BEFORE AND SINCE THE WAR.
Under radical rule large numbers
can get no work to do, and those in
the States who manage to secure em
ployment, receive but an insignificant
pittance for their labor. The prices
of all articles they consume have been
more than doubled, while their wages
are but very little augmented. Before
the Radicals got into power there was
employment for all, at fair wages. All
classes havo been much damaged, but
the heaviest blows have fallen on the
workingmeo, and those who are the
least able to stand the imposition.
. '
liiPEAcuzfENT. As will be seen, a
test vote has been taken and the Pres
ident is acquitted. He . has passed
through the ordeal and come out like
pure gold. Seven Radical Senators
voted against the 11th article with
the Democrats, as follows: Fessen
den, of Maine ; Fowler, of Tennessee ;
Grimes, of Iowa ; Trumbull, of Illi
nois ; Van Winkle, of West Virginia;
Ross, of Kansas, and Henderson, of
Missouri. All honor to the men who
dared to do right in the face of the
bitterest opposition.
BONDHOLDERS AND BOIfDSIEN.
Thero is a great difference between
bondholders and bondmen. State
Government must exist by levies up
on the labors of the people, but tho
bondholder contributes nothing. Ho
is a gentleman, dressed in purplo and
fine linen, and fares sumptuously every
day. Each returning half year brings
his semi-annual income. Tho bond
holder sends his children to school,
but the property holder pays his
taxes. He drives his nice carriage
over the roads, but tho man who
drives the dray, tho wagon, and
ploughs the lauds, pays the tax. Tho
bondholder sends his children to
school, but from his funded puplio
stock pays no taxes. The thief who
steals his bonds is arraigned at tho
public expense, but the bondholder
contributes nothing to tho payment
of tho expenses incident to his con
viction. The bondholder is a gentle,
man of means. His fortune is secured
beyond a peradventure. Ho has no
risk of flood, or fire, or of rise or fall
in tho market. Fire consumes cities ;
wholo communities aro impoverished,
but fire does not and cannot injuro the
bondholder. The ocean engulfs ships
laden with thousands of treasure and
valuables; but the bonlholdcr loses
nothing ; his gold interest goes on
accumulating despite fires, and floods
and tempest-tossed oceans.
The bondman is a very different
sort of a person. He pays his land
lord's income taxes upon tho rent of
his houses, and has the stamp and
all other duties apparently paid by
the capitalist added to the first cost
of every commodity which he or his
family eats, or drinks, or wears, or in"
any manner consumes. Tho landlord
adds it to his rent; the butcher adds
it to his meat-bill ; the baker adds it
to his loaf; the wood and coal mer
chant adds it to the price of his fuel ;
the druggist adds it to his medicines;
the lawyer, physician, 6chool-master
and minister add it to their fee bills;
the railroad, steamboat, and coachman
add it to your fare; the merchant adds
it to your shroud; the monument
builder adds it to your tombstone.
There is no escape from this drag-net
of despotism, except in dispensing
with food, fire and shelter. Death is
the bondman's only hope of rcliefi In
all the departments of business, and
trade, the rich will grow richer, the
poor will grow poorer until they sink
beneath the crushing weight of tariffs,
taxes, imposts and stamp duties. The
extent and atrocity of taxation is
without a parallel. It has placed over
us an army of spies, detectives, con
tractors, general and subordinate offi
cers who meet. n at every corner of
the streets, and in every avenue ot
business.
The Democratic party propose to
change this state of things. They
propose to economize. They propose
to reduce taxation and to banish the
present army of officials, and let the
States collect the federal taxes. They
propose to liquidate the bonds with
greenbacks thus saving $150,000,000
annually gold interest, and wiping
out bondholders and class legislation.
Every conservative Republican ev
ery lover of himself and his kind
should aid the Democratic party in
their efforts to lessen the burdens of
the people and bring back the purer
and better days of the Republic.
HON. J. S. SMITH.
Mr. Smith came to Oregon in 1845.
Then he was a mere youth, without
profession, or trade, or money. He
worked his way across tho plains by
driving ox-teams for others. For a
time after his arrival here he worked
at rough carpenter work for Mr. Ncs
mith. He afterwards split rails for a
living, and these rails arc yet good
rails. In '47 and '48 he was teacher
in the "Oregon Institute," at Salem,
and while thus engaged he devoted
his spare hours to the study of the
law, and was admitted to tho bar in
1848 by Judge Skinnen In 1854 Mr.
