The Two Parties.

The Republicans believe that God
made of one blood. all nations of the
earth.
The Democrats believe they are the
only race who ought to control the affairs
OF this world, on account of their being a
superior set of creatures.
The Republicans have always believed
that HUMAN SLAVERY WAS NEVER
RIGHT.
The Democrats had that as the corner
stone Of the late filibusteripo. Confcde-
racy.
Republicans do not believe in blood
she'd
Democrats made war for the extension
OF slavery, and wanted to open the Afri
can slave trade.
Republicans believe in education, free
schools, free churches. and an obedience
to the laws.
Democrats have been opposed to schools,
burned churches, and have got UP mobs
to .overpower the laws. and set them
aside.
Republicans believe all men born with
equal rights.
Democrats oppressed the poor white
and black Of the South. and made his
condition one of slavery.
Democrats went into an armed and
bloody rebellion against the United
States.
Republicans fought them ION that line
all summer; and
The Democratic party got whipped.
The Republican party did not.
The Democrats are trying to elect
gentlemanly "friend" of mobs and have
another war.
The Republicans are going to elect a
man called Grant, who has said,
"LET Us HAVE PEACE"

Who does it?

On recet visit to to Fayette County,
we learned that as in Comal and Hays
counties, the men who fought for the
!"lost cause are now collecting taxes
There gentlemen ride around on their
mustangs, (horses) booted and bell
spured revolvers slung to them, and de-
mand taxes Of the colOrd men.
Some times the tax is for owning a
horse, Or dog, or hogs or for being a
Blacksmith or a Carpenter.
We cannot advise what to do i'll these
cases, for If they don't pay these infam-
ious black mails, out comes the revolver
and the inofencive coloree man is shot
or manned. If he does do it, then the
gentleman is followed by another, and
another as long as the poor fellow has
any money.
Then again there is the road tax, and
and a hundred other excuses to get the
the money from the hard working col.
ored man. Ip
+ Where the Freedmans Bureau has
been established they cannot collect
these illegal taxes. Thus we see that
one OF the reasons why the Democrats
hate the Bureau. is because it spoils that

Some of the Freed people in
the country, have raised eighteen
or twenty bags of cotton. (Which
by the way shows that the col
ored man won't work,)
The generosity of the late
master is shown in the fact,
that they charge in some places
one half the crop for ginning ;
and another half for transport
ing it to market.
We advise the colored men
to buy their land, and then buy
their own gins. Buy the land

Our Letters.

We are in receipt of a very handsome
letter from George Jackson of Cotton Gin
Freestond County. We have nearly a
hundred subscribers in that county, and
the people like our paper.
He wants to know how long the min
listers should preach. We cannot answer
that; but we believe that when any meet
ing is over two hours long, it is unnatural
The excitement is not good, and now
there is some education, we hope the old
plantation shouting will be put away, and
the pure gospel preached from the Bible.

Is Ii So (!

I'VE are the friends the color
ed man." says the Democatic
party. And they prove it by
killing off the colord man. every
time they get chance.
Look from Fort Pillow to the
last Freed man murdered, and
ask who killed him, or them.
The answer comes every time;
a Democrat, or Democrats!
Sometimes it is qualified by
the term, ga stranger" orr a
mob" But whittle the thing
down, and IA Democrat did it all
the time.
We cannot therefore explain
how they are the best friends of
our people, unless we conclude
they like them so we'll that they
want to send them to Heaven

Democratic Dodge.

In Tennessee, the Democrats
have been making thousands OF
counterfeit greenbacks TO buy
votes with for Seymour. Be
careful then, about taking any
thing in the shape of currency
unless you are quite sure they
are from good man.
Democratic greenbacks, of
1868, are no better than Demo
cratic grey-backs during the Re
bellion.
Democracy is repudiation.
