Prospectus.


Justified the Rebellion shall dominate over whole
country, moding her institutions snd shaping her
destiny fit be true that God has not created all
men, bnt only all w bite men, in His own image and
made them equal in political and civil rights, then ii
is world wide calamity that Grant did not surrender
To Lee at Apponatox; and The lost Cause" trodden
into mire under the hoofs Of Sheridan's rough rid
ing cavalry, not only should but will be regained in
Constitutional Conventions and a. the ballot boxes
Ii the Black race because they are black, should be
excluded from the jury box and repelied from the
ballot box, then ne~a Jackson ought TO haad the
the names OF Warren and Mercer and Pulaski Of
Ellsworth, Lyon, Baker, Reynolds, Wadsworth,
Ksarney, sedgw lex, and McPherson.
is difficult to argue with blind, besotted preu-

question of good faith gratitude TO the Blacks

Reconstruct the South the White basis. and every
of the fifteen States V hich held slaves in 1850
will be intensely, and Overwhelmingly Copperhead
thenceforth and evermore. Allow TO day the plea
that the blacks ignoran. and degraded and those
whom you thereby clothe with power will take good

the Blacks. Defying the madness passion and the
blindness of short-sghted ulisconcepon, it has de-

cannot be far distant. -
AS for the man who is to be the chosen standard
bearer of the Republican host in the Impending con

Justice Chase as the ablext and most eminent Of
living statesmen, The TRIBUNE viii render hearty
cheerful determined support Gen. Grant, Senator

al citizens of the Republic We do not contemplate
possible the support by Republicans Of any candi

taken as they must and will be, to enlghten and
arouse the American people.
