Great News for the Democracy

The Dayton Ledger has the follow
ing important information:
"The negroes in Georgia are de-
serting the carpet-baggers by scores
at a time. AT Macon hundreds Of
negro men Joined a Democratic pro-
cession. Many of them publicly
expressed themselves as heartily
ashamed Of their former associates
in politics, especially of Joe Brown" "
Now, its all right. The "nigcers"
are going to associate in politics
with the "white Democracy" hun
dreds have already "joiued in a
Democratic processionl" The "smell"
is all right now. The daughters of
Democrats are now at liberty to
marry the new "associates" Of their
fathers. No "uhite government" is
wanted, if the "ncgro men" will only
"join in with the Democracy Any
thing will be "white" enough, that
restores Democratic politicians to
their former hold on the spoils. We
may soon expect to see the Advertisc'
aud other "white government jour
nails referring to Democrats of AZ
rican decent" without the former
emphasis on the last syllable.

As we understand the public mind
says the Pittsburg Commercial, thou
sands of moderate Democrat are set
tling down in the conviction that it
will never do to elect Seymour and
Blair, and that the election of Grant
ard Colfax is demanded by every
consideration Of patrio tism aud inter
est, The moderate views, personal
character, aud tried capacity of Grant
give them great confidence that peace
and stability will result from his e.
lection, while turmoil, and perhaps
war and bloodshed, would necessa-
rily result from the restoration Of the
rebels in the election Of Seymour aud
Blair. If can understand any
thing from what we see and hear, at

the people without any party dis

TAKE GROUND AT ONCE FOR THE
RIGHT.

An Appeal 10 the Republican,
Young Men and Voters of Seneca
County:
We have now entered upon a
political canvass, the result of which
will be as anxiously awaited as, in
former days, was the news of the
fall of Richmond. When the cap
itol of the Confederocy fell, it
meant to every lover of his country
the downfall Of the Rebellion itself.
1t meant the Union preserved, and
peace, once more, in our country.
You were all thankful then for
the achievements Of our citizen SOL
diers, and when they returned from
the field, you hailed them as "Pre-
servers of the nation" And it was
true. What would have become of
that proud phrase "United States
of America" had discontented poll
ticians and malevolent rebels South
been permitted to cut this broad
Union of States into selfish bicker-
ing governments to harrass each
other like hungry wolves? With
Reconstruction so nearly achieved,
and the fruits of the war so nearly
reaped, with peace and security,
justice and right ready to reign in
all our borders, we appeal to the
true-hearted voters Of Seneca Coun
ty, and to the young men especial
ly, who yet have destiny to fulfi',
VOTE RIGHT, IN THE START
Have we not had war enough ?
Do we want more soldiers graves
in the landt
Have we not widows and orphans

They recommend reputation Of
our national debt. The Grant Re.
publican platform proclaims that
the Public Faith pledged to the ma,
eion's creditors must be sacredly
maintained, adding-in words that
should be inscribed in letters Of golc
over every mantel:
"THAT THE BEST POLICY

OUR CREDIT THAT CAPITAL

MONEY AT LOWER RATES OF

Who does not say Amen t.

is just? Whoever does will vOt,
