wonderful country TO a similar fate by the
active Introduction Of the inferior races here
and admitting them to the elective franchise.
To this high privilege they will be admitted
whenever they are concentrated upon this
continent in large numbers. Demagogical
aeitations will as surely succeed in securing 1t
for them as those agitations have secured the
ballot for the negro-the lowest Of all the
races existing in any considerable number on
this continent.
Therefore let us have neither coolies nor
Chinese. Give us Irish, English, Scotch,
Germans, French, Greeks, Italians, and auy
Europeans, but none other il we can possibly
avoid it, either from Africa or Asia. We
have enough of the inferior type already, God
knows. 1t has brought unteld evil upon our
land. What do we want with more trouble
from mixed races, and the terrible fanatical
and demagogical agitations which their pre-
sepce would engenderY
Why should it be assumed that labor must
be entrusted to inferior beingsY There lies
the great error. Is not labor the school from
which the greatest human energies proceed
Is 1t not the nursery of the men of greatest
physical force-who, upon the theatre OF tue
worlds greatest deeds, take their position
amongst the most distinguished of the actors
Is it not the department of life from whence
the others are recruited by men perfect in
form, fully developed in physique, well bal
anced in intellect, to take the places of those
who have been rendered effste aud inert by
luxury and vice In the name of common
sense, in the name of all that is wise and
bene1oent for our country, why should any
man desire to degrade the labor OF this coun-
try by leaving it to inferior imported races
Why shall we deprive ourselves of the great
school, the great nursery for men of our own
blood, and thus forfeit resource of energy
and power without which no nation can be
greatH
We are sure no man can reflect upon the
subject even for brief while without being
convinced that our happiness, our national
harmony, and our greatness depend upon the
preservation of the State from the deterior-
ating influences of the inferior races, and
maintaining the dignity of labor by performing
it ourselves.

"spit upon the Constitution, f" bat openly to
deride it, aud to laugh 10 the face Of overy
honest man who appeals to it. SO defiant are
the usurpers, aud so oontemptuous of the
spirit and intelligence of the people The time
comes apace to determine whether the people
deserve that contempt. We do not read the
temper OF the nation Alright il they do. We see
the old fires of freedom burning as brightly in
the North and East and West as they did ia
the best days of the republic, aud, besides, we
read what they will do in the history Of a
blood that tells but one story from the days of
the Barons down through the Hampdens to
the present era The American Constitution
cannot die without struggle. So enormous
political change was never yet made without
the eGusion Of blood. We, therefore, ouly
assert the inevitable when we repeat, "The

Inferior Races Not Wanted.
From The Richmond Whio.


We consider every proposition looking to
the Introduction CT inferior races into this
country, as laborers, whether from Africa or
Asia, as impolitic and dangerous. II the North
American States are to hold supremacy aud
rise to the pinnacle of national fame as being
the most powerful government on earth and
doing most for the exaltaton Of mankind, it
can only be because the people belong to the
highest race of men-that they are the best of
that noblest type of our order, the Caucasian.
In proportion as We mix up with our popula.
tion the inferior races we shall impair our
national force and diminish our chances for
achieving that grand destiny which will GER
tainly be the fate of this country if left to the
unmixed rule and energies of the Caucasian
race.
We see the horrible condition of the repub
lies south of us-their wretched governments
and the rapidly succeeding revolutions, which
give their people no rest and deprive industry
and art of all opportunity to improve the con-
dition of men. There we have full view of
the evil'consequences of mixed populations of
incompatible races. The condition of those
States never can be improved with such races
equally admitted into the constituent body
regulating public affairs. We may bring this

The Depression of the Revenue.

FROM the ~. Y. HOrLd.
II substantial proof is wanted of the injury
which ill-advised legislation has inflicted upon
the industrial interests of the country, it may
be had in the unprecedented depression OF the
internal revenue. OF late, for days and days
together, the receipts have summed up the
discouraging average of about $250,000, and
on one day last week they fell as low as
$3.50 The time has been when such
sum would have thrown the bureau officers at
Washington into a panic. To comprehend
the startling smallness of the figures, it is but
necessary to reflect that they represent a
whole days receipts of public dues through
out the entire country from Maine to the
Gulf Of Mexico, and from the Atlantic to the
Pacific.
If such an average were long continued our
whole inland revenue for this fiscal year
would be in the neighbOrhood of 1925 100000
even allowing for the fluctuations which com
monty occur at certain periods, due to trade
changes.
How this sum would tally with official
figures the public can Judge for itself. Mr.
MoCulloch estimated that this years revenue
from internal sources would reach 205 millions,

Bad Advice from Mr.. Pendleton.
From the ". Y. Herald.