Smith moved to Washington Territo
ry and settled upon Whidby's Island,
where he marked out a settler's claim
upon the unoccupied lands, built a
dwelling house, and opened an exten
sive farm and engaged largely in
stock-raising. .
3Ir. Smith is a self-made man. He
is an original thinker. As an orator
he occupies a high rank; as a man he
is singularly upright and spotless ; as
a Christian gentleman his conduct has
always tallied with his professions.
Every good man in Oregon ought to
vote for him, as he will be an honor
to our State as its Representative at
the national capital.
Vote for J. S. Smith, by all means.
VW. Will the Radical candidate for
State's Attorney in the 3rd Judicial
District tell the people all about a
real estate transaction which he figur
ed in when he was County Judge ?
Is it true that he got bold of some
lots, at low rates, which said lots were
not advertised as they should have
been ? And if so, isn't this some like
a man selling and deeding property
to himself? We want information
that's all.
11E22 EMBER!
Remember 1 That tho Negro Bu
reau maintains lusty, lazy negroes in
idleness.
Remember I That it feeds, and
clothes, and educates negroes with
money wrung from tho hard-working
white man.
Remember ! That there aro hun
dreds and thousands of whito men,
women and children in tho cities of
New York and Boston who, being un
ablo to obtain cmyloymcnt, aro actu
ally suffering tho pangs of destitution
and starvation.
Rkmemreii ! That tho Government
docs not feed them. If they had black
skins tho Government would rush to
their rescue.
Remember J That under Radical
rule and domination, a nigger enjoys
Goverment patronage denied to poor
whito men.
Remember ! That niggers are sup
ported by whito men ; and that an
army of officials and Boldiery aro nec
essary to enforce the provisions of
the nigger bureau and reconstruction
laws.
Rememder! That tho Radicals
raised and expended, last year, in a
time of profound peace, the enormous
sum of 500,000,000 !
Remember! That, under Demo
cratic administrations, tho taxes were
light very light; tho cost of run
ning tho Government rarely or never
exceeding $80,000,000 per annum.
Remember ! That the Democratic
party will, if placed in power, reduce
the annual expenses of tho Govern
ment at least one-half; and in a few
years they will extinguish the Nation
al Debt.
Remember ! That tho country was
always prosperous under Democratic
rule; and that tho people never knew
anything about high tariff, stamps,
spies, pimps, informers, and armies of
officials to harrass the people and eat
out their substance, until after the
Radical party attained power.
Remember! That if tho people
would have comparatively light taxes;
the South admitted into tho Union
upon a just and Constitutional basis;
the rights of the people in their per
sons and property maintained and se
cured ; the country saved from anarchy
and revolution; the flood-gates of cor
ruption and villainy closed up, and
the people again prosperous and hap
py, they must vote for Democrats ;
for they only can accomplish such de
sirable results. They will march up
to tho polls next Juno and show their
faith by their works by voting for Jo
seph S. Smith and the rest of the Dem
ocratic ticket.
Kemembbr! oh! Remember these
important truths !
Steady -on the wholo line !
RADICAL PJLATFOUJI.
The Radicals of Oregon met in Con
vention on the 25th of last March and
adopted a string of Resolutions, which
they dignify with the name of Plat
form. Most of these Resolutions are
bombastic full of generalities and
mere buncombe intended to mislead
and gull the people. Tho main thing
on which they are pointed and plain
is that they endorse the 13th and 14th
amendments to the Constitution and
the Reconstruction Acts of Congress
acts full of villainy and embryo ty
ranny. The Radicals are really in fa
vor of tho following :
1. Increased and never-ceasing tax
ation. .
2. Untaxed bonds for the rich.
3. Rags for the people ; gold for tho
bondholder.
4. High protective tariff for New
England manufacturers.
5. Negro mongrelism at the polls
and in the jury-box.
C. Disfranchisement of white vo
ters; enfranchisement of niggers.
f 7. Negro Senators and negro Con
gressmen. 8. Negro judges and negro jurors.
9. Negro Vice-Presidents.
10. Military satraps at an expense
of $200,000,000 annually to tho Gen
eral Government.
1 1. Trials by military commissions
instead of civil courts.
12. The right of Congress to chango
the form ot government without tho
consent of the people.
