It seems to be contrary to human nature to throw off its narrow bigotry, and array itself in the heav enly robes of liberality. Eighteen hundred years ago, from the Cross on Calvary, Christ forgave his crucifiers. Heaven forgave, but man did not i and Christians, for eighteen hundred 15 m ! years, have been violating the com 85.00 'nand of their Master by persecuting iimm i ,ne Jewish people. "Vengeance is G0."O ,, " :,K T ,! TL, 1,1 . do for men, and they, too, must have vengeance. This is but one of the many cases where humanity has per sisted in having its victims. It seems to be as requisite for men to drive their chariots over the crushed hearts of their unfortunate feilow-men as to in hale vital air. The freest ppop'e on earth have their prejudices and liber ! alisms, and always find it impossible 'o 1 see the motes in their own eyes. It is. therefore, hard to find even an in dividual who his not some of the dregs of bigo;ry in his nature, ns part of the "sina of the fathers visiting the chil dren." Tha woild is moving, however. rhere has been a general smashing up en years. 1 revious to that time, four millions of men, here in free Ameri ca, were legalized chattels. Slavery was an institution over whose sacred ness the tegis of the Constitution was thrown, and to enter its forbidden ground, unless with shoes off" the feet and with bated breoth aj-d reverential awe, was death. When John Brown marched to the i scafTolil, tiftween ecowlinp; rows of the "chivalry of erfdom," and when Gov. Wise saw the lav" vindica'ed, and pro nonnced the "old traitor" dead, who thought that there would be such a general delivery, and that the arrogant turn of the South, whose pride and strength and gluiy were r.rawn from tbe lives of their human chattels, in defending their accursed institution, I would be trampled iiito the dust beneath the icct of freemen chanting "J'l" nr.u'j boor liesamouiaerinilnti.cfraTe, Hut in ' ii tonl marching out'' Whj that has witneseJ tLe eman- cipationof -1.000,000 of men will des pair of the ultimate triumph of freedom over despotism the world over i It re mains for the country that smashed their letters to complete the work, and make the slave of yesterday a free man indeed. It is useless for men to evade the subject of impartial suffrage by sophistry unless to bring up that tyrants' plea against giving men their freedom, "that they are not capable of u?ing tL eir freedom judiciously," The men who have the souls of fighting and dying for freedom cau be surely trusted with the simple privilege cf the ballot. The party who would deprive the black man of his full rights to 'equality before the law," would also deprive white men of those same rignts, did the opportunity offer.or their selfish ness require them to do to. We appeal to our countrymen who, having escaped from a system of slavery fully as bad as that which was washed out in the blood of its supporters in America, to rise above all petty prejudices, and give their voices and votea to seeure the rights of the persecuted. Shall we, countrymen, like the shipwrecked mar iners who, having been flung upon the rocks beyond the reach of an angry seaff fling back ail others who seek to escape from death? or shall we, being safe ourselves, extend a charitable hand to all sufferers, and welcome them to that rtfuge to which we were wel comed ourselves by others? The eyes of the nation are on us. Our duty to America demands, that having received all th grand privileges to which citi zens are entitled, we should not b the selfish ingrates that would deny to oth ers what we demand for ourselves. Give the black man liberty without the ballot he is till a slave and lib erty will not suffer thereby. Having escaped from slavery, he will know how to sympathize with struggling nations ; and when the time comes that Ireland fppl. ablft tn lrik( fnr Kr in-lononH. leels ac"e 10 s,Ke I0r ner lOjepena- ence. everv black voter in America will cast his ballot for freedom agaiost tyranny. The only objection offered by the enemies of universal liberty against the black man's right to the ballot, is his ignorance. That, having escaped from a slavery where a'l ih nues of intelligence were relL My shut out from his darkened soul, he is not fit to use the ballot. The great trouble is, that were he admitted to f u) citizenship he would use the ballot against his enemies and the enemies of liberty. The English Government so high in their regard for conserva tive civilization prohibit the ballot and the use of arms by the Irish peo pie. They say give those ignorant Irish arms, and they will kill each oth er. Give them the ballot, and they will not use it judiciously! The Irish people would use that ballot and bullet against