ASSO 1865 succeeded in accomplishing his pur- pose. much to the disgust, no doubt, of such patriotic vindicators of the ';truth of historty' as Mr. Robert Ould.
 ''Yours, very truly,

 Commissioner for Exchange of Prisoners.

 NIGGER WORSHIPPERS-
 ON THE BRAIN-NIGGER SUPREM-
 ACY, Sc.
 These and similar utterances, MT. Edi- tor, constitute large share of the politi- cal capital of the Democratic party. A Senator from Litch6eld County, in the present General Assembly, remarked that the Republican party would die of & Mig ger on the brain." The same Senator is reported, in the proceedings of said As- sembly, to have said, that the Law enacted to preserve the purity of the ballot-box was atrociows. Another distinguished de- mocrat remarked that we should certainly be compelled to submit to the rule of Mig ger Governors, Nigger Congress, and even to Nigger Presidents, Sc.
 Now, without stopping, at present, to vindicate the healthy condition of the Re- s>--h1;-' rerty, to prove tho righteous ness of the law referred to, or to relieve the extreme apprehensions of the democrats on the subject of Negro supremacy, only so far as to say in relation to the latter sub- lect, that if the four millions of the color ed race are so much superior in intelli- gence and tact, as to be able to control all these high places in the face of the thirty millions of the white race, then certainly they ought to rule; for we are entitled, surely, to have the ablest portion of the community to guide our councils. The democracy must indeed have yely poor opinion of their white brethren, claiming as they do So large 8 majority of them; and yet standing in awe of the colored race; yet, looking into such places as gave our excellent Governor his majority, their fears should not be considered altogether groundless. Irepeat, however, that, wa ving for the present an examination of those points that trouble the Democracy so much, I only wish to give an extract from the remarks of colored man made within the past month, to show that the race to which he belongs is by no means so l stupid as it is represented to be by the all- intelligent Democracy; and also to assure the aforesaid Senator, that if he should ey- CT encounter this black man in debate. his statesmanship would have to be far in ad- vance of anything exhibited by him in the Senate of 1868, to enable him to cope suc cessfully with the Negro. But to the ex- tract:-
 "As stood the sturdy old Hollanders three centuries ago, so we stand to-day. Times change and new issues arise; men appear and disappear; but eyermore the same old principles of good and evil, right and wrong, liberty and slavery, summon I their respective votaries to the contest. The slave-holding rebels, struck down by General Grant as by thudderbolt, scarce ly recover from the terrific shock before they stagger off to the Democratic party. There they go-stricken generals of the rebel army-Henry A. Wise and Wade Hampton, Toombs and Cobb, Forrest and Beauregard. The evil spirits cast out of the man anlong the tombs take refuge in the herd of swine. We shall see with what consequences to the poor animals in Mo- Vember, and to themselves.
 "The policy, but not the purpose of the rebels IS changed. Names are nothing. It matter, but little to them by what name the thing for which they strive is called and equally indifferent are they as to the means which they employ. Success is the main "Bat let us not be deceived nor divert ed from the real work we have in hand, Tho contest to which all good and true men are summoned in the present canvass IS no new one. It is, in fact, but 9 contin- uat!on of tho mighty struggle of great natlon to shake off an old and worn ont system of barbarism. with all it's natural con comitants of evil. It is part of our thirty years effort to place the country in harmony with the age, and to make her what she ought to be-a leader, and not q mere follower, in the pathway of ciyiliza- tlon. Rebellion has been subdued. slave. ry abolished, and peace proclaimed: and yet our work Is not done. The Democrat lc party has changed the whole face of af. iairSs !ne 1oe IS the same, though we are to meet him on different field and under different leaders.

We are face to face with the same old enemy of liberty and progress that has planted ago. ny at million hearth-stones in our land. There has been no change in the character or in the general purpose of the Demo cratic party. It is for peace or for war, or against either, precisely as it can be made to serve the great privileged class at the South, to which it belongs"
