Great Republican Moral Ideas!

Is not vet disposed o. however much
he may have been rung upon the
changes of politics, religion and society.
Pull as you may upon the heart
strings of the moral physique, the con
science will not yield to crime, nor the
soul to folly
Partisan frenzy may for time stul-
lily the instincts OF reason, and darken
the vision Of intellect, but the terrible
atllictions which follow in the train OF
private or public errors, bring the host
OF passions low in the sackcloth and
ashes OF repentance, and the fool and
the knave, however depraved, are forced
to acknowledge that Truth is mighty
and God is king

have not been able to give as correct a
cast of Sumner as we have given Of his
brother Sambo, it i because we have
felt less and cared less Tor the former

manner of being born. The rash ex-

does not know what these vaporlngS
mean when blown from the Radical
trumpet?
To crafty mongrel malice and Pnri-
tan intolerance, the South has been
Inundated, but not degraded; the ne
gro liberated from bondage, hut no
more free and equal than before. Ills
labors are not diminished, while his
wants are greater, and his masters are
less feeling and more eXacting The
negro cannot fail to see that liberty to
him only means the privilege of taking
care OF himself, with all the odds
against him, and that there is a thou

ment. The Saxon, frienda and foe, stand
aloof. Sambo goes to Hong Kong and
becomes happy in the embrace Of the
Mongol. But the man and brother is
not yet disposed Of Another political
and social quake is at hand, All the
ignorance and superstition of two infer
Tor races are now opposed to a white
mans government. The relics of bar
barism and the pow-wows Of the Chill

republican principles, and again, for the
hundredth time in national history,
demonstrate the utter incapability OF

the people of experimental progress.
We propose to do what has never been
done before, and if we cannot do 1t be-
fore we will do it behind. We shall
soon have the universe in a sling, and
every man will be able to hold himself
out at arm s length.
