A Democratic exchange comos out with the
following poetic effusion, called ''Embarrass
ment of Congress :"
"I hear a Hon In the White Houso roar
Say, Air. 8pcakr, shall we shut the door,
And keep him out ?
Or shall wo let him in,
And soc If we can get him out again ?"
To which somo moan Kadlcal replys :
"No ! JaI him roar I
'Tis nil wind and noihing more.
Soon he'll burst, and then 'twill bo o'or."
Wicked fellow 1 so to spoil tho effect.
Tamiiant Hall, the trysting-pltico of New
York copperheads was sold not long since.
One by one the land marks of corrupt men
and corrupt principles arc passing away ; an
other decado will compass tho period of their
existence.
THE POURING OF THE VIALS.
It is charged by some, and we trust but
few, irrational members of the Democratic
party that Republicans alone uro responsible
for the victory gained at the last borough
election and for tho quclchlng of the liquor
license. We nssure such that wo are not In
debted as a party wholly to the honor of defeat
ing you for tho borough offices. A hearty
support was given us by uumy of tho other
parly w!io aro tired of misrule. And we are
happy to stale that tho magnanimous aud de
termined effort of both javtin crushed the
liquor business, In so far as ii Wis crushed.
It is an acknowledged compliment, however,
to tho Republican party that the mass aro
foes to Intemperance. On tho other bandit
is a sorry commentary that iiitcmperanco
finds its champions in the Democratic party.
This passionalo, heedless, demagogical class,
unfortunately a large ono in every communi
ty, liavfl greator need to hold their peace.
Loud talk, flery denunciation, savage phillip
pics, heroic, threats with bitter sarcasm and
taunts for those who invoke thought and de
liberation will.only aggravate and embarrass
any practical mcarurcs for mitigation.
Every land has its exiles, fugitives pf crime,
cruelty, persecution! to some pleasant to
otheis painful. But hi no lnstanco did it ever
occur (hat a majority of the peoplo of a country
allowed themselves to be driven from their
native land by tho minority of their fellow
citizens. Ttie supposition, thereforo, that tho
peoplo of tho United Mates, or any part of
them, because they Uaro to do their will, will
be ostracised by their opponents aud compell
ed to quit their homes, Is foolish.
From the Tribune w learn that Gon.
Sheridan has boen , summary as we
knew he woulJ - bo when he had the
power to sweep out disloyalty from high
places in l.onsiana. In a brief order
ho dismisses the Attorney. General, A.
J. Herron, and Mayor Monroe, and
Jadgo Abell , two notorious promoters
of massacre, into merited obscurity or
infamy. Tho now appointees are men
of unquestioned loyalty, singled out by
Gen. Shoridari'a own eye, and their ac
cession to power marks change for the
belter in the state of civilization near
tho Gulf. With tho impetus thus given
by military order, and under military
safeguard, Louisiara will ere long re
form and reconstruct itself.
JUDGE TUB TRHK BY ITd FRUITS.
Gen Wado Hampton, in tho course
of his recent able and olever address to
tho Blacks assembled at Columbia, 8.
C. says t
I do not tell you to trust to profea
Bions cf friendship alone, whether they
oomo from the Southern men or the
Northern. But what I ask you to do,
what I have the right to ask ot you, is
that, as wo profess to be your friends,
you will give us tho opportunity of
showing by our aotions whether we are
smcoie or not. It wo deceive you, then
turn to tho North, and see if you can
find better friends there. I havo no
fears of the rosult i tor with us not only
does humanity dictate kind treatment,
honest dealing, just laws for tho colored
population, but eelfinteist demands
from us the same course. A stronger
' prejudice has always existed at tho North
against your pooplo than here, and it
exists still. A curious instance of this
prejudice camo ander my own observa
tion soma years ago in Fhiladolphia.
Passing through that city, I had with mo
two servants, for whom lull faro was

