Hon. VIM. f. Chandler has writ
ten strong and meaty letter to the
Now York Tribune, on the duty of
Republicans in the coming contest,
from which we make the following
interesting extract:
prudent and cautious politicians
can not fail to admit that Republican
victory in 1880 is probable only; not
sure. The recent glorious triumphs,
under radical principles, demanding
the absolute protection of human
rights every where under the flag,
the abandonment of which for two
years brought us almost to dissolu-
tion and destruction, have placed sue
cess within our reach. New YORK,
New Jersey, Indiana and Massachu-
setts are the only doubtful Northern
states. With forbearance, concession
harmony, full State conventions, and
wise and patriotic National Conven-
ton, whose decision about candi-
dates shall be cheerfully submitted to
by all, solid North can be interpos-
ed against '.Solid South and rebel
rule" the dangers of which Governor
Hayes so earnestly urged Republican
speakers in 1876 to depict as argu-
ments for his election. Without
these conditions, Mr.. Tilden may yet
be President. For myself l may say
that, while now as in 1876, an ardent
advocate of Mr.. Blaine's nomination,
having a second choice for Senator
Conkling; conceiving the selection of
Secretary Sherman, Of Ohio, who pub
licly announces himself candidate in
letter to Democrat, and promises
that if elected he will be controlled
by Democrats, as utterly distasteful
to me, and believing that no emer-
gency, unless caused by reckless rebel
actions during the coming session.

from opposing the immigration to
this State of colored people from the
South? The brutal policy of the
Democratic party in the South to-
ward colored people has made the
exodus not only possible but a neces-
sity. The liberty loving voters of
Indiana should not allow.themselves
to be deceived by the hue-and-cry of
Democratic papers and politicians
about colonization. The Democratic
party of this country, headed by the
old pro-slavery rebel element of the
South, is making desperate effort
to get control of the government-to
retrieve by stratagem, fraud and vio-
lence what they lost in open conflict.
They have virtually annulled the con-
stitutional amendments in the South
by practically disfranchising the COL
ored people, and at the same time re-
tanning the increased representation
in congress, which their enumeration
gives. With free, fair election, the
Republicans could carry at least eight
Southern states; but these eight states,
, a majority of whose voters are to-
day Republicans, are made solidly
Democratic by methods and instru.
mentalities that would bring their
perpetrators to the gallows in any
land but ours. Having obtained con-
troll of the South by these infamous
prosecutions and outrages, the Demo
Gratis now seek to make political capi-
tai out Of the fact that the victims of
their brutality are seeking liberty
and homes in the free North. No
intelligent voter can for one moment
be deceived by their absurd whin-
ings about Republican colonization,
and the poor eolored people being
enticed from their homes by North
ern emmisaries This movement is the
spontaneous protest of the colored
people of the South against the devil
ish brutality to which they are sub
jected, and it would be necessary to
picket the Southern frontier with an
army with loaded muskets and fixed
bayonets, to prevent these people
from leaving the cursed land Of their
birth, from which they have never
received anything but stripes and
scars and brutality.

Address Of the Immigrant Relief
Board to the Public.

At mass meeting Of the colorec
citizens of Indianapolis, held in Beth
el A. Me. church on Monday evening
the oath OF November, the under.
signed were appointed a committee
to devise ways and means Of caring
for any destitute immigrants who
may come to our State from the
South. We do not stop, now, to dis
cnss the causes that have led to this
exodus OF our people from the South
We simply say that no reasonable
man who mingles and converses with
these people can doubt that in the
South they are defrauded, prosecuted,
prescribed, denied their political
rights and treated in general with
tho most inhuman barbarity. They
leave their homes TO escape outrages
to which no freeman should submit,
and TO which no freeman should be
subjected in free country. They
come to Indiana because they expect
to find o nobler civilization, human
treatment, and protection in their
right to life, liberty and the pursuit
Of happiness. In this expectation
they Will not be disappointed.
These people are our Kindred
bound TO US by the strongest ties that
bind men together; hence we feel it
an imperative duty to make provis-
ion for the temporary relief of any
who may be in need. We accord
ingly appeal to the generous people
of Indiana to aid us in this benevo-
lent work, by contributions of money,
clothing and other necessaries.
Contributions may be given to
any of the committeeman, or left
