' One of the crew of the .schooner tl .in 1866 ran a cargo of one hundred r fifty negroes from Mobile bay to Cu furnishes the reporter of the Mol: Register with a full narration of i trip. "We have only room for the si joined extracts. This man says that and his friend "Tommy." agreed to i ter the service of the Schooner with 1 understanding that they were to go Galveston, whither the negroes w< going to work on a plantation, and tl he did not know that the Yankee Ci tain was a slaver, and had induced t negroes to go aboard under false p: fences, and with the intention of selli the negroes into slavery. Here is t story in part. It will be found interestin At 8 o'clock everything had be made snug, and the watch had start to go below, when the mate came fe ward to the waist and told all hands muster aft. ' The men, Tommy and with the rest, ranged ourselves along i deck in a line. The captain and ti two mates stood on the windward sii of the deck in front of us, looking lil officers overhauling a row of soldiei After looking to see that all hands we there, the Captain said-" Men. I BU pose you know what you were shippt mathis schooner for; the time has con for us to put things in train to carry oi our design. -The- first thing, of COUTS is to gei the irons on the negroes-afb that vre shall have time enough to" here my chum, Tommy, and I both pi our oars in and asked what all th meant j for though we had had our su picions-at least, I had-this "plum] out-with-it"' 'speech had taken us a aback. .. "I'll tell you what it means," sai the captain; "I should have told yo before you came on. board,..hut had n opportunity, and was not going to lot two good men by being afraid to tak them without telling; this means thr if w? land this cargo of one hundrc and fifty negroes on thc Island x>f Cub} we shall make a good thing of ii ; if w are caught at it the speculation wi] probably lose us our necks; you hav no choice ; a couple of men will not b allowed to block a game like tbi with us." And he was right; Tommy and would have been a couple of bloody fools to cry "hands-off" at a time lita this, with the certainty of going ove: the sides with our throats cut. As' soon as the captain was dom speaking thc second mate went dowr into the cabin and handed up a pair o: revolvers-to each man. and then com menced passing up the hand-cuffs, tak ing care not to let the things .jingle ano make a noise. When enough had beer handed-up to "accommodate" onr-con* plement.of passengers, thc- mate sen! four ?f us forward with them, and him self went down into-the hold with; lamp ami turned out five or six "of thr negroes, telling them jhat he wanto 3 tlieir help about something on deck. The darkies came up the hatchway trembling and stumbling about the deckt with the motion of the vessel, feeling their way forward, headed by the matt with the light, until they were at thc gangway abreast the galley, when the revolvers were shoved under their noses, and sudden death promised them if they made the least bit of a row. The irons were shipped on their hands and fast ened, gags placed in their mouths, and then tliey were stowed away in the gangway1 to wi nd'ard. This bringing them up by half-dozens was kept up until all but about twenty five had been secured, but the waidup up of the others had so disturbed these that they couldn't sleep much, and 1 suppose they must have heard some thing or other of what was going on-on deck, for when the mate went down foi another batch, the poor devils lacked upa most infernal, diii, and swore by all that was good and bad, that they wouldn't come up until they knew what it wai all about. The mate tried persuasion at first, but move they wouldn't, and finally the mate got in a passion and grabbed the first one, that came handy and tried to drag him up on deck any how. The negro, of course, resisted, and in the scuffle the light was knocked out, and all the darkies. made a rush tc the hatch. The mate cleared -himsell of the negro and sprang-on deck just in time to save himself. "Galling the second mate, cook, and steward to come quick with capstan bars, the blacks that were below were kept from rushing on deck, The capstan-bars were used pretty freer ly oh the sconces of some that tried to get out anyway, but hone of them were much hurt. Leaving three men to look after the main-hatch the mate went for ward, and with the help of Tommy and I, roused up about sixty fathoms oi chain from the locker and ranged it ulong the deck, and. getting out a ball of marline, he and the captain took the darkies that had been put in irons, and, one at a time, seized them hard and foist to the chain. . This done, the captain Called all hands to conic with him and make a break on the-folJoWs below. 