the tyrants who have rebbed and murdered them, and this the tyrants know. While petitions mile-long, and monster talk-meetings, are legal and fostered by this same Government in Ireland, men are incarcerated in Brit ish dungeons for harboring gun caps in their vest pockets." As for the ballot; the Irish cannot be trusted wi'h it, they are too ignorant Oh, coun trymen, how blindly and criminally have we not applied the English argu ment against the black man ! Why should we be afraid to give this injured and persecuted race the right to pro tect themselves the ballot when the great intelligence of America is n -t afraid? Away with those narrow ex cuses. They are too flimsy to hide the reiil motive, which is a damnable and unaccountable prejuJice. One of the bitterest enemies ot the Irish race in America, the Cleveland Ilera'J, in try ing to prejudice the American mind against us, as a people, fltigs our iucon sistencies in our face, and asks us how we can ask for liberty when we deny liberty to others ? It says: "In conclusion, Mr. Lavan claims that the Fenian Brotherhood have pro claimed their determination to uphold civil and religious liberty everywhere. To be consistent, therefore, every Fe nian in Ohio will vote on the second Tuesday of October for the constitu tional amendment, which perfects civil liberty to the negro in this Stale. Will they do it? If they do not and no per son has the slightest idea that it will be done their professions in behalf of civil and religijus liberty are mere fudge." Let us meet this like men- It tan not be avoided. We must vote for im partial suffrage or stultify ourselves. In the name of Ireland, which has never been false to liberty, we appeal to the Irish voters of America to ac as becomes men who are seeking to restore their country's lost liberty. Tne Irish race in Ireland have been always true to principle, and one of the grandest acts in the life of O'Con nell was bis refusal to touch the mo ney caused from the tears of the slave. If we desire the sympathy of Amer ica for the cause of Ireland, we must not be niggardly in measuring out to others what we want ourselves. While thus appealing in a selfish and interested point of view, to cur people, we would have them take their stand for liberty on higher grounds than self, and that is, immortal princi pie. Let our people fling ofFihe rcales of bigotry, and declare that all men are entitled to "life, liberty and happi ness-" Let them go to ihe polta, not only in Ohio, but in every State in th Union, and vole for Impartial Suffrage Yes ! EsF" There is a curious tory in Houston, Texas, of an indignant indi vidual who kicked the cover off the coffin the other day, as ihey were on their way to the '-dismal grave." It seems that he was foolisri enough to suppose he wasn't quite dead, nn 1 heuce the catastrophe. Afier some dispute with the pall bearers, whether he was in his "right sense or mind,'' he was brought back and put to bed, with a fair chance of recovery. gST" A Boston boy, five years of age, having stolen a can of milk, his mother took him to task by moral sua sion, and wound up her discourse by sayiig: "What in the world were you going, to do with the miik, any how?' "I was going to steal a little dog to drink it!'' was the crushing re- ply- From the St. Loaia Democrat. Is it Peace ? Senator Thayer discovered and an nounces that the President means mis. thief. The worthy Senator can hard ly claim a patent on his discovery. Through the darkness and fog of the past two year?, voices of warning have been constantly heard. But Congress, anxious about offices and especially about the next Presidential election. has laughed at the warning as the ra ving of fanatics, and Las gone on, month after mornh, trusting and hoping and trying new experiments, until for bearance has ceased to be a virtue and confidence has become a crime. Ii is well that there are signs that members begin to discover what others have been shouting to them so long that a traitor in the White House means mis chief to the country; that he cannot be tied up by cob-web laws, and will be a constant source of peril until he is impeached and removed. Yor. go to Washington on business. It is the season of profound peace. Peace at Washington, where the strug gle between C-ngress and President melted away under the summer heats. Peace in the Cabinet, where the treacherous yes" of the President's ols i-? nj longer answered by the in ignant "no" of Stanton. Peace to the country, where the luxurient har vest taxes the energies and bursts the barns of the f.irm?r, and rolls in a golden flood of prosperity across the hopeful land. From a people all en grossed in the revival of industry and the recuperation of