To the OoIored Christians.

The colored people of the South
(although not of the North) are
known to be uncommonly religious.
Ever since they were enslaved by the
British and the Yankees, and sold to
the people of the South, they have
GLADLY received the Word, and have
formed n large majority in our
churches. The Republicans have
taken advantage of your piety, my
colored brethren, to deceive you.
They try to make you believe that
they freed you from slavery. How
can they say this, when they know
that, at the beginning of the late
war, their Congress passed a resolu-
ton declaring that the destruction of
slavery was not the object of the war,
but it was the preservation of the
Union. That Union filled their pock-
cts with money; and to preserve it,
they did not care O fig for you. If
the South had been willing to make
peace with them, at that time, they
never would have freed you. But
when they found that they could not
whip us without help from you, they
offered you freedom; and those that
went to them, they put in the front
rank, to receive the bullets that
would otherwise have killed them.
They made you a omb-proof to
hide themselves in. 7 must do you
the justice to say, that most of you
spurned their vile and unchristian
offer, and continued, according to
the Scriptures, 'obedient to your
own masters" You do not owe your
freedom to their good will, but, under
the Providence of God, to their
cowardice and meanness. If there
is any human being you ought to
thank, it is Andrew Johnson, for he
required the conquered States to free
you, before he would consent to their
return to the Union.
What have the Republicans done
for your religious improvement? One
of your ministers went North to ask
help to build church; he got very
little but promises, except from his
DCh1OShooiS plCtuIcu DHlI1mOrG,
Who built your churches in this city?
When you asked the whites to help
you-although they were so poor
and needy that they could hardly
help themselves--they did not refuse.
Republican emissaries have come
among you, speaking "great swelling
words of vanity" and promising
great things. They professed great
love for you: but did they NOT eIways
ask money for their love? Was not
t. everlasting hat carried round, and
has not your religion been con-
tinual tax upon you. Some of these
preachers may be honest christians;
but most of them are sneaking hypo-
critics. One of them collected money
in Orangebnrg to build church
there, and ran off with it. Of an
other, the papers say that he was
caught in vile practice, in the burnt
district, in Charleston. Such fellows
are imposters. They are after filthy
lucre, and silly women led captive by
their lusts. All they want is, first, to
The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1868-04-14

get your money or your votes, and
afterwards to lie with your wives and
daughters; and when they get YOU
into trouble with your white brethren,
they will run back to where they
came from.
The white preachers from the
North are generally persons that had
not character enough to stay there.
They have come to impose on your
good nature and make money out of
you. Thus far, they have succeeded
very. we'll. Penuyless upstarts, who
had not cash to buy second hand
coat, at home, are now lending
money at twenty per cent, and
getting rich.
If you possess christian wisdom,
you will not receive these people into
your houses, nor bid them God
speed; and you will turn away from
those of your own color who are
leagued with them, especially from
the eleoen dollars day legislators,
who made Constitution which is
full of iniquity. That Constitution
allows every idler and vagabond,
white or black-men who wont pay
even the poll-tax-to vote, and thus
to make laws for honest and indus
trious citizens. If you are diligent
in business, as the Bible commands,
and God prospers you so that you
can buy piece of land, you are, at
once, to be taxed, to support them
in the poor-house, and to school
their children. This is not christian.
Who are the whites that have gone
over to the Republican party? Are
they not ungodly, blasphemers, per-
jurers? Did they not profess to be
good Confederates, hold Office, and
skulk in bomb-proofs during the
war? Where is the respectable citi-
zen or christian, that has joined that
party? Are any of the white minis
ters of the city found there? No.
They have deep interest in your
spiritual welfare. They have visited
your churches and preached to you.
But did they send round the hal T.?
Did they not, the rather, put their
hands into their own pockets, to en-
courage and help you?
Your old friends are your best
friends. "No man having drunk old
wine straightway desireth new; for
he saith the old is better" If you
pin your faith to white adventurers,
or colored men, who turn the pulpit
into place for political harangues,
or candidates, who violate the Sab
bath, by making electioneering
speeches on that holy day, yon will
sin against God; and you will find,
in the end, that their "vine is the
vine of Sodom, and the poison of
asps is under their tongues"
My friends and brethren, be cir
cumspect and prayerful. Resist the
devil of Republicanism. If you value
your christian character or worldly
interest, reject and spit upon the
wicked Constitution made in Charles
ton, and vote with the Democrats.

LOOK AT.HOME.

With the evidences on every hand Of
Democratic ,lemqraliM i'm and DESPAIR, and
the certainty III the election Of Grant and
Culfax, there comes To Republicans Il sense
OF relief and relaxation which may be isjuri-
GUS to our party here If let go too far.
Remember, Republicans, that the Demo-
cratic party here is working with desperate
energy to carry this county and elect a Sher-
III, Levy Court and Legislative ticket. not to
elect President. They are confident as to
the States electoral vote without an effort,
they are working now to secure unani-
mously democratic Legislature, and to in
troduce the system OF management into this
county which has already rendered the low
or counties and their people bankrupt.
Every vote cast in favor of any candidate
on their county ticket is vote to bring
about this result, and we urge republicans
most earnestly to consider well how they al
low personal feeling to persuade them to
strike blow at the principles they profess
to hold dear, and against the interests of our
county.
People of New Castle county, will you be
SO mad as to entrust the finances and polti-
cal management of our wealthy, prosperous
county to the party which has saddled the
State with burdensome debt and bank
rupted the two counties in which it has fol
years had supreme control? Business men,
of both parties, can yol afford it? Working
men, who must suffer when business is pros
trated, can you afford it?
Republicans, proud of the fair fame OF oui
loyal county, are you willing to sully hel
namef Ii it is done it will be you and moi
the Democrats who do it. They cannot
carry New Castle county without your votes

