Republican Party.-Ils Mission.


It is the glory oil the Republican party
that it is the servant OF the people. 1t
looks after the whole mass--the North and
South, E,st and West, white and black,
red and yellow, bond AMI free, high and
lw, rich and poor, and wise and foolish.
1t NEEDLES with every body and every
thing. There is nothing going on within
the boundaries of the U. s. A., or between
the North and South pole, into which Un-
Gle Sam does not stick his finger. It is the
s,ltlo,l purpose of the old gent to keep the
'kittle billing" for all the boys Mt home
and abroad, and also for The rest of man
kind, If they want to take hold. But all
thisihte nmcdd;ing has clearly defined
object. Let this good old man catch fel-
low trying to play foul Anl the chances
;ainst him are more than ninety-nine out
of hundred. In this ef1rt to see fair
play, as might be supposed, Uncle Sam
h u his hands pretty full. Notwithstand-
ing, each subject gets a little attention and
often times little more than he bar
gained for. Great Britain found il 80
when Uncle Sam made a teapot of Boston
harbor. Now If grnndpa-John Bull
should attempt to bulI-doze his daughter
Young America--he would naturally ex-
pect that his grand woul raise
tempest in bigger tea-po: than Boston
harboT. So the nations OF this earth are
bound to respect the American flag, no
matter how ragged by shell and shot. So
has learned the South in the late Small
scrimmage." Now when Gen. Hampton
comes up to the White House, having
heretofore heard OF such Yankee boy as
Ulysses s. Grant, he takes il for granted
that il is best TO be respectful and at least
10 make very fair promises to our Ruther-
ford Burchard Hays, who, from various
circumstances when he was poor boy in
the swamps OF Ohio, learned TO be honest
We very much commend South Carolina
for being so apt scholar, and for sending
delegate OF such good, sound common
sense 10 treat with an acknowledged expo
ment of the Republican party. But my
dear sister Carrie, do you know what q
mus you have stirred up? Why, just
look at il You promised to give the ne
gro his rights in the very act Of taking il
from him. The negro and his friends had
majority OF votes. But you killed some
and drove Others from the polls. They
had right to elect governor. You fore
stalled that right and put in a governor by
NIB law, and then came and asked the
President TO remove the troops that you
might have your own way In spite Of con-
stitutionAl laws. Do you See II YOU do
not, others do. OF course Ben. Wade is not
pleased with such game. That old war
horse would have said, "Obey the laws aud
give the people their rights first, and then
will take away the troops and not ill
then, 80 help me God" But there is a
storm brewing and II may prove 10 be q
tempest. President Hayes has his own way
of doing things and you cannot brow beat
him. This giving the South the whole
and more tOo-hog and hominy, hook and
line, fish Hnd bait, and throwing in thS
negro-nay prove to be a poser by -and-by
When the day Of reckoning comes il will
not be a very sweet mOrsel between your
teeth 10 hear the eKecutionsBs al justice
saying, ave tried every wy We could
think OF 10 induce you 10 do justice, ws
tried the sword, and when that failed w
tried The acts Of peace. Counselled togeth
or aud LET you do jusl as you pleased, bu
90 no purpose. Your hearts were fully se
an robbery and murder. Now the day o
vengeance is at hand and justice long de
layed demands execution"
