Can You ?
Can any reader of the WATCIIMAN,
Or anybody else, point us to a line or
a sentence in a newspaper that sup
ports GRANT, denouncing the outra
germs waste of public money, that has
characterised every movement of the
party in power ?
Can they show us'a singlqweaf'd fa
voring the abolishment of the Freed
man's fkreau, to maintain which the
laboring men - of the North are taxed
almost two hundred millions of dollars
annually, for the benefit of lazy ne
groes and lazier officials?
Can they point to a solitary article
which advocates thecause of the poor
man, and urges the - equalization o
taxation, by compelling bond holders
to pay their proportion of the burdens
of the government ?
Can they allow us a word against
tom Felling laboring men, femora and
mechanics, to take paper for money
while the bond-holder is paid in
gold ? •
Can they produce a single line that
opposes negrp suffrage—that denoun
ces negro airalitY—that intimates
that white men are better than as
groes, or even kints that this govern•
ment was made by white men and for

Can they find a sentence in favor of
saving te the white laboring men of
the North the htTdred and fifty mil
/191es ofdkorlisn* per year, that is no*

Can they dad anything that books

We do not know, tilt presume that
the GRANT and Coi.F.s.X journals will
have but little to say about Ale elec
tion that came off in Kentucky on
tht• 3d inst., Gov. SrgvaNsoN die
Democratic candidate for Governor
was elected by over SIXTY THrou-
SAND MAJORITY a gain of over
17,000 over' the election of '67.
This is an indication of the way the
political tide is drifting. It is a
,ample of tuntr's popularity. For in
Kentucky the mongrels and bond
holders used every means in their
power to cut down the Democratic
majority, in order that they could
point 1.1 it as an evidence of their
KUCCCES. But. niggers and bonds
would not no 'down with the masses,
and over seventeen thousand men
who voted for Ilatusits the ablution
candidate for governor in 1867, 'and
'over twooty thousand who voted for
LtNnorAs in 1 864, earn° out boldly and
labored for the Democracy, for eq ual
taxation—and, for a white mans ,gov
ernment. And is it was in Kentucky
on Monday 'est, i.e Will it tie in every
other State except . a few in New lsng•
land, in NoVember next. The people
have grown sick of taxes- tired of
high prices--disgusted with negro
equality, and are now working to
restore the old state of affairs when
Democracy ruled and white men
prosrered. Let the good work go on.
Let,oheer upon cheer go ap far. the
gallant white men of noble old
Kentucky, and let us of Pensurylva

that unless they divided spoils fairly,
that he would issue an order expelling
"the Jews as a class" from the lines
of his army. The Messrs. MACK re-'
fused to give more than they had con

threat by issuing his infamous order
driving the Jews as a class out of his
army. JINSEE R. GRANT entered suit
against the Cincinnati firm, and some
two weeks since the ease came up for
trial, from the records of which those
facts hre been gleaned.
In this cane our readers can see the
character of the Mongrel candidate
for president in about as clear alight
as possible. ,A' general who would
steal the rations of his own troops
and give.them to his father to trade
to the foe fur cotton to speculate upon,
and who would make war upon an
entire class of respectable, worthy
citizens, because a couple of them
would not Allow bimself and his fath
er to fleece them, is certainly a fit
candidate for a party that has stole
the, country poer,and now seeks a lon
gerlease of powj3r,in order that it may
have an opportunity to take the little
that is left as private property. If
the people of this country think that
this, man—whose mind centres entire
ly on pitch pups and whiskey bottles,
and whom the records of our courts
prove used his position as commander
of armies, to enable his own family
to tfade and traffic with the enemy—
is fit to fill the position that has been
honored by, a WASHINGTON, a Jete-
ZEIMON, a JACKSON and a Nlowitot,
let them vote for him. ThOY deserve
to be cursed with just such an ad min•

