Daily national Republican. (Washington City [D.C.]) 1870-1872, 1872-07-30

The Republican party in Mississippi Is a
unit for Grant. Thus far the Grooleyltes have
been beaten In every district. Generals Nc.
Keo and Barry, both strong Grant mon, have
been sronomlnated for Congress, aud mo
nomination Of Captain Perce, firm sup
porter OF the Administration, Is admitted
upon all hands. The contrast is shown In
the case Of Colonel Morphis, the only Gree
ley man 10 the Mississippi delegation, who
has himself declared that he cannot be re-
nominated Senator Alcoru has declared
against Greeley, aud viii take the stump for
the nominees Of the Philadelphia CUnyeu-
ton. The many friends Of Colonel Harris
will be glad to learn that his denomination to
the place which he has go ably filled Is
assured beyond doubt, The fealty Of the
colored men Of the South to the Republican
party Is demonstrated by their action In this
State.
In no State In the south, perhaps,arc there
so many intelligent colored men. The free
school system, established by Republican
Legislature, has had It's effect; and tic col

for themselves, While they admire aud love

behalf in the past they will not follow him
nor any other man against their convictions
Of right and Justice Speaking through the
mouth Of that polished colored orator, the
Hon. James Lynch, Secretary OF State, they
say in tones which cannot be mistaken,
Grant Is the hero Of that war which gave 10
us our liberty; when, at the surrender we
asked God to bless the man who led the
Union troops to victory, our hearts were full
OF gratitude"
We ask what has President Graut done
since that time TO forfeit our confidence and
esteem7 Has he not protected our homes
from the assaults of midnight marauders2
given US fair share of Federal patronage,
and In every way within his power protected
our rights as American citisens7 What have
we TO gain by a changer WIN Greeley, who
first advocated the bill, protect us In the OK
erclse Of those rights which Congress con-
ferred upon us, and then when 1t serves his
turn denOuuces 1t, be as firm In his friendship
for our interests as has been Gen. Grant,
Win the Democratic party, our implacable
enemy In the past unite with Horace Greeley
10 maintain the rights which the Republican
party won for us 10 many bloody battle In
the fold and heated contest In the FORUM

siasLic delight anybody to beat Grant" So
cretly desire that the tide OF Republican civ
illzation, which Is rolling over this Union,
and placing us beyond the reach Of future
political harm, should DO stemmed2 Bring
the question home TO your hearts, oolored
men, and your answer will be the depositlng
Of your ballot for Grant and Wilson"
Many Democratic business men arc afraid
to vote for Greeley upon the ground that hi
financial policy would ruin the commercial
Interests Of the nation, aud destroy tbt
present confidence in the monetary
affairs of the Government. Some Of III,
Northern copperhoNds who went to Missis
sippi to stump for Greeley were very mucl
chAgrlned to find old Democrats laugh a
them when they denounced the Ku-Kluxist
as uuwArranted by the peaceful condition o
the South; for nearly al admitted that thi
act had beneficial effect In putting dow
lawless bands which were fast becoming un
bearablo to all good citizens.
A majority Of the Southern States will b.
sure to follow tho example set them by Mis-
sissipPi in reuomlnating the supporters of tn
Administration, which action will secure
them to the Republican party.
