But tue enlightened, liberal and generous Commander o f th<* United States armies, banishes all Jews found within his lines, uuder penalty of im- pri-oumeut and transportation. What a noble specimen o f patriotism, military prowess and statenmiship. ‘ * Let's have peace / ” From war, to the republic o f letters, only a step in Jewish history. Yet General Grant was an inmate and is a graduate o f Wost Point— can it'be pon. sible that he is ignorant o f history I Did it never occur to him that there flourished centuries ago, one Flavius Josephus, whose history will be read when General Grant will be gathered to his ancestors ? Are the names o f ' Denary, Wehl and Nea»dca unknown to fam e? Is Maimonides a rnvth ? And did the master o f modern philo-o- phy, Spinosa. ever exist in the mind of Lieutenant Grant, when he issued his famous edict o f Tenuessee? “ Let no Jew be found within the lines, when four and twenty hours have elapsed !’’ '• Let's have p ea ce!” Russia gives us a figure o f distin* guished ability in the person o f Count Cancian, at the head o f Russian finauce. A n l even Spain, Catholic Spain, l»e>ps honors on the head o f Senor Mlindza- bel, whilst Prussia acknowledges the diplomatic skill and financial ability o f Count Arniiu. France lifts up her scroll, aud we read the names o f Cre tin ux, Persicre aud Fould. Reisser and Jacobi are names familiar in G er many, and M. Godfroi and M. Asscr are names second to none in the king dom o f Holland Yet General Giant would have us believe that the Tews are entitled to no consideration. In other words, they had and have no rights that he was bound to re-p eet! “ Let us have peace ! ” Take, finally, ihe realm o f M u sic; who have we in this glorious region o f melody and song? It is the true field o f genius from the hour when Miriam sang her requiem over the hosts Pha raoh. until the present day. the timbrel and the harp have never been sileut in Isreal. Rossini, Mcndelshon and Mcy oibeer— enough to make a nation glo rious. The tragic aud lyric drama alike boasts o f a Rachel, a Pasta aud a Grisi. And thongh “ music has charms to soothe the savage beast,” the savage Order o f the General of our armies was put in force and executed against a whole people, for purposes wnich he cannot and dare not explain. “ L et us hare peace / ’’ W e utter no empty lamentations when we unhesitatingly, and upon m i. ture di liberation, yic d to the persecu ted race one o f the foremost places, one o f 'he most elevated niches in the tem ple o f Fame. And though Some may ascribe their prominent and proud po* sition, among the great o f all lauds, to the toleration, charity and spirit o f the age, believe it is due to the imperative necessity o f things, which -in this era o f advanced progression imperiously calls for lof ty intellect, extraordinary abili y and unsullied integrity. Before the intellectual greatness o f Jewish historical characters, the pale fires o f General Grant’s g< nius glimmers in vain, and nought will be remembered in a few short months of the Radical leader but his foolish and exercrable edict, his relentlebS hate aud malignant ferocity. But we have done with the Imperial candidate, and ask the yet free and independent Jewish voters o f Califor. nia, whether they will surrender their liberties upon the altar o f military d< 8- potisui, or stand by the pillars o f Con*» stitut'onal freedom and religious toler ation ! The Rradicals are driving tho chariot o f tlfb Union, like that o f Ph® ton, to dcstrucion. Vote for Grant and Colfax, and their bigoted followers, and what security, think jo u , jrou id the Jewish citizen have for his life, libertv, or property ? The security o f implicit anil craven submission ; tho security which all tyrants accord to tho.