13. The right of Congress to abol
ish State Governments and establish
a military despotism over tho old
Union. ;
14. The right of Congress to force
negro equality on" all the States
without regard to the will of the peo
ple. "V"" ' '" ";
If these positions were thrown into
the form of Resolutions rounding off
each sentence with "loyal" -"trooly
loil," &c, they would be a far better
Radical Platform than that adopted
last March at Salem.
; Back Away. Several radical pa
pers, up and down the Valley, are not
pleased with some articles in the Dem
ocrat, if we may judge from their
attacks oh it arid its editor. They
can continue barking. Wo haven't
time now to stop to kick them. We
have blows to deal to' the enemy, and
and have no time to fool away defend
ing ourself.
- Bark away ! ye radical curs,
D. SlAttfilllU) AND HARVEY
fj .121X11.
It is now settled that theso gcntlo
men have bolted, and aro before tho
people of this county for their suffra
ges. Mr. Mansfield is a candidato for
tho office of County Clerk. As a man,
as a citizen, as a neighbor, wo have
nothing to say against him, or Mr.
Smith. Both of them aro our person
al friends ; and it is a source of pain
to us that they havo deliberately
placed themselves in such positions as
to mako it our duty to denounce them
for tho course they aro pursuing. Wo
like our friends much, but woliko.our
principles more.
Mr. Mansfield has repeatedly been
the recipient of favors at tho hands of
tho Democratic party. Ho was elect
ed to tho office of County Clerk by
them ; and by them was subsequent
ly re-nominated to tho same office ;
but tho party was defeated that year
and ho was not elected. Ho is a man
of somo means; but we aro credibly
informed that tho greater portion of
his property was made whilo holding
offices conferred on him by the Dem
ocracy of Linn county. Yet, without
any cause of offence on their part, ho
now turns against tho party that
made him, and is doing all in his pow
er to defeat it next June. Ho has
raised his arm to strike the hand that
has ever fed and caressed him. Ho
docs not pretend that his political
principles havo undergone any change.
Hois still a Democrat a u copper
head" still not "trooly loil." He did
not submit his name to the Democrat
ic Convention for nomination ; conse
quently ho does not even havo the
privilege of asserting that he was
"slaughtered," and that the Conven
tion was "packed," and all that sort
of humbuggery. He is running im
ply because he loves the "loaves and
fishes" most intensely. He has been
bought over to the Radicals by their
promise to vote for him. For this he
turns his back upon long-tried and
true friends. For this he is doing all
ho can to disorganize and defeat the
party who found him poor, and who
placed him in comfortable, if not af
fluent circumstances. For this he
proves a traitor to the Democratic par
ty. Harvey Smith, Kq., is an avowed
candidate for the office of Sheriff. He
was a candidate before the Democrat
ic Convention for re-nominatton, but
was unsuccessful. At the very next
meeting of the Democratic Club of
Albany he addressed the Clnb,making
a good Democratic speech, and declar
ed thai he would support the entire
Democratic ticket. He fully and com
pletely ratifie4 and endorsed tho ac
tion of the Convention, arfd maintain
ed that every true Democrat would
yield the entire ticket a cordial and
hearty support. Also, we believe,
but we are not positive that he made
speeches elsewhere, in which he took
the same grounds substantially ; and
we know that he privately repeatedly
stated that he would not be a candi
date that tho Convention had settled
that question, and he would support
tho entire Democratic ticket. He de
nied being a candidato up to the eve
ning previous to the day on which tho
Radical wire-pullers met at Lebanon
and nominated their ticket. Of course
we cannot tell exactly what bargain
was made between him and them ;
nor is this, material. It is sufficient
for us to know that ho has bolted, de
spite all his protestations of fealty to
friends, and party, and principle. It
is sufficient for us to know that ho is
now trying to tear down the party he
has labored to build up ; it is suffi
cient for us to know that ho is "cheek
by jowl" with those who have de
nounced him as a "traitor," and "cop
perhead," and who have expressed a
pious desire to help hang him, and all
like him, on a ,60ur-applo tree. His
conduct in this thing is inexplicable
and unaccountable. It is also suici
dal ; for his old party friends will for
sake him; so will his Radical friends
in less than two weeks from this; for
he will be beaten just as surely as his
name is Harvey Smith and ho runs on
tho Radical ticket. Mark that. Stick
a pin there. Aud after ho shall havo
been defeated we hope, not that ho
will be hung on a crab-apple tree, but
that the Democracy will employ tho
Band to play the "Dead March" for
his especial benefit and that of his
brother bolter, Mansfield.
