He made speech at Akeo, in, that State, recently, and was reported by a correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, who attribuated to hint the following amazing language: "And now let roe tell you what to do on election day. Go in masses, armed, and try and force the negroes to vote our ticket. If thej don't do It, shoot them down and cut off their ears, aud and I warrant you this will teach them a lesson; aud even if we are not allowed to take our seats, we will surround the State house aud tear it down, and show them we will rule." There are a good many people in the world who spend half their time in thiuking what they would do if they were rich, and the other half in conjecturing what they shall do as they are not. $2 PER ANNUM. OUR DELIVERANCE IS AT HAND! Col. Chester received a letier jester terday from a friend in Florida, in which, in referring to tho grave situa tion of a flairs at the South, he express ed the earnest hope that the North would wake up, and avurt the calamity of Southern supremacy in National af fairs. The most terrible consequences would ensue if the Government was turned over to the solid South, under Democratic inspirations and a Presi dent like Tilden. Titxun'iUe Herald. "Col. Chester's friend is either a po litical knave or a political fool. The teople of the South are as true to the Fniori, as true to tho Uncus true to tho Federal compact, as true to the Con stitution, as true to good government, ns true to the prosperity and glory of tlie Republic and as true to the per petuation of all theso great National blessings, ns are the people of any oth er section of the Union. We would trust them a thousand times upon their pledges of fidelity and devotion already given in innumerable and multiplied ways aye, a thousand times where wo would the Republican party at tl.a other three points of the compass East, West or North, onee." JTilmviUe Courier. The above is published thut our He publicans may see to what a depth of intellectual degradation the human mind may sink when it is unsustained by a single manly impulse. A promi nent Democratic politician said to us, a few days ago, that he believed M.N. Allen was going crazy, ns he seemed to be following in the wake of Morrow B. Lowry. It would be charitable to place such a construction upon his case, but while he is at large we are bound to treat kim as responsible for his writings. ' M. N. Allen would trust the South one thousand times where he would trust . the Republican party, North, East or West, once. That is probably true. JefT. David feels safer south thau north. Wirr would have trusted the whole rebel army one thousand times, rather that a Union soldier once. Booth, Harold, Atzerot & Co., would have trusted Samuel J. Tilden, Wni. M. Tweed, Thomas A. Hendricks,. C. C. Valandigham, John Fertig, M, N. Allen, and every Democratic candi date iu Crawford county one million times rather than Boston Corbctt once. It is nothing new for a criminal to feel safer iu the hands of his pals thau un der the protection of the arm of aveng ing justice. Thieves, murderers, assas sins, traitors, all prefer the company of sympathizing friends and trust a thousand times to their associates in crime where they would ones to the arm of tho law, under whose shadow an honest man always feels perfectly safe. Mr. Allen aud his associates in crime, who would murder a race to reach the Presidential ' power,- whose record is red with the blood of one President, already bco in the North, East and West the sword of retribution, and they cringand shrink from it. No wonder M.N. Allen is the friend and apologist of thieves and cutthroats, of worse than murderers. He reads of the atrocities of rebel prison pens, aud hit soul is drawn out in sympathy for their authors and his confidence in them is increased a thousand fold. He has not even the poor excuse of tho ex citcKient and hatreds of war to palliate it. Cold and calculating, with tho lapse of twelve years of peace inter vening, he looks back upon crimes that would make a devil Mush, and says of the perpetrators, ho would trust them a thousand times before he would trust the heart and brainvand soul and reCuement and education of every oth er section, once. Republicans may have been derelict in duty at times, but of all the sins of omission of which they have been guilty, nothing can be giu to compare with the criminal neg lect of the ibol-killer, in allowing so much necessary work to go undone in the office of the Titusvilfe Courier. Meadville llcjnillican. Ilistorv furnishes no parallel to the extraordinary cal urn Dies heaped upon bamuel J. Hideo by tne newspapers and leaders of his own party before he was nominated as the Democratic can didate for President. . His public and his private character was assailed by these iaflueucea without mercy; he was denounced as a corrupt, incapable, grasping,) aud JJunspeakably selfish man ; and yet these very newspapers and politicans are almost without ex ception now eulogizing him to the skies. On the other hand, not a word of suspicion has - ever been breathed against the public or private charac ter of Rutherford B. Hayes, the Re- Bublican candidate for President. Tot even a Democrat has been found reckless enough to insinuate a sylla ble against his name, unices we cite the exception, which simply proves the rule, th&t the one newspaper that ventured to attack him hastend to withdraw the accusation.

