Mr. Toombs of Geor gia, opdnly announced his approval of it in tne &enate, and Jetterson Davis, four mdnths.after its occurrence, wrote a letter ;to South Carolina in fulsome eulogy of Brooks for having so nearly taken your life.

All the nays were Democrats who are now unanimous in support of Mr. Greeley. It is idle to affirm as some Democrats did in a resolution offered by Mr. Brooks, of New York, that "these amendments are valid parts of the Constitution " so long as the same men on the same day vote that the provis ions of those amendments should not be enforced by Congressional legisla tion. The amendments are but "sound ing brass and tinkling cymbals " to the colored man until Congress makes them effective and , practical. Nay more : if the rights of the colored man are to be left to the legislation of the Southern States, without Congressional intervention, he would under a Demo cratic administration be deprived of the right to suffrage in less than two years, and he wodld" be very lucky if he escaped some form of chattel slavery several members of the present so-called State Democratic Central Committee of Michigan is . at hand.

Horace Greeley has been the archenemy of the Democracy during his long and active political life. He has done more than any score of men to bring the party to its present weak ened condition in point of political effi ciency. There is no cherished principle otic heart. As an old and sincere Dem ocrat, anxious that the party with which, up to the time of the war. he eagerly co-operated should retain its consistency and its honor, he deplores the unnatural and demoralizing com bination into which in an evil moment it has been betrayed. He sees that success or failure for it auspices will be nothing more nor less than disgrace.

If I have cor rectly examined the Globe, the Demo cratic members on' seventeen different Occasion's resisting the passage of the Civil Rights Bill by the Parliamentary process known as Fillibustering. They Would not even allow it to come to a Vote.:: Two intelligent colored members from! .South Carolina, Elliott and Rainey begged of the Democratic side Of the house to merely allow the Civil Rights Jiill to be. voted onj and they Were answered with a denial so abso lute that it amounted to a scornful jeer of the rights of the colored man. And now you lend your voice, and influ ence to the re-election of these Demo .cratic 'members who are co-operating with you in the support of Mr. Greeley. Do you not .Know, Mr. Bumner, ana will you! not as a candid man acknowl edge that with these men in power in Cjongresij'the rights of the colored men jae absolutely sacrificed so far a3 those rights depend on Federal " legislation ? 11 Still further: the rights of the colored linen in this country are secured, if se cured at 'all, by the three great. Consti tutional amendments, the 13th,'. 14th' and 15th To give these amendments full scope and: effect, legislation by Congressl is imperatively required, as you. have so often and eloquently de monstrated. But the Democratic party are oil record in the most conspicuous manner against any legislation on the their risrhts will be of the Democratic party you delude and mislead them I do not say willfully, but none the less really. The small handful of Republi cans compared with the whole mass who unite with yourself and Mr. Gree ley in going oyer- to the Democratic fmrty, cannot leaven that lump of po itical unsoundness even if you preserve your .own original , principles . in. the contact. .The administration of Mr. Greeley, therefore, should he be elected, would be in the 'whole and in detail a Democratic administration, and you would ,be - compelled, to go with the current or repeat anL turn back when too lat-o4 jo ie ovi you had'aon; does "not become a DemQcratby receiv ing Democratic votes-TIluatrating it by the analogy of your own election to tne; Senate is hardly pertinent. The point is not what Mr. Greeley will become personally, but what will be the com plexion of the great Legislative branch of the Government with all its vast and. controlling power. You know very well, Mr. Sumner, that if Mr. Greeley is elected President, Congress is handed over to the control of the party who have persistently denied the rights of the black man. What course you will pursue towards the colored man is of small consequence after you have transferred the power of government to his enemy I rue coior ed men of. this country, are not as a class enlightened : but they have won derful instincts, and when they read vour letter thev - will know that at a great crisis in their fate you deserted them. Charles Sumner co-operating with Jefferson Davis is not the same Charles Sumner they have hitherto idolized aify more than Horace Gree ley, cheered to the echo in Tammany Hall, is the same Horace Greeley whom the Republicans have hitherto trusted The black men of this country will never be ungrateful for what you have done for them in the past nor, in tne bitterness of their hearts will they ever forsret that heated and blinded by per sonal hatred of one man, you turned your back on the millions to whom in the nasi vears vou have stood as a shield and bul ward of defense !

