Not a elnglo Northern State would ever consent to any such thmg, nor will auy Southern State ever jy pose it. The freedom of the oolored race being a fixed fact, the white and the colored races can have no separate and distinct political inlcieju. It is the interest of the colored co that we ehould have a sound constitutional government, the laws nf which shall afford equal and impartial protection to the right of all without distinc tion of fice or color. It is aiso theii Interest that such laws should be wise ly and impartially administered by virtuous and intelligent men. And this is rs much the interest of the white as It la of iha oolored race.

If they vote in very large number, with the intelligent and respectable white people of the country, for the elec tion of Gov.

Such is now the sentiment of the Democratic and Conservative party as expressed by its wisest; most thoughtlul and j most intelligent members. We have recently cotifeied with quite a num her of them iff both the old political I parries, and all of tlienrt ooncnr with us iu these views." tor oursolt, at least, wo say that' we will use our best I A . J A exertions to secure a qnanneu sm- frasre to the colored tace whatever may happen. AVc would, then, appeal to the col ored people in otir midst, many of whom read our paper, to consider carefully what we have said above. We would also appeal to them to re flect upon what has already happen ed in their brief experience since po litical piiviliges have been confmcd upon them. Have any of the lavish promises of lauds aud mules been complied with ? Are they not 6utis-. fied that the only use which the rad icals have for them is the us? of their i . .1 i . . . .rtJ t votes to elevate inemseives u oiuey i Are they not convinced of this by the fact that in the North, Ohio, In diana, Kansas and Michigan, for in stance, where they do not need the votes of the colored men to give them tho control, they have refused by heavy majorities to allow The colored men to vote! And have not the intelligent and virtuous among tfiem a just contempt for that class of ad ventures, u.-ually called "carpet bag gers," who coino among them and en deavor to obtain their voles for them selves and their party by sowing dis sent ions between them and their for mer masters with whom tltey have heretofore lived, and among whom they most continue to live And are they not satisfied by this time that their old masters, and the intelligent whife inen of the couhtry generally, are the oniy friends upon whom they can rely for sympathy, employment and support. And finally we would ash the intelligent of them whether they are not possessed of .an mo of the feelings and "pride of manhood whether, knowing as they do that they can never be the lawgiving and governing race, as a race, they would not rather unite witB ail tint 'a higb toned, generous snd just among tbe white race iu tbo settlement and irr.provemt-nt of tbe government of tbe country, than with a set of men, saeb as most of tbe radical leaders arc, ot low most ot w ,-T;T' 2 I breeding and of low instiucts, tbe yankae portion of which have eft their for their ewuy' rasa w Jaal waa are uii worthy of til political aaao elation esn speclable colored ma . 4 Hut wt would bars' n colored pnnyle renieuibrr that Um Democrat and Coo- I P"""1" "" - ,ua, no 77 , 7' i ! .

Thoughtful men will see that there have been wrong in the financial management which have been kept from the public knowledge. The Con gressional party has not only allied itself with military power, which is to be brought to bear dTrcctly upon the eietions in many Suites, but it aiso holds itself in perpetual session, with tbe avowed purpose of making such laws as it ahall see fr, in vw w of the elections which will take place witiiin a within a few weeks, it did Hut, therefore, adjourn, but took a re cess to meet again, if its partisan interests should demand its reassembling. Never before in the history of our country has Congress thus taken a menacing attitude towards its electors. Under its influence, some of the States organized by its agents are proposing to deprive ihc (..ople of the right to vote for Presidential electors, and the hrst bold steps are taken to destroy the right of suffrage. It is not strange, therefore, that ihoughtfl men see in such action the proof that there are, with those who shape the policy of the Republican party, motisfs stronger and deeper than the mere wish to hold political power that there ii a dread of some exposure, which drives tliein ou to acts desperate and impolitic. Miiny of tho abirHt leaders and journals of the Republican paity have openly deprecated the violence of Congressional action, and its en deavor to keep im discord in our country. Tbe great interests of our Union demand peace or der and a return to those industrial pursuits without which we cannot maintain the honor of our Government. Tbe minds of business men are perplexad. by onoertaintiea. The hours of toil of our lahorcrs are lengthened by the cost of. Jiving; made cx!cssi.ve.by. the di rect, and indirect exactions of Uovernment. Our people are harassed by tbe heavy and fre quent demands of the tax-gathers. Without distinction of party, there is a strong feeling in favor of that line of action which shall restore order and confidence, and shall lift up the burdens which now hinder and vex the industry of the country. Yet at this moment those in power have thrown into the Senate Chamber a:id Congressional hall new elements of discord and rioleace. Men have been admitted as representatives of soineof the Southern States, with tbe declaration upon their lipa that they cannot, without military protection, live in the Ststes they chum to represent. These n?et are to make laws for the North, as well as the South. These men who. a few davs aioce. were seeking as sup pliants that Congress would give tbem power within their n-spedtree States are to-dy the masters and controllers of tbe actions of those bodies. Entering there with minds flSed with ptrjndice, and hearts with passion, their first demands hare been that taagcm ahaa fooJt upon tbe State from which they, cow a in a condition of ciril war: that the majority of their populations, embracing their intelligence, Oi.n h treated as noblie enemies: that rmli- tarv forces shall be kept up at tbe cost of tbe people of tb. Korth, and that there shall be nTce and order sf the 8ootb, save that no peace which is. ia made by arbitrary power. id Cowgr u Lb dior eWio um Mouth.

