The Democratic party is essentially
party of violence. 1t has shown
this in a hundred thousand ways
under the slave system in the South,
and in the north by mob law directed
against the colored man.-Phi!ddel-

The history of the Democratic
party is plethoric of every crime in
the catalogue of infamy-from trea-
son to murder and arson, from usur.
patton of government to tyranny and
plunder. These things constitute the
plans, purposes, and the policy of the
Democratic party, and Mr.. Cleveland
acknowledges that he has been chosen
to represent them. When it is thus
shown that Mr.. Cleveland accepts
unconditionally "the plans, purposes,
and policy of the Democratic party, "
it is needles to turn to Mr.. Hendricks,
the Vice Presidential candidate, since
he was one of the prime moulders of
"the plans, purposes, and the policy
of the Democratic party" - Neao

NOTES AND OPINIONS.

takes bis in his bed room.
What is the matter with Ben. But
ler and the colored vote n? He has
asked all other classes for their sup
port. Perhaps Ben, like gentle
man living in Dauphin county, expects
it as matter Of course, and he will
get left on it just like the other fellow
did.
Contributions to both parties in
this State are made very sparsely for
the campaign.
A colored leader having expressed
his intention to organize the Repub-
lican party in Abbeville county, South
Carolina, the Abbeville Press and
Banner "hopes" that he will not make
himself offensive to "the white
people, that breach of the peace
may be avoided. The same paper
thinks also that "our white people"
should guarantee the protection of the
colored people from their own leaders.
Governor Pattison arrived in Chi
cago last week with the encouraging
news for the Democrats that the Re-
publicana cannot carry Pennsylvania.
He confesses that he is in state of
mind where he wouldn't be surprised
to see Cleveland get the Keystone
electoral vote.
Cassius M. Clay spoke in Louisville,
Ky, last Friday evening, and said
that, after acting with the Democratic
party for eighteen years, he could say
that it was the meanest party he was
ever with.
Perhaps the weakest man in the
Democratic party of the Keystone
State is the tidal wave Governor,
Robert E. Pattison, counterpart and

The Irish and the Negro.

There are two races of people on
this Continent who should be bound
together by the closest ties OF friend
ship, who from natural sympathy
should stand shoulder to shoulder in
all that pertains to manhood and in
dependence. The one has suffered
untold miseries at the hands of their
masters, while the other has and are
still suffering untold indignities at the
hands of their oppressors. Between
them there is little sympathy when
the sufferings Of both should make
them kindred brothers. United they
would form a most formidable oppo-
sition, but divided their force is lost
for usefulness. Either to one or the
other they stand in the same relation
to the parties which they show fealty.
with the difference that the one is
paying debt of gratitude, while the
other more from lack OF knowledge
of that which is their best interest
serves another party with answering
devotion, to which they owe nothing
and from which they receive nothing.
Could the Irish of America realize the
truth as the American Negro is begin
ming to realize it that the two great
parties of the country enjoy whatever
of their power they control from the
support given by the two races things
would take different course, and
both the Republican and Democratic
party would be forced to a greater
recognition of their Irish and Negro
allies. We cannot consistently oppose
England for Ireland's sake, for she
has ever had a sympathetic feeling
for our race, extending her arms In
protection when even the rocks OF
other countries refused US shelter.
Being grateful race we cannot forget
this evidence Of friendship, or can we
forget that to day in England and
her Provinces we are made to feel
more like men than in our own coun-
try. This should not deter US, how
ever,from sympathizing with whatever
race are made to suffer what we have
passed through, and our interest and
feelings should be so undivided with
those of the Irish as TO effect q com
bination of the races upon this Con
tinent, the effect of which would rock
this country from its very centre and
force recognition of the forces
which are merely used to day to per-
petuate the dominant parties at the
expense of two great races, who are
both struggling for liberty, independ-
ence and recognition.
The Patriot is still trying to con
vince the public that the alleged
statement made by Mr.. Charles II.
Bergner, of this city, relative to some
transactions between Mr.. KembIe and
Mr.. Blaine, of a dishonorable nature,
are true. MIR. Bergner and his friends
can congratulate themselves that the
strongest evidence against his denial
of the interview in which he was said
to have made this statement, is the
hide-bound, close-clipped and blind
partisan organ of the Democratic
party of this city.