We call upon Democrats through
out the county to go to work in earn
est. Let each man talk to his friend
and neighbor ; circulate tho docu
ments ; scatter light ; be diligent and
persevering. Let us administer a re
buke to these renegades theso trai
tors to party and principle-r-that they
will never forget, though they should
live to be as old as Methuselah.
Let every man vote tho straight
Democratic ticket
The Blue Mountain Times, publish
ed at La Grande, is boasting that the
Radical party favors nigger suffrage.
It advocates Logan's election of course.
A tax title question having been in litiga
tion 48 years in an Ohio court, has just been
decided,
THE CAYL'HE TICKET.
After a great deal of trouble, and
pain, and labor after meeting secret
ly three or four times after the Know
Nothing, Loyal League, dark-lantern
fashion, tho Radicals of Linn coun
ty havo finally succeeded in patching
up a county ticket. .. Of course it is a
hybrid, Cayuso arrangement, and is
designed and intended to distract and
divide tho Democratic party of Linn
county. Tho two best offices those
of County Clerk and Sheriff are left
blank; but it is well understood that
tho Radicals will fill up the blank of
the first office with the narao of D.
Mansfield, and that of the second with
the name of Harvey Smith; both apos
tate Democrats both traitors to the
Democratic party.
It remains to bo seen whether the
rank and file of tho Radical party
will vote for these two men. It re
mains to be seen whether Union men
who, for the last ix years, have de
nounced them as "copperheads" and
"traitors to their country," will now
turn round and support them for tho
two best offices in tho gift of the peo
ple of this county. They have for
saken and betrayed the Democratic
party without any just cause; what
assurance have their new friends that
they will not turn traitor to them in
the time of trial ?
NTIRRINC1 VV THE JIOXKEYN.
The editor of the Oregon Herald
was ono day this week attacked by S.
J. McCormick, of that place. McC.
is out for office ; ho has turned over
to the Radicals for a mess of pottage;
and the Jlcrald has been exposing
some of his greenback transactions,
and this makes him mad ; and so he
has resorted to personal violence to si
lence the Herald. If he had attacked
the Herald editor in a bold, open and
fair manner we should not have inter
fered in the matter; but aa he stole
up behind him and attacked him like
a coward or assassin, we cannot let it
pass in silence. McC. has himself act
ed as editor; and he knows full well
that all the Herald said about him
was fair and legitimate. If he did
use several hundred dollars in gold
placed in hi hand by a friend, for
two or three years, and then finally
paid that friend only when threatened
with a law suit, and then in green
backs, we ay he ought to be exposed ;
and what is more, every voter in
Multnomah sdiould set their seal of
condemnation upon him.
C!EO.RriIEEJI.
Ererjbody in Linn cuuoty knows George.
He Iiom been rinttl here. He wa educated
here, and he took his rise here. (Jrorgo is a
Linn county boy all over. Ho is a Erst-chm
lawjer now ; and is a honorable, ant! gen
erous as his heart is big. He is full of no
ble and generous impulses. He stuck to the
party in its darkest dnjs, and he has sjwnt
his time nnd money for the good of the party.
So brow-beating, no obstacles cuuld make
him swerrc onehairVbrcadtk from the line
of duty.
The Radicals are moving heaven and earth
to compass his defeat. They know if they
can only put him down if they can only
break his backbone they will be more like
ly to succeed in the future. They have put
Mansfield, a renegade Democraton the
track against him. They think MansSeld
will take with him enough Democratic rotes
to elect him County Clerk. Their policy is
to divide and conquer. It is a very nice
plot but it won't win. The great body of
the Democracy of .inn county are true as
steel and will not falter. Mansfield may be
a very good man, but ho is a traitor to his
party and to his principles, and the voters
of Linn will ect their seal of condemnation
upon him tho first of nest month.
Hurrah I for George Helm I
ROBERT A. IRVINE.
When Mr. Irvine was nominated for Sher
iff we did not personally know him. Of
course we made inquiries concerning him ;
and it so happened that the first representa
tions we received concerning him were very
unfavorable. We were told that he was an
illiterate, yahoo sort of fellow, barely able
to write bis name, living away up in the
Forks of tho Santiam ; and that he was a
sort of outlandish fellow and if elected would
be a disgrace to tho party.
