THE NEGRO IN OBNOXIOUS.
Isaac B. Allen, of Boston, Mass,

Isaac Is. Aileu, OF DOSlOu, MASS, Ine
colored Councilor-elect to Governor
Wolcott, proposes to take his seat and
hold it throughout the year. He is an
eye-sore to the wealthy republicans,
aud, all efforts to GUST him having prov.
ed unavailing, it is said that repeated
ffers of a tour of Europe have been
made. Allen has limited as much
on several occasions, but yesterday he
declared emphatically that he has re-
ceived large offers to resign from the
Council.
He first received an offer of $1,000,
be claims, and then one of $4,000, fol-
lowed by one of $4,000; made by the
same parties who made the second Of
fer.
Allen explained the first shock
10 his sense of honor and patriotism in
this way ga few days after I was
elected l met on the street man
whom 1 knew well, who said: Allen,
your fortune is made. There is no need
for your worry any more about earning
living. 1 have a check for $1,000 10
my pocket, and it's yours if you will
resign or get out as Councillor.
Never said I, I am in this to stay.
1t is a race matter with me. You have
not got money enough to buy me out"
Next two men came to my house
and rendered me check for $4,000 if
would so to Europe for year, for
my health, as they expressed it. They
said that the money was contributed BY
prominent republicans. On my refusal
they said they would make it $40, 1000
if 1 desired. 1 thereupon ordered them
to leave the house, and could with diff.
fculty restrain myself from throwing
them out bodily.
II put my race above money, party
or anything else, and l would not dis
grace it. Yes, sir, I'm going to advise
the Governor, and shall be on hand at
every meeting of the Council"

my acceptance of the invitation have
! received on behalf of the national
democrats of the Middle States to at
tend their Jackson Day banquet on the
Ssh instant. When passion and preju.
dice threaten to obscure the meaning
of true democracy and pervert its patri-
otto purposes, a reunion of those who
are democrats for the sake of principal
aud the good of their country cannot
fail to be inspiring and useful. On an
occasion when the character and
achievements of Andrew Jackson are
commemorated, the old landmarks OF
democratic faith should be distinctly
pointed out. At such time it should
be impressively taught that democracy
is not disorder; that its regard for popu-
lar rights does not mean the care OF
only portion of our people that its
loyalty to the constitution and law does
not mean petulant change Of the duty
of civic obedience that its aggressive
ness does not mean class hatred and
sectional vituperation, and that it's sue
cess should never mean mere partisan
triumph at the sacrifice of principle and
patriotism. :.

regret that circumstances prevent

We have reason to commemorate the
virtues of the hero of New Orleans.
His courageous defense of the rights of
