tional and State. All favoTites with the
people, they acquitted themselves quite
up to the expectation OF the most a n
guine.
Hon. John w. Leftwich, candidate for
Congress, and Hon. W. w. Vaughan,
Eiector for this District, addressed in
plain, practical aud comprehensive
speeches about 5000 colored people at

Of that occupied by the principal speak

attention, and produced the best effects
upon their listeners.
The dinner was a perfect success.
Abundance Of everything the

sumptuous. Everybody WIS pleased
and delighted, and all were loud in praise
Of the managers.

former Editor Of the Memphis Bulletin,

preston Of GRANTS views as to the
South and SoutheFners, we present 1t to
cur readers. He said:

DON'T GIVE Up THE SHIP


The Geographic reports of this morn.
ing contain the announcement that the
Louisville Courier has conceded the
elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
and Nebraska to the Radicals, and there
upon concludes that the Presidential
election is virtually decided in favor q
the same party.
This is a style CT Democratic Journal
ism from which We totally dissent.
Even though IL should appear as the
Courier comedies, 1t must be remembered,
that independent Of the great issues in
troduced In the canvass in the above
States, there entered much OF that local
feeling of which we had g sample before
the nomination Of DR.. LEFTwICH, and
which is seldom entirely overcome by
the operation Of the party " whip and
spur.n In every Congressional race
there is more OF less of personal animOs-
Here in Memphis many, and Indeed
most Of those opposed TO fhe nomination
of our gallant stsndaTd-beErer, were SO
because of his inability in some cases,
and his very proper indispositlon in
others, TO put In Office men who, at the
last hour truDped up "clGimsn upon
him, as II any honest mar csn have
"claims" upon linen" or party " for
the performance OF duty.
As here, 30 in the States upon whose
votes we hang with bresthless expeeta-
tion, but NoT in fear. The floating
voters" Of whom In all Northern COM
munities there are large numbers, have
doubtless, in some instances, voted for
"men" against "psrty," and so pro-
duced the results the Courier too readily
accepts IS accomplished. But this is far
from deciding the contest Of November,
when the issues will be OF an entirely
national character, not to be biased by
local animosities, personal preferences or
social considerations.
The struggle between Rsdlcslism and
the Democracy will not end until from
one end Of the Union to the other the
people have spoken and declared for or
against SEYMOUR and BLAIR, whose
colors we have nailed to the masthead,
never to be deserted.
There is too much st stake for the peo-
pie of the South TO sink, voluntarily, into
insction, though all the Northern and
Western States should go Republican.
God has given Us q great heritage, and
He demands that with the good we shall
bear the Ill. Young, and yet vigorous;
recuperating from greatloss and a bloody
war, our people are too ssnsible to be-
come depressed into utterly giving up in
despair Of brighter and happier days.
A1d especially are they o sensible to
give mp until they are compelled By the
force Of circumstances that have not
yet t~ranepIred. The defeat Of to-day
may be but the hsrbiDger Of victory to-
morrow. We will not give up, nor
eoncede to GRANT whatis yet 10 dispute.
