Plain Talk from a War Democrat.

The New York Citizen, edited by
Gen. Halpine, and claiming to be the
organ of the loyal portion Of the
Northern pemoprscy, has an article
on "Presidential candidates." which
will doubtless attract considerable
attention. The "boy Miles" blprts
out the truth in an uncomfortable
manner, and handles the Copperheads
without gloves, as follows:
"fhe Democratic party is in an
awkward position; consistency is re-
garded as a necessity Of poEticians,
foolish as this is. and contrary to the
fact, as history shows it to be; and
consistency with the stupldities of the
last six years insares ptIer ruin. The
organization happens to be composed
OF conflicting and antagonistic ele
ments large portion OF it consists
of actual, positive, unconverted, and
undeniable peace men, submissiOnists
w0rshippers of chivalry, admires of
the South, and funkies at his feet (;
men who had rather be kicked by a
Southern man than kissed by q
Northern woman. The crayeps GO
bodily for their representative, their
worthy exemplar, George III. Pendle-
ton will have him and no one else,
and actually despise and repudiate
Governor Seymour as too much of a
war man.
We say distinctly, positively, and
unchangeably as the law of the Medes
and Persians, that never will those
for whom we speak, help directly or
indirectly, by assertion or silence, by
action or idlepess, The election of the
utter copperhesd and false hearted
Northerner, George H. Pendietop.-
Until water runs uphill, until trees
grow with leaves underground and
roots above, until the moon gives
heat and the sun loses its fire, until
beasts become men and angels turn
to devils, until ice shall burn and fire
shall freeze. until everything that is
impossible becomes possible, and not
then, will War Democrats vote tori
the man who was false not only to
his country but to his section, who
vas conspicuous only as degrading
example of possible Northern mean
ness, and who, by his Indirect support
to their foes, slew their sons and
brothers. Rather, thousand times, |
would they see the loyal soldier and
moderate Republican, Gen. Grant,
in the Presidential chair, a person
who, if not agreeing with them in all
their views, is much more nearly
their representative than a copper
head whose prudence kept him from
being a traitor"
Gen. Halpine is Democrat of the
War stripe: He carried sword in |
the defence of his country, and he
does not propose to sell out IS cheap
ly as did Hancock. There are very
many Democrats in the country of
Miles way OF thinking, who regard
Pendleton as no better than the rebels
they fought, and this element will
make itself felt in the coming contest.

Honor your Busines 8.

1t is - good sign when a man is
proud of his work or calling. Ye,
nothing is more common than to hear
men finding fault constantly with
their particular business and deeming
themselves unfortunate because fast
ened to it by the necessity of gaining
livelihood. In this spirit men fret,
and laboriously destroy all their com.
fort in their work, or they change
their business, and go OF miserably,
shifting from one thing to another
till the grave or the poor r-house gives
them q Fast grip. But while occas
ionally man fails in life because he
is not in the place fitted for his pc
culiar talent, it happens ten times
Oftener than failure results from neg.
lect and even contempt ofan honest
business. A man should put his
heart in every thing that he does
There is not a profession that has
not its peculiar cares and vexation
No man will escape annoyance by
changing business. No mechanical
business is altogether agreeable,
Commerce, in its endless varieties, lie
affected. like all other human pur-
suits, with trials, unwelcome duties,
and spirit firing necessities. 1t is
the very wantOnness OF folly for a
man to search out the frets and bur
dens of his calling. and give his mind
every day to consideration ofthem.
They belong to human life. They
are inevitable. BrOOding, then. only
gives them strength. On the other
hand, man has power given him to
shed beauty and pleasure upon the
hOmeliest toll, If he is wise. Let a
man adopt his business and identi
fy it with his life, and cover it with
pleasant associat; for God has
given US imagination, not alone to
make some poets, blt to enable all
men to beauify hemely things.
Heart-varnish will cover up innum-
erable evils and defects. Look at
the good things. Accept yOur lot as
a man does a piece OF rugged ground,
and begin to get out the rocks and
roots, to deepen and mellow the soils,
to enrich and plant it. There is
something in the most forbidding
ayocation around which a man may
twine pleasant fancies. out of which
he may deveiope an honest pride

