THE EFFECT OF anew DEPARTURE )
AND wPAssIvE POLICIES"

The Democratic voters, as we have already ex-
planned, are to be asked TO give their support to
Judge Davis, Senator Trumbull, or some other
malcontent Republican. They are to be asked
to completely abandon" all further opposition
to the 18th, 14th, and 18th Amendments, and to
the legislation putting them in force. They are
to give up all schemes Of "white mans party"
and to acquissce in, if they canAot pretend to
warmly welcome, the enfrRnchisement of tie
colored men.
These are hard lines for the Democratic voters,
in States like Delaware. They have called them
selves Democrats, but now they are to be only
marketable voters, expected, this year, to sup
port just-translAted Republican. They have
been swearing to overthrow Reconstruction and
Impartial Suffrage. They are now to COM
pletely abandon" such purpose. They have
said, over and over again, that they were a
"white mans party, and could never be any
thing else. They are now to repudiate such a
ridiculous idea

upon prejudice, fed upon hatred Of the colOred
people, to turn and shift at the sudden gesture

for that-some Of them never turn at all.
