Sella Martin, a prominent colored IN All
III Louisiana, has addressed Il letter to the
New York Tribune, in which, among other
things, he says:
The Federal of1icc-holders have more
time and facilities for reaching our race
than any other class, and tEey use their OPP
pOrtunities, first Of all, to discredit the 10y
atty Of all cOlOred men who are indepen-
dent Of them, and next, to put the most ig-
nOrant cOlUrel men from the country on
the Parish Committees, headed by a white
calpet-ba@gcr, and into conventions doln-
mated by tie custom house at New Or
leans.
Our friends should know Of these facts
for another reason. When this State is
carried for Greeley and Brown the result
is likely to be credited to our white friends
entirely. This would be unjust. The col
Ored man is the follOrn hope in the coming
contest. If Greeley does not get at least a
fourth of our vote he will not win. think
he will get at least twenty thousand out of
the eightyfiVc thousand colOred votes Of
the State. Such force, led bv linchback,
who combines III himself neatly all of the
best elements of leadership, when added to
the Liberal and tctOrm vote, will sweep
the State.
The other thing l wanted to say was that
the revolt from GrantIsm is made by the
most intelligent portion of the colo. ed
people hero. During General Grants term,
he had held sway over the minds and
hearts of the cOlored people of the State
simply as the head of the Republican party.
They questioned neither his past political
record nor his present acts. lie was the
best leader they had, and they sought for
no other. But since Mr.. Greeleys nomi-
nation, the mere intelligent of them argue
somewhat in this vein: ''Mr. Greeley is the
apostle Of the abolition press; General
Grant is simply tho official leader of the
party that MIR. Greeley founded. Mr..
Greeley has never taken back anything lie
said i'll favor of the negro; General Grant
has never recalled an appointment uG-
favorable TO the negro. Mr.. Greeley SAYS
what he thinks; General Grant Keeps what
he thinks to himself.
Mr.. CIR, elcy is supported by Julian, Til
ton, Summer, and many other Abolition
lists; Grant is upheld 10y Conkling, a prCs
slavery aristOcrat, and Morton, All old time
Democrat. Greeley has made lie Demo-
cratic party drop their opposition to our
rights; Grants Congress was afraid TO pass
the Civil Rights bill. Greeley is in favor
of each State managing its own political
conventions and elections; Grant supports
the interference of Federal officials. Gree
ley is in favor Of harmonious relations be-
tween the white and the colOrcd people of
the Sonth; Grant keeps officials in power
who will not allow the Celored people of
the South to come in contact with the ma
tive whites. When Greeley blundeIs he
blunGers into kindly deeds; Grants blum
ders are all sinister ones. In short, all
Grants claims are of military character,
and so are the dangers threatened by his
continued rule. These are their general
reasons, and L think they are good ones
for abandoning Grant and supporting
Greeley.

Sad story.

The Shenandoah (Va.) Herald tells the
following sad story:
'On Saturday last the inhabitants of this
borough witnessed very extraordinary
and sad funeral. Three generations, a
grandmother, a mother and a baby we've
inferred together. The first, MIS-. Hun
sicker, was attending one Of her daughters,
who was laid up with smallpox, until
nearly recovered, when she was taken i'll.
OverpOvered by fatigue and care, the old
woman could not face the complaint, and
the fourth day she fell a victim to it. She
was the mother OF six children, and had
the rare fortune to see them all grown up
satisfactorily settled in life. She had
twenty-one grandchildren, eighteen of
whom are alive. The very day Mrs, Hun
sicker was taken sick, her daughter, Mrs.
Seel5ach, was also laid up, and survived
her mother only sixteen hours. She leaves
grieved husband and three young Chill
dren; the fourth was sti!I-born during the
illness and buried with the mother"

Referring to the rema rkable course
Of the government in the Alabama

a deep disgrace. But even that would
have injured it no more in public esti-
nation than this unheard of and incon.
ceivable exhibition of incapacity
Turbulence is bad enough, but trucking
is worse; and what shall we say when
both characterize the government? II
this administration can boast of nothing
else. at least it can say it has exceeded
all its predecessors in getting into quar-.

