OUR DELIvERANoE is AT HAND

Col. Chester received letter yester.
terday from a friend in Florida, in
which, in referring to the grave situa-
ton of affairs at the South, he express
ed the earnest hope that the North
would wake up, and avert the calamity
of Southern supremacy in National af-
fairs. The most terrible consequences
would ensue if the Government was
turned over TO the solid South, under
Democratic inspirations and Presi-
dent like Tilden. - TGtltsUiile Herald.
"Col. Chester's friend is either a po-
litical knave or a political fool. The
people of the South are as true to the
Union, as true to the flag,as true TO the
Federal compact, as true to the Con-
stitution, as true to good government,
as true to the prosperity and glory of
the Republic and as true to the per-
petuation of all these great National
blessings, as are the people of any 9TH
er section Of the Union. We would
trust them thousand times upon their
pledges of fidelity and devotion already
given in innumerable and multiplied
ways-aye, thousand times where we
would the Republican party at ths
other three points of the compass
East, West or North, once. ."-.1itlSviLe
Courier. ....
The above is published that our Re-
publicans may see to what a depth of
intellectual degradation the human
mind may sink when it is unsustained
by single manly impulse. A prOmi-
nent Democratic politician said to us,
a few days ago, that he believed M. N.
Allen was going crazy, as he seemed
to be following in the wake of Morrow
B. Lowry. 1t would be charitable to
place such constructio upon his
case, but while he is at large we are
bound to treat him as responsible for
his writings.
M. N. Allen would trust the South
one thousand times where he would
trust the Republican party, North,
East or West, once. That is probably
true. JEFF. Davis feels safer south than
north. Wirz would have trusted the
whole rebel army one thousand times,
rather that a Union soldier once.
Booth, Harold, Atzerot q Co., would
have trusted Samuel j. Tilden, Wm.
M. Tweed, Thomas A. Hendricks, G..
G. Valandigham, John Fertig, NJ. N.
Allen, and every Democratic candi-
date in Crawford county one million
times rather than Boston Corbett once.
1t is nothing new for criminal to feel
safer in the hands of his pals than un-
der the protection of the arm of aveng-
ing justice. Thieves, murderers, assas.
sins, traitors, all prefer the company
of sympathizing friends and trust a
thousand times to their associates in
crime where they would once to the
arm of the law, under whose shadow
an honest man always feels perfectly
safe. Mr.. Allen and his associates in
crime, who would murder race to
reach the Presidential power, whose
record is red with the blood of one
President, already SEQ in the North,
East and West the sword of retribution,
and they cringNand shrink from it.
No wonder NJ. n. Allen is the friend
and apologist ofthieves and cut. throats,
of worse than murderers. He reads
Of the atrocities Of rebel prison pens,
and his soul is drawn out in sympathy
for their authors and his confidence in
them is increased thousand fold. He
has not even the poor excuse of the ex-
citenent and hatreds of war to palliate
it. Cold and calculating, with the
lapse Of twelve years of peace inter.
vening, he looks back upon crimes that
would make a devil blush, and says
of the perpetrators, he would trust
them thousand times before he would
trust the heart and brainSa and soul and
refinement and education Of every 9TH
er section, once. Republicans may
have been derelict in duty at times,
but of all the sins Of omission of which
they have been guilty, nothing can be-
gin to compare with the criminal neg
lect of the fool-killer, in allowing so
much necessary work to 60 undone in
the office of the Titusville Courier. =