The following item. which has interest. to
: Masons, we find in the:report ofproceedings OF
the Grand Lodge of New York, which has just
sclosed its session in that city. We believe that
Il there IS aLodee ofcolered Masons in this city,
Int they are not recognized, Tor the same rea,
aSnn that exists in the State OF New I ork. 1t
Is proper to remark here, that Masonry exclu.
Jss no man on account of race or color, but
one ,of its essential requirements, in all the
world, is, that the candidate must have been
free-bor and any one processing, to be a
Mason, must prove that he was made such IN
regular and not a clandestine Lodge. All
Lodges are considered clandestine, that do not
work under a;oharter procured from the Grand
Lodge within the jurisdiction in which the
same may be holden. Thus no Grand Lodge
outside of Virginia, can grant dlspensation or
charter to subordinate Lodge within the
limits of this State, and there can be but one
Grand Lodge in any State. We. subioin the
report referred :-La,nchburg Nrgiasan. !,
IA resolution was offered to the effect that
as there were several lodges of colored Masons
in the city Of New York the right hard OF tel-
lovsbip should be extended to them as soon as
thew might show desire to transfer their
allegiance to the Grand Lodge OF the State OF
New York. 90. :
r"The Deputy Grand Master (in the chair)
decided that the resolution being one which
called upon the Grand Lodge to recognize
clandestine Masons he could not entertain It.
Whatever the Grand Lodge might hereafter
i do with regard to admitting men OF different
color to ourselves in to the fraternity 1t was
not for him to say :; but the. so:called lodges
now in the city were clandestine, and this
Grand Lodge could not hold Masonic inter
course with them"

"YoU Amt FooLING WID A WHITE
MAN. Last Wednesday we noticed some
truly loil and patriotic citizens unloading
a wagon Of lumber under the ''boss-ship' of
coored brother, who worked hard himself,
and it seems, was disposed to assert his aq-
thority over the others, and get as much
'sweatof honest labor" out of them as posi-
ble One of them, a grown man, put his
hands into his pockets, and stood gazing at
the wonders of town to the neglect, for time,
Of his duties. His negligence did not escape
hsargus:eyed colored boss, who seized a board,
and, without the fear of the Freedmen,s Bu,
resu, profanely raised it against the Radleal
idol, and commenced pattiug ''Juba" on the
most exposed parts of the aforesaid idol. The
idol danced briskly to his work to the lively
tune, and fairly made the lumber fy, from the
wagon, much to the amusement OF the sur
rounding gentlemen and ladies of color while
the ebony "boss" threw. himself back to the
dienity of a towering passion, and exclaimed:

WHAT THE LOCAL SAID OF THE LECTURER.
1.-THE lecture last evening was brilliant az
fair. The hall ought to have been filled. We
are sorry to say, only forty persons were pre-
sent. The speaker commenced by saying that
he was by birth an ecclesiastical deduction; gave
learned description Of the devil, and his skill
in saving trees: Among other things, he stated stated
Arithmetic. We trust the eloquent divine
may be induced to repeat the lecture at some
future day"
WHAT THE LECTURER SAID TO THE LOCAL.
Dear Sir: In report of my lecture in your
beautiful city, you have made some few mis-.
takes which I wish to correct. You make me
speak Of myself as by birth an ecclesiastical
deduction - what said was, that was not
by birth but only enthusiastically a Dutchman.
Instead Of speaking OF the devil as saving
trees, spoke of him as sowing tares: said
nothing Of Abraham, but spoke of the Ara
bians as nomades of patriarchal simplicity. l
said that Cecrops was the founder OF Athens,
and instructed the people in agriculture.
