SPIRIT OF THE PR ESS.

The Atlanta Nc1C Era says: "Sumner
is man of brains and character, and his
name would lend responsibility to new
departure, which cxcites so much unchari-
table comment touching the sincerity of its
champions. Let the Democracy act sensi-
bly, and nominate Mr.. Sumner"
The Houston (Texas) Union says: "The
Democrats call the Republicans 'nigger
party because the colored people vote
with them. The Democrats would be a
niger party to the same extent if they
could. But the Republicans sincerely de-
fend the rights and promote the education
of the colored people. The Democrats
would not do that; they only want the
colored votes.o
THE Boston Post somewhat cruelty
says ''If Mile. Schneider contemplates
an American tour in her artistic capacity,
as we recently announced, this marriage
will prove mastery stroke of business.
The reverence for titles which charactclizes
republican simplicity will attach to her po-
sition a new interest, and purge even the
famous Schneider wiggle' of all immoral
suggestiveness."
THE Harrisburg Journal says "The
getters up of a Workingman's Party are
men actively in the interest of the Democ-
racy, who are well aware they can not in-
duce an intelligent mechanic or working
man, who votes on principle, to support the
Democratic party. This makes it necessary
for these intriguers to get up third party,
which no intelligent mechanic or working
man will support"
The Utica Herald, after describing a
model statesman, says: "Such a man is
Ulysses S. Grant, the best abused man in
the country. Firm in the right, he heeds
not the clamors of greedy office-seekers,
nor the revilings of his enemies. Their ar
rows of malice and slander hurtle harmless
ly around him, while he faithfully dis
charges the duties of President of the Uni
ted States-not of any section-and draws
CLOSER and closer to him the hearts of the
Rpeople.'
SPEAKING of New Hampshire, the De-
troit Tribune says: "We have no tears to
shed over the result. 1t demonstrates again
what the Labor Reform and similar third
party movements mean, and for such les
sons at proper intervals it is not bad in
vestment to pay something. II does not
prove, however, that New Hampshire is not
Republican, and as that State elects Gov
ernor annually, she will soon have an OPP
portunity of setting herself right. In the
interval the Democracy may well make the
best of their short-lived triumph"
THE New Orleans Republican says -
"There is pleasant difference observable
to the most indifferent between the cheer
ful and softening influence of Mr.. Greeley,
scattering peaceful words at every turn as
he travels through the South, and the harsh
and discordant notes which Mr.. jeff. Da-
Wis takes occasion to rasp out as he parades
the country in the interest of life insur-
ance company. The one carries the olive
branch, and the other halts along with a
broken sword. Where Mr.. Greeley goes
the flowers of friendship bloom again by the
wayside where Davis travels the night
shade overcasts the scene with its gloom" /"
THE New Orleans Times Oem.) says
"The Radical Imperialism at Washington
is to govern and control these Southern
States through the suffrage of the ignorant
and credulous negroes, led by far worse
and more dangerous class Of demagogues
than those to whom the peasantry of
France look to for their guidance and drec-
| ton in the exercise of their suffrage. 1t is
ITO this result the Vallandighamsts demand
that the National Democracy shall submit.
And the intelligence, the moral and social
power, the great majority of the white race
of these States are expected to shout and
hurra for the champions, who are to bear
the standard Inscribed with this lofty senti-
ment and the expression of this profound
Wisdom!u
