THE Gospel OF HATE

sight which they have never had before
into the character and motives of the
negro political leaders in the South who
are afFiliating pith the mean white all
venturers. Let the election result as it
NAV, they viii learn some things by
actual experience which will be profitable
in the future. Their eyes win be open
to at least some of the difficulties which
the Southern whites have been compelled
to encounter in adjusting themselves to
the new order Of affairs, and in dealing
with those whom they (Messrs. Greeley
and others have beeu accustomed TO
bclieva were grieyously sinned against by
the "rebel element.
Throughout the South there Is a class
Of negro eaEpet-baggers who are in co
partnership with the white adventures
and scallawags in running the reconstruc-
ted governments. In common with the
latter. they have made beasts Of burden
of the native negro element On whose
backs they have been carried into office
By appeals 10 the prejudice of race and
the agency Of LOYAL League associations.
Mr. Greeley and his Republican associ-
ates viii find before the canvass closes,
that these wards OF the nation, are not
only Indifferent 10 their lifelong service
in the cause Of negro emancipation, but
are reqaitine their philanthropy with the
basost iugratitude. They will find that
Mr.. Greeleys disinterested labors in the
Abolition field in other days, and his
present steadfast advocacy Of the right
Of the blacks TO enjoy all the privileges
conferred on the most favored class, will
avail him nothing in the estimation of
these ambitious colored leaders so long
as he demands the removal Of the disa-
bilities which have been imposed ON his
countrymen Of the white race and adyo
Gates a policy OF peace and reconciliation
between the North and South.
We have a case in point in the conduct
Of one Of these negro (mulatto) leaders
known to fame as II. r. Revels. The
same bayonet machinery which enabled
Ames, the satrap, to certify to his own
election to the United States Senate,
placed Revels by his side as if by an in
scrutable dispensation to illustrate the
supreme folly and wickedness of the
present Administration in dealing with
the people of the South. Revels foated
hither on the same wave that brought
Powers, Musgrove, Warner, Barry,
Mckee, Lynch and the rest of the carpet
bag tribe BY report in the St. Louis
Globe we learn that in wandering back
to his home in indianapolis, he was re-
Gently invited to hold forth on the occa-
sion of an African Methodist Episcopal
Church dedication. 1t was Sabbath
Nevertheless the pious Revels did not
deem the day inappropriate to the deliv-
cry Of Enthusiastically vile partisan
TRADE from which we will quote as fol-
lows
The present Administration needs no de-
fence, but deem certain advice necessary
for you. Guard against every movement
calculated to remove the control of the
Government from the hands of those to
whom God had given it. To change the
Government now and place it in the hands
of Horace Greeley is too great a risk to as
sumo Applause and for one l cannot
assent to It
Look nj the nomination of Greeley. 1t
was not made by true Republicans, but by
the Democrats. 1t was their nomination,
aided by few renegade Republicans. We
cannot trust him, for he is so changeabe
| can adopt the language of Fred Douglass
and say when | vote for Mr.. Greeley | want
to know what Greeley | am voting for.
[ Laughter.
Greeley, Of course, was friendly to us
and worked tor Us, but now, after having
done so much, he has deserted US. He has
called all Democrats thieves, yet to-day he
Is with them and is trying to get them into
power. When he was oar friend we loved
and respected him, but now that he is with
cur enemies we cannot follow him. He is a
baekslider and must repent before we can |
receive him back into the fold. We loved |
Dir. Sumner and honored him tor his great |
services TO US. | had the honor of deliver
ing an address to him, not long ago. but
cannot do so now. He hates General Grant |
with fierce, vengeful hate, so bitterly that !
to crafty his personal feelings he tco,tM sac |
rlfce the entire c0I0red race, and thr0to them |
Charles Sumner changes from the Sumner |
of the past, he must understand most thor |
oughly that the colored people will not |
follow him, for he is now supporting the |
Democracy,
The sneaker then showed what the con- |
dItion of the finances of the country would |
be, if Greeley were to be elected. He said. |
also, that erery colored man ooting for Greeley
tc9u}d cote himself into slauery again
There was much more of this sort of
venom and false testimony distilled on
the aforesaid Sabbath occasion, but these |
extracts will suffice. We respectfully |
them to the careful reflection |
Of Mr., Sumner, and we trust that such |
journals as the New York Tribune,
Springfield Republican, Cincinnati Com
mereial and Chicago Tribune will make
haste to lay them before their numerous
readers in the North. The
one can digest them in connection with
his civil rights bill. and the others can
publish them in conjunction with Mr.
Treeley's letters of acceptance and his
of the Cincinnati Platform
wherein its authors declare that they
recognize the equality of all men before
the law and hold that it IS the duty of
the government in its dealings with the
people to mete out equal and exact
Justice TO all without reference to race,
color, persuasion, religious or political, !"
nd that they pledge themselves to
maintain the union of the States, eman-
'cipation and enfranehisement, and to
