Bad Men II the Pa-ty--No Discount on tha::.

Bad Men il the Party--No Discount on tha::.
''Therc are bad men among our State
officers, and they can put me out for
saying so if they please - so says Land
Coam;Ssionos DeLargc, AID similar dis
agreeable things are being said by others
Of the Republican party, anG just so are
large numbers Of the co;ored people be-
ginning to think and see. Bad men in
the party! yes, as bad as men can be
made down in Ohio, from which place
most Of them have come, and so bad that
they care no more for the colored man
than they do for stepping stone, and
whom they will drop so suddenly ere
long, that they will scarcely be able to
realize that such change could possibly
come over the carpet-bagger's dream.
Bad men who care only for self, and not
4 button for the black man who has
helped to bring them ori cf poverty and
place them in alilucnce. For is it not
known now by the colorcd people that
these advcrturcrS came here without one
dollar, and are now worth their thous-
ands, and are they not nov beginning to
see where they got this money from, that
it came oat Of the pockets Ct the people,
and out Of the public treasury in swim
dies Of every variety and shape. Don't
they row know that the lard commission
Vas a humbuggiag swindlc, and its
agents the yeriest swint;lcrS in the coun-
try, and that instead of being benefit
and blessing,a as it was pretended should
be the case, in giving or selling to the
poor man land in such Quantities and on
such terms rs would enable him to be-
come a possessor, that nothirg Of the
kind has been done, that no man has
got into homestead yet, and never will,
so long as the pct.baggcr's pocket is
so deep, but that on the other hand
thousands and thousands Of dollars have
been stolen on the strength of this hu-
manc plan by these fellows, and in one
case net less than ninety thousand dol
lars were stolen and divided between
nice little party Of them ? Don't they
know all this, and much more. OF
course they do, it is getting too plain
where the loaves ard fishes are all going,
and that the poor, honest black man IS
not only being LETT ont in the cold as to
Office, bet is being robbed Of his little
hard earned money, made by the sweat
Of his brow, in taxes. Oh yes, there are
bad men in TIE ring.
They are waking up to the fact also,
that muSkets, big dcums, little drums,
fifcs, &C., don't pay, and that they are
only so many bats to catch their votes,
and re: only that but all these gather
iugs are loss in money to them, because
Of time wasted and crops injured, and |
for %hich 70 remuneration can be ex-
pected from the party who have been
promising so much for Eve years! We
are glad to SIC these signs Of awakening;
they are seen in the lack Of enthusiasm ,
at manMof the last Fourth Of July pa
radcs, at no one Of which from all !
accounts have the turn outs been at all |
up to former occasions. The fact is, these !
people arc getting tired Of this kind Of
thing, it does not even bring them a good
paradcs ard gatherings
md they 50 back home invariably tired,
hungry and dropping, unless some Of
.heir white friends, the men who have
ever been ready to help them, give them
. neal No radical ever does that, no,
not one, and thus will it continue, if
:hcse bad wen are not put out foliice and
honest men put in their place. This is
lie business in hand now, and it behooves
very man. white aud black, who wants
'eiorm, to come up sqaarcly, sand work
to that end. The Union Re-
orm party is the means through which
lis can be donc.
Commencement at Due West
Promises to be unusually interesting,
nd many have gone from here 70 attend.
