TuE SCALES HAVE TuRSEp.-Four
years ago the Republicans nominated
in tho person OF General Grant an
hitherto lifelong Democrat. They
had nominated other lifelong Demo.
Gratis, such as Todd and BrOugh for
Governors in Ohio, and Butler, Logan
and others for Congress. They won
with these cards, and tainted us with
their politica! sagacity. The scales
have turned, and the Democracy have
taken Greeley and Brown, Republicans
formerly, during tho existence Of the
Republican party; and now that they
sec We are going to succeed. they cry
out in anguish, and ask Democrats Il
they are going to sell their principles,
just as though supporting Grant and

The New York Void puts the mat
ter Of Grant, Greeley, or Louisville in
our own way Of thinking. It says
Either Horace Greeley or Ulysses
Grant will DO President Of the United
States four years from next March.
The proper course for Democrats who
have no preference (if such there beg
in this inevitable alternative, is 10 stay
at home on election day. But every
citizen who has choice between these
two Republicans should express it in a
straight forward, manly way, by
voting directly for one or the other,
siuce there is no possibility of electing
any third candidate If Blauton
Duncan, Brick PomcrOy, Burr,
Stephens, MOsby. and old Henry A,
Wise, prefer Grant for President, let
them vote for HIM without more ado,
which is the frank, honest course for
them to pursue, aud the only manly
course for those Democrats who don't
want Grant reelected is to vote for
Greeley. Until tho Baltimore Con.
vcntion, thcro was possibility oil
some other successful candidate against
Grant, and up to that time Democratic
advocacy Of a straight nomination was
legitimate. But since then, any fur.
ther talk about a candidate Of Demo
cratic antcCedents is preposterOus
Every Democratic voter belongs 10 ont
Of these three classes; First, those VIII
prefer Greeley, second, those who pre-
fer Grant, and third. those who, find
ing that there is no alternative, ar,
Indifferent between them. Those VIII,
prefer Greeley should vote for him
those who prefer Grant should vote 70
, him; those who arc indifferent SHOULD
: not vote at all. Any other cours
must be either irrational or venal, o
t else prompted by pitiful passion 70
! notoriety. Only natural fool can be
liove that any third candidate could b
successful"

TUE DEMOCRATIC ASp COSsTRTA-
TIVE PARTY-lTs IMPERATIVE DuTT,--I
The recent election was one Of the
most important that ever has or will
take place in our young State. The
people, the whole people, have been
called GU to pass upon the New Con-
stitutiOn. Legislatures make laws,
Courts coastrue them, but the people
alone make Constitutions. During
the recent struggle, the Radical party
has been solid against the New Oou-
stitutiOn, aud q portion Of the Demo.
cratic party honestly preferred the old
to the new. The object Of tue Radical
party in its opposition, WIS to iUjurs
the Democratic party. We coscGde to
those members Of our party, who diff.
ferGd with US on tina, subject, the same
honest and patriotic motives that We
claim for ourselycs-wo will have no
quarrel with such of our political
brelhrcn-but in future, in the coming
elections, this fall let US DO unit,
Let US all come together as band
Of brOt hers, and prepare for the COM
ing contest lis grand struggle
one for the liberty of the people.
There is now pending before Con.
gress, a bill to force mixed schools
upon all the people Of the United
States. Let US combine to defeat that
measure There is also bill pending
before Congress to force negroes into
our hotels and seat them at the same
table with the whites. Let US com.
biue to defeat that measure. Nearly
every mail brings to US accounts Of
Southern brethren being taken from
their homes and carried to Northern
prisons Let US put stop to such
outragesl Let tho cries Of women and
children move US to action. Whole
counties in some ofths Southern States
are almost abandoned on account oil
such outrOgcs. Since tho war closed,
in eleven Of the Southern States, The
Radical party, led On BY catpot-bag'
gers, has bad complete sway ID
these eleven States, since that party
has been 10 power, their State indebt
edness has been increased owe

closing up "the bloody chasm" between
the North aud South. That eau b
done by a united Democracy Th
