THE PLAIN TRUTH.


A leading Republican, Gen. Cary, has
abandoned his party, and in declaring his
adhesion to the Democracy says that this is
to-day the party of the people. Working
men, of all nationalities know that it IS the
party of liberal ideas; that its instincts and
sympathies are with the masses who are
struggling to better their condition; that,
as its name imports, it is opposed to mo-
nopolists and class legislation. Finally,
whatever is done to arrest evils complained
of, and restore our government to its orig
inal simplicity and purity of administra-
ton, must be done quickly. The combi-
nations formed to pauperlze the masses and
enrich the few may soon be too powerful
to overthrow. Since the Democratic party,
in its conventions, have declared an open
war upon these powerful organizations to
rob and then enslave the people, the Repub-
lican leaders, aided by subsidized press
land we are sorry to say that some papers
hitherto sustaining the Democratic party
have been bought up), are bowling against
the Ohio Democratic platform. They are
denouncing all who dare stand up for the
rights of the people as Communists and In
ternationalists, as regulators of national
obligations, as those whoare ready to incite
the starving people to mob violence. We
hurl back these charges upon the heads of
the agents of power and hirelings of mon
eyed oil Sarchy. We are struggling to avert
the very calamities their course, if per-
sisted i'll, must precipitate upon the coun-
try. We would avert Reputation aud revo-
luton by doing and demanding Justice.

HMM0RTAL YOUTH.


Nobody has sunstroke in Texas, says the
Valley Times aud yet We must confess here
in Austin that it is villainously hot; but
the thermometer does not indicate as IN
tense heat as We read about in cities north
of us. The heat of these Texan plains,
famed by steadily blowing winds from the
Gulf, begets no prostration or debility.
From ming in the morning till after mid
night the fresh winds como steadily and
strongly tripping away from the sea TO dis
pei heat and diffuse yigor and healthfuE
ness. The thermometer.6 nds its extremes,
through several months each year, from
eighty to ninety degrees. aud tine COM
ing Of the sea breeze Is as certain as
that OF the sun. IL the rate of mortality
Of Sou hNestern Texas were asoertained,
without references 10 the dexths Of those
who come here in order to die, this south
western portion OF the State would be
finally pronounced the most healthful por-
ton of the continent. Hygienic tables de-
vlsed by the commissioners Of life inxn-
rance give greatest lungevity to people OF
Texas. California aud South Carolina, but

A FEDERAL bond is an interest bearing
greenback, and to stop the interest would
cause their investment in all branches of in
dustry. The outstanding liabilities of the
government would not be made greater, and
there would be therefore no actual imitation.
Money would not be boarded as now, and
all bank notes would not be controlled by
these bondholders as they are to-day. Re-
ferring to this suggestion of the STATESMAN,
the glddy Glddings Tribune says gllbly that
the STATESMAN has joined Ben. Butler.
Even SO it may be unfortunately true that
Ben. Butler adopts the platform of the
Western Democracy, and the Tribune has
allied itself with those who would make us
hewers of wood and drawers of water for
the Eastern bondholders forever. --.

WE have been shown letters from many
of the most distinguished ex-Confederates
now residents Of Texas, which were written
to gentleman of this city in reference to
the contemplated organization of the Texas
Memorial Assoclatinn, and we are free to
confess that our hearts went out towards
the writers as we read their patriotic utter
ances. Says one of them: II will be most
happy to contribute in every possible way
to the success of your proposed object.
During our late war-nore especially west
of the Mississippi had the honor to com
mand large numbers of Texan troops, and
can bear witness to the valor and constancy
they displayed in many engagements"

GRANT may do one act which the South
will surely approve. While the New York
World is wholly at fault in asserting that
Texans would gladly have war inaugurated
against Mexico, it is certainly true that the
Cuban patriots have the warmest sympa-
thies of Texas and the South, and Texans
would gladly have the Cubans recognized
as belligerents, and the brutal Spaniard de-
barred the privilege of numbering prisoners
of war Common humanity compels us to
put an end to war prosecuted without adj
equate cause, and which can have but one
ultimate result. 1t happens that while
Cuba remains in its present condition Next
CO must take its place in the commercial
world, supplying coffee, sugar and tropical
fruits, and therefore the sooner the Interna-
tional road is extended to Mazatlan or San
Bias the greater the tribute Mexican COM
merce must pay to Texas and to the COM
mercial cities of Texas. 1t therefore hap
pens that the desolation and destruction of
Cuba are of service to Texas, and the World,
in view of this fact, can hardly ascribe TO
money-loving selfshness the willingness OF
Texas to intervene, even now, in behalf OF
the Republic of Cuba.

In speech at Oxford, Ga, lAst week,
Senator wood predicted that -ong OPP
position ID yet be developed among the
Northern people TO negro suffrage. he
SAID, in substance: Wealth and education
will never be acquired by the colored peo-
pie ss race. They lack thrift, economy
and forecast citizens. will never elevate
them TO the standard Of the white race.
They have no capacity for self-government.
Immigration has always been impeded by
slavery. Many men at the North IA
vored emancipation because they believed
it would build up our industries.
The Northern capitalists, tradesmen and
laborers are against the negro. While erlan-
cipation diminished our wealth, 1t increased
our political power. Negroes vote for zen
and not measures, and their 800, 900 votes
will be added to ours. The expansion of
the people of the North will get rid of all
in the way of the Union. When, to pre-
| serve the Union, these men made war upon
their brethren, will they shrink in such a
case as thisl The negro is gravitating to-
wards us. The people of the North will
soon rise and demand surrender of the
elective franchise or colonization.

location at that place of the branch peni-
Tertiary is good thing for the great prison
house of industry, but most unfortunate for

and incidents, should be located at such a

GEN. BURLEsoN's intelligence and taste,
and that of his family, will be confessed
when we state that he receives and pays for
fourteen newspapers. He will not, how
ever, compel every citizen of Texas, by any
sufix to the new Constitution, to take a
daily newspaper, but he will assert that no
citizen can keep pace with the course of
those current events, of which every gen.

The great weight now suspended about the

will be reform promotive alike of health

CHRIsr's first miracle was at wedding

imagine that Christ's active religion con-

greatness by keeping their mouths shut and
looking wondrous wise. The stupidest of

apes the solemnityo Of the Christian Pharisee.

men. permit themselves freedom and
license Of manner which. having all the
aspects ofimpropriety, may very readily
acquire iis substance. Edward address
rs Emily with a loud and jestiDg inti-
macy Of tone and conduct, which might
be expected IN the sailor saloon, but
which is repulsive and odious in the
drawing-room or among refined and
gentle persons. Edward and Emily
would be amazed to be told that they
have not the manners of a gentleman or
of a lady, and have the air of the demi-
monde. They think that they are espe-
ciaily CONNIE il fant, and that above all
others they know what is the rule of
high society. But they are merely vnl-
gar, and have the manner Of those worse
than merely vulgar. Coarseness can not
bc gilded into refinement. The young
