ready possess We ask you to beware. and Nth the eye
OF an eagle watch these allurng demo9atic enemies,
anu wth tsdanrul suspicion turn away from their
deceptive bids and h0neyed words which they will
employ 10 entrap you into their ranks. Their oily
snatch from you those rights which YOU hold para
mount To life ITSELF and return you that barbarOus
demoralzng institution out of which the struggling
Tears ol republicanl5m has brought you.
Had 1t not been for the faithfulness Of the republic
can party to you and US where would we not have
not have been subject to Had it not been for the
faithfulness OF this party to that undying truth ut
created free and equal freedom and YOUR inherent
rights would have at this hour been slumberng in
the womb OF the mysterious future Centuries
might have INTERVIEWED between master and slave
and still this idea OF the black mans freedom would
not have visited the Imagination of your democratic
foes. The lapse OF a thousand years. and the Freed
mems Bureau, civil rights, reconstruction, &c.
would have been but strange conceptions In the
Drains OF these pretended democratic friends to say
nothing OF the cOlored mans acting as lieutenants
captains and majors In the American army, and act
ing IN civil government as police, aldermen, council
State &c.
You are now upon trial, for the first time, in
Presidential contest and millions at home and
abroad are anxiousiy predicting and watching the
course you will pursue, which is TO decide whether
the colored man Is u man, and whether he can dis
criminate between his enemies and his friends.
You are TO decide in November next at the ballot
box, with your legion of nine hundred thousand
political warriors, whether republicanism shall
triumph by which American liberty is to be perpe
tuated or whether you will desert the ranks Of the
army OF the republic and go over to your enemies:
NO, God forbid that single black man should cast
MS vote Tor any other than the nominees OF the great
republican party. Let the embodiment of your poll
tica salvation, General U. s. Grant and COlfax, be
perched upon your every banner.
1t IL our anxious heartfelt appeal that you be true
to your race, your country and your God by voting
for General q. s. Grant and Hon. Schuyler Cofax. in
whose keeping your liberties, the liberties OF the
American people, are safe. And now, brethren, our
last expressions are that in the accomplishment OF
this great work trials await you. Your enemies will
irst entreat, then threaten. They will bring up be-
the line OF your duty to yourselves, to and to your
God We entreat you. turn your back upon these
threats as upon the appeals OF the enemy and prefer
to die rather than to desert your principles.
Political Notes.
There is a general cessation throughout the South
ern States Of the violent harangues OF prominent
ex-rebss which followed so closely on the heels Of
the nomination OF Seymour and Blair. The South
ern press also has moderated it's views TO consid.
cradle extent. and read very little now about the
glories Of the defunct confederacy.
Both parties have completed their nominations for
Congress in West Virginia. The election will take
place on october o. The following are the names
OF the candidates.
Districts. Republican. Democratic
t-General I: II: Duval. ....... Henry s. Walker
Iii.-Generai J. s. Witcier r Moore
Senator Wilson has gone to his home in Natick,
Mass, 70 recuperate for the woi6 which he has laid
out in the canvass. He will go into Maine first.
The Atlanta Ga.) Era pertinently says
The violence and abuse OF the Southern disunon
press are fast destroying with the people what Is
called democracy" 1t means present AMI future
ruin to every material interest south Of Mason and
Dixon's line.
The Boston correspondent OF the Hartford Post
writes:-
Our next Legislature will have Senatorial election
upon Its hands, and 1t Is generally regarded as
settled matter that MF. Sumner Will be re.
elected for his fourth term. These are many
republicans In Massachusetts, who would pre-
fer little different man, but Mr.. Sumner is
able and 1t will require very strong and a
very popular man to run him or the track. There is
disposition among the conservative republicans to
support Charles Francis Adams, and in case Of his
nomination the democrats would probably vote for
him If their votes would defeat Mr.. Sumner. But
the democratic papers are going in so strongly for
Mr.. Adams that both he and his republican friends
are likely to get disguised. II the democrats want
to help Mr.. Adams to place in the Senate they
should better enjoin silence upon the Boston Post,
New York World and National I1ateuigencer for tile
present.
