The Jews.
On the outside of this paper is M arti-
ole from the Isra<,ite, of Cincinnati. We
invite careful attention TO it, not that 1T
shows the difference Of liberation between
General Grant and George II. Pendleton,
Abe probable nominees Of the two strong
parties; but because it evolves hostility
towards large number Of people who do
not accord, in belief, with the Christian
idea of salvation. Doctor WISE is the ed
itor Of the Lsrae';te. He is very able
writer. Tho copy speaks for itself. A
document once known as "The Constitu-
ton of the United States" rcvcred by
patriotic hearts MS legacy from the Faith
ers and Trainers of this Republic, says -
fArticle LIST of Amendments), Congress
shall make no law respecting an establish
nent Of Religion or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof or abridging the freedom
Of speech, or of the press ; or Of tho right
Of the people peaceably to assemble and to
petition Government fcra redress Of
grievances"
There is proneness on the part OF
Commercial men and intensified Christ
ians (?) to curse the Hebrews, but they do
not stop to consider that this race of pco-
ple are at tho bottom of the monied
transactions of the world. The name OF
Rothschild is moro potent to make war or
TO proclaim peace than that Of any crown
ed head in Europe. In America there are
100000 Hebrews they are peacablc,
thrifty, unobt-usivc, Intelligent and indus
trious. Almost unanimously in trade, il
is because they are active an" successful
that they are so severely censurred by ira
aers Of the United States. Our folks avail
themselves of every opportunity to tuln a
penny "without physical e1ertion," why
should the Igraelitish people be prohibited
II it is crime in Abraham, Isaac or ia
cob to make profit on clothing, why is il
virtue in Gems Banks, Butler, and hosts
Of others to have speculated in CorToN al
the expense Of the rich, warm blood OF
their countrymen Of both northern and
southern birth. We, like many others,
have been taught a prejudice against them,
but Truth tells US that in our large bust
ness intercourse with them we have never
been defrauded, and in our social relations
everything has been pleasant. They are
"peculiar." They are so pronounced in
Scripture. They were the first people
JAcoD-he whose loins produced the direct
ancestry Of the humanity part Of the sa-
vior, was cunning, scheming, talented
man he lied to his father and cheated
Esau of his birthright; be was cheated,
in turn, by Laban, his fathcr-in-law out
of his FIRST seven years of labor; the
stripcd--cattle bargain was another cheat
Eachels theft of her fathers household
gods, and lying about it when her father
overlook Jacobs runaway cavaleade,
were all swindles Of yery criminal or
der, and yet the Christian world does not
disclaim old Jacob as the blouse" whence
sprang one who is the founder Of Christi
anity! Some say all the world is cheat.
This is not actually true; but there is
enough in the saying to attract general
attention. It is not best to examine the
past for purity in ancestry, nor scan the
present too closely for perfection. All are
mortal. All are selfish. The weight Of
your gold is the need Of merit with the
masses, and it is not strange that human
weakness should become stronger than
human honesty. Let US be charitable to-
wards all. American traders become reck-
less in their efforts to reach the goal OF
wealth as soon as they learn the road, and
with their sins financial, political and re-
ligious, they should be the last people to
Join ULYSSES GRANT in prescribing whole
race Of the most historic people Of whom
We have any authentic recorl. Strike
Hebrew history from the Book and where
is Christianity, Masonry, tao Arts and
Sciences and all other lamps which are
claimed to have so much illuminated the
path of the last 5000 years ? IT'S not
wise to trust Illiberal;sts with power
which exhibits itself so palpably in the
insulting order of Gen. Grant.
