Mr.. Bruce vs.. Carpet BAD.


From the Baltimore 0azette
After the speech OF Mr.. Bruce in
the Senate it il evident that "reco0-
attraction" has been carried to its
utmost length, and nothing remains
tor the bloody shirt element Of the
Republican party to do but to die
decently. That Il negro senator, as
black as the ace Of spades, should
rise in his place and defend the
whites as well as the negroes Of l,is
constituents from the tyrannies Of
Reconstruction" legislation ought
to be evidence that the negro has
been protected. long enough by
athe party
tn the course Of his able speech,
Mr.. Bruce spoke in u vigorous Sax
on English, which was perhaps un-
parliamentary, but very hearty and
earnest. He said that "Grant is u
liar" Such where his words; that
he was mot only hypocrite but a
liar" Negroes, he said, had been
''slaughtered in cold blood because
it helped to maintain the Repubii
can party in power in the North"
"The negro has ceased to be a slave,
bu he is still a political slave; he
was good enough to elect white mer,
but he was not good enough to hold
Office with white men. He fnther
said that If the negro il TO have no
political rights, he is in duty bound
to regard his personal advantages"
| These sentences show that the
negroes eft Mississippi have at las,
reached the same stage of expert
ence that they have III Tennessee,
Kentucky, North Carolina and Vir
ginia. That is, they have broken
with the carpet-baggers, and have
found their true interest in alliance
with the better class of whites
There is nothing new in the position
Of Senator Bruce, aud it is only re
markable on account OF the tilnt
and place and manner, of its expires

In the strongest possible contrast

about his candidacy for the next
presidency, although every interest
of his party, the public gootl and
his own reputation-what there is

As a matter of fact, this is un-

The stern warrior knows this full

So it is very easy, under the cir
cumstances, for General Sherman
to put aside ambition. The selnc-
tons of the kingly crown are never
so harmless as when that kingly
crown is utterly out of reach. So
the bold. frank soldiers comes out
in his bluff, manly way and refuses
to be President. His friends need
not urge him; be is decided; he will
not, never, never, under any circun-
stances, be President. He doesn't
want any of our entreaties and tears.

The two great political parties of

iuto the campaign with immense ad.
vantage, having at all times a stand

ways be relied on to do the will OF
its masters; and consisting OF eigh-
ty thousand well drilled ofice'hold-

number can only be cOnjectured,
backed by the regular army for ser
vice in the Southern States. To op
pose these, We have AZ yet an unor-
ganized mass of the American peo-
pie bound together by the ties Of
faith in Democratic principles, and a
wide spread conviction, that our Re.
publican institutions are in great
peril, unless the reins of Govern.
ment can be wrested from the hands
of our present rulers. There are,
also, a large number Of voters be-
longing to the Radical party, who
are shocked by the frauds, thefts,
peuuries, bribery, aud long list of
minor offences committed by that
party, and who will hereafter act
with any organization that furnishes
a well-grounded hope for a check
to these great and widespread evils,
and the only one that can furnish
that hope is the National Democrat.