Such was the request made to ono
()Caine merchants in our hearing only
- yesterday, by - a laborer whose hands
looked as if he toiled diligently, early
and late, and whose toeless boots and
ragged pants showed too well that be
needed—badly needed—the brogans
and rough tow trousers, he wanted to
pay for in six months. •
As we looked at his broad, 'honest
brow, burnt alMost biah by the
reoph ing rays of a summer son, and
kis large sinewy hands with great
blisters and brnises upon them, we
wondered why it was that people—
honest, thinking, working people
would suppert ary government or any
party, that would impose upon. the
Takwers of the country all the taxes,
antrexempt from the payment of any
of them - the favored few, who have
been blessed with large fortunes and
lonz,pqrses.
They do not endorse it beentse it is
right—because they desire-4<mee the
pour njipressed to benefit the rich=
because they believe in this injustice
to the'lalio - ring - !misses I Rut tlfi‘y
endorse it because their political prej•
udices prevent them from doing what
they know to be right, and what"hard
times - and "high taxes" tell them
i 4 their imperative rt,,y. It is preju
dice and nothing more. A blind,
bigoted, foolish, wicked prejudice,
that is taking the bread from the
mouths of thousands of hungry little
ones, to place coupons and gold inter
est in the calms of bloated bondhol
ders. '.
Did the laboring men of the coun
try but think—did they but het as free
men—did they but labor for their
own interests there would be no need
of them begging for six mpnths time,
in which to pay for the shoes for
themselves or calico dresses for their
wives. They would not be refused
goods by merchants, or insulted by
those who halm =tire money thin
manliness. But as lone as the labor
ing masses are willing to be made
"beasts of burden," to accommodate
capitalists—as long as the working
men HOC fit to act and vote as bond•
holders and money aristocrats dictate,
Just so long will they complain of
hard times and high taxes.
It.is in the power,pf the laboring
claws to have just such "tiinep" as
they want in this country. It is in
their power to have just. such laws as
, they need. It Is in their power to
control administrations, and all that
is wanted is for them to act as :nen
as men having rights which they dare
maintain—as men'who have the cour
age and spirit to do for themselves,
and dote only as their interests dictate.
If laboring men would support only
those whom they know to be their
friends—if they would stand by each
other.in demanding the rights which
chili government is in duty, bound to
protect them in—there would be no
such laws as the infamous ones mon
"graham is now enforcing, by which
rich men are exempt from taxation,
and poor men are crushed to the earth
to pay the expenses of the govern
ment; there would be no tax exeinp
ted bondholders, to he paid gold in
terest, sad ride on the necks of oar
work ragmen ; there would be ho
freedman's bureaa, to cram down the
throats of lazy negroes, bread stolen
from the white children of the land ;
there would not be two currenoiea, gold
hr the rich and paper for the poor—
:wither would there be thousands of
millions oP dollars stolen annually
from the public treasury, to enrich
thieving officials and political vaga
bonds. Aa long as the great Masses
are willing to pay all the taxes and al
low the feW who pay none to make
the laws and use' the public monies
just so long may they expect "high
taxes and hard times." If they would
lessen their faxes and better the
"times," they shoull vote to a !Will
with the Deincmiracy for EQUAL TAX

On Wednesday last, tho Mongrel

delegates or about a ono third repre

neett forlorn, hopeless, dejected look

was no spirit., -no enthusinin—but a
kind of n guilty feeling seemed to
pervade the few, that, led one to bp
4iu,fig that they werelicaitily ashamed

After being tnformcd'hy Mr. Yocum,

With the private character of these

Another War 1
Just at %is time the mongrel pa
pers are busy in trying to induce the
people to believe that should SET
HOUR and BLAIR be successful, which
they will, that our country will be
cursed with .an other war. Now in
all earnestness we snot to know who
will be responsible for it? if the De

they will have control of the reigns of
government, and it a war is inaugura

mongrels, who vre aro very willing to
believe would kvor such a warm if

and rob, and oppress; the people.

the expenses that are fastened upon
you by the ruinous policy of the

earn vituale for themselves—to Keep
an army in the South to prevent the

which they would be enabled to par
share of the,taxes that are levied up
on you—to ply golg ,t.terest to men
who have robbed t e overnment and