-e subjects who cririge and crawl. No other. Lrealiics o f California! Do you want to purchase security on such terms ? A thousand times— N o ! I f you do not, vote against the truducer o f your race; finite the merciless ma ligner o f your people as you would up. hold the safeguards o f your liberties acd your lives. “ Let us have peace.” A correspondent o f the San Frai cisco Examiner, who signs himself “ At Irish Catholic,” says: Most o f your readers have some idea o f General But ler’s New Or'cans order. But hav« they ever studied that other order which emanated fr«>,m the imperial brain of General Grant— his fatuous or in famous order “ banishing the Jews.” Both orders are alike. They are cast in the same ruthless mould— they are the emanations o f that fell spirit o f arbitrary power which flourishes upou the ruins o f civil and religious liberty Butler and G ran t! the head, front, aud tail o f Radicalism. Nay, they arc its very incarnations. But for cold-blooded malignity— for wanton, cruel and sweeping vindictive, ness, the petty order o f the tyrant o f New Orleans sinks into insigii .fi<;. nee beside the atm ions edict o f the Radi- ical candidate for the Presidency o f the United States. It is somewhat remarkable that in this nineteenth ceutury, in this boast ful age of enlightenment and progress, aud in this free laud o f liberty, where all are placed upon an equality before the law, that the dead past— the buried ghost o f religious fanaticism— could find a champion to rival the dark days ot the Spanish Inquisition. But alas ! the idea is a fallacious one— fur in the person of the Republican candidate, we behold a champion ot proscription, who would punish, persecute and de stroy one class o f our fellow citizens, for no crime, but to satisfy and satiate a eowardly and vulgar prejudice. But the order fulminated by Gen. Grant against the Jews, is in keeping aud in strict accordance with Radical professions of friendship for the op pressed and down.trodden o f all lands, it is the pun tea Jides o f a party, who promise only to betray. But here let us ask, agaiust whom was this outrageous aud cruel decree directed ? Against what people, “ as a cla -s,/ was this monstrous proclama tion trumpeted to the world ? Let history, ancient aud modern, sacred and profaue, proclaim. W e will uot go back to the early ages o f the world’s h,story, when A bra ham offered sacrifice, aud Joseph ruled in the laud o f E gypt— when the great law-giver, Moses, dw elt upon the Mount, and Joshua, the great Com in nder led the proscribed race to the land o f promise. It is uot necessary for our object here to mention David with his beautiful psalms, or Solomon who uttered more proverbs o f philosophy, and wisdom, than any sage or philosopher since his time. A re the gorgeous aud magoifi cent prophecies o f Isaiah, worded in the language of inspiration ; or those visions painted by Ezkiel iu a dialect as beautiful as they are expressive— are they a delusion ? or have we for eighteen hundred years been cherish ing in fancied security an idle dream ? But General Grant issued his decree, which is a crime agaiust humanity aud civilization. “ L ei us have p ea ce!” Let us turn aside from those brillia.it and dazzling lights that throw a halo aud a glory around the Jewish name, aud turn for support to more accessible data and modern tim es; and what do we behuid ? Battling with superhu. man energy and a will which knew no such word as fail, with no influence or friends at court, no Stanton or no Wash burne to extend a helping hand, noth ing bnt genius and intellect— one of that despised race, to day, looks down from his high eyrie, as Lord Prime Minister ot Englaud. Aud in our own country, who stands at the head of the great Conservative element of the nation ? Another descendant of the banished Hebrew, August Bel monf. And, mayhap, had uot the star o f tho South gone down in blood, an other scion o f that hated race, Beuja. min, might have ruled the destinies ot the Confederacy. But General Grant banished the Jews “ as a class.” Was it the act of a Christian «entleinau, or a brave sol dier, to subject a whole people to need less insult aud wrong. *■ L et us have peace / ” But it is unnecessary to mention the great and illustrious names that shine out like beacon fires, in the political firmanent o f Englaud and America. The Lord Mayor of the first city in Christendom is a jew. And the opu lence, power and wealth of the Roth sehilds, are not greater than their tal euts. I l is not the field o f finance, or the arena o f politics, that Jewish talent Some rich men keep cross dogs and genius is circumscribed. In every around their houses, so that the hun region sacred to the empire o f intellect, the Jew will be found side by side with gry poor who stop to “ get a bit?” a m the greatest o f Earth's children.