FROM he ~, r, Iderutu.
letter has appeared in the newspapers
from Mr.. George Il. Pendleton to a friend in
Texas, in which he says:-"About your not
being allowed to vote, be not alarmed we
shall see that Texas is represented. Vote by
all means" Now it strikes us that this is bad
advice from Mr.. Pendleton. At the late long
session of Congress a law was passed which
substantially provides that no Rebel State not
recognized by Congress as duly restored to the
fellowship of the Union shall participate in
this Presidential election. Virginia, Missis-
sippi and Texas have not been, and will not
be, recognized by Congress this side the Presi-
dental election. The law, therefore, will shut
them of. Should an election be tried in
Texss according to the advice of Mr.. Pendle-
ton it will be loves labor lost; for the very
Congress which passed this law on the subject
will be the judge and jury in the counting Of
the electoral votes of the several States for
President and Vice President.
What then, does Mr.. Pendleton mean when
he says we 'shall see that Texas is repre-
sented % Should Congress cast out the vote
Texas submitted on this pledge, how does
Mr.. Pendleton propose to ''see that Texas is
represented" His letter is dated August 2l,
and from Bangor, in Maine but that was
several weeks before the Maine election. He
thought, perhaps, at the time that there was
good prospect for Seymour and that if the
votes of the unreconstructed States would elect
him it would be well to have them ready. But
what thenY Mr.. Pendleton must have meant
that the refu al of Congress to count those
votes would bring President Johnson, as
Commender-in-ch of the army, down upon
the two houses in the role of Cromwell. II
this letter, then, means anything, il means the
possible contingency for another civil war.
We, guess, however, that the votes of the
Southern States, if all counted against Grant,
will not be enough to upset his election, and
that accordingly the vote of Texas will praoti-
cally amount TO nothing, though Mr.. Pendle
ton may see that she is represented

A Mares Nest.

The Gazette has discovered mares nest.
1t consists in the following dispatch:
George 81. Pendleton has telegraphed
to General John A. McClernand,a lat Spring
field, as follows:
"Just got home. The condition of the
canvass in Ohio is such that / must with
draw all my appointments in Illinois.
[Signed] sGEORGE Fl. PENDLEToN."
This the Gazette considers an admission
that Mr.Pendleton believes the prospect in
Ohio to be very bad for the Democracy !!
Most wise and sagacious conclusion Oh!
"Dogberry." 1t never occurred to him
that Mr.. Pendleton meant that, while alb
sent, his friends had made so many ap-
pointments for him in Ohio, which votes in
October, that he could not, without neg
lecting them, go to another State, which
has later election. That was the condi-
tion of the canvasses, and Mr.. Pendleton
wisely acted upon it. But if his continu-
ing in Ohio is an admission that this State
is doubJful,it must be conceded that he did
not go to Illinois because he believed it
was not necessary-that it was certain for
the Democracy anyway 1t is poor rule
that won't work both ways.-Cjn. Enquirer.

A very amusing incident of travel is re-
lated by gentleman of this city as having
leading into Utica, New York, the home of
Horatlo Seymour. A number of New Ad-
ventists were aboard the train, returning
from one of their religious demonstrations,
at which the doctrine thatthis world would
wind up its affairs about the first of the
new year had=been extensively held up.
Two of them sitting near him opened a
conversation on the election prospects,
when one remarked: r, 4re7o & o-zsT.

The Meeting In N1imin.

- ~ GAHANNA, Sept. B, 1868.
Ore of the largest and most enthusiast
tic meetings that has been held in Gahanna
for many years, was held on the 9th OF
September last, on which occasion a hick-
ory pole was raised, one hundred and six
teen feet high. After the raising of the
pole the Blacklick band, all good and
staunch Democrats, led the procession with
their stirring music to q grove west OF the
creek, where Mr.. Delaney made noble
and stirring speech, and was followed by
Col. Groom in few and appropriate re-
marks, stating that it being late he would
not have time for general discussion, and
the meeting adjourned, giving three hearty
cheers for Seymoura and Blair, and three
more for the speakers. The meeting will
be long remembered by the Democracy
who were present. must add that har-
mony and good order was the character of
the meeting. The RAIDS looked very solemn
and chop fallen, and limited around that
the pole could not be, raised. Old Mifflin
will make good report. sioa

The Grant Tanners.

