A SERMON ON THE ERA OF GOOD
FEELING.
New York Graphic.

abolitionist of the Wendell Phillips school,
has written remarkable letter to the colored
people of the South criticising President
Hayes policy, and advising them to join the
Democratic party. The pith of the letter is
contained in the extract given herewith.
Speaking of the policy he says:
History shows that God has a veto power
over all such verdicts, and that his ancient
servant, Time, always records Hisopinion and
not that of the voice of the parasites.
One word constantly in Hayes mouth
reveals his character. That word is policy.
That word is the shibboleth of his motley
horde of scamp followers. Once the inspira
ton of the Republicans was principle. The
party was warrior of the Lord then, with a
light from Gods throne on it's forehead AS
far as Hayes represents it, the party now is a
leprous Lazarus, whining for the votes that
fall from the Southern Democratic table.
He is President to-day by the votes of the
South Carolina and Louisiana negroes. BY
their unreasoning self-sacrihce, by their sub
lime devotion to the party that freed them,
they 'saved the pearl of liberty to the family
of freedom" Lo! Hayes has pawned it to
their prosecutors
As far as the Gulf States go, the President
of the United States is not Rutherford B.
Hayes in the White House, but decripit
old man, wasted and worn in body, but still
viglant and acute in mind, who lies on a sick
bed in a committee room at the Capitol
Alexander II. Stephens. Stephens dictates ;
Hayes executes.
There is ABSOLUTELY no difference whatever
now between the Democratic party and the
Republican party, as represented by Hayes,
on the question of the rights and condition of
the negro excepting in one important partic

points out the path of safety to the black
voter. 1t points out, also, the path of duty.
We owe allegiance where we receive protec
ton. The Democrats protect the Democra-
tic negro the Republicans abandon the Re-
publican negro.
The Democratic negro is the safest male
creature that know of in the Gulf States
All other males must fight for themselves
For him only every white shotgun is ready to
do battle to the death.
The exodus of the blacks to the Democratic
party would make that powerful organization
the champion of negro rights.
If there are colored men who cannot vote
for Democratic candidates, let them refuse to
vote at all.
| should refuse to believe that God governs
this world if the dastardly treachery of this
to the blacks is not visited
with the destruction of the party that shall
sustain it.
But if l could lead the blacks, should say
to them still further, pay less attention to
politics and seek power through business.
Become the Jews of America There are two
great policies, both for men and races-force
and Cancellation The Anglo Saxon race
fights. The Jewish race cOnciiates. Both
have become great powers by policies entirely

you, go to another if a state refuses you |

Mr. Gorham is quoted as having spoken of
Senator Sargent in the following generous
erms
1 admire his great energy, Legislative capa-
ity, fidelity to his Senatorial trust, and
trong attachment to friends. He never tires

interests are at stake, and seldom fails to

senate, and if he represented one of the old
'va,es would be very likely to remain there
Without opposition long his party was
ominant and he would serve.
The APPEAL heartily endorses every word
f this.