William Lloyd Garrison has ' writ ten the following letter in reply to one received from a colored voter at Springfield, 111., who acted as 'corpor al in Comnany F. Eifty-fifth Massa chusetts Volunteers during the rebell ion Boston, Septembet 9, 1876. Deak Sib: I have received a letter, purporting to come from you, stating that you aro "a colored voter who fought for his country in the gallant Fifty -fifth Massachusetts Regiment" during -the late Southern rebellion, nnd also, (to my surprise) that you have "concluded to vote for Samuel J. Tilden," the Democratic candidate for the next Presidency, "feeling that tho condition of the country demands it;" yet, not wishing to make a mis take, you appeal to me, as the friend of your people, and ask; "Do you be lieve that the colored man can vote for and help elect the reform (!) tick et, and bo Eafe? Is Samuel J. Tilden trustworthy T" I thank you for thus honoring me with your confluence, aud be assured that making the casuec-fthe entire col ored population of the country my own as I have alwnys hitherto done I will answer your questions in ac cordance with my profoundost convic tions, and as one occupying a thor oughly independent position iu the matter of politics. Let me premise, that I began tho agitation of slavery an early as the year 1828 probably before you were born and continued it until the last bondman was free; since which time I have watched with the greatest so licitude every movement likely to effect tho safety, welfare nnd elevation of the millions thus signally emancipated from tho most cruel and degrading bondage that the earth has ever wit nessed. And I confess that nothing has occurred to 11 me with such grave apprehensions for tho sesurity of those millions in the exercise of their civil and political rights, and for tho peace of tho country, as the approaching Presidential election. If Samuel J. Tilden should be elected, it will be tho restoration of the Democratic party to power and place aa before the rebell ion a party overwhelmingly compos ed of those who are deadly hostile to your race in all that pertains to equal aud exact justice a party that, du ring tho rebellion denounced every needful measure of Mr. Lincoln's ad ministration for its suppression, and its spiiit and attitude was a constant menace in furtherance of the treasona ble designs of the South a party that since the rebellion, has opposed every Constitutional amendment and every legislative act designed to destroy tho last vestigo of chattel slavery, and es tablish universal freedom irrrnocliv of complexional distinctions a party that now embodies and is controlled by all at the South who glory in the perfidious "attempt at secession, and who only lament that they did not succeed, and whose villainous determ ination it is, by the fiercest threats, the vilest ruffianism and the most revol ting slaughter having already slain their thousands virtually to disfran chise the whole body of colored voters, and reduce them to a slate of abject vassalage. Such is the Democratic party to day. Sooner than cast your vote for its Presidential candidate for tho man is worthy of tho party aud the party worthy of the man, and they are "one and inseperablo" cut oil your right hand, or. pluck out your right eye! It was the. Ilepublican par ty that put down ti e rebellion, that carried the CoDC.itutional amend ments, and that means to enforce them to the extent of its possibilities. Vote for Hayes and Wheeler. Your friend and advocate, William Lloyd GAKRiaoy. Cyrus Danauak. - "When Abraham Lincoln was a law yer in Illinois he and the judgo onca got to bantering oue another about trading horses, and it was agreed that the next morning at nine o'clock they should make a trade, the horses to be unseen up to that hour, and no back ing out, under a forfeiture of $25. At the hour appointed tho judge came up, leadiag the Borriest-looking specimen of a horse ever seen in those parts. In a few minutes Mr. Lincoln was seen, approaching with a wooden Baw-bors upon his shoulders. Great ware the shouta and the laughter of the crowd, and both were greatly increased when Mr. Lincoln, on surveying tho judge's animal, set down his taw-horse and exclaimed, "Well, judge, this is tho first time I ever got the worst of it iu a horse trade."., A reverend devine, who was but a so-so preacher, being called upon ac cidentally for a sermon, asked a friend what he should preach about, to which the other coolly replied, "About five minutes."