He buttons within his coat, and covers with his hat, more of oppo sition to the Democracy than any other American citizen. In addition to all this, his warfare upon us has been con ducted with a personal bitterness such as no other of our opponents has ever manifested. There is scarcely an epi thet of reproach, or a disgraceful term known .among vulgar people that he has net made use of to express his dis gust for our principles and party lead ers. This is the man whom a "Demo cratic" National Convention offers to Democrats for their votes in place of a Democrat. , As I view the action of the Convention it is nothing less than an attempt by a most disgusting and dis graceful bargain and sale, to transfer the "votes of the Democratic masses to the self-styled Liberal; Republican South Carolina Alabama. .

Those who expect a Democratic- administration Irom Horace Greeley must assume him to be shamefully dishonest in politics, which, if true, should be reason enough for every Democrat withholding his vote from him.

In a Masonic Address in The Norfolk Journal delivered before the Suffolk (Va.) Lodge by the Rev. Wm. G. Starr, on the 26th day of last June, we find the following account of what Free Masonrv did for a ooor wounded Fed erai soldier who was lying in 'front of the works of Gen; Hoke of this State at the second battle of Cold Harbor : ' At the second battle of Cold Harbor the repulse of the Federals left the ground in front of the Confederate works strewn - with their dead and wounded. These lying more than a day under a hot July sun, U DYIXG WITH THIRST, ' begged piteously for help but the Federal lines were so close, that none could leave the protection of the breast work without becoming a target for their guns. Some dragged themselves to the ditch and were hoisted , over by means of waist belts buckled arid let down so as to reaeh them. j At this time when to cross the works seemed certain death, two men came to headquarters and asked permission to bring in a wounded Federal lying in their front. They were referred to the order prohibiting such reckless expos ure, and the danger of the attempt was pointed out. They answered that this man had shown the Masonic signal oi distress, and that, as Masons, they felt bound to RELIEVE HIM AT ANY COST. The general commanding General Hoke, of North Carolina could not refuse his consent ; and at nightfall, fhe two went out together upon the field, and though exposed to the great est danger, succeeded in bringing the man safely off. The stranger was be lieved to be mortally wounaea, out ne was so well cared for, in the private house of a Mason, that he recovered eventually and was exchanged as a prisoner of war. That day, where the wounded leu, tney neany an uikuiu sight of the two armies but the Ma- c -Rinrnal. though feebly raised, found a response in hostile breasts, and added one more to the many victo ries of LOVE OVER DEATH; rriTrrri So e best J, and another, the foundathjn-tfa- TfftftSfiBfer.whieh , retaining yet not. responsible for Its practices, would, revive the best days of there- public, and give a . more ! exalted tone to our degenerate ' political life.

I i -traitors "Jrs-v -r, - Politics at the South.; No candid person denies that many. of the States which participated in the rebellion 'have suffered severely from what is termed "carpet-bag rule," that is, by the corruptions and downright peculations of dishonest officials, sus tained in power by the i too-confiding freedmen. Whose fault is this? The old-line Bourbon Democrats charge it With at least entire consistency upon the Republican party of the nation, which emancipated and enfranchised the colored men, and by stringent Con gressional : legislation, adopted under the authority of the new constitutional amendments, has since protected them in the exercise of the electoral right. If any body outside of the States affected is to blame for the temporary evils which are classed under the general name of "carpet-baggery," it is cer tainly the Republican party, whose National resolves have been crystallized in the recent amendments to the Con stitution and the reconstruction meas ures oi congress, f resident urant is no more to be censured for the present status of anairs at the South than is the Sheriff who executes a criminal in obc dience to the mandate of a court. Nor can the Republican party itself be called to account by the friends of Greeley for any results! which may have logically and necessarily grown out of principles and organic changes ratified by the nation, and now ex- Elicitlyand unreservedly accepted by oth the Cincinnati and Baltimore Conventions. Whatever the. seceding Democrats, who are mustering under Colonel JJjanton Duncan, may say in denunciation of negro suffrage and the inconveniences to the white people of the South which have been attendant upon it during what may be called a transition stage of politics in that sec tion, certainly the prograssive Demo crats, supporting the regular nomina tions, and least of all, the old Aboli tionists, now training as Liberal Re publicans, are debarred from making these matters the basis of an attack upon the present Administration. .Let us make these points perfectly explicit. General Grant has done noth ing to sustain , the so-called "carpet baggers," except to eniorce the various reconstruction, civil rights, and Ku Klux laws. These were found abso-1 lutely necessary to prevent the four teenth and fifteenth amendments lrom being dead letters in the South. The Liberal Republicans helped to create those amendments and to make the aws enforcing them, land have no right, therefore, to lay any of their fruits at the doors oi eitner tne White House or Congress.