'The steward'got.a bull's-eye lamp, and with the captain, and six of the crew, jumped into the hold among the darkies. .The negroes in the hold Were scared almost to deafy by this time, and there was rot i much of a fight in getting them " to i rights." as the 'mate. called it. When ?the hold had been cleared, and all the ? blacks strung alpng the chain on deck, j the work of tossing overboard the dar I kies" fraps'commenced, anti in a few ! minutes the negroes didn't have as i much clothes aboard* as. would make a ! living jib for a wheelbarrow.-The head ? puinp was now started, the decks washed down, the gear laid up, and the watch ; sent below. In the morning, after the crew had their breakfast, the captain and mate had a talk to the poor darkies, and told them .what they already guessed, that Cuba, and not Texas, was the place where tlie work was to be done. Th? news didn't work the same on all of them ; ri?me howled and yelled, and made all ' sorts of a row, whue more of them took it stubborn and sullen-like, not seemi to care' much whether it was h-1, Texas, or anywhere else. The officers tried to quiet the 01 that were cutting 'up so rowdy, and last coaxed them to hush their clat by telling them that they would be he overboard if it wasn't stopped. T steward and cook hustled around a made a lot of mush for the blades, a the mate and second mate unshackl one hand for each of the darkies, so they could take their breakfast. P< devils; they did not handle their spoc as though their appetite was very stroi 'After they had made.a show of e: ing, the port chain was got "on de from the locker and taken below ; t bight; jbr it was middle on deck, w leu forward and spiked on to some til hers up in th'e eyes pf her, the two en taken aft and made fast in the stern, ai then the darkies were cast off, one 1 one, from the chain on deck, and ma' fast to the chain below.. About one-ln of them had been stowed, when one f< low, a regular bull for strength, mai fight as soon as his hands were cut adr: from the chain. The mates grabbed him, but the darbies were still hung his right wrist, and he made full ph with them, like a slung-shot, right in their faces, .and, for a second or tw made the blood fly like water. Tl captain and steward jumped in, too, bi I believe on my soul the blaok w.ou? have brained them all, only the coe ran up and cracked his skull-with a axe that was used to cut meat. Tl poor fellow fell like a bullock when 1 was struck, and before you could sa Jack Robinson with your mouth opei overboard he went, and 'in five minuti the sharks had the body torn iniominci meat. Time dragged heavily ' with us c board the schooner after the cloven-foe was shown. The moans, groans, an curses, of the poor negroes in the hoi would have driven sleep from a brute eyes-, let alone a human's. I don't bc lieve that ih the three clays that elapse before we got ashore, that a so?l intha vessel slept a- wink, and all hands looke like men three days dead when w separated. The morning of. the third day, afte putting the darkies below, the look-ou sung out "land ho!" from the foreman head.. The captain went aloft and too] a look, and made it out to be a poin about twenty miles to the east'ard c Cape San Antonio, and when he cam on deck put the vessel about and stoo< on and oif all day, until, when the stu was nearly down, he hauled up for th< laud and-fetched a little bay, thejiami of which I never heard, about 8 o^.^c Of course, all hands were on feel now, each man keeping a weather-eyi open for himself, for there was no telling what trick might be played by the oh man and the mates;- As tin. sohoonei neared the mouth of the b.iv, she Wai hove to, the small boat lowered, and tl? mate and steward jumped into her nn< nulled in shore. The boat came bael in a short time, bringing on hoard twe men. one of whom took the wheel, thc other going "into the cabin "with tra captain. Th? mate, took the orders-from oui ?ilot and squared away for the beach was ordered in the forechains with ti? read and remained there until I heard the mate sing out " let the mainsail ant jib run down"-andjthen, a few minute! lister, " let go the anchor !" when I step ped over the rail on deck. A ledge oj rock lay on our port quarter, and in ? few minutes the stern of the vessel Wai warped alongside -and the work of get ting the darkies ashore was begun ark! put through in a hurry. The poor fel lows cried and sobbed as though theil hearts would break as they Were brough! up, and one of them that I was leadme ashore prayed and begged that I woulcl write to his mother, somewhere in Mis: sissippi, I forget now where, about him andi promised I