WANT OF TOLERATION.- Gen. But
Ter, in his late speech at Lowell, in ac-
acknowledgement of the greetings Of his
fellow-citizens, after dealing in the
most truculent menaces to the South,
wound up by saying: "If the Repub-
lican party is true to the great Demo-
cratic principles of Jefferson and 9TH
ers, it will hold the government for a
generation to come" In the inaugural
address of Mr.. Jefferson, at his first
term of Office, is this passage: off
there be any among us who would
wish to dissolve this Union, or to
change its republican form, let them
stand, undisturbed, as monuments of
the safety with which error Of opinion
may be tolerated aChere reason is left free
TO combat IT," If the Republican party
proposes to act on the democratic
principles of Jefferson," it will exer-
else at least as much liberation towards
those whose only offense is voting for
the Democratic ticket as he proposed
towards those whose aims were against
the Union and republican form of
gOvernment-wh no one charges
against the South in the late canvass -

The Congress which will date its eX-
listen ce from the Inauguration of Gen.
Grant, will contain at least ninety
Democrats. The present Congress
musters but fifty Democrats and Con-
servatives. This destroys the Radical
two thirds in the forty-first Congress.
II ence as much villany as possible may
be expected to be crowded into the ex-
piring session of the fOrtieth Congress.
Kelly will at once bring up his Negro
Suffrage bill, for he dares not trast it to
the Congress elected this year. Snap
ju dgment will be the Radical order of
the day. Mark it!

Be hero IN the strife.
If the man recently elected President
of the United States chooes to mark
out a course for himself, Independent
of the Republican party, he has the
opportunity to do 50. We are not a.
ware that he has given any pledges
which hold him to an observance of
Radical policy, and if he goes into the
presidential chair with hea and heart
devoted to constitutional government
and the best interests of his country,
however Radical politicians may howl
and threaten, he will find himself sds-
tained by power that all the influ-
ences and appliances of that party can
not shake. If the hero Of Fort Donel-
son, Pittsburg Landing and the VIII
derness, has the stuff in him, the NOR
al courage and patriotism, to serve his
country instead Of a party LED by gradu-
ates in the schools of fanaticisn and
sectionalism, he has glorious chance
to do so. He is pledged to "no poll
cy." He gave no broad assent to the
Chicago Platform. He once declared,
long before his nomination, that he
did not desire and would not accept
the office unless as president Of the
whole people Let him recur to those
early utterances and conform his con-
duet to the policy they imply; let him,
in his administration of Federal af-
fairs. consult, not the wishes Of the
politicians and demagogues of the par
ty that elected him, but the substan-
tial interests and constitutional rights
OF the masses North and South ; let him,
in short, be moral thero in the
strife" and he will find himself sus-
tained by the people Of the country
and win renown before the glory OF
which all his military exploits will

The telegraph is very mute in re-
gard to the result of the election
in the Golden State. The Democrats
have elected two of the three Congress
men, and it may turn out, in the end,
that Seymour has carried the State.

PREPARE!

The rank-and-fle Of the Radical par
ty can now make up their minds to
meet the issue of Negro Suffrage in a
shape that is without disguise. 1t is
authoritatively announced that VIII
liam d. Kelley, member of Congress
from Philadelphia, will at the next
session of Congress, bring TO vote his
measure to enforce Negro Suffrage
throughout the Union. This is exact
Iy what was predicted by us Democrats
during the recent campaign. We call
to witness every man, Republican"
or Democrat, who listened to the editor
of this paper when on the stump, pri-
or to the late election. Did we not
tell you that if Grant would be elected,
such would be the case? And what
was your answer? ooh no Z! we can't
believe it. But if it should turn out
as you say, we will certainly vote with
the Democrats"
Now, mark our words, oar prediction

GENTLEMEN: Accept my thanks

$yiUanio,
| am, yours, very respectfully,
ISAAC B. CARA.
Is any additional evidence needed to
prove that it is the purpose of the Rad
ical party to enfranchise the negro
throughout the whole country? are
you prepared to endorse this move
ment, Republicans" of Bedford coun-
ty? Are you ready to degrade and de-
base the franchise by extending the
number of ignorant and licentious
voters? Is there not already enough
corruption, purchased voting, intimi-
dation and fraud in our elections? Il
you are not, prepare for il as soon as
possible! Prepare to resist it, or you
will be forced to acquiesce in its accom-
plishment. The election is over. We
have no partizan purpose to subserve
no votes to make for any cadldate, by
an appeal like this. We only state what
we believe to be the Gods truth, anC
only ask you to consider it in a spirit
Of candor and fairness. We ask you tC
watch Congress, which will soon agair
be in session, and see for yourselves, il
what we say turns out to be true OF
false.

w nOIe NUMBER Electoral VOTES Oh
OF this Seymour and Blair have Sc
cured a majority upon fair and honest
vote. Who supposes that North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mis-
souri, and West Virginia are for
GRANT? 1t is safe to say that no one
man in five, unobstructed by any out
side interference, would vote for him ;
yet, by military violence and by the
sending to the polls, under its auspices,
of hordes of illegal negro voters, these
States have been declared carried for
him. Their votes, together with those
of Mississippi, Virginia and Texas,
which, by a pure act Of military des-
potism, were not allowed to vote at all,
decided the contest. The result of all
may be summoned up as follows:
SEYMOUR was elected by the legal
electors and white people Of the Uni
ted States.
GRANT was not elected, but by the
power of the bayonet, sending several
hundred thousand negroes to the polls,
and keeping back several hundred
thousand whites, he was declared
chosen. This is all there is of it, Gin
ci,anati Enquirer.

for the American Organ, manufactured

upon its solid merit. The internal
construction differs from all other in

renders it less liable to get out of Or

response to the touch is as ready as the
