| ne elections over, ana so result
ing as to secure to all men true
democratic guaranty Of life, liberty
and happiness, with the free ballot,
we may reckon the consequences.
And first, for the glorious era
Jean Baptiste Say, standard French
author, wrote large book on Polit
ical Economy in lS27--long before
the idea OF abolition fanaticism be
gan. You will find these words of
his in Chapter 20, Laws of Emigra-
ton and Production.
1.-The best mode Of retaining and
attracting mankind is, to treat them
with justice and benevolenco to pro-
tect every one in the enjoyment of
the rights he regards with the highs
est reverence to allow the free dis.
position Of person and property, the
liberty of continuing or changing his
residence, OF speaking, reading and
writing in perfect security"
The above lis no abolition vaporing,
but the words of a French philoso-
pher who afterwards wrote letters to
America commencing the glorious
Jackson. 1t is very true that long
since the believers in such faith
combined into vast political party
and that party have this very day,
Nov. Sd, 1868, elected a President of
their faith.
Now for the consequences Treat
ing all men with Justice and benevo~
will Ii Il
democratic style of government.
Protecting all men in their rights
will cause them to reverence and
obey our democratic style of govern
ment.
Allowing men to come and go at
pleasure will make men feel as frees
men.
And allowing all men to speak,
read and write, and even providing
free schools for them to learn the
better TO speak, read and write, will
insure for them and the country
more perfect security and happiness
Reader, this day the country has
insured such equality Of rights to all
men-no difference as to color, birth
place or religion A vote of the
American people has this day en-
tranchised all our own people-and a
chief consequence will be, free bal
lot to the people Of all European
countries, even to such despotisms as
Spain, France, Italy and Turkey
The Herald scndeth salutation to
all friends of liberty-the poor are to
be free, the humble are to be exalted,
the ignorant made wise, the bigoted
unclaimed, the vicious tanned and ty~
rants unseated the world over.
Friendly readers, our work of a
quarter of century is finished
Gods poor white and black people
are set on their way upward, and no
powers Of earth, none Of heaven can
change their destination. We can
not hinder the sure degradation of
those who have oppressed the poor
whites and blacks in the South God
ordalno it-just as the oppressors OF
| Israel were ordained 10 ages Of deg
radation-just as oppressors ever in
yoked the miseries Of the yoke as
| tOuJ pCHodLiOn. ~ Ut can we DlHuEE
the rise and supremacy of these poor
whites and blacks over their former
masters Almighty Sod equally de-
crees this result with tho other. The
desire is human for a removal of such
a bitter cap from our Southern broth
erhood. We could devote our future
life to any honorable means for avoid
ance OF such awful penalty. But
there is no use-the day Of Divine
favor was sinned away about the
time of John Browns martyrdom.-
Heavens ordinances are fixtures as
stars in the ornament. Tyrants
iall-the oppressed rise up-the rich
have their day-the poor await their
turn to climb the ladder. God is no
respccter of persons-He is for de-
mocracy-He balances the books
squares even the accounts of pleas
ure and suffering, of rejoicing and
sorrow, and man is powerless.