would, only- I can't write no more than a monkey ; -but it seemed to do him good, and I'couldn't refuse the promise. One by one, in tow of one of the officers or crew, came the darkies, like a funeral procession, Only a good deal quicker, and as they went Out on the rock, they . were taken in charge by men and led 3 back into thc bush. When the vessel Was clear; oi them, the man who had come on board with }hc pilot came ashore arm-in-arm with-our captain, and walked tip into the bush where the negroes had been assembled. The mate told the cook and second mate to stay on board'and " keep ship," and all the rest followed the cap tain and the stranger up thc lefeh. When the. open space had been reached where the negroes Were assembled, the captain and tho stranger commenced counting the darkies, and haggling in Spanish about the price. They settled atlast upon so much for each, .but not speaking nor understanding their lingo. I didn't know how much it was. In a lbw minutes the amount was paid down in gold, and the mate'and steward took up the canvas bags that the money had been put^n and we are started back to the vessel., As we faced the beach, the darkies_wefe trotted off the other-way by their purchasers. and assistants. I sometimes think I can -hear the wailing of them poor devils iii my ears yet ; you see it wasn't like 'catching a lot of Gui nea niggers,--that were just so many monkeys,-?nd selling them, but those fel lows looked human-like, and what little conscience I had wasup,in arms against the business. But wha.t?o?ld I do ; one man,- or at most, counting Toinmy, two men, against eleven : just what was done -nothing. When we all got on board again, the warp was cast off and the stern swung round seaward.'. -The cap tain called us aft and -says,' '[ Well,- my lads, we've landed the cargo, got' the price of it in our fists-a - pretty good price, too-fifty-five ounces a head. But the danger is not over yet ; this vessel must be burned somewhere off the Flo j rida:coast, and we have got to cross ?he j Gulf, without getting nabbed, to "do it; i Those of you who aro afraid to trust : yourselves any further in her can leave [ her here, but your chances of getting : caught on the Island are ten to one'of j that of getting caught in the vessel. If I yon leave here you will get $400 in gold j for your work ; if yon stick "by the,\ sol you shall have $1000, so you see.i vour interest to stick by her-to the il Make up your minds, for we must.; out of this m a jiffy." Tommy beck ed me to one side, and as we were of same way o?' thinking that the sop: we were out of the schooner tha.bet for us, we spoke np" and said that ' thought we would leave then, if th whs no objection, so the captain w< below and got some money and hanc us twenty-three ounce-pieces each, the same time asking if any one e wanted to throw away'six hundred d lars by leaving tne vessel ; but no c did not speak, and Tommy and "I wt into the forecastle and' got a shift. clothes, and shook hands with one twp of our shipmates, and stepped ir the boat,-and were pulled ashore, by p of the men. We stopped on the rock fora wh after the boat landed us, and seen t schooner weigh her anchor, and.get u der sail, and stand out to sea. We scan ly spoke to one another,- for we' felt, least, I did, as thongh we had been ci ting some juan's throat for the few d( lars that Were tied up in an old shirt our feet. The schooner was fast-crawling out sea, Tommy and I turned to .climb ti .hill-behind us, thinking a good de about whether we were thieves only, thieves aud murderers-too. We la down under a tree at the top of the hi and at daybreak started on foot for M tar?zas, a good long walk, if you:ll loc at the map of the Island. But at last we got there, and "what jnore, got a, berth in a sugar-dugh< bound to Bristol. What became of the schooner I don know, but I reckon if she'd a been los or captured, you folks here would Lu heard moro of it, for she was ownc here, so^ I.heard ; I guess the school er that'was burned off the Double-Heat ed Shat* Keys about that time, inn have been her. The crew, I was tol< was picked up bv a brig and takent New York, all except two, and them tl mate report to have been lost oyerboari Them two was Tommy and. I. -;-? * ? ? " Dixie." . From {tie N. Y.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Pomero left thc city to fill engagements on th stump in the interior, and has playe us a nice trice Finding a returned sol xlier on thc street with an old hand-oi gan on which he pays ten dollars a yea ucfense, which goes to the'support of* th bondholders, he hired him to come t .the ofh?e of the-I)e>i?ocrat, andjrom-on fift -fijttf-?^s&r nitVr??ooiV play'- - M'.Bft?3?

