sented and pronounced ''unreconsructed
rebels" in the teeth of their solemn protesta-
tons Of loyalty The object of the radical poll
ticians Is to keep alive sectional suspicious
and animosities. in order that they may
plumber the Southern State governments and
steal the Southern electoral vote under the
friendly shield of military rule. The Southern
people have given all the evidences they can
offer of their sincerity. The soldiers who
fought under the rebel fag-men of courage
and honor-have united in the support of
liberal republican candidate for tho Presidency,
and have done all in their power to conciliate
the North. Yet the radical politicians raise
the cry of "traitors" and ''rebels" against
them and refuse to accept their proffered
friendship. If this policy is to continue the
United States can become nothing but II second
Mexico, and there can never be peace while the
Union holds together. A;as.4: 81 slssi
This is the rock ahead Of the administration,
and it is one on which the republican ship
may be dashed to pieces, unless it should for
tunately be carried round 1t in safety by the
financial tide which just now seems setting so
have warned the President of the danger. The
people are tired of the incessant excite
ment kept up by the politicians and
they say, with Senator Sumner, 'the war
is ended there must DO an end also
to belligerent passions, and tho freedman, as
sured of his rights, must enter upon new
career of happiness and prosperity" The
violent TRADES of Wendell Phillips, Gerrit
Smith, Boutwell, and others, who pour into the
ears of the ignorant negroes the poison of sus-
picion and hate, and who urge upon them re-
sort to civil war rather than submission to re-
Cancellation, are revolving to the public mind.
Sensible men cannot fail to see that the doc
trines advocated by Greeley must lead to peace
and happiness, while the doctrine preached by
the radical supporters Of President Grant
must lead to bloodshed and suffering. eff
Greeley is elected arm, concentrate, conceal
your property; but organize for Defence" is
the advice Of Wendell Phillips to the negro.
'.Black mon, be not deceived by this cry for
reconciliation. Your old oppressors will never
be reconciled to you, nor should you be recon-
ciled to Them" cries Gerrit Smith, and Bout
WELL Harlan and the rest echo the words. To
what can such teachings lead but to continued
discord and hatred, and eventually, perhaps
to bloody and cruel war Of races9 Are the
financial interests of the country safe under
such heated appeals to the passions Of igno-
rant men? # General Grant is to be re-
elected II will be by the support Of the
moneyed and business classes of the country,
and it is time for them to make it condition
of their support that this reckless playing with
fire shall no longer hazard the safety of their
lives and property. 1t is time for the people
to let all parties understand that whatever
candidates may be successful the administra-
ton of the next four years must give consti-
tutional freedom to the Southern States, take
the iron hand of military rule from the throat
of that section Of the Union and let the whole
nation have peace.
