As Viewed by the Colored Maru 829 appeared last evening at the meeting of the Democratic Union Club of tho Seventh Assembly Dis trict, at 2*t Greenwich avenue. Col. Fredrick A. Conkllng, the President set up a placard having tho strange device at the edge of the flag draped platform, and there was a burst of applause. Mr. William J. Curtis reviewed the issues of tho campaign and then Col. Conkling introduced Mr. Isaac II. Hunter, colored, former ly of North Carolina. "It might seem strango to some republicans," he said, "to ace a colored man advo cating the election o f a Democratic President. But to understand fully how this can be they have only to transform themselves into negroes for twenty four hours. If they could do this, they would vote to a man against the Republican party as it is now constituted. [Applause,] It would ofoourse, bo of small conse quence to mo whether the Republican bartered his honor for 8329 if he were a private citizen. Rut when he calls upon the American people to go to the polls and approve fraud, ras cality, corruption, hribeiy anil perju ry by voting for him, I assert that be is guilty of one of the greatest, per-; haps the greatest insult that was; ever off jred to the nation. [ Applause j The men who strike the keynote of this canvass tell us that it is unsafe, for a white man to vole the Republi can ticket south of Mason and Dix on's line, and that, when a negro dares to vote it, his cattle, arc driven oil*, his fields laid waste and his cabin i is burned, and he and his frmily are 1 murdered. If tins is so, and I, who come from the land whence these man u facto red stories of outrage arc sent to give a pretext for the waving of the bloody shirt before the eyes of "Northen , voters, challenge*tho-pro duction of nt.y proof that would be accepted in any court of law in this city, if it is not the fault of the Repub lican party? For 10 years they had absolute control of the Government, its purse and its army and navy. They made whatever laws they pleased, and brought force to bear in imposing these laws upon] submissive people. In God's name, then, is not the Republican party to blame lor the existence of this wrong, if there is one? (Applause.) My race remem bers the Freeman's Saving Bank, ami will give evidence of their remem brance in the coming election. Re publican statesmen organized the bank to enable them to lake lasting care of every penny that the poor ucgro might be Stuart enough to earn and save. Charles Summer offered an amendment to the bill organizing tho bank to the effect that its funds should be invested only in Govern-j mcnt bonds. For this noble effort | to put a safeguard around the poor negro's money, he was deposed from his high position in Congress, ami given the* cold shoulder by the* mag nates of the Republican party. ( Ap- j plausc. The bank was robbed, and it was one o( the meanest steals that was ever perpetrated by white men (Applause) Men representing the parly of enlightenment and lofty ideas, gentlemen, stooped beneath the dignity of the common high, waymnn to rob the widow, whose husband or son died on the battlefield of bis country, of her last dollar. (Appluuss. The time has come, gentlemen, when the black men see that all of their friends nre not in the Republican party. They will give voice to their trust in a part}' led by the hero states, man Winfiold Scott Hancock, o:i the j 2nd of Novctuoer, in thunder tones." (Applause.) Three cheers were giv en for Mr. Hunter. Messrs. Moore and William G. Reigen spoke and then Col. Conkling announced that the club will hold a meeting every Friday night until clccton tiny.

The other night, soon after a ward meeting had opeued, one ot the elec tors present began edging for the door asif he meant to leave tho place. He was soon stopped by a friend, who said : "Don't leave us now ; I wantyou to hear what that speaker is saying. Hear that! He says we must triumph or the country is doomed." "Yes, I know, but I've got to edge along toward home," was the reply. "Homo? great heavens, how can you talk of going homo until ho has finished that speech ! Ho p?ks if you ? want to see grase growing in the streets of our cities?-our fertile farms returned to the wilderness?our lain ilies crowding the poorhonscs until there is no longer room to receive another?" "No, I don't know as I would, but I guess I'll sort o' work my way out." "Wait fifteen minutes?ten?five? wait until he finishes. There it isj again! lie asks whether you aic a] freeman or a slave?

"I don't know as I have, but I must go?really 1 must." "Hear that?hear that! He says your country will bless yon." "I can't say as to that." replied the man as he crowded along ; but I am dead sure that the old woman will if I don't get home in lime to put this codfish to soak for breakfast !"

The Democrats have recovered from the temporary repulse in Indi ana, and arc taking a fresh and de termined grip. Just as the loss of Maine stimulated the Republicans in Indiana, so their victory has nerved the Democrats in the East, and both parties are setting in with despera tion. While a few Republicans are hurrahing over the result, the more thoughtful arc counseling their fol lowers not to crow too soon. Secre tary Sherman himself in a speech says: "The Presidential election is transferred from the October Slates to each and every Slate in the Union. The drift and cm rent of public opin ion, though very hopeful for the Re publican party, are not so decisive but that the people must now dili gently and actively take their part in the great canvass this fall, which in my opinion is of greater importance than an}' since the election of Abraham Lincoln in 18G0." The Democrats of New York are registering every voter and arc de tcrmined to bold the fort. New Jer sey has not gone Republican in a Presidential election for a long time. Connecticut swings in the balance. California, Nevada and Maine are all fairly doubtful, and Shermau is right in saying that the contest is not de cided. The Radical National Committee, while claiming decisive results, show by their action that they do not feel 1 confident. They sent speakers and money to Virginia, North Carolina and Florid;]. Why send money down here without need for it! They arc too shrewd to waste a cent. This is a year ot surprises. Ver mont surprised everybody by giving an increased Radical majority. On the heels ol this came Maine's thun derbolt to surprise the Radicals. Then came Indiana's surprise to the Di tno crals, and Ohio's surprise to the Re publicans, who barely held their own in the home of Garileld. Some body is going to be surprised in No vember.

This Republican campaign is being I fought on two issues ; the chief issue j being sectionalism. The other issue I is the tariff question.

New YonK, October 18, 1880.^ General Cook, of cavalry fame in the war, who was at the Democratic headquarters to-day', said the party would surely carry Indiana In the next election. "In the other elec* tioti," he said, "the counsels Of the party were divided, but the frauds perpetrated upon tho Democracy by the use ol money and the importation of negroes has welded them together. English says that the October cam paign was Landers'. This is his tight, and you will see some work done there that will frighten and as tonish the Republicans. There, is no dying or bemoaning in the West. They arc at work heartily and enthu siastically. Ohio has eighteen thous and Republican majority. Now there were 18,000 colored men imported into Ohio for the purpose of affecting the vote. Just before the election they sprung this ridiculous and absurd tariff issue upon the State and the elec tion was half over before the suppor ters of Hancock could show the peo ple it was a false cry and a demagogi cal Republican report. The people of Ohio have awakened to the situa tion, and the tide has turned the other way. They will have to do a great deal of work in Ghio to prevent it from going for Hancock in November Their victory was an astonishing thing to the Republicans. They ex pected defeat and their tariff cry was a desperate forlorn hope. They con not repeat their practices in that State. They cannot repeat to tho same extent. They cannot put 4, 000 more votes into tho Hamilton County- ballot boxes than there are adults over 21 years of age, nor 1, 000 more in Columbus than there are voting citizens.

Do you remember the cruel and unnecessary suspension of the writ of habeas corpus in several of the upper counties of this stale eight years ago by that drunken tyrant, U. S. Grant? The horrible condition of affairs re sulting from that act of oppression ought lo forever damn the dastardly party and policy which represented that infamy. But hard-hearted and brutal as that act was, it stands out sublime and radiant as twilight^splen dor when compared with Garfield's proposition that "It is clearly the right of the victorious government to. indict, try, convict and hang every rebel traitor in the South" for engag ing in the late war.
