THE COLORED vOTE.

The Republican orators and or
gans now engaged IN "whooping up"
the. Northern people on the Southern
question, assume, as the ground
work Of all their appeals to prejudice
and passion, that the colored vote be-
longs in fee simple to the Republi.
can party, and that whenever found
Elsewhere it must have been
stolen. In other words, the colored
voter has no mind of his own; and
having been. by force Of circumstan.
ces, drawn into the Republican ranks
when first made citizen, he must
necessarily stay there forever; re-
gsrdless of bis treatment, and in
spite of any change of opinion.
Fred. Douglas said some years
ago that ''his race owed nothing to
the Republican party on the score Of
emancipation; that the party was
driven into it DO the pressure Of
events and Radical agitation He
would say the same, we believe, Of
enfranchisement; and these, two
claims being disposed, what others
can the Republicans bring forward?
Is it asserted that the colored PEG.
pie are subjected to more abuse un-
der Democratic than under Repubi-
can ruler There we're ten ''outrages"
in the South during Republican su-
premacy where there is one now
Compare the condition Of affairs in
Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida and
South Carolina, in 1875, with what
it is ia 1878. It is asserted that the
colored people are more generally
prosperous under Republican than
under Democratic ruler Compare
Democratic with Republican Geor-
|gia. Is it asserted that more is done
for the education and general intel
lectual and moral development Of the
colored people binder Republican
than under Democratic rule? Com
pare any Southern state now with
the same state ten years ago. il the
comparison is not sufficient, take the
testimony Of such unimpeachable
witnesses as ex-senator Revels, who
has seen the results Of the. Political
revolution in Mississippi. s.;3
One thing is certain: il the eolored
voter is as fit foracitizenship as Re.
publicans declares him to be, he has
sense enough to know con which
side his bread Is bnttered," and suf-
ticient courage to manifest his pref.

erence for the butter side BY his bal
lot. There is not colored voter in
in Louisiana or South Carolina Who
is Motif honest and Industrious
better of under Nichols or Hamp-
ton, than he was under Kellogg or
Chamberlain Why, then, should he
continue to support the Republican
party2 Why should he not, support
the Democratic pasty7 A man does
not usually have TO be abull- dozed''
lin the direction his pocket points.
The assumption that the Republican
party owns the colored vote, and that
no colored voter can be, voluntarily,
anything but q Republican, is as RI
diculous as it is impudent. It'rests
entirely on the presumption that the
average colored voter is neat COM

Views of Hon. Robert NJ. McLane.

Hon. Robert NJ. McLane, Democratic can
didate for Congress in the fourth district of
Maryland, made an able speech, at public
meeting in Baltimore, on Monday night, in
which he set forth his views on the financial
question. He alluded to the stagnation of
business and the prevailing distress, resulting
from the excessive expenditure, wanton OK.
travagance and partial legislation, in the adj
ministration of the national Government by
the Republicans since the war, which fostered
speculation of every kind, and overwhelmed
the people with taxation.
THE federal government is directly rcspon-
sible, he said, for all Legislation affecting trade
and commerce and finance, and the Demo-
cratic party in its national convention at St.
Louis in 1876 set forth in its platform and
resolutions the true principles and issues of
the day. In plain and explicit terms it de-
nounced the fiscal policy of the Republican
party, which in the issue and negotiation of
three thousand millions of public debt created
near four hundred millions of bank paper, re-
deemable in four hundred millions of govern
ment paper, aud then provided for the resump-
ton OF specie payment on the LIST of January,
1870; policy which the most ordinary in
teiiBtuCe WOulu pcTCtlfc WOulu D6 perfectly
sure to result in n contraction of the curren-
cy, runous and disastrous to every branch
of business. 1t denounced the revenue poll
cy of the Republican party, its excessive tax.
alton, its extravagant expenditure. its waste
of the public lands, its.negleet of the natural.
lied citizens, its sectarian and sectional hate,
its abuse of the civil service and its unexam-
pied corruption in the ordinary administra-
tion of the government. In lieu of this series
of vicious measures, il promised revenue
and fiscal reform and the restoration of the
constitutional rights of the States and the
people, and it is entitled to the support of
the country in its efforts to take possession of
the government and give effect to its policy.
"The Democratic party has pledged itself
to the repeal of the resumption act, so-called,
fixing The LIST Of January, 1879, as an arbtra-
ry time when the government will resume
specie payment, for the reason that the oper-
alton of that law would result in ruinous
and disastrous contraction Of the currency,
rendering certain and indefinite the suspen-
sion of specie payments. In lieu thereof it
proposes TO reduce taxation of every kind,
and particularly upon all articles that will

Fat Man Made Happy--IOscs 81 Pounds.

directions carefully, have succeeded in reduc.
ing my weight to 1853 pounds. This is all very
satisfactory and pleasant but just previous, to
purchased two suits of fine clothes at n high
price, and find, to my dismay, that they are en-
iircly useless to me now. When | put one of
my coats on, my friends tell me it looks like a
coffee sack on a bean-polc, and when put the
pants on,-well description fails. My object in
writing is to ascertain whether you have not in
connection with your medicine business, an es-
Enlistment where your patrons similarly stua-
ted, could exchange these useless garments for
others that would fit. | think you ought to
have something of the kind, as 1t would be an
inducemcnt for many to use the Anti-Fat, who
now object to using it., in consequence of the
loss they would sustain in throwing aside val
liable garments. just turn this matter over in
your mind. "Clothing Exchange is what
you want in connection with your Anti Fat bust

mention that the Nonpares lost two about the

their force to also that the Nonpareils

The warehouse being builtby w. G. Knowles,
of Philadelphia, is being rapidly pushed to COM
pletion. The foundation is laid and the frame
work ready for raising. 1t is expected to be en-
tirely finished in two weeks and ready for the
storing of the canned goods from the various
packing establishments throughout the county
The dimensions are as follows: 200 feet long
by 80 wide and 16 feet high in the clear, and is
estimated to be capable of storing &c, 600 cases
ofgoods. 1t will be the largest warehouse on the
road between Philadelphia and Baltimore. The
fact that there is necessity for q storehouse of
this size speaks volumes for the business enter
prise and energy of Hartford county.
