We sat down n day or two since,, and. scratched our .editorial head a solid half hour ovei matter, and the only condiuaon wt- could arrive at, was that 'Ben hiinscli .doesn’t know where he.stands..

That is a terrible mistake. ’That can never be,[never, never.-Souse people say that I am not a good Dem- .ocrat. If I ever \v:is a Democrat,.I .can honestly say that I did hot go to he.

TheNeoho Poi-cl ation—It appears, from returns made to the Census Office, that, the colored population in one thousand and thirty counties, fdrl870. is one million five hundred and seven- teon thousand and eleven.
