for 4 country that lad just begui
to recognize their manhood, thi
party condemned the measure il
every term Of violence AID re
proach.
When the war closed every Dem
ocrat refused to vote for the Thir
tenth Amendment, and althou d
freedom was then an accomplished
fact, and this measure was simply
carrying out the nations pledge
Every member Of this party voted
against the FourteontliAmcnlment,
which simply conferred citizenship
and protection upon all the peo.
Iple Of the United States. Their
opposition to the Fifteenth Amend
ment is too fresh in your memories
to need comment.
If this warfare against freedom
and human rights had been carried
on with arguments, and in a digni-
fed manner, we might respect it.
But it was a warfare made up Of
bad faith and low preiudices, and
carried on with foul epithets. II
there is anything sacred in freedom,
and criminal in slavery; anything
honorable in patriotism, and dis
graceful in treason and disloyalty;
if there is glory associated with the
memory Of the Heroes of Gettys-
burg and Chickamauga, or shame
in the memory Of Andersonville and
Belle Isle, then is the record Of the
Democratic party record Of infa-
my and shame.
And this character still adheres
to the Democratic party. Even
now they denounce the Fifteenth
Amendment, and propose, if pos
sible, to tear it out Of the Consti
tuition, or, at least, if they get pow
er, repeal all laws that give force
to the new provisions guaranteeing
freedom, citizenship and suffrage
to the American people. Let no
one suppose that these are idle
threats. They are made in earnest
and will be carried out if that party
can get the power.
Ofthe Republican party it is
enough to say that it is the oppo-
site of all this. 1t restricted slave
ry 1t put down the rebellion. 1T
freedom, citizenship,
protection and equal rights to all.
And now it proposes to make its
attainments only the start
ng point of the natioh's honor
md glory.

A Turkish Lunch.

| never wanted another one. The
cooking apparatus was in the little
lunch room, near the Bazaar, and
was all open to the street The
cook was dirty, so was the table,
and it had no cloth on it. The fel-
low took mass Of sausage meat
and coated it around a wire, and
laid it on the charcoal fire to
cook. When it was done he laid
it aside, and a dog walked sadly in
and nipped it. He smelt it first,
and probably recognized the re-
mains of a friend. The cook took
it away from him, and laid it be-
fore us. Brown said, pass. He
played euchre some times, and we
all passed in turn. Then the cook
baked a broad flat wheaton cake,
creased it well with the sausage,
and started to bring it to us. 1t
dropped in the dirt and he picked
it up and polished it on his breech-
es, and laid it before us. Brown
said, 81 pass" We all passed and
called a new deal He put some
eggs in a frying pan and stood
pensively prying slabs of meat
from between his teeth with a fork.
Then used the fork to turn the eggs
with, and brought them along
Brown said, "I pass" All follow
ed suit. We did not know what to
do, and so we ordered a new ration
OF sausage. The cook got out his
wire, apportioned a proper amount
of sausage meat, spit on his hands,
aud fell to work. This time, with
one accord, we all passed out. We
paid and left. This is all / learned
about Turkish lunches. A Turk

Speech to the Colored People

We make the following extract
from a speech made by D. w
McClung, few days since to the
Republican Colored people at Ham
ilton, Ohio:
"You must, therefore, choose be-
tween the Republican and Demo
cratic parties. Choose We this day
whom ye will serve, The condem-
nation-of the Democratic party is
that it has opposed everything that
has been done in behalf Of freedom
and good faith and sound govern
ment for the ten tremendous years
now closing. Fifteen years ago the
battle of freedom began. Before
that time the two giants, Freedom
and Slavery,under various masks of
tariff, banks, taxation, State rights
and>municipal regulatins, had strug-
gled for the mastery. But in 1855
they laid aside subterfuge, and with
visor up and lance in rest, closed in
deadly couact..
The issues of the contest is seen
today. Millinns of men then slaves
now enfranchised freemen, and
throughout a regenerated and dis
enthrallcd nation are seen the quick
ening and enersizing effects of a
perfected freedom,
What Of this Democratic party +?
When freedom modestly asked
simply that slavery should no more
extend its baneful influence, this
party resisted the demand. They
assumed to be the watchmen upon
the walls of Satan's Zion, and
sounded the alarm. Their watch
word was ''no restriction of slave
~" When this question was set
tied by the election of Mr.. Lincoln,
the Southern Democratic party
went into rebellion, and the North
ern wing into sullen Gisloyalty.-'
While one wing fought the Gov
ernment the other wing opposed
every measure that could make the
war against the rebellion successful.
When the proclamation of eman-
cipation was issued it was de-
nounced in the most Incorporate
terms. When colored men were
allowed to take part in the contest

