THE ONLY ISSUE, AND THE CASE WELL

reference to the coming election for Gov
ernor and other State officers, very proper
ly remarks: "Thc only issue before the
people in the present canvass is, are the
disfranchised portion Of our citizens to be
restored to equal rights with the rest of
their fellow citizens and with negroes, or not2
"There is no middle ground; che that
Is not for us is against US" The Demo.
cratic party has always contended that re-
bells so-called, should be placed on an e.
quality, under the laws, with other citi-
zens. The Republicans, as a party, have
opposed it, and have continued proscrip-
tive policy which has been of great detri,
ment to every interest Of the State.
"Some of the better class and more in
teligcnt of the Republican party. have cut
loose from party ties, and come out boldly
in favor of Il removal of ell disabilities.
at is hard, indeed, that whilst the ne
Gro is exercising all the rights and privi-
ieges pertaining to citizen, that so large
a portion Of our Xpayin9 aud intelligent
people are denied all political rights We
have nothing to say in regard to negro suf-
fragc, at this time. 1t is fixed fact.
Whether it was wise or unwiso step,
time will develop We honestly opposed
it, and still protest that it is fragrant
wrong imposed upon the States, without
the consent of the States, without the con.
sent of the people. But it is useless "lo
kick against the pricks" The powers that
be have forced it upon us, and now we on.
ly ask that our white citizens be at least
placed on political equality with the ne
gro. Is it possible that there is white
man in this or any other county of this
State who has fallen so low that he is will
ing TO sec his own race trodden under foot,
while on inferior ono is elevated to place
and power? We blush with shame to ac-
knowledge that there are such But we
believe that the election in October will
prove that they arc few in number. And
we are led to believe that the result Of the
election will be the occasion of general
exodus of carpet baggers, when the num-
Der will be lessencd. We appeal to every
honest man to know if, for the sake Of par
ty power, he will consent to the continued
degradation Of his own race We leave
it with your honesty, Republicans--as men,
whether You will stick to party and their
negro allies, or will fall in with honest
mcn and secure a victory for your race and
for the right" by voting, at the October
election for john j JACOB, the white
