Jt'isn poor patty that caiinot profit
by defeat. The old Whig party coulJ;

it aecms that tho Democratic party is
Incapable of learning anything from
past experience, or of looking into the
futuroi Long yean ago it maile
Slavery its idul. Any Statesman
mlgU nave known that the current of
freedom would soon overwhelm our
country.' But Democracy clung to
Slavery, loved it dearly, was walled
to it auu was awept way with it.
Then It tool: ,np lL-bcllioti, an I the
same result" followed. Now its idol
it opposition to manhood suITrago.

ivepeai is y uo mc uiuuu ui hwikm
rnMU0B jwm1 of tlia Fiftocntl
Amendment, passed by our Legisla
ture, and which is now before tlio Leg
islatures of the other States for ratifi
cation or rejection.
Any ono who lias watched the pro
gress of opinion in the hist ten years
has seen the current working strong y
in ftvor of Manhood Suffrage. Ten
years ago' thcro was hardly a man to
advocate it: now it is adopted by
States. Tit in tho faee of aU this th
Democratic leaders are arraying their
party against this current, and are as
euriug their followers that they will at
last win the day. Well, let them go.
?Yhora tho gods would destroy, they
first mako mad." We mizht as well
beat them 01 this question ns any oth
r. Tho Democrats had their lingers
oorchei with Slavery, burned with
Rebellion, and wo julgo that wcu
they are done.with Manhood Suffrage,
they will b willing to keep theic
nds off of things.
" The iVtai points out a sinful jr fact
in tho last annual report of tho Prison
Agont. The statistics submitted show
that whilo crimo has been on tho in
crease among tho whito poptil.uian,
It has been decrenins arum)' tho
blacks. As the colored population of
Philadelphia "aro tr a man Republi
can in their political creed," and the
majority of thl vhltps Tbtinenitie
(vide Wallace's campaign documents),
thd Pi-cai argues "vcfry , forcibly that
Pemocracy has sonvithin;; to do with
tho increaso of crimo. Tlio point is
well taken. If wo are to ba guided
by the reasoning of th-i Djtnjcntis
journals, certainly the culor of the skin
has'nothing to do with the question ;
or rather, if we a-Mept thiir theory
that it impels a man to commit all
manner of base crimes, it only strength
ens the positiou of tho IVow. The
thick skull, long lieu), sharp shin
bone, Ham Biblical, thcologioo-politi-cal
theories don't bear pointedly, or in
strictly philosophical manner, upon
facts submitted by tho Prison Agent.
In fact, we doubt if ever Nasby can
help the Democracy out here. -
" Axx now five months havo come
and gone, and tho deluge of American
eitlxens of African descent, which was
to sweep over Iowa and Minnesota in
consequence of the adoption of impar
tial suffrage, has not -only not come,
but there has not been a shower I And
0, one by one, the lugubrious prophe
cies of the Democracy p iss into the
ridiculous jargon of the past, or what
MuUins might call the oblivion of
collateral chaos and everlasting smash.

Kleilf ei'liSC 131 THE BIBLE.
Many of tho most affecting and
most important scenes described in the
Bible, transpired under the splendors
of oriental night. Sodom and Egypt,
Beenhcha and Babylon, Carmd and
Gil boa, Olivet and Einmaus, Jerusa
lem and the tea of Galilee, have each,
by night, been witnesses of the power
and glory of the omnipotent Jehovah.
The author of "Night Scenes in the
Bible," has followed the shadow of
night across tho landscape of divine
revelation, and grouped together the
sacred scenes which are made awful or
impressive by the mantle of darkness
IIo has succeeded in bringing to
light "now and beautiful gems from
the mine of bible truth," and has
produced a dolightful volume. The
leading clergymen of the country have
given it their most-cordial. approval
as a "unarming ana "lustructive
work.
Tho style in which it is published
oxeels anything it hJeoa our priv
itgn tn examine. Th stoat ngrav
ings by tho first artists of the country
are pcrlect "gem of art." We havo
space to describe but two of them.
The first is "Tho Night Watch in
Mount Seir." Beside one of the moun
tain passes, with grand peaks towering
crag upon crag, oi either sale, stainls
the vateh-tovcr,and its soliury watch
man. Just through the pass can be
seen the first bright streaks of ap
proaching dawn. At tho foot of the
pass, wholly shaded by the overhang
ing crag-i, a party of travelers aro en
c impel. They cry out to the watch
man 1 "Watchman, what of the
night," and down through the pass
comes reverberating that cheering cry,
"Tho morning cometh." Again wo pass
on down the ages to tlio liiii-j when
tho nuirning hud come, and tho Sun
of righteomneu had arisen with heal
im; on his win 's. Before us is a lone
mountain side, and a prostrate form
kneeling on the uivoushioncd rock.
Tho pale mooiihs.uus creep among the
crags just revea!ing their barrenness;
tho s'ars shine dimly overhead ; a huge
night-bird flaps his wiuijs and breaks
the stillness of the nt'duijht hour; but
g'ory surrounds the. lowly form it is
Jesus for "it camo to pass in those days
that lie went out into n inouiitaiu to
pvav, and continued all night in prayer
to Uo I. It was a sublime scene, ami
tho representation bel'ni'o in ten Is to
awaken the roust devout reflections.

as some pretend, especially in tho mat

Negroes. There seems to be no pen

Columbia. Co. Ga., Sep. 1.1803.
Nathan Flcmmiug this day appear
ed beforo me, jho ordinary fleet of
Columbia county, ueorgia, an I under
oath made the following statement, viz:
On the niirht ol'the .'J'Jth of August,
as I was preparing to go to bed, I saw
three men approaching my Inline, 111
Lincoln county, each of whom Inula
pistol buckled oil behind him ; and as
they drew near tlio houso they took
thorn olTand lieM tjicm in their liands;
but fina Iv passed by my house ami
went to my brotlicr-in-law's house and
asked him where I was. lie told
them I as at home, an I then they
returned in full speed to my house.
They aske l my wife, who was in be I,
I where I was ; and when she told them
she did not kunwtliey commenced
boating her over the head with a pis
tol, blie cried for help, and finally
escaped from them, when they searclnsl
the house "all over for inc. 'J hey
wnitcd at my hoiuo several hours; and
at last I managed to get into the lioue
without their seeing me, and took my
clothes and started for Columbia
county.
I solem'y swear that I do not know
of any reason why they came niter
me, except that 1 always refused to
join thu Democratic part when they
have urged mo to do it, and I It-it

would bu in danger if I should return
to mv home, (.treat uumliem of color
ed men in Lincoln enmity I know to be
in "langcrjor tlioir lives, and tbey have
been ever since' the election lust April,
when the whites told them they should
sillier for voting the radical ticket.
They are now wading for Mr. Madison
to tell them tint it law has lnvn pass
ed to protect them. If there is not a
law passed soon to protect llicm, they
will not darcstay there much longer. 1
am afraid to go back to Lincoln coun

The list of murders and assaults

Freed people from Jan. 1, 18G8 to
Nov. 15, 1SG8, gives the whole mini
ber at COG. In the majority of these
cases tho assailants, were whito men,
and no action was taken by tho civil
authorities. The tenor of the whole
is something liko this:

Harriet King was taken from her

ped vith hoards and switches on her
nuked body, whilo lying across a log,

No arrest. Assailants at large in Cal

August 13, Thomas county, Jenny
Wyehc was assaulted and no attempt
made at rape by. n white man named
Houston. This dune the on the pub

the details arc sickening. So long as
the people of Georgia continue to thus
maltreat the Negro, and refusoto rec

should their State he kept out of the
Union.
