LITE INSURANCE OF coLoRED VOTERS.

LIFE INSURANCE OF C0L0RED VOTERS.
It is very natural that with the shoot
ing, burning, hanging and whipping OF
colored people, which pervade this and
adjacent States, thai these people
should be somewhat charry Of their lives,
and distrust the ability OF the Federal
government to protect them from the
bullet OF the bulldozer or the bull-whip OF
the overseer. To refuse man wages.
or TO destroy his growing crop:
to .errify the women and chase
the children into the swamp, are
powerful agencies for depressing the
moral nerve Of an ordinary man. When
these terrible motives are brought to bear
upon the timid, ignoran. and needy, poor
human nature must give way somewhere.
The revolver and the bull-whip are awful
tests of principle. Few men can stand
prescription in business and the social
circle. Think, then, what must be the
pressure of those agents of physical tor
ture. When, moreover, this is coupled
with conviction that the colored vote
can not practically reach the representa-
tives OF principles for whom it is in
tended, what wonder that there should
be conservative colored clubs. They
do not exasperate the reproaches of
Of conscience to these poor people by
calling them colored Democratic clubs.
The term Conservative is employed for
the registry Of the negroes, whose vote is
really cast tor the Democracy. The club
is truly conservative of the life and wages
Of the colored man, so that by and by
when these rights may be repealed by
Democratic amendment OF law, the COL
cred voter will not suffer so much from
the privation of that whose exercise cost
him either the loss OF his life or of his
self respect.
The Conservative colored club is then
an Office humanely opened for the pres
ervation and insurance of colored life,
crops and wages. He who is crippled
may have a certificate Of membership
with the Democratic ticket attached, and
with this be may pass the pickets Of the
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-07-29
BUCHANAN AND TILDEN COMPARED.

The election Of Mr., Buchanan is a.
legged in the history Of that day to have
placed in position Of responsibility a
politician whose views had been always
equivocal. He was blue-light Fed
eraIist before the war Of 1912, and
a red-hot Democrat after the war.
He was regarded as friend Of pro-
tec.lon in Pennsylvania, and free
trader at the South. He treated of
the government as a confederacy, yet he
had sustained the right of the Supreme
Court to adjudica.e the rights of SOW
ereign State. He found Kansas in tur-
bulent condition. He had stationed troops
in that Territory for the preservation Of
order. He hoped to be enabled to with
draw and employ them in branches Of
service where they are much needed. These
troops had been kept in Kansas upon the
the earnest importantly Of Governor
Walker to maintain the executive control
of the territorial government, and secure
the execution of the laws.
In the opinion of this Governor two
thousand regular troops, under the COM
mand OF General Harvey, were necessary.
The President had been thus obliged in
'some degree to interfere with the e1-
petition to Utah in order to keep down a
rebellion in Kensas'
When the final issue came, Mr.. Bu-
chanan made no opposition to the pur-
poses Of secession. This movement was
organized in the waning hours of his
administration. The appointment and
location of the national army was ar
ranged according to the wishes of those
who proposed to use them against the
government. From the timid and time
