Peace-Give US Peace !
A noted remark of Tacilus was /:

- FaclunG BoHtndlneIn, appellant paceIn"
This is the Grant and Colfax Peace,
from the Potomac to the Rio Grande. The
finest portions of the Union, in climate, if
not in soil, and production, the J0cobin
Radicals have made a solitude of, and they
call it Peace The oldest States n the
Union, such as Virginia, North aud South
Carolina. and Georgia, have been subject
ed through Military Governments, to negro
Reconstruction, and they call it "Peace p
There is no Peace and tlere can be
no peace" among an Aoglo-Saxon, Celtic
or Teutonic People, where an inferior
race of Negroes is created to dominate over
the superior race,-where, as in the South
now, full 100000 white men are made
slaves of,-by taking from them the right
of suffrage, and creating $50, 700 ex-slave
negroes as their masters. There can be no
Peace, where the right of trial by Jury is
taken from White People,-where young
Cadets, Lieutenants and Captains, act as
Courts, etc., etc. All such Peace among
a People Of our blood, kith and kin, is the
merest mockery.
The "Tribune" and "Times" continue to
tell USE, Democrats, must submit to
all this, and more too, or be classified
among Rebels" Well.-if submission
to such State Constitutions as those Of Ala
bama and Arkansas, where not a New
York or New England Democrat could vote
if he emigrated there,-WbeTe no white
man can exercise the right of suffrage uD
less he will swear beforehand to make the
negro his equal FOREVER, at the Ballot Box,
in the Jury Box, etc.,-if this be rebel
lion, we are all rebe Is here, and hereabout,
and the rebellion is a far more respectable
one, than that of 1776, when England only
taxed US on tea, and stamps, and We rebel
led therefor.
The great error Of the Grant and Colfax
Party is, in supposing man, the American
MAN, to be so unnamed, as ever to be peace
| able under such Governments, or that q
country can ever prosper under them. In
! all the new acts of Reconstruetion,-in all
the State Constitutions, which the Rump
Congress through the negroes of the South
! and their carpet-bag oVerseers in the Freed
mems Bureau, lave been imposing upon
! ten or twelve millions Of People. there is
the element of disorder, rebellion, war. and
there can be nothing else. There can be
no peace where there is no safety. There
can be DO peace where negroes are made
masters and sovereigns over white men,
There can be no peace where the superior
s4ace are sl"ves. and the inferior race their
masters. There can be no peace where
millions upon millions have to be expend-
| ed every yeav for standing army which
under proper government, and under our
| old institutions, are now no mors~ necessa-
~ than they were from 1888 on to 1860,
when the Jacobins began to get into power.
''Peace" is good Government,-SELF-
| Government Government and
there can be no Peace among Americans
where such Governments are banished,
and Captain Governors and Lieutenant
Governors are substituted in their stead
Peace is the contented subjection of
| America to their own self-made Laws,
and there can be no peace where Foreign
Laws, made by other People. are enforced
upor the governed. Peace is an Ameri-
can institution, such as was created by
Washington, Franklin, and Madison not
an African institution, as has been made
| by Thad. Stevens, Charles Sumner, Ben.
Butler, and Schuyler Colfax, over which
Lieutenant General Grant, with some Co.
600 soldiers, presides in Washington
costing the country now full $3.50, 900, 900
per annum, and thus taxing the tea, the
coffee, the sugar, consumed BY every North
ern man, and forcing the Northern Laborer
TO give of his Ten hours per day, full two
of those hours to support this Grant and
Colfax 'Peaee. .'-NesO York Express.