Can Mr.. Smith be Elected2

\ We learn that some Republican
who are not well "posted" in re
gard to the political prospects il
this Dictrict, baYe suffered them
selves to become respondent anC
hopeless as to the chances of Mr.
Smith for reelection to Congress
For the encouragement of such, W.
wish to state few facts.
Mr.. Smiths majority two years
ago, when he ran against one of tho
strongest Democrats in the District
was 343. 1t is estimated by good
Judges that the colored vote Of the
District, will be at least 1900 larger
than ever before, under the operat.
tion of the 18th amendment. But
we'will call it only 1000 larger, To
keep within bounds, which added
to 343 gives Mr. Smith l343 ma,
jority Col. Loudon will not poll
more than from 600 to 700 votes
in the District, about 500 Of which
will be in Brown and Clermont
counties. If he should get 700,
Mr. Smith would still have a ma
jority OF 943.
Many think our estimate Of Col.
Loudon's vote too large, by sever
al hundreds, and our estimate of
the increased colored vote too
small. But we think our figures
will prove not far from correct,
and that Mr.. Smith will be trium-
phantly elected by not less than
800 majority, and it may reach 500.
1t must be remembered too, that
Gen. Denver, the Democratic can
didate, has not proved as strong
as was expected. His nonresident
in the District, and want of iden-
tity with its interests, his dueling
records, his participation in the
abolition war;" as many Demo
ctats still regard the struggle for
the preservation Of the Union, and
various other causes, have produc-
ed an Indifference and want of zeal
in his behalf, with a considerable
number of his party, some Of whom
will not support him. This will
reduce his vote below that OF Mr..
Barrere two years ago.
We say, then, to the Republicans
of the District, there is no cause
to be discouraged. You can elect
Mr.. Smith, in spite of the desertion
of Col. Loudon, Judge Sloane, DR.,
Smith, c. s. Bell, and their little
insignificant faction, who are only
intent on the election ofGen. Den
yer, while protesting to be Repu6-
1icaRS!
All that is necessary is that every
true and loya1 Republican shall go
to the polls himselfand see that all
his Republican neighbors do the
same. The only danger of our de-
feat lies is the feeling to which we
referred in the outset, which pre-
walls among a few Republicans,
that because of the Loudon bolt it |
is of no ase to try to elect Mr..
Smith. We have shown the con
.rary to be trne, and we now call
upon every Republican in old High
land to do his duty and all will
oe well,-High}aRd Ne,cS.

YOUNG WOMEN, you don't know
how much influence you have
over young men, If you would
labor earnestly, we should not have
so many dissipated young men in
our land. Do not let them fill the
.drunkards grave. 81 don't believe
we have anythingto do with young
mems getting drunk" Think a
moment. Did you ever do any
thing to prevent them? Did You
ever go with a young man when he.
had been drinking a little? 81 be-
lieve So" Well, did you think as
much of him as you did before he
drank? mo" You did not let
him know it, did you? 'No." You
should have said to him: " If YOU
drink, l will not go with you any
more" You might have saved him
from drundard' sgrave. VIII you
say to the young man who is at
tentive to you, that yon do not
mean to 60 with any young man
who drinks one drop Of liquor?
He may shun you for few DAYS,
but he will think of it, and will
make up his mind that YOU are
right, for what woman wants a
drunken husband?

