Swallowed their homes-his ignorance
compeIs him to be silent. Illiterate.

But the General is loyal. True, he
did not distinguish himself in battle,
but then he boarded away the Govern
eminent money, and consumed the
Government whisky, and insisted that
the negroes were as good as any of the
COTS. Possessing legal lore that
would disgrace the meanest pettifogger,
and learning that the humbIest peda-
gogue would not envy, he already enjoys
a position of honor and trust i'm
measurabIy beyond his capacity. Yet,
"Cursed be gold that gilds the Strengthened
6 forehead OF the fool!
his ambition is not yet satisfied, and he
desires to represent this district in the
council halls Of the nation, and legislate
for the benefit of the black man, through
whose influence he hopes to secure his
election. 1t is said by distinguished
French traveller, that in the forests of
Africa, the lion distinguishes between
the white man and the negro.
Knowing from experience the courage
and skill Of the former, he hides
himself in the jungle at his approach.
Knowing equally well the cowardice
and stupidity of the negro, he boldly at
tacks him and rends him as he would
a lizard. But orr ambitious and sue
cessful General does not possess the
brains of the monarch of the African
wilderness; but is devoting his feeble
intellect for the oppression OF the white
and the advancement Of the black race
to positions socially and politically for
which God has no more qualified them
than he has General Golf for n seat in
Congress. But the General is wealthy
and if certain other insects should die,
would be Weather still. Then. too, he
is an aristocrat,
"For his ancient but ignoble blood
Has crept thro' scOundrels ever since The
flood"
The only apology the Radicals can
offer for his want OF brains is that his
father is wealthy man, that the Gen
eral is the son-in-law Of another and
the nephew Of third May his ashes
be scattered on the waters .JURA.
"BEICK" PoMEEoY, the able and fear
less editor OF the New York Democrat,
addressed large meeting OF working
men on Tuesday, June 2Sth, at Altoona,
Pa. After giving the laborers some
good advice; arraigning the Radical
party for destroying the Union, usurp-
ing the rights OF States, and establish
ing centralized dcspotisn at Wash
ington, and dcnouncing the Fifteenth
Amendment, Brick" concluded in the
following red hot aud effective man
ncr:
The people of the New England
States demanded that we must hate the
people of the South; that we must he
kind to the negro. Now, let Us see
what New England is now doing. In
stead Of opening her shops and giving
employment to the thousands and
thousands, who, by the acts of Repub-
licans are declared our equals, they are
bringing ship loads of Chinese to
take the place of white labor, driving
white men into poverty and compelling
them to work for one-quarter enough 10
support their families. And why
Simply because Chinese labor is cheap
simply because for SIC per month they
can employ man to labor. No matter
how many thousands Of white men are
turned ont of employment at Lynn and
North Adams; no matter how many
widows suffer; no matter how many
orphans 90 supperless to bed; no mat
ter how much wages are cut down, the
only object OF these loyal Puritans be-
ing to make money for themselves, that
they may buy more members of Con-
gress, enslavc more workingmcn, and
control this government for the benefit
OF an Infamous, accused aristOcracy.
