Editors Rutland Herald The coming
election is filling the country with enthu-
siastic speakers of all denominations or
ders and creeds.
We people Of Michigan are feeling a
very deep interest for the welfare of our
national integrity and honor, and there
are many here who are preparing for the
coming State election, so that by that we
may influence the whole people of the
country the same as the New Hampshire
election has Glorious old Granite State !,
Michigan will give heavier majority
than she has. undoubtedly, in faxar es
those principles which have been the
morning sun of liberty through the late
dark war. The feeble attempts of Demo-
crazy Of the country in TINS section,
amount to iendish bowls of rage and rail-
ings against the great Legislative body of
the American people. RUNS fury can
never conquer the cool, logical system
which the Republioa~ pA.ty have i.A~eu-
rated for the safety of the nation. An
drew Johnson, to-day, has but few cheers
from this section, except from some low
sections where the light of reason, moral
ity, religion and truth is seldom seen.
The probability of success under the
power that rules is very favorable for the
Republican party. When reconstruction
takes place in the South, business will be
better and the chances for white popu-
lation there will be far better than it ever
has been before, thus making it desir-
able place to live in. This nonsense about
the negroes coming into white mems
houses and enjoying the same couch and
eating at the same table and violating
white mems rights, either personal or pri-
vate, is absurd in the highest degree.
Negroes are no more than black men, if
they are allowed to vote, and tan never
assume or control the power of our legis-
lative halls If the South would come to
terms and be willing to reconstruct on
broad and liberal terms which haveu1Den
extended by Congress, more of the white
people of the North would help to keep
the negro in his place until the schools
and refinement make him a qualified citi-
zen. Now the black will have his rights
in his comparative infancy Congress re-
constructs, too, according to its own die
tates Of power and ability. White men
of the North will start business in the
South and all will be of good cheer to our
Ship Of State, because rebels will be kept
from the Congressional halls, and that,
too, by II t,oo-aiirds rote over Mr.. A. John
son. What think we now, we railing Dem
ocats Had you let the negro alone and
A. johnson and the Chicago platform and
the whisky question in New York, and
ceased to malign the name of our glorious
Gen. Grant, you would not now have to
chaw the negro alive as you do. Help
yourselves now, if you can. The Repub-
licans are in power and they intend to
stay there, too.
We will rally round the flag, boys,
M Well rally eHee af,airi,
Shouting the battle cry OF Freedom.
We will rally TO the call
OF our Legislative halls"
Shouting the battle cry Of Freedom.
Although we are not partial to til,
negro, yet the negro element South is fal
in advance as to the point Of concession t,
superior power, than the white element
there. The logged determination to re
sist all civil rights Of law and all equa
rights of men, seems to be great hobby
Of those disappointed rebels. Let i'm
peachment be carried on and let the "dic
tator' be hurled from the chair and le
Congress make, yes, compel those Drag
CARTS to accept of the Legislative terms re
quired, and We shall have peace and cleo
Republican President again. What
noble thing old New Hampshire has don,
to lead of on. May her granite hills evel
resound to the voice OF freemen and lib
erty's sweet strains Of music, and ma,
there be general rallying around thu
standard of equal Law 8, equal rights equa
and free education to all and each, what
ever may be the condition, caste or color
Then will the foreign elements which q
rapidly settle Western States and terri
tories. learn to love America, and with
willing hearts embrace her rights, eschev
her wrongs, and kneeling beneath tn,
