manipulated as Tennessee was byAndrew
johnson four years ago. But there is no
other block of ten States so certain to

The tribune on the Inevitable.

The New York Tribune insists that
the election of Grant will give peace "
to the country, and that the Democratic
success never can have that result, be-
cause it procIaims and builds upon an
eternal, implacable antagonism of race"
If the philosopher of the Tribune was
on the other side of the question be would
say the success of the Democratic party
only can give peace, because it builds on
an eternal law which God has ordained
IAN autsgonism inherent in the consti-
tuition of man. And that the success Of
the Radical party can never give peace,
because it builds on the perfect equality
of the two races whom God has put
asunder quite as widely as He has the
Oursng-Outang and the African. That
is the true philosophy which the philoso'
pher of the Tribune, will never be able
TO overthrow while the world stands.

BUFFALO.

BUFFALO, June l3.-Reports from Can
ada having gained circulation to the effect
that Fenisns are concentrating at this
point for raid on the neighboring
province, 1t is proper to contradict such
statements. No unusual gathering Of Fe
mans has occurred here, and it is not true
that there is a single member Of that or
ganizstion here, outside of the citizens
of Buffalo. They are sensational reports,
and probably originate with Canadian
spectators interested in supplying the
troops.

ponce where there is NO Peace.

True democracy insists on the equal
rights of men that spurious. sham de-
mocracy which opposes Grant and Col
fax, asserts thai" this is white mans
| Government" wherein none but whites
have any natural right to vote or be voted
for. That party, if successful next fali,
is bound TO do its utmost to diyest OF the
right of suffrage the three millions OF our
countrymen enfranchised by the recon.
struction acts, and remand them to the
state of serfdom wherein their brethren
| in Maryland, Kentucky, and other Dem
ocratic States, now are. ThisIt incite
a new war of races--to evoke1eew horT
rors like those of San Domingo, where
emancipation was peacefully, legally,
joyously effected, but reinstatement,
though never consu minated, whelmed
the whole island in conhagration and
massacre. Give us peace l-Nep York
| Tribune. ~ t''t
The bolduess of the Tribune atiirma-
tons is only equalled by the badness
and falsity of its Illustrations, which, for
want of better, it brings to support them.
Is there any truth in the statement that
a condition of serfdom exists in Mary
land and Kentucky, which does not
equally exist with the blacks Of New
York2 While the Tribune charges that
the Democrats are seeking war OF
races, it steps forward itself to open the
way to it in case of the franchise being
withheld in the South as it is in Mary
land and Kentucky. This is what 1t
virtually advises in such case. Wa
ever a greater absurdity uttered than
that unconsummated reinstatement,
which was never even begun in st. Do.
mingo, whelmed the whole island in
couhagration and massacre 2" That was
the work of the barbarian race, aided by
few Tribune philosophers. 1t is what
Mr.. Greeley and his friends freely haz-
ard for the South in the interest of the
Radical party. Rule or ruin is stamped
on every step of the Tribune, and more
than mortal ability is necessary to hide
it's tracks.

gained is, that students leave such q school
