DEMOCRATIC sEN11arENT,

I ~ 9 ~ ~ 2 : Z n
ass AS the Democratic party Is repre-
sented to the colored people as u great
bugbuar, which is to put them back
into slavery and all auch nonsense, we
would invite the colored people to
read the article below, taken from the
New York World, leading Demo-
cratic paper, and uttered not in the
gloom of defeat but when victory has
perched upon our banners.
AS you may doubt our statement
that the New York World is Demo-
cratic organ,we will fire. quote fog your
satisfaction the language of your own
representative organ in South Carolina
the Union-Herald, which says: os
"The most authoritative as we'll as
the most satisfactory expression of the
purpose and policy of the Democratic
party in regard to tine rights of the
colored people as secured by the recent
amendments to the constitution of the
United States and the recent legisla-
tion Of congress, that we have seen
since the recent elections, appears in
the New York World Of last Wednes.
day. The remarkable ability with
which that paper is conducted, and it's
position as the recognized organ of the
Democratic party in New York, COM
mend its utterances on any public
question to grave consideration.
Here is what the Democratic World
says:
"Negro rights, as results of the war,
have been finally fixed and established
by amendments of the federal consti-
tuition. Against those amendments the
Democratic party will make no war.
Whether it was wise or prudent to iIl-
terfcre with the question of negro suff.
rage by the authority of an amendment
of the federal whether it
was wise or prudent to deprive the
States of all control over that question

however, has decided it; and there can
be no step backward without an agi-
tation which it would be foolish 70

cred as worthy of a moments appre-
hension, now that the more intelligent
negroes in many of the Southern States
have become allies of the Democratic
party, that this party is going to turn
round and agitate to deprive them of
suffrage which they are willing to
use in our behalf. This would be q
suicidal policy, of which we trust the
democratic party is not silly enough to
be capable. But allquestions of policy
apart, negro suffrage is SO far fixed
fact under the constitution of the Uni
ted States, that no State can make n
law that will operate to withhold the
right of ofsuffrage from any man because
of his color. With all that it has to
do in the great reformation that is be-
fore it, the democratic party has no
idea of undertaking to repeal or get
rid Of the amendments of the federal
constitution which the people of the
country saw fit to make 'the great re-
suits OF the war" whether they were
necessary or unnecessary results"

oeAatof NORWOOD OF deorgia on the Car
pet Bagger-Extracts from his Speech .
in Savannah.
His like the world has never seen,

thieves,i in the tabled time of Ali Baba.
Like the wind he blows, and we hear
the sound thereof, butno man knoweth
whence he cometh or wither he goeth.
Natural historians will be in doubt
how to class him. Ornithologists will
claim him because in many respects
he is bird ofprey. He lives only on
corruption, and takes his fight as soon
as the carcass is picked. In other par
ticulars he resembles the migratory
crane. For when driven by the frig
idity of social ostracism from the
NORTH, he flies with marvellous instinct
to the torrid and unctious embrace Of
his African mates and peers among the
swamps of our Southern shore. AS the
crane fills his craw, so this creature
fills his bag for the fight. And as the
crane, when the days grow hot, flaps
his wings and, screaming through the
air, returns to the North, so this ILL
omened biped, when times become
warm in the South, gathers up his legs
and flying with screams and shrieks
away, perches on the wooden head Of
the figure ofjustice commonly known
as the Attorney General, and draws
the air with croakings about Southern
outrage and wrong. In other respects

"Somc of tho newspapers at q dis
tance, commenting on the recent sale OF

any outsider, Republican or Democrat.

LESSONS FROM THE LATE ELECTIONS.

