THE SABBATH.

Fresh glides the brook, and blows the gale,
But yonder halts the quiet mill!
The whirling wheel, the rushing sail.
How motionless and still.
Six days Of toll, poor child of Cain,
Thy strength the slave of want may be
The seventh thy limbs escape the chain
A God hath made thee free.
All, tender was the law that gave
This holy respite to the breast,
To breathe the gale, to watch the wave.
And know the wheel may rcst.
But where the waves the Gentlest glide,
What image charms to light thine eyes
The spire reflected on the tide,
Invites thee to the skies.
To teach the soul it's noble worth,
The rest from mortal toll to gain;
Go snatch the brief repricve from earth.
And pass-a guest to heaven.
They tell thee in thy dreaming school
OF power from old dominion hurled.
When rich or poor, with juster rule.
Shall share the altered world.
Alas! since time itself began,
The fable hath but fooled the hour:
Each age that ripens power in man,
But subjects man to power.
Yet every day in seven, at least,
One bright republic shall be known;
Mans world awhile hath surely ceased.
When God proclaims His own.
Six days may rank divide the poor
Oh, Dives, from the banquet hall;
The seventh the father opcs the door.
And holds His feasts for al

TOMORROW.

One little word
SO often heard,
How much from it we borrow:
And build on air
Such castles fair,
For that bright day-To-morrnw.
When cares Cypress
The troubled breast,
And often when in sorrow.
We hide tear,
Suppress a fear,
And think upOn-TO- morrow.
This day goes by,
Although we sigh;
Much foom the next we borrow;
But when to-day
Has passed away,
Well have good Tomorrow.
Is it not here,
To dry tear,
And thus to sooth the sorrow?
Then why do we
Not trust in thee,
Untold, untried, Tomorrow

The last census shows that the negro
population of the United States is be-
ginning to die out. The increase be-
tween 1850 and 1860 was 81 80 per cent,
but between 1860 and 1870 it was only
1896 per cent, not quite half rs great.
At this rate the day is not very distant
when the race of cuffees, to furnish 10y

should apply early. The Bureau, and
the mule and forty acres have been n
little too much for the black man.

liberty-loving Democrats. The doctrine OF
expediency has been the cankering worm that
has eaten anu destroyed the vitals OF each OF
the old parties. Free-sol, abolition of slavery,
opposition to the General Government giving
its sanction and support to slavery, and con-
fning slavery within certain prescribed limits,
was as far as either party dared to CO. The
inalienable rights of man, the citizenship and
equality of the colored man in the American
Government, were not only practically ignored,
but ignored in all the platforms Of the parties,
or, in explicit terms. objected to. This has
been the policy that has characterized all the
political parties of this country. 1t was ignored
in the last Republican platform in Chicago.
The party has now gone ahead Of their plat.
form, in theory at least The equality of the
colored man now is well-established fact.
The failure of the Republican party to recog-
nize it and practically carry out these great
and glorious principles, will limit its existence
and, like the other parties which have lived
and died, be remembered only among the things
that were. 1t is always expedieut to do right;

are, have been in the past, and are to be in the
future. They are beginning to realize what
party it was that upheld the outrageous villainy
OF '63 in New York city, and throughout the
Northern States; they behold not friends in
this party, but bitter enemies, who, had they il
in their power, would take away that liberty
for which so many lives Of brave and valiant
Cons of freedom were given.
The true sentiment of every true aud sincere
colored man should be to still strive to advance
the cause of right and justice, which is the
foundation of the Republican platform, and
while 80 doing, he is adding to his own cause
politically and socially Had it not been for
the few remaining sparks Of corruption
which the once formidable foe (Tammany) had
sown broadcast over this section, together with
the shortness Of the canvass, the champion and
frmest friend of our race would undoubtedly
have taken seat in the Legislature an event
which, had it been mentioned by a colored man
few years previous, he would have been i'm
prisoned and probably deprived of life. Verify
we live in an age of rapid progression.
Let us look with unabating interest towards
the time when colored men wis be looked upon
by all as men among men, aud wherever the
glorious ensign of liberty waves he may
have the same freedom of speech aud privileges
which may be enjoyed by all true and loyal
citizens. G. A. b.

RICHMOND, November Is, 1871.
To the Editor Of the Ne,c National Era
Our State election for members of the General
Assembly was held on the 7th. The results of
the contest are now known to the general
public.
This city, like the city of New York, is con.
trolled by the Democratic party, and the civil
rights of the negro, as well as the great mass
Of the members of the Republican party, are
equally at its mercy. The courts of the State
are to the colored man what the Ku Klux
organization is in South Uarolina-a terror in
every county. Colored men are sent to the
penitentiary at the rate of one and half per
day throughout the year. The whole power
and machinery of the Democratic organization
of Virginia is used to destroy the Republican
party by this means. Colored men voted for
Democrats last week, not from choice but from
fear to vote otherwise, and, my word for it,
fewer voted at all for Republicans than have
at any time since the admission of the State.
The Legislature is Democratic by more than a
two-thlrds vote, and where Republicans have
been elected, whether black or white, il was
where it was as easy to have done go as it would
have been for three months old boy to turn over
cup OF water. 10 some places, or should say
in one city, parties were nominated by Re-
publicans who refused to aid 10 the election.
in presence or otherwise, and the presumption
is that the colored man has most to fear from the
non success Of the Republican party; there.
fore he must peril all that is necessary to be
done for its success. If the nominee be a
white person, thenof course it will be expected
that be will not move hand or foot but, if not
elected, then that class Of voters who were
slaves the other day are to be considered not
1T for freedom. Now, the advise of this writer
to gentlemen who heretofore have had two
horses in view, lie, either to be Republican or
Democratic at once. If Republican, then ex
pect to meet the duties of Republican; and
to be a Republican in this city is but to be
hated
We regret that our State was not repre-
sented in the Convention at Columbia, South
Carolina. Two gentlemen were elected from
this city to represent the State at large, but as
their names do not appear in the list of dele
gates, We infer they did not attend the con-
vention. A LookRR On.
