represent it as revelation of Gods
will to part Of mankind-fhe
tchite race only.
BE says sit is a history ofthe deal
ings of God with the white races,
beginning with the white man Adam,
concerning the Lawgiver Moses,
represented by the Prophet Priest
and King Jesus Christ, who came
as a missionary to teach his soyer-
eighty and law, his precepts and
promises to white men.
Oh, DEAN hast thou forgotten
Christs commission, and dying
charge to the Apostles, "Go ye in to
all world, and preach my Gospel to
euery creature, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, Son, and Holy
Ghost2n Did'st never read, how
that the Revelator saw among the
redeemed of the Lord, great multi
tude which no man could number,
redeemed out of every nation under
heaven, people of every kindred,
tribe, and tongue? He says, s'the
gospel may be accepted as q rule Of
life for social, religious, and political
government of the tChiterdees." Then
you hold that the. .colored races are
not amenable to the executors Of
divine statute, as the law is not inten-
ded tor their government, either
socially, religiously, or politically.
Did they need the restraints of the
law less than the white races? Do
they not need the restoring grace of
Christ, as presented in the gospel?
Not only the white, and colored
races, but the very earth on which the
nations dwell, felt the shock of mans
transgression, and was cursed for his
sake. The covenant of love embra-
ces all that the hand of sin marred,
or blighted; and takes in
IAN who love the Lord,
OF every age and CLINE;
The hosts Of saved ones from the ends
The wise in matter andin mind.
King, Prophet, hero, saint, and Bard,
The greatest soul and least.
The old and young and very babe,
The maiden and the youth;s
All reborn angels of one nge,
The age of Heaven and truth
Mr.. D., says, "there has not been
one:crime committed in the horrible
programme Of anarchy, and death,
which has not resulted from the
Foundation lie, upon which we have
reared our fabric" If 1t should be
found that 'sthe foundation lie," had
its origin in the over taxed brains of
q politician of the eighteenth centu-
ry, and that the temple of liberty is
in no way dependent on, or intlu-
enced by it, what becomes Of the
necessity OF repudiation on the ground
that Mr.. d., pleads for it? 1t is no
part of my purpose, to plead for, or
against reputation, only as it may
be affected by exposing the false rea-
soning OF the world renowned orator,
who murders truth, and character
alike, without mercy; and who would
be applauded were he to try to prove
BY divine inspiration, that a Eve
man, was a dead dog, or that God
only created, and redeemed, white
men, and that "Draco, or the Devil

SOMETIMES.

The following is one of Mr.. Prentices
little waits, so many of which appeared in
the Louisville Journal in its pa Imlest days:
'Sometime-It is q sweet sweet song,
warbled to and fro among the topmost
bourhs of the heart, and filing the whole
cir with such JOY and gladness as the songs
of birds do when the summer morning comes
out of darkness, and day is born on the
mountains. We have ali our possessions in
the future, which we call sometime"
Beautiful flowers and singing birds are
there only our hands seldom grasp the one,
our ears hear the other But, oh reader be
of good cheer, for all the good there is
golden sometime" when the hills and val
legs Of time are all passed when the wear
and fever, the disappointed and the sorrow
ef life are over, then there is the place and
the rest appointed of God Oh, homestead,
over whose roof fall no shadows or even
clouds aud over whose threshold no voice
OF sorrow is ever heard built upon the
eternal hills, and standing with thy spires
pinnacles Of celestial beauty among the
palm trees of the city on high those who love
God shall rest under thy shadows, where
there is no more sorrow nor pain, nor the
sound OF weeping "sometime."

SENATOR WILSON spoke, in congress, the
other day, of the humane and Christian
politics of President Grant toward the In
dams"
In October, Sheridan wrote to Sherman.
saying he wanted "to steal on the Indians in
mid winter, when they would be defenceless,
and strike them hard" Grant knew of this
plan. lie knew of the proposed wholesale
assassination. He did nothing to prevent
it. A word from him would have prevented
it. He does not rebuke Sheridan, or pro-
pose that he shall be punished.
How do these facts correspond with the
protested desire of Grant to settle the Indian
problem by humane and Christion policies
The policy to which Wilson referred was
the employment of Quaker com missioners.
Those commissioners are now in session III
Washington. They denounce the Piegan
butchery. They demand the punishment of
Sheridan, They present incontrovertible
proof that the butchery was one of the most
brutal infamous, and cowardly ones that
ever was perpetrated. Will Grant bring
Sheridan to justice? Who believes it? Who
belives that the president will not employ
his office to shield the man who planned the
butchery?

THE PIKGAN VICTORY"

General Sheridan takes high ground on
his Piegan massacre. He issues an address
to his troops and tells them he takes pleas
ure in announcing the death of ] 70 Indians,
though by some oversight he omi,s to state
that 80 Of these were women and so chill
dren. The blow he declares q carefully
prepared" one, and altogether his position
IS, that it is a good and fine thing to do
murder like this. Perhaps, in thus impu-
IDENTITY defending an atrocity which has
shocked the whole American people, Gen.
eral Sheridan relies on powerful influences
to maintain him against the just indignation
his conduct has evoked. One comrade sits
in the White House another is at the head
OF the army; is he, who is thus provided,
to care what rsbblement of mere civilians
tit for nothing but to pay taxes, may say :?
Certainly it looks as if this were the opinion
of the Lieutenant General; and, if SO, to
the original insult offered the American
people by his brutality is added direc,
affront to the President and General Sher-
man in thus parading them, as it we're, as
his defenders and spologists. The receiver,
says the proverb, is as bad as the thief; and
he who can uphold the slaughter OF sick
women and children is not less brute than
he who peipetrstes so monstrous asavsgery.
We cannot for an instant believe that
General Sherman will permi, himself to be
drawn in to any completely like this.
But this is q particular view of General
Sberdan's congratulatory order, and there
is a much more extended reflection 1t is
not the frss time, unhappily, that an officer
in civiliasl service has disgraced his colors
by such an assassination, but, so far as our
reading goes, there never have been any
congratulatory addresses issued on the
occasion. The perpetrators generally have
either sought to shield themselves under the
plea of "orders,' or, where this was not
possible, bent in guilty silence to the voice
of popular reprosch. General Sheridan
strikes out a new path from these old prece
dents. Having notably distinguished bis
crime by the heretofore unknown ingredient
oi schhess among the women slain, re Sui
further departs from the beaten track by
pronouncing his performance praiseworthy
and a proper thing. The popular voice, j.
Is true, had manifested itself in no uncertain
accents Of adherence but perish the
thought he should regard that who had been
deaf to the promptings Of nature itself.
Hence comes this order, which felici.ates
which congratulates, which cries out bravo,
down with some more women and children
and d. the mob, The issue is plain.
On tine one side stands Philip Sheridan to
maintain that. being red, women and chill
dren are lawful prey; on the other stands
our good estimation in Chrstendom-w I?
