Those white men who are now thrown

be better than any l have yet tried, If
they are more profitable than our freed

regard to them, but we must have patience,
and learn first TO govern ourselves, or we
can never govern and instruct them to our
mutual benefit. Do not try to cheat or
deceive them; we must have the respect
and confidence Of those we try to govern,
or all our labor is lost. We can never
have their esteem and confidence. except
by honorable, generous, and strictly up
right dealings with them. Many planters
revenge the shortcomings of their help

It seems to be the general opinion

planters, that the freedman mist be lifted
up, elevated. aud improved, in order that
he may emerge from the savage to the civ
ilized state, which alone can give him that
selfrespect so necessary to hold him back
from vagrancy and theft. These astute
planters scout the idea Of importing for

as bootless, costly experiment. They
prefer to do their best to amend the ills

observed 10 those resolutions With the
mcmory OF oil our wrongs In tho past,
the coIored people still desire to

sentiments Of the human heart.
Those resolutions speak Of party. The

its heart the motto Of "Union, Liberty,

Col. David IIeaton, Of Craven, who had

sion. From that time onward il has gain

stands without peer as political organ

When the Government was threatened
with destruction, the whole influence Of
the party was thrown upon the side Of
the Union, and in favor of the old flag.
The record is made ur, and history will
tell the story for all time that the final
liberation Of four millions Of bondmen
was effected by the bold and persistent
efforts Of this party.

The Fruits.

The Comprehend victory ID Connecticut
will have the effect to make fools of the lea
der5 Of that party just as their temporary
success in 1862 did. The Sons Of Liberty,
Knights of the Golden Circle and other
scoundrels of that ilk, who have been
recently kept in the background through
prudential reasons, will now emerge from
their obscurity and claim the leadership Of
the Copperhead party to which they are
naturally entitled. Tho poor old simple
ton at the White House il so elated that
he has set his obsequious Attorney Gener-
al to preparing an apology for reinstating
the butcher Monroe as Mayor of New
Orleans, and removing General Sheridan
from the command of the Southwestern

Lloht Brsakina In Fort Wayne.

The Copperhead Bourbons of Fort
Wayne are fast losing the political power
they have so long and shamefully abused.
At the April election in 1866, the Copper
head candidate for Trustee received ma
jority of 707, which was less than the usu-
al majority Of the party in that precinct.
On last Monday tho Copperhead major
ity was but 1919, showing loss to
that faction Of 575 since the election of
1866. A few more such blows will give
the people of Allen county an honest To-
cal government, when they can reduce
their home taxation to the figures paid by
the more fortunate inhabitants of Marion
county.

Why Southern LoysIists Ally Themselves
With the Republican Party,

By reference to the resolutions passed
by the convention of loyal men held at
Raleigh, North Carolina, which resoiu.
tons are given in another column Of this
weeks paper. it will DO seen that the Union
men Of that State have formally allied
themselves with the great Republican par
ty. This proceeding was natural. They
could have allied themselves with no other
without denying their faith, and to have
attempted the formation of new party
would have foolishly endangered their
success. The Republican party is. the
party which saved tho Union, justified
by works the professions Of our national
political crcod, and set the feet Of the ma
ton on tho rock of universal freedom.
Patriotism must accomplish its ends by
organizations, so long as there are men in
the land and organizations indifferent or
hostile to these ends. AS one of the speak.
ers felicitiously expressed the idea;
Withou, party ell our efforts will be
wasted. There cnn be no display of prac-
teal patriotism until we form q party
of true men, and exert ourselves for the
cause Of ''Uuion, Liberty aud Equality
Systematically ~
Why this convention Of men, filed with
patriotic aspirations, Endorsed the Repub.
lican party, is further shown By the words
Of its orators. Mr. Settle, Chairman Of
tho Committee On Resolutions, said:
They spoke for themselves. nc refer
red, however, especially to that one which
seemed to touch tho h0art OF every dele
gale-thc resolution in relation 10 the
Republican party. where we pledge our
eel yes to the maintenance OF Its princi-
pies. That resolution, sir, meets M
heartfelt appreciation, and ] only hope
that hereafter We shall forever keep even
step with the great party which saved and
perpetuated the Union and the Coustitu-
tior.
Air Dick commenting on the resolutions
said
We have further determined TO unfurl
the Brilliant banner OF the Republican
party. We shall then be in Iraterupl con-
cord with the Northern people, aud Union,
Liberty, Equality become cardinal prin-
ciplcs Tor all ages.

Lawrence Hart, OF Warsaw, Indiana,

About six weeks ago, Lawrence Hart

long search, the mangled body Of the child

others testified that, from tho very first,
Harris treatment Of tie child was brutal
aud cruel in The extreme; that he whipped
and beat il without mercy almost, il not
quite, every day, and that on one occasion
he spent nearly whole day in torturing
il in every way the most hellish wanton-
ness would suggest, first whipping il with
a leather strap, then with strip Of board,
until il was not able to walk, and then
put il down in the cellar, where il laid
down in the damp and chilly air aud went
to sleep. Then he took the poor child
from the cellar and plunged its head into
cold water, and compelled il to remain out
Of doors until its feet were frozen. He
then took il into the house. hung it up by
the stairway by means of strap passed
around the body, and held Goals Of fire on

it in this manner for a while, he took il
down and made il walk the floor back.

was so exhausted that it fell asleep at the
table while they were eating breakfast

on the back part Of its head.
