Letter Of Senator Sumner TO Sum
dry COlOred Citizens.

There is no denying that Senator Sumner
has written very powerful and captivating
letter, and yet it is mere cobweb of weak
ness compared with what the same hand and
brain might have produced in the cause of
the Republican party and it's tried and faith
full standard-bearers in the persons of U. S.
Grant and Henry Wilson. Its power is in
its rhetoric and the intense passion of its au-
thor-a power that dazzles and sways for
the moment, but cannot survive the sober
second thought and appeal to facts. Aside
from his purpose to support the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency, Mr.. Sumner
has added but little of either fact or argument
to his previous utterances. To his fierce,
bitter, sweeping, and unqualified impeach-
ments Of L. S. Grant, we oppose the sober,
unimpassioned, and just record in other col
unns. setting forth General Grants military
and political course towards the colored peO-
pie of the United States during the last ten
years. We appeal from the power of invec-
tive to the power of simple, unadorned truth.
Judged by this standard U. S. Grant stands
triumphantly indicated as a wise, firm, and
consistent friend of the just rights of man,
without regard to race, color, or previous
condition of seryitude, and every way worthy
of the support of colored citizens and of the
whole nation.

The cold North State, All Right

1t is at last settled that decided Repub-
lican victory has been won in North Caro-
lima, and that we have selected Governor
Caldwell, the whole Republican State ticket,
and three out of eight members of Congress.
Owing to the infamous gerrymandering act
by the rebel Democracy of the State the pre-
sent Legislature, like the last, will probably
be against us. That was anticipated at any
event. But we have popular majority in the
State of not less than one thousand, and that
nsures it for Grant in November by ten
thousand majority at least. The result is a
most cheering one, for it is a sure indication
of the current Of public sentiment South, and
leaves little room for doubt that we shall
carry all but one or two of the Southern
States, unless they are lost by Republican
division.
The Tammany-Grceley Democracy have
probably learned by this time that they have
burnt good deal of powder, made a great
deal of noise, told great many falsehoods,
aId committed numerous torgerics all to no
effect. But their game was, as they now I'M
prudently admit, to claim the State, whether
they carried it Or not, in hopes of deciding
the doubtful in favor of Greeley, hoping that
if they once secured them even by fraud,
they could keep them. But we think it is a
kind of rascality that won't pay.

Col. FoRSEY, of the Philadelphia Press,
denounces as untrue report which has
gained some credit that he is unfaithful to
Gen. Grant. The Washington correspondent
Of the New York Times states that Mr.. sum-
ner is the gentleman who has given currency
to this report, as he has given those who call
upon him to understand explicitly that Col.
Forney is promised to come out Tor Greeley
Immediately. Ii the correspondent be not
mistaken the Colonel will know whom to
hold responsible for what he considers n
Islander.

$50 far from the Democrats abandoning
their principles, or, indeed, abandoning their
party name, 1 consider that rs party in its
solidarity-to use Kossuth's expressiOn-it
has taken Greeley and the Cincinnati plat
form for temporary purposes. Having
changed the present Administration, and
embarking upon new one, with principles
in 50 great degree similar to those OF the
Liberal Republicans, the Democratic party,
with its 1900, 900 of voters, will be the power
in the land hereafter"
The above is the language of the Demo-
cratic Governor Whyte, of Maryland. 1t Is
still additional evidence of the false pretenses
of the Democratic party. ut has taken
Greeley and the Cincinnati platform for tenn
porary purposes" and Governor Whyte's
State shows its contempt for the Cincinnati
platform by lynching colOred men for alleged
crime. Surely Gov. Whyte knows whereof
he afrmS.

THE New York Tjib,tae is deyotiuo a

THE New York Tribune is devoting all its
energies to prove that Mr.. Greeley is not re-
sponsble for any articles that appeared in its
editorial columns upon political subjects dur
ing the last twelve years. When it succeeds
in satisfying the people that the reputation
the Tribune has achieved is in no way due to
the labors of Mr.. Greeley, and that he was a
mere nose of wax in the concern, it will take
from him the only claim he has to popular
support, and all the evidence there is in eX-
istence of his capacity for the position he
now seeks, or any other. As he has proved
a failure in every other position he has oc-
cupied, it may turn out that his reputation as
editor of the Tribune has been made at the
expense, or by the labors, of ADLER and bet
ter men. Where will the Usage" be left

Lies Coming Home 10 ROOst.

