compelled for the sake of national preser
walton, to issue the proclamation of eman
cipation, thus to give the most decsiv
and fatal blow to the insurgents, the Re
publican party now claim, and have al
ways claimed, that the colored race ow,
an inextinguishable debt of gratitude tt
that party. And it is true that the coloret
people with an honorable and honest feel
ing of gratitude have admitted the obliga
ton claimed, and have generally as g
class, voted with the Republican party
but very many of the intelligent men OF
that race are clearly discerning that Re.
| publlcans have no further use for them
than to record their votes. In many of
the states the colored voters constitute the
bulk of the Republican party, and justly
claim that they have some right to recog-
milton in nominations for Office. This,
however, is boon grudgingly granted,
| If at all; and when given the colored nom
| lnees are mercilessly scratched by white
voters. Kentucky is an example. In that
state colored voters constitute three
fourths of the Republican party. Prior to
the late election the party put on their
state ticket the name of the Rev. Mr.. AS
bury for Register of Lands. Mr.. Asbury
Is mulatto, man of responsibility and
worth. But he was slaughtered without
mercy by the white voters of his party, and
ran over 10000 behind his ticket The
Republican party in Kentucky is in
hopeless minority, but had it been in the
majority it would have made no differ
ence. Mr.. Asbury could not have been
elected, and probably would not have been
nominated. Such is white Republican hate
of colored men, every where, north and
south. They like their votes, and they
like nothing else about them. Any other
pretense is sheer hypocrisy. The sooner
colored voters act upon this revelation of
the stubborn fact, the better will it be for
their race.
Judge Julius Rockwell, of Berkshire
county, Massachusetts, is a rara avis,
SO to speak. He is a pronounced Repub- |
lican. He has been member of congress,
and occupied seat III the United States |
senate for short period, by appointment |
of the Governor to fill a vacancy. And |
now he occupies and has for many years,
a seat on the bench of the Supreme conrt |
of the state. He has recently given ex-
preston to some of his theoretic philo- |
sophical notions. They are unique if not
silly and jejune, coming as voice from
the Supreme bench of the state. He says
slavery should not have been exterminated
by war; its eradication should have been
eft to cultured" christian opinion, to
the force of christian sentiment and en-
ightment." Does not this learned Judge
Know that cultured" christian sentiment,
n all the churches with slight exceptions,
North and south in ante-bellum days, was
IN the side of the oppressors; that the
church generally in this country was the
'ery bulwark of slavery? For over two
hundred years slavery had existed, the bonds
# oppression all the while strengthening,
nd cultured" christian sentiment in the
hurches all the while becoming more
nd more insensible to the enormity
f the sin of slavery. Left to the church
S, pity that it BIO said, slavery would ,
ever have been abolished. The church !,
vas its last and 1mpregneble hiding place.
But this enlightened Judge has other, and
cry marvellous views in regard to the | !
of our Republican institutions. :
Ie has no hope of the continuance of our !
resent form of government. He pre-
lets a war of sections and a general
mash up. He graciously permits our
resent form of government to stand, per-
APPS, for twenty years, but then look out!
lie seems to think our present form of 1
government is loose conglomeration of
ntities or nonentitie5, and asserts, 80 I'M
table are our national foundations that
there have been two men in our history
Tho might nave established monarchy G
and Grant, This Is
mere childish drivel. Even Washington,

1ent when the people had just thrown
IF the expressions of monarchy ]
ould have had no influence in that direc- ]
ion; much less could Grant, in any period
f his history by ''the turn of his hand" ]
r any other puissant force have erected a
on the ruins of our Democratic
republican institutions. This is bat the !
lily mutterings of senility. Such char
cter can scarcely elevate the Judiciary of
n enlightened state, for if his legal lore
on level with his Christian ethics and
Governmental theories, he will (if hiber-
ian solecism may be permitted) illumine
he bench with darkened counsel. "