If ALL THE IDLE PEOPLE in the world were
obliged to work if all those who do work
were directed so as to labor to the best adj
vantge; and if the products OF this general
industry were equally divided, there need
not be a person suffering for want of food,
clothes, or instruction. 1t is the drones in
the hives, the shirks, the grabbers who
make poverty and distress.
But it is said to be Utopian to expect to
set the world right collectively. Individual
ly then, this system of cooperation which
would do so much if universally set in ope-
ration, viii work results of similar charac-
ter, If adopted by communities and associa
tons. Cooperation is Economy, Economy
is the law Of Nature Separate labor is ne.
cessarily costly and imperfect. In the large
cities there are tens of thousands of sewing
women. Each may rent her room. In it.
she must cook her own food, keep her OWE
fire, provide her own light. But suppose
four women to join. The one fire will warn
them; the one lamp will light them; lii,
one stove and utensils will cook for them
two-thirds of the food consumed separately
will, cooked together, comfortably feet
them. They may still rent four rooms, Blu
they may use them for bedrooms, kitchen
and sitting-room, instead of employing .on,
for all uses.
There is no secret in this. 1t needs only
the willingness to join labors-the desire t.
be fair TO each other. The instance W,
give is one Of the million that might be-
Laborers, TO get ahead you must outstriI
your expenses. To do that you must hay,
Economy. And Economy as we have said
is Cooperation.

For IV1RD

Let us make ii unanimous Why should
Delaware and Maryland stand alone in their
devotion to party so badly beaten every
where else that its leading organ seriously
proposes to withdraw its candidates, and its
executive committee offers no objections to
the proposal except that it is ''inexpedient
and impossible" to do so at this late day.
Democrats, will you not follow the lead
Of Whitley, who last night at your own
meeting abandoned the issues of your party,
eulogized Grant and declared the debt con
tracted to suppress the rebellion, a just debt,
every dollar of which must be honestly paid:
We ask you Delawareans as sensible, prac-
teal men, why should you array our little
State in defiant hostility to the progress of
the age, the march of events and the will of
the Nation
II can be of no advantage to the State 1t
can even be of no advantage to Democrats.
for the Democratic party ceases to exist as
National organization two weeks from
next Tuesday, Belmont says that 10 with
draw their candidates now, would be to dis
band their forces,-will it be any less dis
bandment to await the Appomattox defeat
which awaits them on the Third of Noyem-
berf The National Democratic party is by
Its own confession dead why should rem
nant OF it continue to exist here,
A new party will doubtless be some day
organized, and the old issues abandoned if
Delaware continues to cling to the old one
her voice will not be potential in the new.
Close up the ranks then and make Grants
election unanimous, and then in the era of
good feeling which follows you can arrange
these other matters coolly and judiclously.

The OPPONENTS Of female suffrage and
many protested friends of ii rely upon the
argument as conclusive that women ought
not to vote, or at least will not, because most
of them are Indifferent upon the question.
This is probable true, and it reflects back
upon the mass of woman, charge which
they will find it difficult to meet. 1t indi-
Gates that women are indifferent, as general
rule, 10 matters of public Importance, and
that they care little whether the condition
of mankind is changed for the better, the
worse, OF at all. This is plain, for certain
ly the framing and administration of the
laws make the character of u government,
and governments not only index, but control
the condition of their people. If, therefore,
the women of the world can stand aside, and
decline to have share in the constitution OF
society it shows their lack Of interest in the
welfare of mankind, and gives color to the
charge that they are at best of but weak in
tellectual capacity.
How long this reproach will remain upon
American women remains to be seen.

THEiAY ON IRA VEL.

We publish elsewhere the protest of the
Philadelphia Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad Company, through its President,
against any further payment of the tax levi
ed by the last Legislature of this State on
travel, and its refusal to longer collect it
from travellers crossing the State, those en- !.
tcring it from other States or leaving it for
ether States
We are glad to see this action. We have
always opposed this tax as it caused every
intelligent honest Delawarean to blush with
shame that the principal source of revenue
in our State was highway robbery. That
it was this, and nothing else, the figures
given prove conclusively, showing as they
do, that the greater amount of the money
thus obtained was taken from persons mere
ly crossing the State.
Comfortable as it may seem to dishonest
people to compel residents of other States to
pay the taxes Of the people of Delaware, no
honest man can really approve OF such an
expedient.
But as a tax on our own citizens ii is an
unfair and unequal one. Because a mansl
business compels him to travel is no reason
that he should be taxed more heavily than
man who stays at home. This is Il prop
osiiion so plain that it needs no argument,
and we think will be admitted without a
question by every fair-minded impartia
man.
We hope the company will now go step
further and contest the legality Of the act
compelling them to collect the tax from per-
sons travelling within the limits of the State.
The charter of the Delaware Railroad Com
pany specifically provides ''that the Com
pany hereby incorporated shall be free and
exempt from all manner of taxation for any
stock, toll or other property whatever, for
period of fifty years, from the passage of
of this Act.
1t seems to us that the recent law clearly
conflicts with the terms of the contract thus
voluntarily entered into by the State, and
the pretence that it does not, merely because
the law requires not that the Company shall
pay the tax, but that it shall collect it for the
State from its passengers, we do not believe
will be admitted as valid plea by any
court. 1t certainly cannot if common law
be in accordance with common sense.
We presume the charge will result in
speedy change in the prices of tickets be-
tween this city and points outside the State.
