We have received copy Of newspaper called fhe
Right Way. OF course the title had to be made at,
ractiye if it gave any even the slightest indication
of the contents of the paper, nobody would touch the
filthy sheet. When the devil paid his memorable visit
to mother Eve he did not show his coven foot and
horns but assumed form Of great beauty; when q
member of congress buys boots with public money! he
calls them stationery; when Massachusetts, demagosu
gets welmerited thrashing for wantony insulting 4
venerable gentleman he calls it brutal assault and
exhibits the dirty shirt he the OCCASION to
noble ladies the bloodsained robe Of martyr; and
when a clique of abolition dsunionst publish we'll
digested method by following which every worpan
and child go straight to perditon, they call The
Right Way That's the right way do it; if you whn
to succeed in this world never call anything by its rgh
name.


In selecting motto for this detestablc sheet Fhe
same art has been shown as in the choice of title
The motto is "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as EhY
self" We shall as get further on how the Tr-
ters of The Right Way understood the injunction.


1t is announced that The Right Way is published
''weekly by William w. Thayer, agent, IN BostPnj
Mass; that ''the editor takes responsibility for any
article to which the writer's name, any signature
except Ed is attached" No where in the paper is ny
other name given for the editor. From a circular pub
shed in the first column conclude that George IL
Steanls is the printer.


So having announced the publisher, agent and prn-
ter and carefully concealed the Of the respolsi-



Others as it would have others to do unto it and o
show that it loves its neghbor as itself


In the circular of George L.. Scams we read ri
print this week fftysix thousand copies Of The Right
Way which are sent, free Of all charge and postage
paid to the address of persons i'll all the States ahd
territories Of the Union" This gives the opporju-
nifty we have long desired to call the attention of
our friends to the fact that the abotonists of
Boston are still engaged in their dirty work Of eru
ating throughout the land, ncendiary and raitorous
documents particularly designed to ncite the negroes
Of the south initiate their brethren of San Domingo
and jamaica and we have no doubt the quiet and DR.
derly manner in which the holidays passed off in the
south is a great disappointment TO the men who took
such paius to d tribute gratuitousy tysx thousand
copies of The Right Way in advance Of that usually
Joyous season.


The third proposition in the circular reads follows:
"f you feel disposed to aid the work by contribution
inform the club not in payment for what you receive,
but to enable NE to extend its usefulness in other di
rections especially the south where Maj Gen Hoy
ard has kindly volunteered to distribute it, through t4e
agency Of the freedmen's bureau"


This is queer English, but it is plain enough, "espP-
cially at the south OF course most harm can be doe
there We begin to see, too, why the saints of New
England are so enthusiastic in favor of the freedmans
bureau. But Is it not mortifyng to every American
that major general should adopt the trade of disIi
butor of anatcn tracts? No wonder Grant thought
there was something wrcng in the bureau. No wonder
it wouldn't work harmoniousy with the army No
wonder the south wants to get rid OF it, The first
article in The Right Way is headed, presidents mes
sage-freedmen-t consists of tissue OF sophStIy
and hinly disguised efforts to convince the people,
peciay the negroes that president johnson false TO
his promises made in his "Moses," speech and in
interview which he had the honor to hold with Mr.:
Steams the printer of The Right Way Aterquotng


passage OF the message, which shows what was "the
action in behalf of the freedmen which the president
contemplated as ''seems the more probable from his
course of reasoning in their behalf which is manifesty
addressed q the souherners TO induce them to be pa
tent with the poor freedmen, and not to insist on
their forced removal but to make fair experiment c
living with them, employing them as laborerS and OF
stimulating them to ''spir and alacrty" in their labor
BY securing to them their stipulated wages" d
SAYS how could the president of the United States
after the crushing Of such rebellion, have stopped to
reason thus with the rebels to persuade them to BE-
consderdte and merciful in their treatment of loyal
men,


Now we fave had enougho Of this talk of negro loyalty
There was not one loyal negro in ten thousand i'll the
sense in which The Right Way uses the word loyalty
If there was any real loyalty among them, twas shown
by those vito remained true to their masters Ut the
two hundred thousand in the United States army there
were not two thousand who enlisted voluntarily, there
was not single one who left his home from any feeling
of LOYALTY to the United States 1t is the abolition
complaint that before the the negro not cltl
zen and we do not believe man can be loyal to
State of which he is not citizen Loyal and law abld



abolition idea is that every white who opposed the
Confederacy whether by seeking office which would
keep him out of the Confederate army by staying at
home and specuating and running Confederate credit
for his own selfish ends by eroakng, by running oto
a foreign land by stealing money and going north to
spend it. and humbuggng the yankees into the belief
that he was always lover Of the Union, was loyal to
the United States that every negro who exhibited the
vest ingratitude to the who had reared him, fed
and clothed him. cared for him in Sickness protected
him from false friends and puranca vices, raised him
from heathenisln and barbarism and while giving him
all the liberty his nature capable Of enjoying held
him back from false freedom which he will too soon
find to be the most bject slavery, was loyal man to
the United States Perd;tion seize such loyalty. The
Purans are welcome to the men and to the thing How
fattcred the gallant men of the United States army
must feel at Being classed with such loyal citizens!


Next We have ''1he Commercial Aspect Of the Negro
Problem" which is simply attempt to prove that the
negro is superior to the Irish. We prove it much
more directly and satisfactorily, thus New Engander
is beyond doubt superior to every man under heaven
negro is by the admission of New Englanders them
selves superior to New Englandcr, therefore Niger
is - an angel.


Then comes the article entitled "Hakiag Money"
We didn't read it. Of course it is good yankee can
''beat the Jews making money.