prostrated business. you go through Baltimore. You hear the beat of drums. The tramp of armed men startli's you. And the armed men wear pray uniform-, and march with ths cadenced st-p of vet erans. Jiatter.i cannon whicli Mr. Stanton refuse! to surply roll through the slree;s, under the orders of men whose voices were heard in the rebel charge at Gettysburg. You asked what this means. Is there not peace ? Oh, jes! this is our Na'ional guard. organized by authority of our Legisla ture." Militia, vou see : nothincr more. Thirty thousand under arms. Enlistments steady; drill incessant. The uniform is crav, and none who have not practiced in wearing it are admitted. Merely militia, however ! But why must they meet for drill by battalions on Sunday ? Ynu pa) to Washington pi?s the bridges which afford the only route to the capito! bridges which a shingle battery could hold. At Washington you find in command General Emory, a native of Maryland. A man whose friends say that his abilities were not recognized by government because of unjust suspicious. Had he relatives in thfl Southern army ? Do you go to the White House ? You will see, passing to and fro, with the step of men who are at home, Coyle, Wood. Florence, Blair, and Swann, of Baltimore, and a crowd of men whose faces have not been familiar at the North for several -ST T Ml 1 I years. 1 ou win near men wnisper ot indictments to be brought by Maryland juries against nrty congressmen; ot forces to be used for their arrest -, of a Congress left without a quorum ; of a residential proclamation declaring that Congress has ceased to exist and calling for a new election. Merely the talk of restless political outcasts, of course. But the outcasts are at home in the White House. Finish your crop?, men of the North! fasten your bun. jess, for gold is go ing up, every cay. me barometer predicts foul weather. Take care how you vote in October. JLvery Demo cratic ballot puts life into a conspiracy. t is a vote for bloodshed in Novem ber. Vote as you did when Northern cheers echoed Sheridan's victories in the valley. Or else look to your ri fles, for they may be needed before the snow falls. In a Western Sabbath School, a boy was aked to give an account of Moses. "Moses," said the boy, "was born on the banks of the Nile, in a basket. As the infant lay in the bas ket, concealed in the bushes, a huge crocodile came swimming along, and approaching him, said ; "Moses, thou lmost persuadest me to be a Christian.' Whereupon the infant stretched out his ittle arm toward the crocodile, and aaid: 'Verily, thou art the man! " Schuyler Colfax's Views ou Im peaclimcux and the Duties of Congress. Soctu Bend, Ind., Sapt. 27 To the Editor of the Chicago Tri bum : Your telegraphic enrrespondent at Wooster, Ohio, condenses my long speech there last Tuesday in the fol lowing half-dozen lines: " In regard to impeacament, Mr. C said he longingly counted the days til Congress would again meet, when An drew Johnson would be brought before the Senate for impeachment; and in regard to the threat attributed to the President that he would prorogue Con gress, he said that Mr. Johnson dare not attempt it, for well he knew the end would be that his feet would dance upon the air; while the law-rnakinr power would con inue to perform Us functions. These sentiments were re ceived with great applause." That was pretty near what I sa'd; but as, at a time like this, men who are in public life desire to be judged on their exact positions, may I ask brief pace in your columns to say thnt I counted the days till Congress would again meet, because in twenty days after that time. Edwin M. Sttn'on ould again go back to the War D-. partment, iu spue of the malignant President who thought to expel hirn from the position in wh ch he had served the country so faithfully; but when Congress resumed its legislative au thontv, the House, in accordance with me uemanas or tne loyal mosses throughout the land, would be required to plar e the President before the trib unal provided by the constitution, to defend himself from th? chamres of persistent usurpations, and pr.