A few days ago Mr, Irvine called on us
and spent an hour or two in our company ;
and wo aro glad to bo able to say that he has
been most shamefully misrepresented. ' He
stands so well with his neighbors that he re
ceived more than two-thirds of the votes of
the primary Convention. While wo do not
understand him to pretend to be a very eru
dite man ; yet ho who takes him to be an ig
noramus and yahoo will be hugely deceived.
He can write at least as good a hand as his pre
decessor i he is a man of good; sound practi
cal sense and judgment, and is well posted in
every-day questions and business matters.
In religion he is Cumberland Presbyterian
in good .and regular standing. We predict
he will make a good and efficient sheriff.
Heard From. Our county candidates
havo : opened tho campaign vigorously,
and havo addressed tho citizens of Peoria,
Harrisburg. and Brush Creek, and will
speak to day at Brownsville. We are
told that the fceliDg among Demoorats
against Harvey Smith and D, W. Mans
field is exceedingly hitter and intensified;
and that macv, who hitherto have been
indifferent and lukewarm, will go to work
now for tho whole ticket in good earnest.
Tho fires are kindliDg and bolters and
radicalism will be wiped out raost effectu
ally the first of next J uno.
Hurrah ! for the Demooratio ticket.

1 Chicago, May 15. The Kepablican State
Convention of Minnesota met at St. Paul
yesterday, and selected delegates to the
Chicago Convention and . Presidential Elec
tors. Tho Convention declared for Grant
and Wade. A number of the delegates to
tho Republican National Convention have
already arrived. Others are coming in rap
idly. Chicago, May 15. A dispatch from
Cheyenne says that Generals Sherman, Au
gur, Terry, and Col. Tappan, Indian Peace
Commissioners, returned from Fort Laramie
to-day. They report that they have conclu
ded a treaty with the Crows, Sioux, North
ern Cheyennes and Arapnhoes. All hare
agreed to keep the peace and settle on res
ervations. Generals Harney and San borne,
and M. S. White, Secretary of the Commis
sion, remain at Laramie, where they are ex
pected to-day. Generals Sanborne and Har
ney are arranging for the removal of a large
party of Indians from Laramie to a reserva
tion on the mission. About 100 Sioux, who
are believed to have committed the late dep
redations on the line of the railroad are still
on the war path. ( Red Cloud sent word that
he and his warriors are in the mountains
waiting for the evacuation of the military
posts, and when abandoned they will come
down to meet the Commissioners. General
Augur goes to Fort Bridger to meet the
Snakes, and Sherman and Tappan to New
Mexico to meet the Navajos and to Forts
Randall and Sully to arrange for the recep
tion and location of the Indians on the res
ervation. Chicago, May 10, Noon. Tho Senate
has voted on the eleventh article. The vote
stood 35 for conviction and 19 for acquittal.
The following Senators voted with the Dem
ocrats j Feisenden, Fowler, Grimes, Trum
bull, Van Winkle, Ross and Henderson.
Wasmixcto.v, May 10. 12 in. The Sen
ate is now discussing a motion to adjourn.
New York, May 15 The Tribunes Wash
ington dipr,tch says that Anthony and
Sprague are both doubtful, and are claimed
by the President's friends as sure to vote for
aequittal.
The Timet1 special says the impeachers
hare failed to elicit any testimony proving
that corrupt means have been used to influ
ence Senators to favor an acquittal. The
story is made out of common rumor and was
a trick to raise funds in New York to help
the President.
Washington, May 15. Senator Conkling
continues to improve in health and will prob
ablybe able to appear in the Senate to-morrow.
Grimes is also in abetter physical con
dition. Howard don't show any marked signs
of convalescence.
M. D. Randolph. Chief Clerk in the Treas
ury Department, died to-dny aged 08.