'you innko mo pay full prico for thorn.
nnd ono of them is tho nurso of my

replied i 'you can't take them into tho

THE RESTORATION OV SLAVERY THE
OBJECT OF DEMOCRACY.
Mk. Emron: Some few weeks ago
we sent on to New York and procured
a oopy of the January unmber of the
"Old Guaru,' a Democratic inagasine
professing to he devoted te the political
principles of 177C: 1787, but which is,
in fact, devoted to the secession princi
ples ot 'CI. Wo did this merely as a
matter of curiosity, having beea advii.
ed to do so by a Democratic friend, who
declared that it was a "perfect gem."
Although we cau't see the "gem," yet
wo do not grudge our timo and money,
since it has ijivun in a olear insight into
the working ot Democracy, and exhib
ited the corruption whioh lies conceal
ed under a specious covering ct coo l
pretensions. Allow us to say this
much, however, tor the "Old Guard,'
that, unlike its cotemperarios through-'
out tho North, it does not strive to hide
its real views and feelings by a show
ot loyally, but-comes boldly out and
openly declares its adherence to the
South.
Huoh a course can be much better
tolerated than that ot those sneaking,
cringing Copperheads who are always
crying "Union" and "byalty," and
would make you believe that they are
the most loyal persons imaginable, but
in whose hearts the foul viper of seces
sion and treason lies, ready coiled for
the blow.
Among the articles in the Magazine
was one called "The Lost Cause," and
another "The Southern Patriots, La
ment.'' We would advise oar friends
all that can to procure it and read it ;
if it has the same effect oa them that it
had on us, they will lis strengthened in
the faith, and bless the day they became
a Republican.
From ene ot tho articles, entitled
"Different Laws for Different Races'"'
written by Dr. J. II. Van Evrie, one
of the editors of the "New York Day
Book," we copy the following sentiment,
upon wli'ali we wish to make a tow
remarks :
"Slavery, sooalled, is not (legally)
abolished anywhere south of the Penn
sylvania lino, and will be restored
again everywhere south ot that line, if
the Union and American prosperity ore
restored, or indeed the American peo
p'o ever rocover their normal condition
again. This stupendous, and. under
existing cirolfiiistanoes, startling troth,
should bo heedud by alt thoughtful
Democrats. Slavery, so-called, must be
restored, and will be restored it the nation
itself survives ; for it is as essential to
national existence as the lungs or heart,
or other essential organs are to tho life
of the individual nan."
Now, every goodj sound-thinking,
Christian Demoorat will acknowledge
that slavery is moially wrong, and con
sequently, politically wrong, since all
oivilixod human law, is but an emena
lion from Divino law. Thorofore,being
both morally and politically wrong, it
must bo a curse. Now, when that
great leader ot tho Democratic party
uttered the foregoing sentiment, he but
enunoiatod the views ot the great mass
of the Southern peoplo. They havo re
peatedly declared just this very thing,
that slavery must ho restored beforo
we can exist as a nation. This it is
they aro working for, and this it is
thoy havo sworu to accomplish.
But bow is it to bedonot Why by
seuding their representatives to Con
gress. Ouco there, on tho old basis of
representation, their end is gained. Uni.
ting their own forces, and gathoring
what help thoy can from their North
ern friends they will be able to prose,
cute any measure they may see proper
to bring up. With their expressed de
termination to restore slavery in all its
damning vitality staring us iu the face,

WHY I AM A REPUBLICAN.
No. 3
4th. The Republican party ii i favor
cf allowing tht negroes to exercise their
right nj suffrage.
No donht some may think this is a
reason why I should not belong to Ike
party. It is unnecessary to give a long
array ot arguments in favor of manhood
suffrage. This one print pie is sufficient:
It is not tho color ot the skin, nor the
accident ot birth, but the immortal
spirit within, that makes the man. The
low prejudice against that raoe is dying
out. Ono ot the ablest democratic
papers comes out in favor of universal
suffrage though its honesty of motive
is to be doubted. But had it not been
that the Republican party was always a
friend to the negro, he would to day be
groaning beneath tho betters of slavery,
and be driven about by the whip of a
despot far beneath his imaera'ilo slave in
true manhood. And yet we are not done
with him What U his present freedomf
The frtedora of a brute. He must be
placed in the catalogue ot human beings,
and given a fair start in life with ours
selves; and then it he surpasses us, it
will prove his right, as a superior race,
to rule over us. Let the principle be
put in action that has ho long remained
a dead lettor upon our declaration All
men aro treo and equal. Let us guide
the black man out ct the ' darkness of
slavery iato '.b clear sunlight ( tiuau
hood, and see if he doss not improve in
his new sphere.
5th. Tht Republican party f.iv rs the
Temperance Hefpnn.
i iiuiuit mero are a good many ne
' . 1 1 . .
puoucans in our p'vriy. a mi mere are
Democrats who are good tetnperanc
men. But let nt take a view of the af
fair as a wholo. We see a Republican
Congress banishing tho grog ".hops that
have so long disgraced ourCapitol build
ing; Republican members of Congress
organizing a Temperance S iciety, sign
ing tho pledge, miking speeches in
favor ot it, a Republican Governor at
the heai of a Sta'e Temperance Society;
the Republican press a unit in favor of
it, aud the reformation springing from
and sustained by Republicans. Again,
we find the leading Democratic organs
denouncing the reform, aud all tho
small fry joining in condemning the
whole affair as a 'Republican con
cern, "and what is the inference we draw!
That in this great war agVmst intem
perance, the two parties stand as they
stood during the war against slavery
and rebellion, the one battling on the
side of right, the other ia the defense ot
wrong But
"Right the day mutt wia."
If I did not believe the Republican
party to be in favor of universal suffraxe,
and the Temperance reform, I would
leave it at onco. j.
