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 !’’

Order o f the General of our armies was

“ 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

terms ? A thousand times— N o ! I f
you do not, vote against the truducer

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
