what Is the Issue?

Tho Issue, as made up by the Democracy, Is
this; to place In power every rebel who
sought to overthrow the Government to ex-
alt the white insurgents, Semnes, Hampton,
Forrest, and others, and to reduce every loyal
man, white or black, Ia the South, to State
Of degradation, or to assist the chivalry In
driving them out II is to make treason re-
spectacle and loyalty disreputable. II Is, II
possible, to reduce the oolored population to
sstate OF yassaIage but little, II any, above
slavery. The cry that this Is a white mans
Government includes in its purport the whole
OF this diabolical plan.
The modern Democrat, whether In the North
or in the South, believes and insists that a
white rebel is better, and more deserving Of
honor and respect than = black loyslist. In
other woris, the men who tried to destroy the
Government are more high minded, honorable
gentlemen and patriots than are those earnest
friends OF the Union, whether white or black,
who fought for its maintenance.
These are the Issues forced upon the coun.
ny by the Democracy, anG they win DO Joined
Ahd mere Will be no settlement till loyalty Is
crowned with victory, and treason ia made
odious, and traitors made to take back seats.
1t least for . time.

A New Hen Adhem,

Horatio Seymour, (may his troubles ceAse,)
Awoke one night, from dreams Of fear, not
peace;
And saw within the shadow OF his room,
All deep and dark with murky gloom,
An angel, writing, In q book ofbrsss,
Ofthing that were to come TO pass.
SO, to the angel In HIS room he said;
"What writest thoui" the angel raised his
head, ..f
And with marvellous look Of prophecy
Said; "The names Of Presidents to be.h
not so,n
The Angel said. Then Seymour gan to blow,
Aud rudely said; 90 pray thee, then,
Write me as one who'll never run again"
The angel wrote, and vanished. The next
night
He came, with an all-daELling light,
And showed the names the peoples voice had
blest,
And IoI GRANT's name led all the rest.

GENTLEMAN asked US the other day
when areyoi going to give up the Repub-
liean party, and have done with this everlast-
ing negro question: When you concede to
the colored man his rights when his man
hood, his citizenship, and freedom to do and to
act at the polls and elsewhere rs other men
born on the American soil or nsturalized citi-
zens OF the United States have a right to act
When you acknowledge "that a man Is a man
whatever be the color OF his skin" In so far as
civil, religious, and political rights are con.
eeoed, then we shall give up the Republican
party, for 1t will have accomplished Its pur-
pose, but not until then. This was and Is our
answer.
