a Coon PApER.-Everybody knows
that The Independent, Of New York, is
the leading, most onterprising, and. all
agree, most readable and instructive of
u numerous religious papers. It is not
slow to recognize the fact that the popular
passion for chromos has died out, and it
makes the remarkable offer of any ono
volume Of Dickens Works, q handsomely
illustrated and bound duodecimo, to any
body who will subscribe and send the
regular three dollar subscription. This lie
equivalent to offering the paper for q
dollar and a half. Everybody wants some
volume Of Dickens, and everybody ought
to want The Independent.

ErThe Republican party, by freeing
and enfranchising the former slaves Of the
South. has given that section thirty.four

thirty.four more electoral votes than it

Louisiana. The entire electoral vote oil
those FIVE states, as we'll as the far greater
share Of their congressional representa-.
ton, rightfully belongs to the Republican
party. The question DOW lie, is the
country going to permit the Democratic
party Of the South by its system Of mos
damnsbly outrageous terrorism and ram
pant murder to succeed in stealing this
representation and these electoral votes I
Alabama and Mississippi are ground te

the balance between the same tyranny
and a hardly.won freedom. The oonse'
quence Of Democratic spccesd is to enable
a small minority Of the people Of the
South to outweigh in political influence

larger part Of the North. 1t is the
grandest scheme Of robbery and portent.
GUS ~villaiOy the world ever saw. and if it
is permitted to succeed we may as well
bid farewell to republican Institutions in
this country. Every Democrat, North
or South, who aids or abets /. lie al
enemy to his country, aud the man who
will accept the presidency won by such
means deserves the hatred and execration
of every good a 1t was a fearful
mistake not to have KEEP. the rebel states
in a territorial condition until guarantees
could be had that every voter should

take, the Republican party have another
contest for right and justice on their

E<'Tho noxt Congress will not be the
partisan body that the present one is.
In the House the Democrats will have
only o bare majority, perhaps four or Eve,
and quite likely not so many as that.
In the Senate the Republican majority
will also be reduced. So the extreme
partisan measures which have disgrsced
the country during the present Congress
will scarcely be possible 10 the national
legislature after the 4th Of March next,
as there arc always some who will not
lend themselves TO the wild schemes oil
extreme partisans. So much at least we
