From all quarters we learn that the
Hebrew citizens of the country are en-
tsring zealously into the political contest,
in which, with Americans born, they have
deep and common interest. They have
lately started an organ in Chicago called
The Western Hebrew, which Is devoted
to the " Literary and social advancement
Of the Jews" The following extract
from it is in keeping with the almost
unanimous expression and feeling Of
this portion of our people. In the
Northern States they probably hold the
balance of power, and will give Grant
reason to regret his cruel edict against
them, when be had no idea Of ever need
ing their votes. The Jews and other
vsgabonds," as his friends have styled a
portion of their opponents, will likely
teach the lying pretender to throne that
it is wiser by justice and fair dealing to
make friends, than by wrong and oppres-
sion to make enemies, in the day of one

We confess that we did love the Con-
federate States They were.our country,
and there was nothing it was in our heart
to withhold from it, which we had any
power or right to give. We loved its
people, and its flag too, in our very heart
of hearts. We love it still. II that is
rebellion, we are still rebel, and have
not the ability to be anything else. Ifit
is criminal to mourn the fallen, we must
plead guilty. But the flag is mere moth
ing, rag, except as it is the emblem Of
power. As such we respect it. As the
ensign of authority to which we owe al
legiance, we honor it. We have no disposi-
ton TO tear it down, or disobey the author
ity, or insult the dignity which it repre-
sents. 1t is a great and glorious old flag.
If any editor in Memphis or man
charges us with now thinking or feeling
otherwise, it is because he is too great q
fool to appreciate the reality of the stu.
alton, and the motives and influences
which govern men of integrity, or too
dishonest and false to truth himself to be
able and willing to do justice to a friend
Of the Constitution, who refuses to be
numbered with its venal and I'M
principled adversaries. We are no ene-
my to the flag of the United States. And
to him who says we are, we have no an
swer but that which an epithet will best
express. We never worship any piece
of bunting But the flag of the country,
as representing its great power and
glory, and as the ensign Of nation to
which our faithful allegiance is due, we
give homage and all honor We only
ask that under it we shall be protected
in the commoa rights of humanity, and
in the enjoyment of that to which, by the |
declaration of independence and the |
of the land, which it repre-
sents, we may be fairly entitled.