One man, from Go shen, Orange county, stood there at houv to-day, waiting to hear the nex tune.' -BUT no orher one comes otrt P the horrid instrument. And there h< site, grinding. .' Way down South in'Dixio ; Oh ! I wi.-h I was in Dixie." Yesterday Pomeroy had a row about tho matter. A radical,-whose office if close by, came down and ordered the soldier to move on.' " Can't do it,"Teplied the cripple. < "Why?" sw?; " -'Cause I'm hired to stay here or these steps, under this window, and plaj this 'ere tune !" . '." Well,- I'll see," and up stairs came thc excited radical. He raved and swore, threatened arrest, and all sorti ol' trouble. " Caht't'help it," said Pome roy ; "that man- was a soldier; he fought; he pays ten dollars a year ic grind his machine ; I have hired him for tho season, and I shall have him play that same tune day after day, tc remind the workingmen that, " Way down 3.outh in Dixie," are a lot of niggers, scalawags, and car pet-baggers they must support. And,' said he, "if y ou'touch that soldier I'll mash ypur loyal'head! ' I, rent these premises-that soldier has paid hi's li cense-I pay for the music, and I'll have it just asl.want it!" And the man is ?t?l grinding away - ?"Wny down South in Dixio !" How long-he is tojgrind at that- mill, God and Pomeroy only know. But it's a funuy idea, compelling us to sit here hour after hour to listen to that soldier grinding out of his ten-dbllar-license or gan,: " 'Way down Sonth in Dixie !" We tried to coax him to change his tune, but he won't. He says Pomeroy hired him to grind it till his return. If he will hasten back, we'll pay the. .bill and call it quits. , j ,_ . " AN ACT WITHOUT A PRECEDENT." -Under this heading, the Augusta Re jmhlican, a bitter Piadical paper, edi itorally raps our model Legislature in this wise : . We are ashamed of the South.Carpli na 'Legislature. Its recont suspension of a State senator for a period of six months, for some alleged misconduct is, we believe, without precedent in parlia mentary law. Wejmagine a temporary denial to Mr. Leslie of the privileges of-membership is a matter of small con sequence to him. But it is not the sena tor who. has a right to complain. The people have done nothing to merit pun ; ishment. His suspension leaves his con stituency in an anomalous condition. : They-have-not a senator. There is no ! vacancy and there is-no senator. Thjfl ; is absurdly unjust. The Legislature of ?j South Carolina will find.it best, in tlio end, to regulate their actions by old , rules and pr?c?dents. '*"rhey are loyal men, and Aviso., no doubt, but we doubt their ability to improve on tho wisdom of ages. They simply make themselves ridiculous in making the attempt. ' Campaign Song. {k\Ti-".

He got up and made a speech. Said he abhorred radi calism and waa opposed to its tenets, but he meant to vote for Grant and Colfax. He was one of your radical Democrats -a heavenly hell of a fellow, who was entirely opposed to all .tho doings of hell, but mightily in favor of thu devil himself. He didn't, think the acts of Congress were exactly constitutional, but they were as near thu Constitution as any acts could be in suck? case ; that the Southern States- were out of the Union,' and these . measures had to be adopted in order to put them back. Right here I shut my. fly-trap down on him. How did these States.get out?. I. asked. . Why, they, got out by war,-he replied. How in the- devil is that, because they got whipped ? Well, said he, their -relations got changed. Like the -fellow's pig-didn't exactly die, it gin out. . OUR STATUS IN THE UNION.

Just go for Grant and-lo ! !-you are loyal. I could make a loyal man out of myself in a few seconds by simply tele graphing that I Would support the Grant and Colfax ticket. My sins would be forgiven and they would tell me to "de part in peace"-like a buncombe magis trate of iny town, the other day. A couple presented themselves before him to be married. He was a pompous sort of ignoramus and was smartly oothered " how to do it," as a crowd of town boys had collected to see the fun. After he had battle-whanged them through ahd tied them as man and wife, there was a kind pf pause. Thc couple didn't know '.' it was all. over." So, straightening himself up, one arm a-kimbo, "my friends," said he, "dej>art in peace and sin no more." ? TAXES. Did you ever hear, of such a thing as taxe?? You haye had a dose in- your neighborhood, hav'nt you ? . The -great mass of the radical ? party pay no taxes and thcy;can'lunderstAnd..\v?iy we should object paying them for ..