In advising the formation Of GRANT Tan
ners to aid in the contest, the Springfield
Transcript claims that the men forming
these associations are just the kind of
Tanners that GRANT was, and to show that
this is so, it quotes from General GRANTS
biography, by his father, as published in
the New York Ledger, which says:
HWork in the tannery was something
which Ulysses never fancied. He would
avoid it whenever he could. He
would rather do anything else under the
sun than work in the tannery. We lived
In sort of hollow, and the village was on
the hill. When / said to him. We shall
have to go to grinding bark he would get
right up, without saying a word, and start
straight for the village, which was the last
OF him that day"
This, we presume, is the reason why
men, whose hands were never soiled by
manual labor, call themselves GRANT Tan
ners. They will themselves be tanned most
effectually this fall. and by being deprived
Of office, made to try their hand at getting
an honest living by honest work.

Accident TO n Daughter of Gen.

A correspondent OF the Chicago Journal,
at Cheyenne, August 26, gives The follow
ing account of the accident to General Sher-
mans daughter: -gttsE tr
Generals Sherman and Augur passed up
Sunday evening to Fort Saunders, on a
trip to Idaho Springs, Colorado. Gen.
eral Sherman brought with him two of
his children, a young girl of fourteen or
fifteen years, and son. On Monday, the
little girl took horseback ride, escorted by
Lieutenant Male, of the Twentieth Infan-
sry. The horse was thought unsafe, but
a lady who was skilled in horsemanship
had rode him, and the party left in high
spirits to explore the beautiful scenes near
the Black. Not long after both horses
came into the fort riderless. the Generals
with Generals Gibbons and Potter, being
out hunting in an ambulance, were soon
apprised of the circumstance, and started
in pursuit of the riders. About mile or
80 out they found the girl lying insensible e
and Lieutenant Male supporting her head.
The horse had run away, and the girl
jumped off, striking on her head and hands.
The Lieutenant dismounted to succor her
as he best could. She was conveyed in the
ambulance to the post, and medical aid was
soon at hand. .5.-..,t -..-.

Remarkable Incident.

A most remarkable Incident of the meet
ing held here last Saturday evening, was
that Col. Richard McClain, the Chairma n.
and Gen. Morgan and Col. McCook, who
addressed the meeting, had, twenty years
plains of Mexico. who each ,on the plains of
Palo Alto and Vera Cruz won for them
selves a national renown and the gratifica-
ton of their patriotism and valor. Again
in our recent sad civil conflict each of the
three drew the sword and in their country's
defense sought the tented field, and added
new laurels to the glorious renown their
twenty years ago. All the three, the heroes
of two wars with the lapse of twenty years
between, and each of them to-day Demo-
crat, are ardent supporters of Seymour and
Blair.-Coshocton Democrat. : asaF

The National Debs stin Increas.

The special correspondence of the Gin
cinnati Commercial, which has, with other
Radical sheets, denied that the public debt
is increasing, has under date of Washing
ton, Sept. 9Th, the following admissions:
The public debt statement, for August,
will be out on Monday. Besides payment
for Alaska, there is an increase of some
three millions of dollars for the month";
The internal revenue has fallen off, and the
army expenses have been pretty heavy,
which accounts for the increase.
So the debt is still increasing-the inter-
ternal revenue falling off, and the Army
expenses, in keeping the South in state
of subsection to Radical and Negro rule,
accounts for the increase.

The Radical Senate Keeps n Pen
itentiary Convict i'm Office.

The tenure-of-offiee bill, by which the
Radicals keep their friends in office, is well
illustrated by the case of JOHN H. ANDER-
SON, who, some months since, was suspend
ed as Collector of Internal Revenue of the
4th District of Virginia, for corruption in
office. A successor was nominated to the
Senate, and charges upon which suspension
was founded accompanied the nomination.
The Senate, for some reason, held the mat
ter under consideration for several months.
Meantime ANDERSON was indicted and
found guilty on the same charges and sent
to the penitentiary. Some time afterward
the Senate rejected the nomination of AN
DERsoN's successor. but concurred in the
suspension OF ANDERSON. Thereby, under
the operation of the Tenure-of-office act,
this singular state of case occurred, viz:
That ANDERSON, convict in the peniten-
tiary, was restored to the Office of collector,
Notwithstanding the Senate concurred in
the reasons for his suspension.