Vahi.oton, May 17. The following
statement is predicated, on information do
rive 1 from a highly rcpectablo source : , It
is generally known that some members, if
not all of the President's Cabinet, have sig
nified their willingneM to retire from office,
and hence there is much speculation on that
subject. Prominent gentlemen of both par
ties, in conversation recently, agreed on the
sentiment that most of the trouble between
Congress and the President springs from the
defeat of the executive administration under
the present form of government; that if the
Minmtry here, as in England, would retire
and give place to another, in Accordance to
the cxpreed will of the people, we would
bare secured peare long ago, and reconstruc
tion under the President's plan have long
been rejected. It is now thought by Con
gressmen of both parties that he will agree
to adroit southern representatives in any
practicable way, which docs not exercise an
effect on their judgment in passing on the
articles of impeachment. It is said that if
impeachment had not been pending, there is
little doubt that a new cabinet would long
since have been designated, composed of the
great digting.mhcd nnd eloquent men of the
country. It should not, therefore, create
surprise tif a change bouid be made in the
complexion of j.luicl aSair. If thee
conjecture should Ihj realized, it will remain
for the Senate, in view of the probable de
feat of tho remaining articles of impeach
ment on the 20th int.j to accept or reject
what is offered, and if accepted in god
faith, it must soon lead to a restoration of
union, peace and prosperity immediately.
It is untrue that Johns m has indicated t'.e
precise parties or character of his contem
plated cabinet appointments, further than
they shall be men of eminent abilities, such
as to challenge the confidence and respect of
the entire country.
The Impeachment Managers will com
mence to-roorrdw an inquiry as to the al
leged improper or corrupt means said to have
been used to influence the determination of
tho Senate upon the articles of impeach
ment. There is no truth whatever in the re-
Sort that Chief Justice Chase allied Tester
ay on President Johnson to congratulate
him on the result of the Senators' vote on
eleventh article of impeachment. 1
Scio Stage Line. Messrs. Irvine &
31 orris, of Scio, now run a four-horse stage
from Salem to Eugene City, passing
through Aumsville, Scio, Lebanon, and
Brownsville. By this line,' the traveler,
will pass through one of the most delight
ful sections of Oregon, the road almost the
whole distance running close to the foot
of tho mountains, with the further advan
tage of making the entire trip in daylight,
tho stage lying over at Scio on Tuesday
night, and at Browisville ou Wednesday
night, reaching Eugene on Thursday.
Tho roads are good, and the 'fare low
only $G through. To those who desire a
pleasant land trip up the country, we
would recommend this route. The stage
leaves every Tuesday at noon, and on Sat
urdays an extra stage goes direct to Scio.
Salem Record.
A Disgusting ExniBiTiON.-Tn Chest
nut street this morning, upon the Prome
nade where all was brightness and beauty,
conspicuously among the throng on the
north side of the street, walked a male negro
upon whose arm leaned a beautiful and
richly dressed whito woman. We, saw the
same disgusting spectaclo on Saturday.
That wo almost doubted the evidence of
our senses is shown in the fact than wo
made no mention of the unusual sight.
This morning wo saw the same couplo.

woman is young, very lady-like in mien,

she might bo of tho demi tnonde. Of this

Negro Supremacy.

They have a negro common council in
New Orleans, and tho radicals of that
city haro put up a negro alderman to de
mand admission for his daughter in ono
of the "educational convents' (or pri
vate boarding school for young ladies), of
that city. His demand could not ho com
plied with, and he has brought ft suit
: it - Lit i i i
bui us ii me t'siUDiuuiucuv, idyiuu ui
damages at $10,000. The New York Ex
press well says " this if but the begin- '
ning of u gigantic trouble, for the crea
tion of which there was not the the slight
est reason. Tho ' rignts" of the colored
race could havo been secured to them
without any infringement of the right
of the whites in this matter. But th
radicals are determined upon negro su
premacy both social and political. Jblyenfs
show this clearly. Even the saeredi pre
etnets of ft religious institution presided
over by ladies, cannot be allowed.7 to es
cape the presence of the all-pervading
negro." We know of none who; desire
to abridge the rights of person or prop
erty of the colored people. On the con
trary, they are entitled to every protec
tion known by tho laws but they have
now moved that thercatrictrons io pi irate
boarding schools shall be abolished to
suit their tastes. Let them have schools
of their own, in which every good -citizen
will wish them God-speed ; but if such
attempts as the above arc resorted to and
which the radicals are pushiog there
will arise the most serious consequences
to them, and to the people generally.
Think of the trouble and annoyance
to those who' have the school in
charge, by this malicious suit-at-law,
which can do no good to the colored peo
ple of New Orleans, but much injury to
all clafe. If this is the beginninc of
negro political equality, what will its end
ing be ? Quiney (III.) Herald. -
