The Old Flag.

We again place the Old Flag at the
head of our columns where tor SO MANY
dark years Of war and rebellion it hoated
through tidings of victory and defeat, and
from whence it was only removed when the
banners of rebellion were trailed in the dust,
and the armed enemies of the country 2es-
troycd or captured and when the hero Of
Nicksburg and Appomattox found no arm
ed foe to offer resistance to the laws on
violence to the Old Flag. Through the
treachery Of Andy johnson treason has
again been made respectable in those parts
OF the country where it so long defed the
power of the nation, and the trained bands
Of the rebellion allied with their copperhead
partisans of the loyal States have set them
selves in battle array under their chosen
leaders, to regain the power which they lost
in the downfall of the rebellion; and the
patriotic millions, choosing their old leader
U. 5. GRANT, are preparing to fight the bat
tie anew for the cause which so many brave
men died to preserve The Republican par
ty have chosen leaders this time in whom
there is no guile, and are moving on the
lines the enemy where he is entrenched
behind the whisky ring, gold rings, and other
corrupt combinations. This time the Re.
publican masses are determined to make a
clean sweep of the rebellion, and compel
traitors to take back seats. Under GRANT
and CoLFAX there is no such word as fail
and our enemies, boast as they may, and as
sumo to put on bold face, feel that they
are already beaten. The Presidential ticket
Of the Republican party is nail in sure
place, and when the 1rosts of November tint
the landscape the shouts of millions of free.
men will announce the second defeat and
rout OF the rebel party by the hero OF Rich
mond, and, we trust the final triumph Of
freedom over slavery and the cohorts OF the
slave power.

The Negro Vote,

Washington letter TO the Louisville
journal says that when the Democratic Ma
tional Convention meets, July 4, Il resolution
will be offered by some of the Northern del
egaes TO the effect that the party pledges
itself to resist the counting Of any electoral
votes determined by the admission of negro
States that the attempt by the Radicals 10
secure power in that manner by defraudug
the people of their inherent liberties in the
selection of President will be resisted, if
necessary, with armed force, and that the
legally elected President of the white race
Shall be inauguratcd if it requires even a
million Of bayonets to install him in the
White House.
The Cecil Democrat copies The above
morsel with very fattering approval, cx,
claiming ''That's the kind of talk - it
might have added, that we used to toady the
slave drivers with, when they were swearing
they would divide the Union if not allowed
to rule it; but when the "million Of bayu.

such sheets as the Cecil Democrat, were
called for by the chivary, they heard moth.

in place of the serricd legions, promised by

we hear the same cowardy poltrons again
| talking about - million bayonets" The
electoral votes of the Southern States will
all be counted, notwithstanding those val
liant threats, aud they will be counted for
Grant and Colfax, too; and not Copperhead
will dare so much as lift pin in opposing
the inauguration of the con9ueror of their
Southern masters whom they so reverence.
But for that matter, the Republican can
didates will not require the vote of the
Southern States for their election The hero
of Appomattox is dead sure of the lions

nothing, as the " legally elected candidate "

promptly did, when by bribery and other
