New Orleans Republican., 1868-08-25
Political Inrormatiop.

A correspondent writes to the Chicago
Tribune from TuscaIo, Douglas Comfy
that the rebel Democracy had demonstra.
ton in that place on the tenth. Thomas
Brewer, their candidate for Congress-.
General Thomas Black were the orators.
| The Court House was filed. much the
larger part of the meeting being Republi-
cans. very poor lawyer from Old Vir
| ginia presided. Brewer was the first
speaker, and made the following points:
He was there for the purpose of warning
the people of their danger. He wanted
the audience to reflect before they elected
a soldier to office. He was opposed 10
soldiers for office, because he was not a
soldier himself and he was going to be
elected to Congress from that ''deestrick.
because he was in favor of an "economica.
Bile" form Of government. (Roars of
laughter) He had heard that General
Moore, his opponent, was good man, and
Tor that reason he tBrewer) should be
elected, for Washington was not the place
to send good men. The republicans are
wide awake in Douglas county. Tanner
clubs are forming in every town, and as
soon as the harvest is over they propose to
have grand demonstration.
The rebels in the South who have been |
disfranchised by the State constitutions |
clamor for the restoration of their forfeited |
privileges, and the demand has been re- |
ceiyed with more generous temper than
could nave been expected yet these men
40 not hesitate to declare that the first use
wnen tney make OF the right of suffrage
shall be to disfranchise the men who haSa
eniranehised them. While we believe that
liberal policy is the true one, and are IN
favor Of Concessions even from the right
side to the wrong, to heal the wounds of
the rebellion, we think that our friends In
the reconstructed States are going rather
fast In admitting to share in the govern
nent men who come in with determine
ion to overthrow it. The suffrage can he
extended to these men at any time If thew
lbuse 1t, it can not be taken from them.
