The Chicago Irish Republic, In vig-
orous article, showing up the unprincipled
character and course of ''the preten led
Catholic press of America," states the po-
sition of that church rs regards the black
man clearly in the following extract:


'Does not the Catholic Church consider
the soul Of the black man as valuable to
God as the soul of the editor himself?
Does not the church admit the negro to his
fullest rights in receiving the sacraments?
And must not Catholic kneel down at the
altar with 'nigger-even though he was
as black as pitch-beside him, and receive
the "body and blood of Christ on the most
perfect equality? Are not negro priests
being ordained TO day in the church, and
sent out as missionaries? The Catholic
Church, then, does not recognize color as a
just reason for prosecuting on unfortunate
people. The church sees in the black man
n human being possessed of q soul as dear
to God as that of the most dainty Caucas-
ian, and soul that will I've placed as near
ihe great Infinite Himself as, perhaps, the
souls of his white prosecutors? To all
these questions the Catholic" press must
answer ycs-must, for il is the doctrine of
the church This intense hatred of Radi-
calismf and abuse of us for wishing to give
the black man his rights, does not proceed
from a Catholic spirit. 1t proceeds then
from political (Copperhead) spirit. Those
pretended Catholic papers. then, are using
the Catholic Church as a cloak underneath
which they advocate-whai they were
privately started for-the Democratic
party"

the cemfning contest. Its past record


cannot be blotted out or forgotten. Il


there had been no Republican party, a


free press and free speech would be as


unknown from the Potomac to the Rio


Grande, IS ten years ago. If the Re


publican party could have been stricken


from existence when the banner of re-


bellieni was unfurled, and when the
response of no coercion was heard at the


North, we would have had no nation to
day. But for the Republican party dar-
ing to risk the odium of the tax and
draft laws, our flag could not have been
kept flying in the field until the long
hoped for victory came. Without Re
publican party, the Civil Rights Bill, the
guarantee of equality under the law to
the humble and the dcfenseless, as well
as to the strong, would not be to-day
upon our national statute book.


With such inspiration from the past.
and following the example of the found
ers of the Republic, who called the vic
torious General of the Revolution to
preside over the land his triumphs had
saved from its enemies, l cannot doubt
that our labors will be crowned with
success, and it will be- a success that
shall bring treasured hope, confidence,
prosperity and progress, South as well

" Don't slop over" the old man said,
AS he placed his hand on the young mans


head;
go it by all means, go it fast;
Go it while leather and hOrseshoes last;
Go it while hide and hair on horse
VIII hold together. Oh, go it, of course
Go it as rapid as ever you can,
But don't slop over, my dear young man.
"Dont slop over. You'll find some day
That keeping an eye to the windward will


pay.
A horse may run little too long,
A preacher preach just fraction too strong,
And poet who pleases the world with


rhymes
May write and regret it in after times.
Keep the end of the effort in view,
And don't slop over, whatever you do
"Don't slop over. The wisest men
Are bound to slop over now and then;
And yet the wisest at work or feast
Are the very ones who blunder the least.
Those who for split milk never wall
Are the ones who carry the steadiest pail
Wherever you go, go in for the fat;
But don't slop overland freeze to that
"Dont slop over, distrust yourself,
Nor always reach to the highest shelf.
The next to the highest will centrally do,
And answer the needs of such as you.
Climb, of course, but always stop
And take breath a little this side of the top
And so you will reach it in wind and strong
Without stopping over. Thus ends my songl

COURAGE AND CONFIDENCE
Though the planters and people
of this parish have had much to
discourage them, they have stils
a good supply of courage to meet
dangers and trouble, and conf
dence in their ability to succeed.
To the judgments of Heaven they
bow in humble submission, but for
carpet-baggers and scallawags
they have a most complete con-
tempt, and they will smoke these
yermin out of the country in due
time. These imps Of Satan who

The New York kCriminalzeitung, Ger
man weekly paper, which has very large
circulation among the Germans of this
country, contains the following article in
its last issue:


The Presidential campaign, as far as the
North is concerned, is no very passionate
one till now, although some newspapers
are not free of utterances Of ire. The
quiet Of the North is chiefly to be ex-
planned by the uneasiness in the South,
which shows the North what duty it has
to perform. There were indeed in no
campaign more principles involved than
there is in the present one, and nearly
everybody knows what to do. If on one
side are Wade Hampton and Forrest, and
on the other side Grant and Sheridan. no
doubt can rise, because the form Of Frank
Blair is to be seen between both sides.
One party says: "Down with Congress aud
its reconstruction, while the other party
wants to support Congress in its national
policy, and TO maintain its work and com
plete it. Here they are threatening new
civil war, while there we hear the words:
"Let us have peace" Here the disputing
and doubling of the obligations contract
ed by the nation isstigmatized is as crime,
while on the ether side they openly de-
maud the breach of q solemn promise.
Under such circumstances il cannot be
hard for a man to set himself right, and
there is no cause for him to be exaper-
ated. Who likes Forrest aud Wade
Hampton will join their company. Those
who are just enough OF such persons dur
ing the war, will keep away from them.
Who wishes the country most of all peace,
will vote for Grant and Colfax. Who
thinks that the interests of the country
demand a new rebellion, renewed blood
shed, will join those who declare things
done and existing null and void, aud whose
theory. if executed, would have no other
meaning but civil war. Quite as precise.
ly aud naturally the followers Of the diff
ferent ideas about the sanctity or nullity'
of q contracted debt will separate from
each other. In all these questions there
is so little room left for mistake, and the
principles are SO plain that it would be
foolish to treat Of subordinate questions.


We believe that the majority Of the
people want peace. We believe the coun-
try will not friyoIovsly squander what was
won by SO hard struggle, and expose
the ship Of state to new storms. We be-
lieve the people do not intend TO restore
to power those persons who caused the
country so much misery. We are con-
vinced that the American people will pay
their debts exactly as they were contract
ed. We, on our part, patiently wait for
the result of the campaign, and our only
wish is that the people might treat with
contempt those men who try to desecrate
the struggle for principles by personal at
tacks. We never shall SANDER the pri.
vate character of Seymour or Blair, or
deny the merits of these men in their
respective spheres. But we expect and
demand that oor adversaries in principles
will show the same justice to our candi-
dates. The fair fight is for men, the dis
honorable one for knaves.

We take the following from speech
which Gen. Kimbsll delivered to vast
concourse Of people at New Albany, Ind,
on the 4th inst:


"The financial condition of Indiana,
under the management Of the Republican
party, challenges the admiration of every
State in the Union. Of the people every
where. Equipping and placing in the
field vast armies, bestowing upon the sick
and wounded soldiers in the hospitals
scattered throughout the land wonderful
care, and making for them the most NUM-
fcent provision Of everything necessary
to relieve their sufferiDgs or contribute to
their comfort; repeiling frequent incur
sions Of the enemy into the State; sending
her mi)i<la-fo the cid Of ueighborin2 and
beIeaguered States; and making the amp
lest provision to meet every emergency
that the chances of war might give rise
to, it is not to be wondered at that India
mas expenditures during the war were
immense.


Yet there is no debt now remaining
unprovided for caused by the war. The
State treasury was never in better condi-
ton; the public debt hanging over the
State prior to the breaking out of the war
has been to great extent paid of; aud
no State In the Union can to day show a
fairer record, financially, than the great
and patriotic State Of Indiana.


Here were millions Of money to handle
and pass through the hands of its officials.
Yet not one dollar Of all the vast sum was
ever misappropriated; not one dollar of
defalcatioD ever occurred. No man can
to o.day stand up and charge the Republi-
can officials of Indiana with peculation or
,nisapplication Of the peoples money. To
the Republican party Of Indiana is all the
honor due for this excellent fnancials
showing-for this condition Of the State
finances.


"Are the people willing to take from a
party that has proved so faithful to all its
trusts the lease of power entrusted to ii,
and place that power 10 the hands Of q
party that has proved itself hostile to all
the great interests Of the State and nation?

too strong faith ia the wisdom, the pat

Es decidedly warlike. To produce the effect re-