-istent violations of the oath wh'ch requires him 10 take care that the laws shall be ithfully executed ; and that, while I uiu not believe Air. Jolin-..n dared to fulfill the threats against Congress now being made by his Washington organs, apparently in his name, ye', whoever did dare to destroy the Legislative De partment of the Government by revc luiionary force, whether President, Cabinet, Minister, or citizen, would be tried for his treasrn, and punished as a traitor, with hi feet, not like the traitors of the recent rebellion, on the earth, but in the air. Schuyler Colfax. Even the New York Herald is indignant at the conduct of Johnson at Antietam. It accuses him of di courtesey to the Northern Governors who were present, says that he "did not fail to mention his determination to sustain his policy and the Constitu tion," and that he talked as a "parti san" and a "demagogue." It concludes a long article on the subject, which, coming from a supporter of "My Pol icy," may be considered pointed, as follows : " The Executive being a single per son, and that, too, at the head of the nation, he is looked to by all eyes as an exponent of what should be manly. gentlemanly and courteous. Instead of even approaching the ideal, he al lows the petty feelings of political pas sion to enter in'o all his dealings with those who may oppose his career as a statesman, and on every occasion dis plays the little mind that disgraces us as a people. Even Antietam, more than sacred to us, was not sacred to the man whom we call President. How long are these things to be endured ? How long are we to bow our heads in shame whenever a national event like Antietam calls for the broad minds of real statesmen to give it a tone of which we may be proud ? How long are we 10 entertain the representatives of fereign powers with sights like that which have made Antietam a disgrace, and which have reflected that disgrace throughout the world as a reproach against the Republicanism of which we boast ?" JgiSI? Aaron Jones, the defeated pu gilist, is a lost and ruined man. He staked every dollar he possessed upon the result of the right, and lost it, and, in addition, has forfeiu d his political standing in the Democratic party of New York. He expected to vanquish McCool, and then, a la Morrissey, ac cept from an admiring constituency, a seat in Congress, as he is a better Copperhead than Morrissey, having served in the rebel army. Poor Jones ! , Stbike the Knot. "Sirike the knot!" said a gentleman one day to nis son, who, tired and weary, was leaning on his ax over a log which he had in vain been trying to cleave Then, looking at the log, the gentleman saw how the boy had hacked and ch-pped all around the knot without hitting it. Taking the ax he struck a few sharp blows on the knot, and split the log without difficult. Smiling, he returned the ax to his son, sayincr: "Always strike the knot!" That was good advice. It is a cap ital maxim to follow when you are in trouble. Have you a hard sum to do at school ? Are you leaving home for the first time to live among strangers ? Strike the knot ! Look your trouble in lb eye, as the bold lion hunter look s in the face of the lion. Never shrink from a painful duty, but step right up and do it. Yes, strike the knot, boys and girls, and 3rou will always conquer your difficulties. Strike the knot, and crack it goes ! The Montana rost thus pic tures a Sabbath in ihe mines : Sunday was beautiful. The Catho- olic. Episcopal and Methodist churche wre largely attended, and the songs of praise were mingled with the voice of the horse-auctioneer, as he dashed up and down the crowded street on the best bargain ever offered on the gulch." It made rather an amuinf dialogue at times to listen to the min ister and the auctioneer. Perhaps they did not notice, but others did; for in stance, imagine the following: "What shall I do to be saved ?" "Buy a first rate saddle-horse." "What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" Only S37;" or reversing the order, How much do I hoar for this horse ?" "Seven baskets of fragments;" "Who wants to buy him at S40 ?'' Dives in the torments of hell." The situation of affairs in Mexico is assuming a more favorable aspect. .Late accounts represent that preparations were being made for the Presidential election, and that both Government and people were beginning to evince a desire for a sea son of peace and tranquility. On the 23d ult. President Juarez issued an ad dress to the people, which, although probably designed for an electioneer ing document, contained some good sentiments. He expresses a desire to have the people decide freely on the reforms which he has proposed, and to elect public officers who are most com petent to take care of the country's in terest. Meusures have been taken to break up the gangs of robbers and outlaws who infest the Mexican roads, and many reformatory 6teps have been ta ken. The Mexicans have an innate love for revolutions, but as they have lately had enough bloodshed to satisfy any reasonable ambition, there is ground for hope that they will become peaceable by way of change. ESS"' The Secretary of the Treas ury is reported to be maturing a plan which, it is claimed, will bring about specie payments in five years. It is said to contemplate the retirement of all the national bank notes with