Mr.. Sumner and Mr.. Schurz say this
is no time for hate, for prejudice that
we should forget the Rebellion and
RebelsNand bury the past. We agree
with them to this extent, that whenever
the vilest political sinner shows evil
dence Of genuine repentance, we
would give him an the aid possible !;
we would treat him with Kindness
and regard-but we would not, nor
never shall, favor placing the party
composed of such men in power. It
is utter folly to do SO, and though it
may seem harsh to say it, we never
theless, declare that those who favor it
by the election Of Greeley, are some Of
them deceived, but the greater part,
moved thereto by unworthy and dis.
honest motives.
Yes! Mr.. Sumner, Mr.. Schurz, la,
aside prejudice and hate; but before
you counsel it toward Rebels, pleas,
to lay aside the ungoverenable rag
and hate, you possess, towards the ms n
who at the head of our gallant soldier
saved the nation. Talk not to us 0
reconciliation, of christian brotherl,
kindness, when for eighteen month
past the scholarly attachments and pol
ished rhetoric, which you both posses
to such an emminent degree, has beer
taxed to its utmost to pile up invectiv,
upon invective, SANDER upon SANDER
and abuse upon abuse, upon the name
of Grant; man whose deeds in be-
half of this nation and of political
progress in the world, and whose char.
acter for integrity stands far higher
up the ladder of honor and Of merit
than the combined deeds of dozen OF
either of you. 1t is folly for you to
plead for forgiveness when hate inten-
ssilied to its hottest Juror makes fools
and ninnies of both of you.

Mr.. Sumner boasted that his letter
had made North Carolina sure against
the administration. He thought it
would divide the colored vote in the
middle. IL it did, then the Republi-
cans must have gained enormously in
the white vote. If it didn't, then the
Republicans gained both in the white
and the colorcd vote. Perhaps Mr..
Sumner had better write another let

his influence on the Southern elections.

LYING

Never in the history of pc.
litical campaigning, have we heard
such persistent and base falsehoods ut.
tered, as are now being peddlcd out
by that same old rip of party, which
caused the death of million men, in
its traitorous attempt to destroy the
Union.
A new recruit to that party, who
during four years in Congress, (cho-
sen thereto, by soldiers, then suffering
and dying in tho South, by thousands)
J. Il. Grinnell by name, is not excelled
by the chicfest of the old brood. He
made speech at Evanston, ILL.,, on the
18th inst. His first falsehood was that
for four years there had been no Re-
publican party, but that it had been
Grantism. This is the man who has
been acting with this Grant party up
to last fall, at least, and asking favors
at its hands.
Two years ago he wanted to be the
short term Republican United States
Senator: last September he wanted to
go to the lower House of the State
Legislature, and asked it from the hands
of his neighbors in his own county,
and they refused to give il to him.
He then for three years at least follow
ed this Grant party, as he calls it, eter-
nally asking for Office, until it is pos
itively true that those who know him
best, and the warmest friends he ever
had, got so tired of his everlasting inn
portunities for Office, that they had rath-
or meet decent "yallers dog at any
time than to come in his way, for he was
sure to want something. Further, j.
T., said that Mormonism flourished
now, as it never flourished before. He
knows that directly the contrary is
true. Next, in speaking of Henry
Wilson, he said of him this: He had
thought .tit crying shame for
the militia to disgrace their uniforms
by placing them on the backs of Cath
Ole Irishmen, or infidel Dutchmen.
Now J. B. did not say pointedly that
this was part ola speech Of Senator
Wilson's, as the organs of his party
published, but he cunningly put it SO
that it should be the inevitable infer
cnce, by saying that Henry Wilson SO
thought. J. b. Grinnell knew when
he uttered those words, that he lied.
wickedly, deliberately lied. We have
been satisfied for two years past, that
j. 3. Grinnell had become utterly reck-
less in his political character, and we
give it as our humble opinion, that in
no sense has he now an honest hair
left upon his head, His conduct for
two years past forces us to the conclu-
sion that he is utterly shipwresked i'm

II. GREEN DAVIDSON,

When the real, thinking Democrats of
Livingston parish decide to try 7. G..
Davidson by bis actual record as public
man, there will be different judgment
from that rendered by the sef-appointed
and informal assemblage which met at the
"place Of business" which means the
crossroads store Of Mr.. Garig, last week.
It is none Of our business to interfere be-
tween Mr. Davidson and his constituents
in any matters which relate to their local
disputes and controversies, for concerning
these we are not informed sufficiently well
to assume the offices Of an arbitrator; but
it is our duty when we discover that
public officer is being condemned I'M
Justly upon an accusation that is I'M
founded, to interfere in his favor with
correct statement to the jurors who are
called upon to try him. The assembly at
''Garig's place of business was not even
what it pretended to be, an informal meet
ing of the Democrats Of Livingston par
ish, but it was tribunal assembled to
convict. 1t proceeded upon an ca parte'
relation to denounce and deliver over to
execution long trusted agent, not after
due hearing, but upon false counts and
one-sided agument. And the judgment
was delivered without even being support
ed by statement of the pretended facts
upon which it was founded.
we suppose the judges and ezecuioners
in this trial will not take it amiss if we
give the supposed reasons upon which
they proceeded to this extremity against
Mr.. Davidson, since they have not seen
proper to put the public in possession of
the official indictment.
First, then, Mr.. Davidson was charged

BELMONT AND GRANT.

Our remarks upon Mr.. Belmont's course
in influencing the Democratic committee
to call the National Convention at Balti-
more, and ascribing it to a secret under
standing had with President Grant, find
confirmation in the Western papers. The
fact was too patent to be long concealed
for whether the actuating cause be Bour-
bon anti-progressiveness or the promised
use of million or two of the idle funds
in the New York sub-treasury, the result
remains that, so far as being removed from
the corrupting influences of the White
House is concerned, the Democratic con-
vention might just as well have met in one
of Boutwell's vaults as an hours ride away
at Baltimore.
That sterling Democratic journal, the
st. Louis Times, prophesies failure for this
attempt to betray the Democratic party to
a last fatal defeat, and declares that de-
spite the Vaccinations of few ambitious
and scheming leaders, the great mass of
the people have determined to and will
support Greeley and Brown under any
combination of circumstances. "The only
way to restore the Union is to defeat
Grant by the election of Greeley" says the
Times-and it warns Mr.. Belmont, the
Chicago Times and the New York World
that for the welfare of then party and the
country, ''they must abandon their oppo-
sition, which found its first practical ex-
preston in the designation of Baltimore
as the place where the Democratic conven-
ton is to be held. But we have no hope
that the inducements and prospects which
led to their league with the military ring
will be abandoned until the voice of the
party, speaking through its delegates. de-
nounces their plottings as the basest of
treachery, and the character of those dele
gates becomes, therefore, of the great
est Importance. Should a majority be
gulled into the belief that they can run
straight course to a Democratic victory
through the gap in the Republican ranks,
they will, surely as truth exists, find they
have fixed Grant as ruler over the nation
during his own good will and pleasure.
Again we ask, what side will Louisiana
Democrats align upon?
