between ablunder and mistake is this:
When man puts down bad umbrella

THE WRATH OF A WARRIOR.

Gen. John A. Dix had not correctly fore
cast the North Carolina election when with
less than his usual caution, he permitted him
self to write a letter, few days before that
event, proclaiming his opposition to Mr..
Greeley. Doubtless he supposed himself to be
thereby making payment in full for Mr..
Greeleys conspicuous share on a notable local
occasion in defeating his own aspirations, and
the chance for such payment is the one
dangerous temptation which lifelong poll
tcian Of Gen. Dix's grade can never resist
We print his letter in full herewith. It's
misstatements would require correction if its
temper did not supply the antidOte. AS it
stands, it prOvOkes our attention only as an
illustration of the fierce personal denunciation
which characterizes the canvass. A Major
General for four years, without being once
under fire, had Gen. Dix fought the Rebels
one-half as fercely as he now fights the Lib
erals, he might have taken Richmond while
Meade at Gettysburg was beating Lee. But
how came any one to apDly-if any one did
apply-to Gen. John A. Dix for any sort of
aid to the Liberal movement He had been
lately conspicuous as the Whitewater of
Thomas Murphy against the positive state
ments of fellow-member of the Court. He
did not sign the call for the Cincinnati Con-
vention; he did protest against the use of his
name as Vice-President of the meeting
which seconded and Endorsed that call. Now
he lainents with many words the alleged failure
of the Cincinnati Convention to carry out its
original purpose /; but then he protested with
equal earnestness against that original purpose.
Who can have supposed Gen. Dix to be
Liberali

TRUTH and CONSISTENCY IN POLITICS.

Mr. Fred Douglass made a speech the other
day in Raleigh n. c., which is reported as
being zone of the most forcibe attacks on
Greeley yet made" We are quite willing to
believe this, as it embodes the argument
which with the great mass of unreasoning and
uncultured thinkers would have most weight.
Mr.. Douglass had not word to say against
the Liberal candidate, personally, morally OF
intellectually: he with all his other oppo-
nents), search as he would. could accuse him
neither of lack of mental force or of high
principle to guide it, nor of greed, drunken
ness, or corruption i'll the use of power.
Douglass, having different gauge of men
from the editor OF the Journal OF Civiliza-
ton, does not count white hat and mis-
fitting trousers crime. The worst indictment
which he can bring against Mr.. Greeley, there
fore, is that "he is an uncertain man, incon-
sstent a man whom you. do not know to-
"day, and can give no guess what he will do
cor say tomorrow, or what measures he will
advocate Now, this is very pertinent
reason from a man of Mr.. Douglass's stamp
for himself, but whether the fact that Mr.
Fred Douglass is not competent to understand
Mr.. Greeley and cannot forecast his action
will be a strong argument with many others,
is matter for debate. The two men represent
very fairly the two great schools of pol
iticiaDs the one bases his action on
right and wrong the other on prejudice. Mr..
Greeley took at the outset of his career GER
tain broad principles of human liberty and
justice as the rules by which should be governed
the relations of all men, red, white, or black.
AS the circumstances Of changing days
changed their positions, his defense of these
principles necessarily varied, while the prin-
cples remained the same. An abolitionist
TO the bitter end to-day, he protects the
quondam stakeholder from injustice to-mor-
row; but his own standing ground never
alters. Now this is the reasoning which
Douglass and men of his class cannot under
stand. Douglass's PRINCIPLES are. naturally

TO say that this is "a pure invention, wicked
"forgery. and an absolute falsehoOd." Yet
nothing can be more certain than that MIR.
Wilson in open Senate, anxious to make
sharp hit at Senator Benjamin, to whom he
was replying, did say OF that Senator: ~
ellis bearing the tore of his voice. his words all gave
evidence that the spark OF patriotism II 1t existed,
WAS extinct I'm his bosom that his heart In this foul
and wicked Mot TO dsm,mber the Union to overthrow
the Government OF his adopted country, which gives
equality OF rights TO that race that stoned tho
Prophets and crucifed tln Redeemer OF the world
The Congressional Globe, H0 %, 1sGl
"A good deal of allowance must be made
for the heat of debate, but nobody can deny
that this alluson to the lineage OF Senator
was out of order, and was coarse, lnsolent
and ungenerous. Mr. Wilson at the time,
no doubt, thought it excellent-now it returns
to plague him, and so does his Know-Nothing
escapade. He is angry at certain words
about foreign-born citizens which have been
attributed to him. But a man who could
speak in this way about Jews would hardly
be restrained by any sruples of urbanity and
comfy from speaking in a similar way about
Irishmen and Germars, especially in address
ing a congregation of Native American Know
Nothings.
Mr.. Wilson may think it hard that his long
buried speeches against Democrats and Wings,
against Jews and foreigners, should be ex-
humed for use in this political canvass 1t
may do no harm to remind him that the mer-
cenaries of the Administration are playing the
same game, and that le has not himself al
ways objected to taking hand in it. If the
Grant men, whether generals or privates, want
"reminiscences, they can be fully and easily ac-
cOmmOdated.

enough, perhaps, based ON the color OF
skin. Once slave, he is always
the irreconciable enemy Of the STAKEHOLDER.
1t pleases vindctive sense of retaliation that
the old master should not only be forced to
give up bis slave and suffer all the evils of
long and bloody war, but that he should con-
tinue to feel the grasp of power at his throat;
that his property should be extOrted from him
by barefaced swindling, sustained and leglti-
mized by the Government that, after all his
efforts and appeals for pardon, he should be
kept outside of his rights of citizenship, held
under foot by military power, solely that
man who has proved himself incapable OF honest
rule should command reelection, and all TINS
in defiance of law and to the actual and total
destruction of the Union which the enormous loss
Of blood and treasure of the war was given to
maintain. Douglass makes no more pretense OF
Justice or right in his platform than the simple
difference between a black skin and white.
"Ask me,n he cries wildly, 4" to spit in the face
"of my sister, ask me to insult my mother,
TASK me to stamp on the grave OF my father,
"but ask me not to cast a vote which viii III
"any way cast the slightest shadow OF nflu-
"ence in favor of those men who have so
terribly oppressed my race" White men, OF
course, can have no motive for sharing IN
this bitter and binding prejudice against the
South, and we sincerely believe that most
colored men have made good enough use OF
their freedom to rise above it both in judg-
ment and action. We regret that Mr.. Douglass,
with his acknowledged strength and opportu-
mites, has not been able to do so. He should
have learned by this time that any savage
fighting his hereditary foe can be " consistent"
but only the strongest and best of public
men have been inconsistent yet true to solid
principle.
When, however, in addition to this general
accusation of inconsistency he made the dis
tinct charge that Mr.. Greeley chad opposed every
measure leading to the present glorious free
"dom of the colored race under the Stars and
Stripes" he asserted what every intelligent
colored man present knew to be false. Not
only was Mr.. Greeley a pioneer in the work
of aboltionism, but powerful and effective
leader in every movement which has placed
the freedman upon his present secure foot
hold and enabled him best to help himself.
He has chosen to urge him to this self-hep,
thus estimating him as a rational being; while
Grant, a auondam STAKEHOLDER, who never ad-
yocated the freedom of the negro makes a
pretense of the necessity of his protection to
maintain an armed force in the South simply
to secure his own election. The average col
ored citizen can understand the consistency on
both sides here, although Mr.. Douglass may
not.