the substitution of greenbacks as the sole currency of the country, and, it is al- eged, meets the approval of the bank ers and financial men to whom it has been submitted. A man of property, whose health happened to give way under oiif continued intemperance, consulted Dr. S., who said : "I can cure you if you do as I Did you. His patient promised obedience. "Now,'' said the doctor, "you must steal a horse. Yes you must steal a horse. You wiU be arrested, convicted, and placed in a situation where your diet and regimen will be such that in a short time your lealth will be perfectly restored." f:5r The recent opening of Morse's new telegraph line between Chicago and Milwaukee has created a brisk competition in tbe telegraph business between the two cities. The old line 1 a . . ."e nas reduced its tar in or rates Irom sixty cents for a message of ten words and four cents for each additional word, to twenty cents for a message of ten words and two cents for each additional word. Quite a ' corns down. Jgiw Henry Ward Beecher speaks thus of the newspaper: " The newspaper it never griws tired. It never wears spectacles. It never grows old. It is renewed every morning and is fresh every evening. It goes everywhere. It penetrates the forest, the mine, the shanty of the farthest ser.ler. It is in the shop and on the ship. It is among the most la borious men in the city and in the country. The drayman has it; ihe sollier has it ; the farmer has it. All classes read the newspaper. There are so many in competition that they swarm in every department of life. They seem to us as we gaze upon them, simply as an enterprise ; but in point of fact, they are instruments which God is employing to utilize the thought and feeling of the vastest na tion that ever held a common population." 3" It i3 getting to be quite com mon, of late, ts mingle the names of the poor Otoe noblemen with every re port of Indian depredations that comes from the plains. It may all be right and it may not; at any rate, the poor fellows feel very much now like the Otoe Chief did, when the Mitsiomry was preaching "Christ Crucified" to that tribe. Tha tribe had been accus ed f doing rverj thing that was mean. and this Chief arose and inquired of the Missionary if it had been discov ered yet who crucified Christ. "Yes," replied the reverend man, it was the Jews.'1 "Pe ka 1" (good.) shouted the Chief; tkat's one thin?, anvhow. that the Otoes are net guilty of !" fiSF A traveler stopped al a public house in Maine f.r the purpose of get ting dinner; knocked but rectived no answer. Going in ho found a little white headed man in the embrace of his wife, who had his head under her arm, while with the other she was giv ing her lord a pounding. Wishing to put an end to the fight, our traveler knocked on the table, and called out in a loud voice, "Hallo, there ! who keeps this house?" The husband, though much out of breath, answered : "Stran ger, that's what we are trying to de cide !" JS? The Albany Journal says that Andy has managed to separate him self from nearly all reputable associa tions. Even the colored folks won't take office under him. He tendered the Freedmen's Bureau to a "nigger," but it was declined. Mr. Langstoh did not like to be identified with such bad company even in a good cause. "The law," said Judge Ash ursf, in a charge, "is open to all men; the poor as well as the rich." "o is the London Tavern," added Home Tooke, who was present. ESF A youngster, four years old, being asked by his parents if be had said his prayers at night, during his absence from home, replied, 'No; but I counted a hundred!" m m m JS$2F An Irishman who was re prieved, as he stated, the night before his execution, and who wished to get rid of his wife, wrote to her as follows: "I was yesterday hanged, and died like a hero ; do as I did, and bear it like a man " gsT Francis Rodman, Sec e'.ary of tha State of Missouri, got a lick over the head with a poker, a few days since, in an altercation with Mr. Shir ach, editor of the Westliche Post, ST Petroleum V. Nasby and Brick Pomeroy wert engaged together on the Corning, (New York), Journal, in 1S50 the former as foreman and the latter as devil; an appropriate di vision of labor. J3T As in riding along our conntry roads you avoid the muddy places and keep your thoughts elevated by dwell ing upon the dark pot3, the "muddy places," in men and man's character. It is more pleasant, if not more profit, able, to look on the "bright jide." lyS It is not known where he who invented the plough was born, or where he died; yn he has effected more for the happiness tf the world than tbe whole race cf conquerors and heroes who have drenched it with tears and manured it with blood. i f i - (! i
