The Privileged Glasses.

/
The Cincinnati Inquirer sums up the
following as comprising some of the priv
ileged classes under the present Radical
dispensation.
l. The bondholler. He is exempted
from all State and local taxation. He re-
ceiyes his interest on his bonds in gold,
while everybody else has to take his in le-
gal tenders.
.. The Southern Negro, who has a
Freedmen's Bureau to look after his in
terests, and to feed and clothe him if he
don't choose to work
3. The New England Manufacturer, who
receives an immense bonus in the protect
ton TO his fabrics, all of which comes out
of the pockets ofthe laboring classes, who
are compelled to buy them.
/ The Railroad Monopolists, to whom
Congress has granted tracts of land
enough for empires, out of which they can
build their roads and have great deal to
spare \ few favored men have thus
voted 10 them, free Of expense, great
railroad.
). The Congressman and Legislators
who sustain these privileged classes in their
rascalities upon the people, and who are
made partners on that account in the
robberies.
6. The immense army of Ofice-holders
who live upon the unclean, drippllngs Of
the Treasury
1t is the party opposed to the Democ-
racy which, by the act gifts leaders, has
brought into being these privileged classes
and upon which they mainly rely for
their continued existence. 1t is no won.
der that, with such immense interests
fastened upon the body polite, and draw
ing its hearts blood, the country has ceas-
ell to flourish, and its great resources are
beiug dried up.
The great issue now is, whether the
people have intelligence enough-whether
they sufficiently appreciate their own in
terests-to rise in their might at the COM
Ing elections, and put an end to these
privileged classes and conditions of men.
The latter are struggling desperately to
maintain themselves, and are resorting to
all the appliances of corruption for that
purpose. Where there seiS venaI press
they obtain 1t e; where there is speaker
or writer of purchasable material they are
sure to have his aid.
The acts of Congress and many OF the
high officers of the Government show that
they are mortgaged, body and soul, to
these privileged classes and conditions of
men. They are powerfully entrenched in
ali the politcal strongholds Of the coun-
try, But they can be beaten if the peo-
pie so will tiff they are not led astray
bv demagogues who fire their party pre-
judices and infame their party passions,
in order that they may not recognize their
true interests, and continue to be here
after, as they arc now, the vaSsals of those
who are so grievousIy expressing them
NEGRO CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS-
We clip the following from the telegraphic
column of that "truly loiI" sheet the Har-
risburg State Guard:
"The negro Bradley is out as an indie
pendent candidate for Congress from the
First Georgia. district against Cliff the
regular nominee and the present represen-
tative to Congress. 1t is believed that
Bradley will be elected if he runs. Turn
er. negro, is spoken Of for Congress in the
fourth"
These are signs of the Radical politi-
clan millennium which is to come if Grant
should be elected LET US have peace"
SPLINrERs.-The most disagreeabIe of
ices-Sacriiices.
Uncomfortable feet--Surfeit.
1t was suggested to a miser that if he
could take his gold with him when he died
it would most likely melt.
The men who fatter women do not
know Them sufficiently; and the men who
only abuse them do not know them at all.
Better to give than receive-Clapping
a kiss on pretty girls lips when she is
yearniug for something sweet and good.
1t is an old sayiug and true one that
God helps those who help themselves. In
an immense majority of cases the circum
stances by which men suffer themselves to
be overcome might be controlled aud sur
mounted by vigorous effort
Butler must not be regarded as sue
cessor to Cataline, although his voice is
still for war.
Summer resort for Grant-Rye Beach.
g A few days since seventy-two
MANNED soldiers of the late war stepped
into the office of the pension agent Of
Canandaigna, N. Y, to draw their pension
money. Afterwards, these patriotic SOL
diers held an election for the Presidency
in the Pension agents office, and with the
following result: For Seymour and
Blair, II for Grant and Colfax, /. We
know this to be true statement of fact -
If any one doubts it, let him write to the
agenl in whose office this very remarkable
and significant expression took place.