A few days ago list of eighty-seven
alleged defauters under Grants administra-
ton appeared in the n. Y. Tribune, the Tam
many-Greeley organ. The compiler of the
list Numbered into the candor of saying that
all but half dozen or SO Of them, who are
really defaulters, had been prosecuted, or
had absquatulated to avoid prosecution since
he came into power. He didnOt state however,
that he dishonesty attempted to conceal the
fact that nine-tenths of these men were in
Office when Gen. Grant was inaugurated, and
that every one of the whole gang who had
proved to be public thief and punished for
his crime is now brawling Greeleyite.
Many of them were Johnson's appointees,
and lifelong Democrats.
The only men in the list who support
Grant are those against whom the Tribne's
charge is absolutely untrue. A more stupid
and knayish attempt to prove the corruption

of Grants administration could not have
been made, for it supplies unmistakablc evil
dence of its honesty by showing its remarka-
BILE vigilance, and skill, and fidelity in
ferreting out and bringing to justice Demo-
cratic-I.iberal Republicans and all other de-
faulters. 1t may be set down rs rule, to
which there is no exception, that the mo-
ment public officer puts his fingers into the
public Treasury he has made up his mind to
desert the Republican party if he ever be-
longed to it, and turn " Reformer," whatever
his politics. The Tihune's list is Il remarka-
bic illustration of this truth. 1t won't be
apt to invent any more such silly talsehoods
as were boldly stated or manly insinuated
in its article on defaulters

A Illuminating Spectacle.

The nomination of Horace Greeley by the
Democrats in convention at Baltimore has
placed respectable and honest Democrats,
having decent and honest regard for their
reputation, and an honest faith in the sound
ness of their principles, in most humiliating
and painful position, and they have our
warmest sympathies. In the opinion of
contemporary, that in the entire history of
that or any other party there never has been
so pitiable an exhibition of entire demOral-
ization as this, we and every sensible man
will agree. Candid Democrats themselves
frankly admit their disgrace. The result of
that action taken they cannot and do not
doubt In the first place, among Democrats
themselves there will be found many thous-
ands who, having neither leader nor political
platform of their own to strive for, will prefer
that the Government shall continue to be adj
ministered with the same wise discretion that
has marked its course in the past ten years,
rather than risk the change which their or
binary judgment must teach them cannot be
for the better.
Here in the North men who have large in
terests at stake will scarcely feel the inclina-
ton to support the man whose theories of
finance would, if carried out, upset the entire
commercial system of the nation. In the
South, too, it will not only be Republicans
who will remember that whatever was most
bitter III its nature in the way of oppression
and punishment for their crime and their
| Col advocate in 1n
man who now seeks their support. The cam
paign being fairly inaugurated we are glad to
90 before the people upon the merits of either
men or political creeds. In Grant we find
| the successful soldier, the able administrator,
and the honest, earnest Executive.
Where laws existed he has faithfully car
rled them out; where they were needed he
| has been conservative of the common welfare
in suggesting their enactment. Unhinchins
in the execution of his duties he has exercised
his authority at all times to secure the pub.
| lie peace. With modest reticence of self he
has so controlled affairs that our taxes have
| been lightened, our revenues increased, anG
the burden of debt gradually and surely les
sened. Approving all this the Republican
platform guarantees its continuance and eX
presses no doubtful opinions upon the future
course of the party. Protection at home ant

nations should be suppressed by the strong
arm of the Government, and the right OF
suffrage secured equally to black and white
Horace Greeley believes they do not exist ;
or, if they do, it is tyrannical and dam
gerous exercise of power for the General
Government to interfere with them. Horace
Greeley was a sentimental friend of the col
ored race when it cost him nothing. Gen.
Grant is a practical friend of the colored
race nor. Horace Greeley has talked and
written for them. Gen. Grant has fouyt
and now tcorks for them.
Such is the record of the two opposing
candidates. One has been the friend of the
colored people, and is now practically their
enemy. The other formerly laid no claim to
sympathy with them, but is now their active,
practical, sympathizing champion.