That the Dem oeratic party has made
great strides towards power again, is
undeniable. Color the picture as we
will, we cannot disguise that part of it
which shows too plainly that the Repub-
lican party has lost good deal of its
strength in the last contest. These losses
are not occasoned by the party having
" ou.lived its usefulness" nor from tho
fact it has had its day. They are &C.
casioned by many causes which often oc-
cur and which conspire TO wrest the
laurels FOR a season from ono political
organization to place them lpon anoth-
err. One of the principal causes has been
the indifference Of Republicans and their
neglect to vote. In somo states the Re-
publicans had been accustomed TO Re-
publican majori,ies so long that they
supposed it was unnecessary to attend
tho polls. Another cause contributing
to the defeat of the party was the sense
less prohibition organizations in some
states, which had enough power to prove
disastrous to the Republicans. As long
as party gives way to the importuni-
ties Of lot of monomaniacs on the liqu-
or question, it must expect defeat. The
Democracy has nothing TO do with it;
in fact, liquor and Democracy are con-
genial, and it is the Republican party
which always suffers from the unwise
interference of prohibition and anti-li-
cense people. Another cause of defeat,
was the hue and cry raised over the third
term business, which the Democratic Or
ators and politicians managed to con-
strue into something ominous and dread
full. The late words Of President Grant
upon that subject ought TO convince the
people that they have been unduly and
unwarrantably excited over the matter.
These Democratic gains are of no spec
ial consequence and signify nothing
against the Republican party. Another
election will, quite likely, overturn what
has been done by the Democracy Wis
consin, at tho election year ago, elected
the Democratic-Reierm State ticket by

The Saline County journal. [volume] (Salina, Kan.) 1871-1893, 1874-11-12

the Republicans carried the State by just
as large majority. The late Democratic
successes will wake mp the Republicans,
make them forget their party divisions
and quarrcls and spur them to action
in future elections. They will make
them pay more attention 10 their con-
ventions, and make those conventions
nominate better and stronger men. They
will remind the Republicans that De-
mocsacy still exists, and is not SO
thoroughly dead as was supposed that
it is bydra-heuded and presents itself IN
many different forms, clothed IN many
different dresses, and Is seeking to be re-
stored to power by means fair or foul,
whichever suits its purpose. We believe
that the Democratic gains will, in tho
end, be the best thing that could have
happened to restore the unity of the Re-
publican party and make it, as it has
hitherto bsen, invincible. Some say that
the Democratic successes prcfigure a
Democratic President in 1876. We don't
see any such thing. But we do see the
ground work laid by which tho breaches
in the Republican party may be healed
up and the party made unit to place
one of its number in the executive chair
in 1876.
The Reformers-cspccially those who
were once Republicans-may derive
some consolation from the recent Demo
cratic victories, but wo doubt it very
much. They may be pleased to know
that there Is an opposition to the Rcpub-
lican party in Congress-and majority,
too-which will be found voting on all
occasions with the Democrats, especially
in favor oftho white leagues of the South.
They may be pleased with this, but we
very much doubt it. They may feel that
| they have done themselves honor by con-
trbuting their assistance to raise up the
vile and putrid carcass of Democracy and
place 1t before the people as typical OF
Reform and possessed Of all the cardinal
virtues. They..may be pleased with this,
but we d oubt it.
There are now plainly and squarely
only two political parties in the country
Democratic and Republican. In one
party or the other, we must one and all
cast our lot. five are not Republicans
we must be Democrats. IN Kansas, too,
the contest for the future must be be-
tween Democrats and Republicans. The
Reform party means nothing but Democ-
racy.

Going Sustlng.

Every bright, pleasant day in October
and even into November, can be made
into q season of much enjoyment by

enjoyment of both young folks and

sometimes take pleasure in renewing
their youthful feelings under the green,
wood trees, and gather nuts almost as
rapidly as the nimblest fingered child in
the party.
With sacks and pillow cases slung over
their shoulders, and Tin pals or baskets
in their hands, the merry crowd OF nut
tiers sallies forth to improve the pleasant
holidays of the season. How merrily
the music of their CHEEKY voices ring
through the long aisles of the forest! How