Influences that Should be Used.

Influences that Should be Used.
The press, pulpit and school house
have contributed largely toward the
advancement of civilization and the
good work still goes on. Any race
will show rapid advancement when
directed by these three powerful
moralizers. The Anglo Saxon race
has had for years the advantages of
them all, and to-day stand in the
front rank as the strongest and great
est of all the races on earth. What
the press pulpit and school house has
done for the Anglo-Saxon race it
will do for the negro race, if their
powerful influences are not misdi
rected. The press, of which the race
may well feel proud, is alive to the
exigencies of the moment. 1t is
quick to grasp the leading ideas of
the world, and is bending every effort
toward raising high the standard of
intelligence of the people, which it
represents. The pulpit, which we
have recognized for years for its
moral influence, is growing stronger
daily in disseminating those ideas of
truth and morality which purifies and
benefits society. The ministry, which
for years has directed the moral
course of the people, partakes less of
the emotional than in former years.
Reason is taking the place of sound
and noise, and the people crave more
for an intelligent ministry than ever.
This is attributable to the school
house, which are rapidly filling the
churches with intelligent audiences,
and in order to command attention
and respect from his congregation it
requires a minister, if he appreciates
his surroundings to use more intelli-
gent reason and less thunder and
fire. All of these institutions have
great opportunities for elevating the
people, as all of them appear before
or have large numbers within their
reach, and in falling to impress the
people with the importance of con-
centreting their forces, they are moth
ing more than traitors to their race,
and unfit for leaders of the people.
THE Democratic party, true to its
instincts and policy, have again be,
daubed themselves with mud, and
are rubbing themselves against every
body they come in contact with. AL
ways the first to throw stones, un-
mindful of the brittle material of
which their own houses are con
structed. They have inaugurated
this campaign with mud-slinging,
and have been guilty of making
charges against the Republican can
didate which no citizen in private
life would suffer without immediate
recourse to law. That the candidate
of the greatest party that ever existed
should be so basely and falsely at.
tackled by his opponents, is disgrace
to American politics. The position
which they took against the martyred
Garfield, is being vigorously pursued
against Blaine, but with more venom
and bitterness, and it is to the lasting
disgrace of the party that it is con
trolled by that class of men who
cannot find anything too low for them
to stoop to.

A Reminder of By-Gono Days.
A VIRGINIA Rir VAN WNKLK VINO Has
BEEN TRYING TO SELL Hrs SLAVES.

A strange reminder of the ante bellum days
was witnessed a short time ago in the busy
streets of the peaceful city Of Staunton, In
the valley of Virginia. A sturdy mountain
eer from Pocahontas county, W. Va, had
made his way from his secluded fastness In
an outlying district across the Cheat and
Allegheny Mountains. Is miles to the nearest
centre of civilization to make sale of some
stock, the fluctuations in whose value once
sent throb through the commercial world.
In his high and isolated eyrie, enjoying the
indep freedom and simplicity of rural
life, he had not heard of "war's alarms" and
none of the confusion incident to secession
had disturbed the peaceful rounds of his life.
He had tended his hocks, cultivated the soil
and prospered until the surplus was beyond
his consumption. Reckoned among the wealth
that could be disposed Of as no longer neces-
sary for his needs two finely built colored
men, and it was more particularly to sell
these that he had gotten the consent Of his
mind to make the perilous journey TO the
nearest point within the pale of civilization.
Arriving in Staunton, he asked tor slave
dealer, and tried in vain to sell his slaves.
He could not be convinced that there had
been great war, and at last he left In dis
gust. When last seen he and his dusky
property were on their way back home to
enjoy life free from the vices of an unreal
cvilizaton.-Letferi in the Baltimore Amsri-