Many Re publicans who bare heretofore dung to their party bare regret (led the extremes ol riolence to which it baa ran. They have oherisbed a faith, that while the actions of their political party friends hare been mistaken, their mo tires have been good. These moat now are that the Rcpublicnii jarty is i" that condition that it cannot carry out a wise and pi seat el policy, wlialerer its moiire maybe. It is a misfortune, oot only to a country, bat to a gOTerwiog party itself, when its action is un checked by any form ol opposition. It has been tbe misfortune of the Republican party that die event s of the past few years hare given it so much power that it has been able toshaekle the KEecutive, to trammel ine juai ciarr. and to carry out the views of the most unwise ami violent of its members. When ibis state of things exists in any party, it baa ever been found that tbe sober judgment of lit ablest leaders does not control There is hard ly an able man who helped to build up iba Republican organisation, who has within the past three years warned it sgniust the excesses, who hat not been borne down and forced to give up his convictions of what the interests of the country called for; or. if too patriotic to do this, w ho has not been driven from its ranks. If this has been the esse heretofore, what will be its actiuo now, with this new in- lueiou of men who, without a deocnt respect for the views of tboao who hare just risen them their positious, begin their legislative course with calls for armswith demands that their State be regarded aa ill a condition of ciril war, and with the declaration that tbey . . i . . . . n r are ready ami anxioua to uegrane ine rrew dent of die United States whenever the r can leans Himginii to hrmg forward rKtaueae na.tv. as well as we. are interest -rr .', r .. '.i.:. . ed in nultinc some check upon this violence. tl must be clear to overy thinking man rnat a division of political power tend to check the violence ot party action, and to assure the peace snd good order of society. The election ot a Democratic Ext cutive and a majority of Democratic members to tho House of Repie senUtives would not give to that party organi sation the power to make sudden or violent changes ; but it would serve to check these extreme measures which have been deplored by the best men of both political organ is tions The result would most certainly lead to that peaceful restoration of the Union and re-esUb-lishment of fraternal relations which the coun try desires. I am sure that tbe best men of tlie Republican party deplore as deeply aa I do the spirit of violence shown by those recently admitted to seats iu Congress from the South. The condition of civil war which they contem plate must be aborent to every right thinking mttn- . - I have no mere personal wishes which mis lead my judtrment in regard to the pending election. No man who has weighed and measured the duties of the office of President of the United States can fail to be impressed with the cares and toils of him who is to meet its demand. It is not merely to float with (he popular current, without, a policy or a pur pose; on the contrary, while our Constitution gives just weight to the popular vrul, its dis tinguishing feature is that it 9ceks to protect the rights of minorities; its greatest glory is thst it puts restraints upon power.: it given force and form to those maxims and principles of civil liberty for Which the martyrs of free dom have) struggled through ages ; it declares the riirht of die people ' to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against un reasonable searches and seizuies;" that "Con gress shall make no law respecting an estab lishment of religion, or prohibiting the free ex ercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech or of tbe press, or the right of tbe peo ple to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." 1k secures "the right ef a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury." p5gg ties of the presidential office unless he is not only willing to carry ont the wishes of the people, expressed in n constitutional way, but is also prepared to stand up for the rights of minorities, lie must be ready to uphold the free exercise of religion. He must de nounce measures which would wrong per sonal or home righta or the religions consci ence of the humblest citizen of the land. He most maintain , without distinction of creed or nationality, all the privileges of American citizenship. The experience bf every public man who has been faithful to his trust teaches him that no one can do tbe duties of the office of Pres ident unless he is ready not only to undergo the falsehoods aud abuse of the had, hot ot suffer from the censure of the good, who are misled by prejudices and misrepresentations. There ara no attractions in snch positions which deceive my judgment when I say that a great change la going on in the public anna. Tha of. the publican- party are more thoughtful, temperate and just than, ihey were during the escitement which at tended tbe progress and close of the civil war. i 1 As tbeenergy of tba Democratic party springs from their devotion to their cause, snd not to their candtdntea.
