The Democrats IN Lancaster
are making themselves alto
gether lovely to the colored
people, in order TO get votes-
It must have been better than
a play 20 see such Democrats
as Daugherty, John M. OonnelL
and Newton Schlelch on the
stage aud taking a prominent
part in an otherwise exclusives
ly colored demonstration. Con-
nell seems to have reached
such a pitch of ethusiasm that
he was ready to claim that he
was at least an octaroon, him
self And Schleich never felt
SO good since McGroarty died.
The city Of Lancaster, you see,
is in danger of falling into Re-
publican hands, and the De-
mocracy find it to their inter-
est to ke sweet on the colored
folks. Rev. James Poindexter
OF this city showed them just
how far MGt would go.-OAi0

toned by the little curly faced bo-
vines of the Bourbon press of this
State, is both sensible and practi-
cal, and puts the matter iii the fol-
lowing pointed style:
We suppose that after a while
those of our cotemporaries who
have gone off half-cocked upon the
new departure matter, and are fight
ing shadows with all their might,
will come to their good senses, and
see that they have acted with pre-
cipitation. We take it for granted
that not one of them has taken the
pains to read the Ohio resolutions.
We see nothing in them but old
fashioned democracy and are glad
to pin our faith to them. New de-
parture is a misnomer and applied
ignorantly and spitefuly, for
throughout them all runs the time

struction of the constitution and

With his master mind.
Don't forget dear mother,
With her turrowed brow,
Once as fair and smooth, and white,
As the driven snow;
Are the steps uncertain:
Is her hearing poor:
Guide hss gently till she stands
= Safe at Heavens door.
Don't forget the old folks,
Love them more and more,
As they, with unshriRking feet,
Near the "shining Shore
Let your words be tender,
Loving, soft and slow;
I.et their last tiavS he the beSti
They have known below.
