COLORED DEMOCRATS.

Why have the colored people in the
southern states joined the democratic
party?
1t is because after the war carpet
baggers went among them, took them
by the hand. talked to them of their
rights, promised TO help them mend
their fortunes, established savings banks
among them, induced them t. place
their earnings in them, and, when two
or three years wages had been collected,
stole their money. carried it to Wash
ington. and built fine houses for them
selves. 1t is because the republicans
stole in the same manner, the money
appropriated for schooling them, and
left the colored people uneducated. 1t
is because every promise made them by
the republicans has been talsified, and
they find that carpet-bagggers came
among them to get rich, nc matter how,
and then leave. 1t is because republic
cans, when they have been elected to
office, have betrayed their trust in al
most every instance. It is because a
republican state government has, with
out exception. run the state in debt
and increased the rate of taxation, has
been the scene of murder, theft, and all
manne of lawlessness.
On the other hand, the democrats
have deceived them in nothing. They
have fulfilled every promise to the let
ter, and done much for them besides.
In the state of Georgia, for instance ::
The largest number of colored people
educated in any one year under repub-
lican rule, was in 1872. The number
educated that year was 6,664. The
state was then turned over to the DEM
ocrats. and in 1878 there were 10, 1855.
In 1874 the colored pupils numbered
42,374. In 1875 there were 50,539 ed
ucated, and the present year there is a
still larger number. In republican
South Carolina wages. for a colored farm
laborer. are now IS per month. Right
across the river, in democratic Georgia,
the rate is Sl2 per month. In the form.
er state the people are getting poore,
and poorer every year. In Georgia
when the republican administration
came to an end. colored people owned
property in the state to the amount o
only $500 900. During the three year.
OF democratic rule they have increased
this to $4,000, 900. These are some O
the reasons why colored people in til,
south are sustaining the democrats. d,
they seem satisfactory?

"We wish to say to the friends of

about New York, Connecticut, and New
Jersey. They have been subjected to a
thorough and careful canvass, minute
and particular in every respect, and in
which all the doubtful elements have
been conceded to the republicans. The
result is that New York is absolutely

In our issue we published an editorial
entitled Lafayette County Democracy"
in which we took occasion to advise
democrats to be firm and not sully their
characters by voting for boilers and
aiding in the defeat of the regular NOM
inees of their party. The article in
question was copied by the Lexington
lntelligencer together with extracts from
other prominent democratic journals OF
the state, all speaking in indignant
terms of the actions of certain democrats
OF that county in deserving their party
and atfiliating with the radicals, whom
it appears were the instigators Of the
reprehensible movement, and the bea-
con-light OF hope to the boiling office
seekers. The Lexington Register, an
avOwed radical organ, is championing
the cause OF the boilers, hoping hat by
cooperating with them a few radicals
may get into office. on the old plan OF
you hug me and I'll hug you" The
Register positively asserts that the ex-
tract taken from this paper did not APP
pear as an editorial, but as Il COMMUNE
cation, and closes with the astounding
asseveration that it emanated from the
fertile brain of u certain republican,
whose name 1t Wlthholds Tor the Il OF
charity, or some such kindred motive
We herein take occasion to deny both
allegations. frivolous though they are,

not inaugurate in their midst the per-
niclous practice OF boiling from the

| KNOW little boy whose real name we
will say, is Peter Parsons; but the other
boys call him Peter Put-of, because he
has such way of putting off both busi-
ness and pleasure.
He can learn his lessons well, but he is
almost always at the bottom of his class,
because he has put off learning his task
from one hour to another until it is too
late. He can walk or run as fast as any
boy in town; but if he is sent on an er-
rand, the errand never gets done in season,
iuIuuur ~ auutucr, anu IUr Ine same reason,
he is almost always late at school, because
he can never be made 10 see that it is
drawing near to nine o'clock
If letters are given him to post they
never get in in time for the mail and, if
he is TO go away by the boat or train, the
whole family has to exert itself 10 hurry
Peter out of the house, lest he should de-
fer starting until the hour is past.
He procrastinatcs in his play as in his
work He puts off reading the library
book until ii is time to send it back; he
waits to join the game until it is too late,
and generally comes up Il little behind
hand for everything, from Monday morn
ing to Saturday night, and then begins
the new week by being too late for church
and Sunday school. Peter is quite con-
scious of his fault, and means to reform
sometime; but he puts off the date Of
reformation so constantly, that fear man
hood and old age, which do not know how
to put off their seasons, will overtake this
boy and find him still only too worthy of
the uameof Peter Put-otf f-Child's World.
