to their Fourth Of July powwOw, indi'
Gates n more rapid progress toward Re.

ted from so slow General. From man
who used to put Union soldiers on guard
over negro slaves, while their masters were
fighting the battles Of the rebellion, II is
encouraging TO hear that slavery is dead
dead let 1t remain forever" The Cen
eral adds that, "The negro has a right to
vOte-let him keep ii; but strive to cdu.
cate him to fitness for the high privilege
conferred on him. ,SLOl0 him ichO his real
friends are, and ne icW ereHtndily turn IN

take II, means that the negro must be
taught that the Democratic party are "his
real friends"-a rather labOriOus task to
impose on the Democracy. The negro
will prove himself to be even more stupid
than the Democracy ever asserted him 10
be, when he consents to imbbe that lesson.

purpose OF aiIording disguise to a scheme
Of absolute reputation, TWAS proposed
To issue an enormous flood Of grcenbacks
for the immediate payment OF the Govern.

have been complete reputation Of the

obnoxious features TO demonstrate his