-them. Tlus car pet-bagger Laflin, from Pitt county-he ? proclaimed iii the L?gislature---" I'clon't j qare a damn how much taxes "are laid on ' the people of North Carolina, my con stituents don't have thom -to'pay." I want to put yon in tho humor to' spend the last cent of your property hefore you will have it stolen from you. I am yery heavy on figures-like the little quack doctor who was called in to see a "sick child. He looked at the child;-felt its pulse-and shook his head. " ? don't exactly understand this child's case," said he, " but I tell you what I can do ; T oan give it some medicine that will throw it into fits and I am hell on fits !" Now I am good on figures, and I ha ve figured this thing up. Your State debt is twenty-eight millions, and the interest is a million and a half. How much will it. take to carry on the State government? In my time it took three hundred thou sand dollars, and now the salaries of all the officers are doubled. What else?' Publie schools. In 1860 when only the" white children attended school, and a large number of them not sent to free schools, but educated at the expense nf their parents, it took two hundred and forty thousand dollars pcrannmh; now,, the negroes have to be educated, ami none of them are able to send tu other Schools-it will, take- four hundred and eighty thousand, and twenty thousand of this goes io that man from Cape Fear who sings Ohl Hundred through his nose. ? NEGRO SUFFRAGE. I have never had thc chance to say whether I was in favor of it or not. I am in favor pf diving the negro limited suffrage, and I'believe it will not be,de-_ nied hinr.by any present lyly grand father was at King's Mountain, and his old mnekct its now at home; I can just reach up and lay my hand on the muz* zlc. ? I am lineally descended-from him;, have been your "Governor and worn the first honors, yet I can't vote! But if I murmur a single word against the boy who blacked my boots fast night, and who is running for Governor of your' State, as he has a right to do. " HELL! .BLOOD! FURY ! THUNDER!" cry these radicals; you are disloyal;" "you mean WAR!" vNow, fel'ow-citizens, I, ZEBULON VANCE,tcllyou this.truth : I don't intend to live'in'a land where I am disfranchised, and I oeri't intend to leave it. The negro is na rurally an aris.-' tocrat. He hates a scalawag ae badly as we do. 'Did you ever burn' V dog's nose with a cigar? ' Everv time lie sees you with, a cigar 'he'll tuck his tail and travel. They nave fooled the negro once. Promised him forty acres of land and a mule! -He hasn't.got'the mule or the land- though he Ls overstocked' with ja??a*?e?~^rid the. next"time one of these feH?w?Ttpproaches him, he'll rea son this way : " Dat white man done told me a Lie once, .1 ain't got no more to do wid him." - - WAR. ' Holden is mighty afraid of war. He is stooping and filling his pockets and bawling out-"WAR! TEACE! PEACE !_ WARI" and a f?rfraek black negro, with his mouth full of govcrn -ment rations, sits in the " amen corner" and responds-" dat's so, Mars William, bress de Lurd, we don't want no inore war." Suppose they'd sent] an army down lice to disperse Holden ar.d his ignorant crew; do you suppose there'd! beany fight? No! God bless your souls,, he would hunt"my bcd!" If "rebels" (jidn't fight for Gov. Worth wjieu he was removed, they will hardly fight for. Billie Holden. The-trulh is these fellows-want us to make war. They are like the gal who had a bashful sweetheart to conie tosee her. - -Ehe " old folks'^ Went out of the room and left them sitting around the light of a pine knot; the gal, knitting in one corner-and the bashful chap tweed'^ng his thumbs, in the other, and swallowing his spittle'like a tired dog. Tliey sat this way for half an hour with- . out a word beiug.said, when all at once the gal j nmped on her feet, and sorea-med, " Let me alone !" " Great God Almighty, S.tl," bawled fhe fel'iow, " I ain't.a tech in of you." "But ain't yergwine tew!" answered Sal. THE OLD WHIG PARTY. My friends, old-line Whigs, I like you. I used to believe the old Whigs were the salt of the earth, and I'm sorter of that opinion yet. But the party is dead and buried, and the tombstone placed over it, and I don't care about spending the balance of my days mourning at its grave. A sincere old Whig, when his party-died-if he was 4rue to his princi ples or his prcjudices-~would inquire for a party nearest like it. ' Which is that party ? Is it Bill Holden at the head of 75,000 negroes? A negro boy. once..caught a large-isizecl catfish, and, sticking it in the Bank, passed up . the creek. Another negro coming along' that wav, and, having a smaller sized fish on his string, swapped cats. After a bit Jake returned for his fish, and, pulling .it out, exclaimed: "De great Lord, is dis my cat ? Yes, here's whar I stuck him; but arni he siouwkf" If Henry Clay could rise from the dead and sound the bugle to summon up his par ty, and then look at Holden' and a fewl half "whipped, mangy-looking fellows at the head of 75,000 negroes as they cry o?t, "Here's your Whig pai-tv. Henry Clay!" "Great God!" would,exclaim that,statesman, "how the* Whig party has shrunk!" ? ' JB?S^ Governor Fletcher, of Missouri, is "having peace" by .distributing thirty thousand-stands of arra Ssn'in orig the Rad cal plug-uglies of that State. ^ These thirty thousand muskets :irc. to control the Missouri election in favor of Grant, or at-least that is the intention, but there is " many ? slip,".&c. fiST The Radical papers asser-t that a son of Hon.