What the Republican Party
has Done for Labor.

1st Among the first acts of the
Republican Congress, after some
necessary measures to resist the
Democratic Rebellion, was the
adoption of the Homestead law IN
der which, the whole mass Of the
public domain is opened to the pos
sessions and ownership of the Ia.
boring man, upon the condition of
settlement and cultivation, at the
nominal price of $40 for 160 acres.
Cd. Provision was made by which
this vast property is largely en-
HANGED in value, and rendered ,ac-
cessible to men Of limited means,
over the lines of the Trans
continental Railroad, the CON
struction of which, had been delay
ed under Democratic rule, by the
fear that free labor might possess
this rich inheritance, to the exclu-
sion of slave labor.
3D.. The whole system of ser
vile labor was abolished by the Re
publican party, in spite of the uni
ted and persistent opposition of
the Democracy in Congress and on
the battle field.
4th. Again, the whole mass OF
Iunrequitted labor was lifted to the
dignity of the country's defenders,
thereby giving it enlarged opportu
mites, enabling it to command the
attention and the sympathies ofthe
nation, and rendering its future
subsection to bondage absolutely
impossible.
5th. This whole class was en-
dowed with citizenship and all its
rights and advantages-against all
of which acts, the Democrats, in
Congress and in the States, re-
corded a united negatiye-yet it is
easy to see, that each successive
step added immeasurably to the
dignity and power of labor
9th. The whole remaining pub |
lie lands of the South, were reserved I.
from sale, and appropriated to the (
exclusive use of actual settlers, by
which, the landless laborrs ofthat |
section, come to the ownership, Of
more than 45,000.00O acres, sulii-
cient for half n million of homes Of
so acres each, and by which, also,
the further progress Of land mo-
nopoly in that section is forever
stopped.
7th. 1t has given guaranty by a
solemn and unanimous declaration
Of the House Of Representatives,
that the future land policy of the
party shall be in the interest of in
dividual occupation and ownership,
and opposed to sales or grants un-
der conditions which will admit the
further growth Of personal or cor
porate monopoly.
Sth, And finally it has given
practical evidence of its fidelity to
the principles Of land distribution
to actual occupants, through its or
ganized land copmittces, and in
the defeat of numerous land grant
bills, at the recent session Of Con
gress.

l,Tis nm old. old story I'm going to toll,
AS set and listen TO the restless swell,
or the prairie wind, as II dushcs up.
And refreshes the earth from It's far on cup.
Long years ago, under our old home roof
We were so happy and sorrow proof;
JOY reigned with us from dawning to dawn
For we were all there-not one was gOnoi
The warnings OF '6l then came,
| But we thought our peace would be the same
'TIll brother win, in his suit OF blue,
| Went forth one eyeningin dusk and dew,
"IIe win soon come back, T." our father said.
/ As into the house the group he leli
| And kneeling there the breeze did toy
| With whitened locks-he prayed Tor his boy
| My mother with waving raven halr,
| Knelt sObbng by the vacant chair
And the wind went moaning sadly by,
And she softly whispered, darling boy"
Then soon we heard from far away,
That our BOYS were drawn up for the fray,
And waited to hear from the gallant band
Who had gone down there to tree the landJ
But who can tell the fearful pain,
When rider dashed up the dusty lane,
And told us our boy had gone to sleep,
Where the waves Of the Mississippi sweep.
My mother turned with sharp, sharp cry,
My boy, my Willet went there 10 die"
Then we knew that her heart was broken,
And dread fear came like an evil token;
Her sad, sweet face, remember WELL
And She went away her grief to tell
TO God who dwelt the cruel blow,
And laid her boy by the waters flow.
Then for the sake of the dear ones left,
She buried the grief that thus berelt,
And still in life she sang a song,
