The Republican,, is the name of new daily
ceived the fourth number of it, dated April 18th.
1t has for its motto


''Let our laws and our institutions speak not
of white men, nor of red men, not of black men,
not OF men o. any complexion but like the laws
of God-the Ten Commandments and the Lord 5
Prayer-let them speak Of the people. .'-Uorace
Maynard


% If you admit the negro to this struggle for
any purpose, he has right to stay in for all, and
when the fight is over, the hand that drops the
musket cannot be denied the ballot. - General
Sherman''s Atlanta Letter.


Hear it talk:


Charles G. Halpine, the able and eloquent ed
itor OF the New York Citizen, in a recent strong
leader on Reconstruction, thus speaks to the
riot-fomenting, church-burning and negro-hang-
ing Democracy of New York city, by whom his
paper is chiefly read and patronized:


= We bid all hail to the Republicanism that
aims at the endowment of every human being
without respect of race, color, nationality
with an absolute equality of rights before the
law and in the social system Any Democracy,
any RepubicaniSm that stops short of this, is ii
sham, and will be swept away by the advancing
hosts OF Freedom"


We congratulate the gallant general, witty
poet, brilliant essayist, skillful politician and
universal genius that he is, that he has ut last
abandoned surface skirmishng and gone to the
bottom of really great question, and has struck
the sold foundation Of il moral principle.


But General, ii Will not do 10 bid all hail to
the Democracy that aims at the endowment OF
every human being with an absolute equality be-
fore the law. The Democratic party OF to-day is
the same corrupt organization that plunged this
nation into a fearful war, and spread death and
destruction thuurlou1 The Land There is no
Democratic party now, nor has there ever been,
that ever dared 10 plant itself upon moral prin-
ciple. 1t is now, and ever has been, the party
OF policy, of compromises, of subterfuges of
trickery, OF deceit, and never dared to venture
within The sacred realms of conscience of i'm
mutable rights and perfect equality before the
laws of God and man.


The Republican party is inspired to-day by the
heart, the intellect and the will of men who be-
levc in building political and social structures
upon the foundations of eternal right; men who
believe in the fundamental principles of Chris
tianity who believe God is the moral governor
of the universe; who believe that the seed sown
by all the good and holy men throughout the
past ages has taken root and is bursting through
the crust of precedent, prejudice and supersti-
tiou, and branching forth and bloSsoming and
ripening into the golden and glorious fruit of the
tree of liberty.


We do not believe the emancipation of the
slave, the enfranchisement OF the negro, the cs-
tablishment of free schools, open to every race
and color, the building of churches and the dis
semination of learning, should be treated as
:. huge joke and be banded about by dema-
gogues, and irreyerently lisped by bloated and
drunken incendaries and murderers, only to be
scofled al aud trodden under foot the moment
their selfish and unholy ends are attained.


The men who inspire the Democratic party
now, and the source of inspiration before
the war, are of the same blood as those who


"Clomb the steep OF pride so high,


That they were halfway down the slope to hell"
and when they now ask tostand with us in the
front ranks, it should be remembered that


When the devil sick, the devil monk would be


But when the devil well, the devil monk be-.
