67rIn the Vicksburg Convention, the man
who made reflections ON c0lored men was re-
gartied rs q patriot, and the man who intimated
that the whites had not done the full duty was
a demagoeue. The Chairman of the Committee
on Resell utions igned the real cause Of the ex-
odus, and found cause for the emigration move
ment in idle stories told the negroes. AconVen-
t;on ruled by such men can result In little good.

S3.The Democrats in the Senate have evidently
determined to unseat Senator Kellogg, Of LOUIS
lana. or course q pretext will be made, but 1t
will deceive nobody. His removal will be purely
politicsl and it will be u dangerous precedent to
establish. Senator Edmunds addressed words
of soberness and weight on this topic to the DEM
ocratic side, but they are deaf They have an
end to gain and they will hesitate ut nothing to
secure it.-LGrrence Journal.
qeNow that the retreat has been begun 1t Is
good time to recall some Of the gifted and valor-
Qua Blsckburn's remarks concerning the weak
ness of yielding. In his famous "wiping OUT
speech he declared that the Democratic side OF
the chamber would ''never yield or surrender
unless this Congress shall have died by virtue Of
its limitation. A principle cannot be compro-
missed. 1t may be surrendered. but that car
only be done by its advocates giving proof to TIN
world that they are cravens and towards. W.
cannot yield and we will not yield. We an

| 67-The Republican party does not favor tn
use Of troops at the polls for the purpose Of CO
ercing voters or influencing elections The mer'
suggestion of such proposition Is repulsivc +
every American citizen. The idea is horrible
Il never has been done in this country, and it i
to be hoped never will be done. The party tina
would advocate it would deserve political dealt
and damnati0n. To say that the Republican
party advocates any such thing is an infamon
falseh0Od But it does advocate the enforcement
of all laws, including national election laws, an
to that end clothing the national authorities wit
all requisite powers. To deprive the Govern
ment Of the power to pass and enforce laws fn
the protection of the ballot box and the purity
elections, is to make it Kissing and bywor
, among men. This seems to be the aim of tn
Democracy. = Indianapolis Journal (Rep.).
| A bill has been introduced in the House to at
NIT Utah as State. 1t is said that the Mormon
are generally Democrats, or sympsthize vii
that party, because the Republicans in Nations
Convention have frequently denounced polygam
: az barbarlsm. The Democrats hope, therefor
, | to secure two Democratic Senators and repr
sentative from Utah, and the vote Of that Sta
at the next Presidential election. To secure tn
= result they are perfectly willing to ally then
e selves with the remaining ''twin relic, as thu
p did with slavery. 1t would seem to be que
tiouable experiment, however. The public spi
10 1t Of this country is infiexiby opposed to poly
7 amy, and in fishing for votes in Utah the Dem
e Gratis may lose others far more important. II
