The officers OF the several coored Repub-
! lean Debt.PayerS' clubs in this city Iub-
3 .sh card This morning thanking the Re-
4 .;blicanS who voted with them in the lat
4 .tc,ior, and declaring that they voted more
;,r Republican principles than the former
4 =, the maintenance CT public faith and ali
Institutional obligations. They regret the
.,T;cturaS that have been made upon the
i ,oIo-ed Republicans by those with whom
.hey acted in good faith, and think them
rrdeseryed. They think the Rtadjusters
,r, promising too much, and that by their
j Units the Republicans have known them
4 s1ly too well during the last five years.
The card. which is significant one, con-
4 GUIDES rs follows:
"Sbould our political opponents unite
with our handful OF members and aid in re-
,sang the unjust and repressiye class leeis-
ition OF the past no one will be more re-
ioced than ourselves. But it would be too
great stretch for our credulity to look for
aid in that directlon-to a party that adro-
Gated open and entire reputation to the
colorcd people before the election, advising
them that they ought 10 pay none of it, be-
cause they had nothing to do with contract
iHg il, and now turn around and indignantly
deny being regulators. Can such party
}. trusted? Beware OF Greeks bearing
cf's.
Let us not forget that to the Rcpubli-
GO party alone we owe the blessings and
privileges that we now enjoy. and that to it
poly can we confidently look for substan-
4 iaI aid in the future.
II our course on the debt question has
been sufficiently honest and patriotic as to
command the respect and esteem of good
men, we earnestly invite them to cooperate
With Us in the future. Our position was
;bat OF the Republican party, and by it we
stand, and shall stand throughout all the
/ future.
= "Our platform is Republicanism; 1t ia
5b!oad enough, its foundations are laid deep
enough, its structure is strong enough to
hold all come1s. On it are inscribed Equal
rights, equal laws, and equal justice to all
men; the preservation Of the public schools
add Of the public faith By this sign the
Republican party has conquered in the past
and VIII conquer in the future"
