coBfscaron and one Of SIS strong reasons for
this course IS a conviction that no drop Of Rebel
blood could be coolly, deliberately shed without
essentially cloading the prospect Of securing the
Righ Of Suffrage 20 the Blacks Defyipg the
madness Of passion and the blindness of short
sighted miseouception, it has demanded Recon
struction on the basis Of Universal Amnesty with
impartial Suffrage m perfect consciousness Of
the fact that it thereby aleuated thousands who
bad been its zealous supporters and life long
patrons. The hour Of i,s complete yiDdieafion
cannot be far distant.
