why the Government IS not
RECONSTRUCTED.

The cause assigned by the Demo
cratic party why the States are not
now restored to their practicsl rela-
tons, and why harmony does not ex
ist in in the government between
the North and tie South, is, that the
Republican party now in power re-
fuse to give the South their rights
Nothing can be farther from the truth
than this assertion. No party in
power in any government under any
circumstances, has exceeded the Re-
publican party in mercy. No Gov
eminent under the rule Of any party
has outstripped ours in favors to q
vanquished foe. The trouble arises
from a different cause. There is a
pernicious theory, long entertained
and advocated by the Southerners
and which ever Las and ever will be
detrimental to, if not wholly destruc-
tire OF, the interests Of free govern.

THE NIGER.
Frank Blair and Democracy.

When a white man bas once been
swindled By his Niger partner, it is
natural that he should ever after de-
nounce the whole race of niggcrs.-
Many Democrat has been in close
connection with the niger. and con-
tinued the relationship until the mig
ger has gotten the advantage. Ever
after, "cussed be Canaan" is the
duped whites cry. Cushman, we
understand, is abroad in the county,
reading one of Frank Bla;r's speech
es, the burden of which is abuss of
the niger. Once he thought the
Niger had as a good right to a
vote as Dutchman or an Irishman,
end lie preferred niger to Dem
ocrat to sleep with. IF We mistake
not, this gentleman once had great
deal 20 do with the nigger but the
niger proved too much for him. and

Democrats voting for Frank
E3iair--sEOsy they Wili DO II.


A good many Democrats herea-
bouts have persuaded themselves
that they can vote the Democratic
ticket snd not vote forfhc contempt-
IDLE Frank Bl,,ir. They don't want
to vote for IL N because they are sat
isfed ne WAS one CT the fathers of
Knownothingism at Philadelphia;
bee ause when re made a speech i'm
Plymouth as an abolitio-ist he bitter
~ denounced Democrats, and said in
the presence and hearing of many of
them, that \ NIGGrR HAD AS GOOD A
RIGHT TO VOTE As DUTcHMAN OR
AN FRESHMAN; because in speech
delivered by him in yigo County he
laid &c would rather sleep with =
NIGER than DEMOCRAT; because at
st. Louis he derisivcly addressed the
Fenians as -.Finpigans." and told
them he hoped thcy woeld go to Ire
land and never return as lie had seen
enough OF them IN this country; be-
cause he wrote letter to Brodhead
before the Y. Y. Convention, and has
made speeches since, in which he
substantially declared the reconstruc-
ton acts Of Congress revelptio IA
ry and void AID that they ought to
DC trampled in the dnst by the mill
tary power Of the nation under the
direction Of the President; because
he has more recently in speech at
st. Louis declared that General
Grant. if elected, would never leave
the Presidential mansion alive; be-
cause the rebels nominated him, and
because they believe he is obnoxious
to the patriotic and loyal portion Of
the Democratic party.
But any man who votes the Demo
cratic ticket next Tuesday, Indirect
ly votes for Blair, and he cant avoid
doing so. The candidate for Pres
ident and Vice President can't be yo-
ted for, directly, at the Presidential
election. Each party has chosen one
man in each Congressional District.
and two for the State at large, and
these men will be voted for-Sey-
mour and Blair will not be-and if
elected they will be known IS cleo
tors. These Electors after being
elected, meet at Indianapolis on the
first Monday in Deccmber-and pro-
coed to vote by ballot for President
and Vice President of the United
States. The chosen electors ALWAYS
vote for the nominees of their party.
Thus it will be seen that everyDem-
ocrat who votes the Democratic tick
ct next Tuesday, votes indirectly for
Blair as well as Seymour, and he
can't help himself The only way
not TO vote for the Knownothing
Irish and Dutch hating, niger low
ing, rebel leading, Democratic SIAN
dering, peace disturbing, warinciting,
revolutionizing, drunken Blair is not
to vote at all or vote the Republican
ticket. There can be no such thing
as scratching Blair off the Democrat
ic ticket-he is cemented. glued and
rivited to it, and can not be shaken,
driven or pulled off from it without
the reassembling Of the Democratic
national convention.