Address to the People,

The administration now in power has rem.
derel itself guilty of wanton disregard OF
the laws of the land and of the powers not
granted by the constitution. 1t has acted
as If the laws had binding force only for
those who are governed, and not for those
who govern. 1t has thus struck blow ut
the fundamental principles of constitutional
government and the liberties of the citizens
The President of the United States has
openly used the powers and opportunities OF
his high office for the promotion ofpersonal
ends.
He has kept VIGOROUSLY corrupt and un.
worthy men in responsible positions to the
detriment Of the public interest.
He has used the public service of the
government as 4 machine of partisan and
personal influence, ana interfered with,
technical annoyance in the political affairs
Of States and municipalities.
He has rewarded with influential and lu-
crative Offices, men who have acquired his
favor by valuable presents, thus stimulating
the Generalization of our political life BY
his conspicuous example.
He has shown himself deplorably unequal
to the tasks imposed upon him by the neces.
sites of the country, and culpably careless
OF the responsibilities Of his high office.
The partisans of the administration, as
Stunning to be the Republican party, and
controlling its organization, have attempted
to justify such wrongs and palliate such
abAses to the end Of maintaining partisan
ascendency.
They have stood in the way of necessary
investigations and indispensable reform that
no serious fault could be found with the
present administration Of public affairs thus
seeking to blind the eyes Of the people.
They have kept alive the passions and
resentments of the late civil war, to. use
them for their own advantage.
They have resorted TO arbitrary measures
in indirect conflict with the organic law, in
stead of appealing to the better talents and
instincts Of patriotism Of the Southern PEG.

enjoyment of which is indispensable for a

They have degraded themselves and the
name Of their party by base sycophancy
to the beck Of executive power and patron

tho expenses Of 1860, and adding 80
per cent, for increased population, 10

as high as under the Wing tariff Of

turers were satisfied. Salt, coal ard
lumber be put on the free list, with be-
tween 600 and 100 articles Oh which a
tariff is now laid From internal reve-
nue. his plan contemplates 500, 0O0,-
600, by placing the tax on spirits at 65
cents, making the tobacco tax uniform
at 20 cents, continuing present rates on

taxes and the taxes on banks, except

DEALER,
The Cincinnati Convention.
w. Il. MEAD, Editor,

nC SHNGAhASaa DIV entlOU..
No man in the Republican party ha
FER deserved more from it than ha.
orace Greeley. Few have impressed
le people more favorably as regards
ersonal character, great mental vigor,
srict integrity and patriotism which
% ecccntricity can cloud. d. Crate
'rown his associate in the Republican
icket has given also an earnest Of his
sbility, integrity, and patriotic devo-
ion to the interests Of the people and
n" perpetuity of form of government
where the interests, the peace, and the
happiness Of the people is paramount
to the schemes Of the politicians. When
elected Governor of Missouri he found
i in more chaotic condition if possible
hna any other Southern State. Yet
lie has brought order out Of this chaot-
e mass and fully restored the fraternal
Citations between the people and the
edcral government. In them the ell
.ments Of personal merit, refinement,
craftsmanship, and progress are hap
lily combined, and amply illustrated in
heir past history. Yet it is not such a
ticket as we had hoped that convention
would give the people. But as we had
no right to interfere or dictate either as
to nominees or platform so we have no
reason to complain at the result. The
Convention was Republican in its Or
igin, Republican in it's membership, and
is Republican in it's candidates.
In its platform of principles and its
address to the people, is the spirit, and
truth, and zeal, of the party when the
men who at Cincinnati breathed into
its feeble organization the breath Of
life, and before it had become the ally
and protector and fomenter oiuSe vice
and official rottenncss at which mankind
stands appalled,.
TO the Republican party it is to be
what the free-soil detection of Van Bu-
rem was to the Democratic party in
ls4s, its disruption and defeat.
What the Democratic party may and
should do, we shall leave to its Conven-
ton when assembled. There is no
doubt but the Cincinnati nominees with
all their faults are pure and blameless
as angels compared to the present in
scumbents at Washington. That we
should adopt and ratify their nominal
tons when We have still better and
|purer men in our own party, with near
~ or quito half the American people in
sympathy, in al honest contest, where
they can unfettered and unintimidated
express their preference, is to us
grave question of doubt. With such
standard-bcarer as Chas. O'Connor of
New York we should surely triumph, and
could inaugurate honesty and reform
In every department of the Govern
ment.
