1.-THE colored men who stand
by the State in its hour of peril,
daily prove themselves capable of
any trust. They put to shame
their accusers among the cabal
who have joined with the Democra-
cy in the war upon the State. Look
well to the Garter crowd, and see if
a true friend of the people is to be
found among them. If SO point
him out. Let us know who among
the throng of ne'er do well can call
himself friend of the people, when
doing nothing for the public them
selves, are hourly putting their
heads together to prevent others
from doing, or undoing anything.

To the Hon. o. H. Brewster and Mem

'By the revolutionary and illegal

KEEPING AND BREAKING
FAITH.

fault, and the reform movement
mapped out in the message began
and ended in a single day. Were
the opposition made up of any
other elements besides those which
enter into the composition of a mob,
blind from personal prejudice and
crazed with the fury which belongs
to the enemies of all good govern
ment, this step would be hailed as a
move in the right direction and the
foes of the administration would
strike hands and join in with the
good work. But no, the reform
already accomplished is reviled and
and spit upon in venom.
We pronounced the reform advo-
Gated by Carter as catch-word to
lure the populace into his support
and deceive the unwary. Were
their protestations sincere, can there
be excuse or pretext for the
continuance of this base design,
this plot to ruin the government
of the State? Men who have anx-
iety for reform do not spurn ad-
herents in the work, much less re-
fuse, peremptorily to cooperate in
its completion. Do the lockers on in
this contest need any more argument
to prove that Carter and his men
are simply seeking their own ag-
grandizement q? 1t were an easy
matter to enchain the public sym
pathies when the skeleton of the
House of Representatives made the
form appear as ekeing out mise
rable existence because they were
working for reform, which was op-
posed by the body of the House,
the Senate, and the Governor. But
when their own platform is carried
out, what then join these patriots
together ? 1t is easy to see what
influence coheres these self-sacrif-
cling spirits in conspiracy. 1t is
their personal interest. The Gov
ernor pledged his influence to
the unmaking of those laws
which, by the way, in their most
Objectionable parts were enacted by
the Carter men. The very instant
such repeal was possible it was
done. Still the conspirators kept
aloof But reform was as far from
their real object as Heaven is from
hell. Now, no longer able to stir
up popular ebullitions with sham
cries of reform they are really un-
willing to accomplish, without desire
to join the sincere representatives
eff the people in undoing whatever
their predecessors may have done
miss. The movement has simply
resolved itself a band who have no
,ther end in view but to destroy
he Republican party and surrender
he State government to the men
Who were swept out of political ex-
stence in '68, to those who call
themselves Democrats without right
o the title. All predictions against
his set are verified. Wherever
heir thoughts find oppression we
would point to the language alone

o the employment of the whole
lphabet of slang, are incapable of

WHAT WE WANT.

-0-
The Democratic party supported
by its Customhouse allies, demand
the repeal of the Printing, Militia,
Election, Registration, Constabu-
larry, School and other Acts obnox-
ious to the Democracy of the State.
We will suppose for argument that
these Acts are all swept from the
Statute books in obedience to the
persistent clamors of this party.
Let us suppose that the vast ma
jority of our people in this State
are RENTED to the condition in
which they were prior to the pass
age of these laws. Let us suppose
that the people of the parishes, de-
fenceless as they would be, are
called on to vote, or to exercise the
functions and privileges Of their
new condition under such circum-
stances.
Is there any doubt as to the total
deprivation of their rights by fraud,
intimidation and violence And
when this occurs, would it not amount
to a total overthrow of Republican
rule +? This is unquestionably what
the Democratic party want, what
they are straining every nerve to
accomplish, and what the Republi-
cans in association with Carter are
assisting them to gain. And the
Republicans SO acting know that
this is the case. They know that
Reform" is not the real word they
would use /; they are afraid to say
REVOLUTION" and overthrow of Re
publicanism, but that is their de-
sign is too manifest.
Now what do we want .? What
do the Republicans and especially
the colored men among them need
for their people? When you have
parted with all the laws that alone
give protection, enlightenment, and
civilization to your people, what do
you propose to obtain for them
from the Democratic party, who
your successful strife must put in
power? These are questions which
t is imperative should be pressed
on the consideration of every repre-
sentative colored man in that con-
tending crowd. We want to know
on the part of the colored people of
this State who will be the wronged,
defrauded, outraged classes, what is
to become of them and their dear
est interests when the bulwarks for
their protection are broken down.
We want to know what benefit the
negroes in this State will reap, if in
order to appease the wrath of a
fraction, their Representatives place
them at the mercy of their most un-
and unreasonable enc
mics.
Our people approve of Reform"
Is much as any other class, but for
he sake of RIGHT, don't let repre-
sentative men give our rights away
md obtain nothing in return. This
s not reform, nor anything like it.
t is a series of attempts to sap
he foundation of our security, and
o render the success of Republican
SIN problemetical. And once more
We appeal to the colored men assist
ng these efforts to consider the eff
ect Of their conduct upon the peo-
lie.