Senator Reuben +. Fenton, of New York,
is Mr.. Greeley's general-in-chief and con-
science keeper. He is also the most prOmi-
nent of all the Liberal Republicans" as
well as the most influential and respected.
And here is his biography written by the
New York Times, in its list of ''bad charac-
tiers" who support the Tammany candidate,
with challenge to Fenton to prosecute the
paper if it be thought libelous:
"Reuben r. Fenton started in life as a dis
honest clerk had been intimately associated
with Fisk and Gould is known to have ex-
torted large sums of money from the Central
Railroad; connected with every dirty or cor
rupt job in New York politics ever since he

mittee clerk to forge his name to Greeley

Mr.. Greeley Against Projecting
GOlOred Men.

In Mr.. Greeley's second letter of accept
ance--the one addressed to, and'designed to
secure the vote Of, the Tammany Demo-
crats-he said:
"There shall be no Federal supervision
of the internal policy of the several States
and municipalities, but each shall be left free
to enforce the rights and promote the we'll
being of its inhabitants by such means as
the Judgment of its own people shall pre-
scribe"
AS Mr.. Speaker Blaine says, in comment
ing upon this Calhoun States right rebel
doctrine--its meaning in plain English-is
no more nor less than that Congress shall not
interfere for the protection of the colored peo-
pie of the South, no matter how they may be
abused, wronged, and oppressed, but leave
them to the tender mercics of the "local"
self-government administered by white reb-
els! If Mr.. Greeley had written volume
he could not have more clearly and distinctly
defined the principles of the Ku-Klux Demo-
cracy nor more emphatically pledged himself
to aid them in resisting all interference on
the part of the General Government with
their amusements in numbering colored men.

Gratz Browns, Seymours, FOwlers, Doo-
Titles, Wamoths, Vances, and Walkers,
such models of political honesty and virtue
that we should prefer them to men such as
Boutwell,, Wilson, Colfax, Belknap, Robe
son, and so many other men in high office, in
whom not even the malice of the Tribune can
detect a flaw? 1t is the same about the
candidates. Nobody ever attempted to deny
the fact that Gen. Grant was once Demo-
crat, but just as undeniable it is that he,
like so many other converts made by the war,
came over openly and honestly, and has
shown himself staunch Republican ever
since. Horace Greeley, on the contrary,
though of an old Republican record, stands
convicted of disgraceful bargain, by which
he did not only bind himself to the enemy,
but to carry over with him as many deserters
as would be willing to follow his lead, in
order to secure the defeat of the Republican
party. Since that time he has labored to the
best of his ability for this object; neverthe-
less, standing thus with one foot in the DEM
ocratic camp, with the other in the Republic
can, and asking the votes of the Democrats
On promises of future good behavior, those
of the Republicans on the strength of his
former services to their cause, he and his
followers have still the audacity to assert
that he is the better Republican of the two!

:Onc More EbiScOnSOiatc.'

Gen. n. =. Banks has tired of well-doing
and has gone back to his first love. He left
the Democratic party several years ago,
owing to the poor chance ofproftable pay held
out by that party in Massachusetts, and re-
ceived bounty, first Of the Wings, and then
of the Republicans. Failing to obtain n for
cign mission, upon which'he has had long
ing eye since Grant came into power, and
doubling the disposition of his constituents to
renominatc him for Congress, owing to certain
personal pecularitics charged against him
when a candidate before, he has jumped his
bounty and deserted to the ranks of the Tam
many-Greeley Democracy. With his hat out
for whatever Greeley may throw into it when
elected President, he is hereafter to play
second fiddle to Tweed, Saunders, Morrissey,
Bloominsburg, Steadman, JEFF. Davis, and
that class of sweet-scented reformers in the
Tammany ranks. Won't it be a delightful
spectacle! But we predict it will prove a
worse speculation for him than his Red river
search after cotton, at the expense of his ten
thousand Union troops

WE are receiving letters from the colored
people Of the country asking advice as to fol-
lowing Mr.. Summers views in his letter to
colored people. In reply we say, that the
acceptance of Il Liberal platform by the De-
mocracy is only snare to entrap unsuspect-
ing Republicans, and that the treatment ac-
corded to colored people by Democratic
States and communities is the best criterion
to judge of the intentions of the Horace Gree
ley party. With General Grant you are ac-
quainted. Horace Greeley tells colored men
in his Poughkeepsie speech to accept discrinl-
nations based on color. He was trimming
his sails for the negotiating breeze. Nc
cOlored man having the advancement of his
race at heart can vote for the man who adj
vises him to accept determinations on account
of his color.
