of straps to keep them in place will be
necessary. The fashion will doubtless

THE MISSION OF THE REPUBLI-
CAN PARTY.

The Republican rarty has the broad
est base possible for political party, It's
object is the elevation of man as man, not
the elevation of the lower orders to some
thing higher in rank, but the full devel-
ment OF a man to his utmost capacity with
no lines of distinguishing drawn amo ng
men, except such as this development of
each man may make We do not pro
pose to make The condition of the lower
orders as tolerable as possible. We will
have 40 lower orders. tndustry shall be
respected in every department., aud a
mans rank shall be just what he makes
of himself where hc is. It is in this
spirit that the Republican party has TAX
en- hold of the enfranchisement of the ne
gro. We do not propose to make the ne
gro white man, bat we do propose. to
make the best negro of him possible. He
is now ignorant We mean to put him
to school. He will be good deal more
of a man after he has been to the com,
mon school, land has learned to read the rad
ical newspapers. He does not know much
about politics. But one cannot learn to
swim without going into the water. We
mean to give the negro practice in the art
Of voting. Witha little practice we shall
be surprised if he does not develop as
much wit in that exercise as many white
men show. The motto of the Republican
party is: "Give every one his chance"
If we follew out that motto, if there is a
failure anywhere, it will not be our fault.
10 the coming campaign we shall have a
great deal of prejudice. to meet on this
question of the treatment of the negro.
But VIC shall be successful Just as we
throw our heart into the matter. If We
present the eLfranchiss ment of the negro
in an opologetic manner we shall lose,
If We do it openly, on the broad ground
of principle, we shall win. Boldness is a
prime element Of success in politics as
elsewhere. 80. j.

AREELECTIONS TO BE CONTROLL-
ED By CONVENTIONS

Ia commenting two weeks since ON the
defeat of Mr.. john Malloy, the democra-
tic candidate for City Treasurer, at the
last charter election, perhaps the infer
ence may be drawn that we intended to
represent to Mr.. Malloy's friends that he
was the only regularly nominated candi-
date of the democratic party in this city,
who ever suffered defeat, and was slaugh-
tered in the house of his friends. Such,
however, is not the case by any means.
TIE 60 no farther back than dozen years
ago Mr. Martin Curley received regul-
ar nomination at the hands of the demo-
cratic party for city marshal, bet was
twice defeated A little later, Mr..
Thomas Holland vas regularly nominated
for The same Office, but was served in the
same manasg ah ~ q =ef- s.'- ..5
In tAe4year 1859 Mr. Patrick Rogan
vas nominated for Senator in democra
tic convention, but when the votes of the
election were canvassed it was found that
another man who received no nomination
at all, was elected, and Mr.. Rogan found
himself wrecked on the sand bars of his
party-a defeated man, although can
didate of the "great democratic party in
our midst and having the prestige of
regular nomination" which is supposed
to carry man through in this Sec
tion, if anything on earth will. -
We hardly consider it necessary to
name over any more regular nominees
who have been sacrificed in this city at
the altar of party, although the most I'M
deserving of such treatment. We might
enumerate more if we wished, but we.
think enough have been mentioned to
show how false the rank and file of the
democratic party IN this scity have been
to Irregular NOMINEES" when it did not
suit their purposes or ideas to vote for
them. f.---......>.... .......-..,.......
We think that many candid voters in
our midst must ponder on these things,
and consider the hollow heartedness that
has controlled the councils of the demo-
cratic party of this city from time to time.
Nothing indeed can compel men to fol-
low the behests of party which has been
false to every sense of justice and right,
but blind !infatuation and ia miscopcep-
tion of the fairness which should control
political matters.
It remains with them to say whether
the letters that seem to bind them to this
party shall be broken Or not, they have
the power to break up this treacherous
political combination if they will.

LETTER FROM TEXAS.


Through the Kindness of Mr. Thomas
Moore we have been allowed to take the
following extract from letter written
him by Lieut. John Little, for a long
time resident Of our cry, and formerly
member Of the 18th Wis. Volunteers
Lieut.. Little is connected with the 35th
u S. Regulars now stationed at. San An
tonic, Texas, from which standpoint he is
enabled to see the present Democracy
and its workings in their true light. We
hope his account of things in the south
may be an eye-o pener to many Of bis
friends in this vicinity, who can see
whittier they are drifting By their blind
attachment to the Democratic party:
GLOW will Jefferson county go this all7
[ hope it will 60 Republican and any
Democrat that wants his eyes opened had
better visit the South, and talk with the
Democrats Of the late Confederacy. [
know you will doubt what [ say, and to
tell you the truth, any person when L
was at home who would tell me what /
have seen and heard since I came here,
would undoubtedly have told that person
or persons that prejudice was the cause
but no. The Rebels must be kept down
for give them power and not staunch
Union man dare to live In rebel COM
munity They hate and despise the old
flag and all that care for It, A Northern
man, no matter what his principles are,
is not safe here, unless he is surrounded
with bayonets, and that is very I'M
pleasant way to live In this county they
hung IS Union men during the war. The
murderers are rebels yet, and vote against
a convention, and wish Northern Democ-
racy success, in order that once more
they can do as they please. IF they get
into power, the. good Union men may
leave, or await their doom by assassination.
In the North we think that Southern
Democrat is like unto one in the North,
but there is much difference. The Dem
ocrats of the South are all rebels. When
[ vote Democratic ticket, Ivote for the
rebels of the South. When [ vote a Re
publican one, I vote for the Union men
of the South The Union men of the
South wonder how the people of the
North can vote against them, but they do
it. You can't geta Union man of the
South to vote Democratic ticket.
''You will excuse me. for making this
half sheet political letter, for when [

one word politically, but to show you the
difference, the Union men of the South
vote the Republican ticket, and would Mt
vote any other, while the Democrat Of the
North votes his way to preserve the I'm
ion, while the southern man for the I'm
ion thinks that would sunder it /; such is
the difference. John LITTLE