American people, whether or not a
legally constituted government is to
be overthrown merely because its
chief executive is supposed not to
be friendly to the President of the
United States? Why, sir, am L,
why are you, Senators, why are all
the officers who constitute part of
this government, the'government of
our State, to be put at the mercy of
an organized mob; mob composed
of the enemies not alone of civil
government here, but opposed to
civil government anywhere; opposed
to the government of the United
States-enemies who fought for four
years to destroy that government
Il say, are we to be put at the
mercy Of this class, simply because
it is supposed that H. e. Warmoth,
Governor of Louisiana, is opposed
to the denomination of General
Grant for the Presidency? If this
be. the fact, what is to become of
Illinois? Don't we know that du-

Lassitudc and Debility.

The relaxation Of nervous energy which
creates an indisposition 10 physical or men
tai effort, so strong as almost to amount to
positive inability, and which we term lassi'
tude, proceeds from a variety OF causes. The
principal of these are constitutional deoil'
ity, heat of the atmosphere, coupled with
humidity, climatic changes, and the phys
ical prostration consequent upon long ILL
ness. But whatever the cause, it must be
perfectly clear that if the nervous system is
unduly relaxed, something is required to
brace it up. That something is Hostetter's
Bitters, which is universally recognized as
the most complete and speedy recuperant
of the physical forces in existence. 1t has
been SO thoroughly and widely demon
strated as to be matter of positive certain
ty and familiar knowledge, that the Bitters
will not only rehahilitate the physique,
when shattered and wasted by disease, but
will also, If taken systematically, actually
compensate the constitutionally feeble
frame for its deficiency of strength, and by
inflsing new lite into weak system, en-
dow il with the health and vigor which
Nature has denied 1t. The Biuers also ena-
BILE the body to resist the enervating infiu-
ences of heat, humidity, and changes from
a temperate to a hot climate. 1t is on these
accounts specially TO be recommended to
travellers and residents in the torrid zone,
and persons subjected to abrupt transitions
in temperature.

EFFECT OF RAILROADS.

According to the Plain Dsa'cr the
real estate market is tending up! up
in Cleveland, and property is changing
hands rapidly The marked feature Is
the number OF cash transactions
Euclid and Prospect streets seem 10 be
the streets most preferred, and have
advanced TO prices that four years ago
would seem almost fabulous. Along
the Nicholson, from the station to
the Village of East Cleveland, there is
a great demand for lots for building
purposes. A real estate firm whose
transactions were half a million dollars
yearly in 1870 and 1871, sold in the
month of January and up to the 9th
OF February, 1872 $20S,OO0.
The Dealer continues: Since the con-
templated building Of the different new
roads to the city we have been visited
by men from all sections south OF US
to invest in real estate, men Of property
who intend coming here to live as soon
as the new roads are completed. We
hear OF one gentleman from Canada
who invested $4,000 this week for
speculative purposes. Property has
advanced in all parts Of the city at
least twenty five per cent. since the first
of January, and we continually hear OF
sales by parties who have scarce held
their purchase week and making
their hundreds and thousands Of dollars.
One OF our real estate dealers made a
purchase few weeks ago OF piece OF
property on the West Side which he
held scarce week and sold for $4,000
more than he paid. But few Of these
sales are for speculative purposes, but
are mostly made Of property for business
purposes and residence. Builders state
that there never has been such demand
for buildings in the city as at the present
season. One Of them informed our
reporter that he had already received
applications for bids on five large
residences on Euclid avenue and
Prospect street. On the West Side the
same activity prevails, and quite a
number of contracts for houses and
large buildings are being taken of.
Never has Cleveland promised such q
rapid growth as during the coming
season.

AN officer Of the Government signal
corps has been stationed at Harpers
Ferry, IN this State, for the purpose OF
giving information as to any rise in the
river there. In case of a sudden freshet'
it is thought timely warning will save
vast amount of property from destruc
ton on the banks OF the lower Potomac
river. Several results OF q disastrous
nature have occurred from q sudden rise
on that river and the placing of signal
sentinel at the point named is good
move