Governor OIT, oY-South Carolina,'who is now in this city, has been giving some of the leading Democrats here a. piece. of his mind on ) the bungling-' way the Democracy have been managing matters of late. . To one of them, wno was a delegate to the- Tammany Convention, he said that the nominations of Sey-1 mom- and Blair were both great mis- [ takes. Seymour, because he represented impracticable and obsolete ideas, and Elair on account of his revolutionary letter. Besides, Blair was a military man, and the Democracy set ont with ? the idea of having a great civilian states-1 man, and they should have been consis- j tent in that idea. Pendleton was equal ly. objectionable on account of his iden- ! ti ty with old worn-out policies. If the ; Democracy had nominated Chase, the ; Governor said his name, so long identi fied with the abolition of slavery, would have enabled the Dem?'?-racy to carry every Southern State. Mow, they might possibly carry Georgia and Alabaina:- I the Test would all go for. Grant. He' further said that it was a great mistake i for the Southern Democracy tb insist ou j being represented in the Convention ; j that,the crowd of Confederate Generals there had ? bad effect on the public opinion of the North, and a bad influ ence on the Convention. Wade Hamp ton, for instance, whom he spoke of in high terras, had come home, and public ly (?tated that he had procured the in sertion in the platform of the declara tion that " the Reconstruction. Acts were usurpations, . unconstitutional, revolu tionary, and void,"-and so the Confeder ate element in the Convention openly arrayed itself against Northern senti ment and re-opened all the old issues. -Muc h sensible talk of thc same kind the wise and .patriotic old Governor ad dressed to his hard-headed friend, but' .with as little practical effect, we fear, as his sagacious counsels to his head strong brethren in South Carolina. Wo learn that Governor On* has' just been, appointed a Circuit Jud^e in South' Caro-, lina, but that he has.determined to take up his residence in St. Joseph, Mo., in order to resume the practice of his.pro fes-ion under more favorable auspices than the disturbed condition of affairs in South Carolina admits of.-St Paul (Minn.) Pres*,,19th instant . The Retort of a Fallen Despot. One of the sublimest of satirps'.was uttered with the dying breath of one of the meanest of the Roman emperors. Tacitus relates that when Vi toll ilia, af ter this fall, was staggering under the Wows and-.imprecations of the mob, be replied to a tribune who taunted, him with his misery, " Nevertheless I have been your emperor." If he was so vile and detestable a wretch, what* was to be thought of tte people who had ac cepted him as their ruler, who had paid, .him honors only ? little lower than those accorded to the gods, and with - whom his edicts had been as unquestioned and potent as the nod -of Jove him self ? There is som?thing in this historical example that comes home wi th terrible significance to the case of the American people in relation to the rule which-has been over them for the past "several years. However indignantly they may repudiate this rule hereafter, history' will adjudge them to have been part ners in its shame. The whole combi nation of knaves and fanatics- who hare been harrying, plundering aird ruining the country, are destined' doubtless "to fall from their opprobrious, eminence and sound tho lowest depths of popular, execration and contempt But in, that event may they not all retort upon the people, as ViteHius retorted upon the. . insulting tribune':' " Nevertheless, we have been y?lir rulers. We have had' despotic sway in your land. We have done our will with your Hws, with your government, with your money, with" your very bodies in war or peace, and for years you were zealous and proud to do our bidding. You bowed down to lift us to supreme authority, Ss an elephant kneels io let his puny rider mount. Had you not boon self-abased, we had not been' exalted. If we have been architects of the country's ruin, yon have furnished us with the implements and the materials for the work.' Fool ish'. blind, impious, mad, profligate, and reckless as. oui1 rule may ' have been, what is in all these aspects but*arefiec tion of your image ? . ?[ The Roman tribune had no answer for tho overwhalmingretort of Vitellius. Are the American "people anv better prepared to meeta like retort from their fallen despots ? The sequel showed that the Roman mob, willing to change ty rants, was incapable of destroying tyran ny. What will the sequel, show in-the case of . the American people ? They have it in their power not only to hurl from power their detestable rulers, but to drive despotism to its last covert and extirpate it from the land.

More than this, even in the Times and Tribune, cr ntiou as they are from the exigencies of the .canvass, there peeps out this punwe to enfranchise the Afnoan in all thV States. Muttering about'the ejection' of negroes frpm the pret?hded Legislature of Georgia, they jbirjt that the XlVth' ?Mnendment gives that race a right to hold office. If- so,, then, as that amendment, so far as it. is . an amendment, is equally applicable to ' all the States, it follows'that by it the negro has as good a right to office in -j^ew-York as in Georgia, in Ohio as in Louisiana. Of course this will be de nied. The saints are forever denying something that they afterwards do.
