duced into our national system, eating and
spreading, like huge and foul cancer, is
seen to break out in spots all over the coun-
try; here and there, however, the disease
is to an extraordinary degree apparent, re-
sultingin an alarming destruction Of nation
al resources. Pittsburgh, one Of the Mon
grel holes of Pennsylvania, is afflicted with
this destructive virus. Gapgrene has set
in, and she is threatened with general cav
ing in. Her howls are as full Of grief and
terror as those of the manufacturing towns
Of New England. Pittsburgh politics are
as dingy and dirty as her atmosphere. The
Mongrel hue Of her dwellings and ware
houses conveys the exact tone of her politi-
cal sentiments. The rottenncss Of. the COM
mercial structure of this country to-day,
which has eaten into the manufacturing and
business interests of Pittsburgh, and which
she is lamenting over, that politically dirty
city worked hard to bring about 1t was,
and yet is, the blackest hole west Of the
Alleghanics. Tic Mongrel yell Of niger
ism, and the war upon the South, went
up louder from that then busy spot than
from any other place Of its Size and promi-
nencc in the wholecountry. 1t is now reap
ing the fruits Of it. Her manufacturers,
iron, glass, farming implements; nails, -four,
&c., including her coal, Aoated down the
Ohio and Mississippi yearly, and returned
with the sugar, cotton, tobacco, rice. and
other products Of the South. Then Pitts.
burgh, spite of her political sins, was pros
porous and happy. Look at her now.
Factories and workshops closed, and thous-
ands Of her men, women and children idle,
wandering about in search Of employment,
or begging for subsistence to live upon.
Pittsburgh is not the only locality in the
country which sent forth its political curses
upon the poor South, to have them return
ed with compound interest. Those curses
are just coming home to roost m'1s Boz

white men, for the benefit Of white men and
their posterity. The negro has no claims
upon tho white race that they are bound to
respect, and the sooner tho laboring classes,
the great mass Of the electors, understand
this, the better it will be for them. Nearly
four millions Of blacks are now being sup

result of the teaching and government Of
tho Black Republican party. Not only are
