A northern deq'ocratic journal in of j
the op uiou that it will be impecsihle to j
ever drive the Radii ft! party from power j
by any organization"under the name of
“Demucrnej," because, as it allege*, the
name is associated with “treason” and
“rebellion.” Thi* is an absurdity, for if
there is a word in our language that has
a magic ring, to rally the Aon,of people
of the land, that word is “Ih morrucy.”
It touches at once every chord of our be
iug, because in itself it comprise* all the i
best men have dreamed. all the greatest!
sages have thought, all the highest flights |
of human reason have reached, ft epito- ;
mixes all the results of the painful labors j
of mankind from the nub ilcu pts of I
savage ignorance to the beautiful fabric
of civilization. It is like a briliunt pin
acle perched on a high rugged hill, up
which struggling millions have tolled and
are still toiling. Democracy 'he rights
of the people ! Not the rights < f individ
uals, not the rights of east, or , lass, or ,
•action, hut the rights of all. Nothing
selfish, partial, limited, but, the full rec
ognition of each one’s claim, the unfet
tered development of each one’s faculties,
the unrestricted enjoyment of each one’s
rights. This is Democracy. It is won
derful that its trumpet sounds have
awakened mankind from the sleep of
lethargy, that at its echoes the ramparts
of prejudice, the strong fastness of tyr-'
anny and fanaticism have been earth
quake shaken, tottered and fdi. It is
tie most potent name ever inscribed on
party banner and in years g, no by was
the harbenger of victory. It is born from
no local passion, from no sciti-di interest,
from no personal prejudice, t om notran
■ciont expediency oy passing cause; it* vi
tal spark is on eternal truth. It claims
nothing at the expense of ot hers, it stands
upon the immutable found: t -on of itfpnty
and justice. Even those that ,-ppoae it,
dare not sunder every bond. Those that
leave it, frequently return. Democracy
is the pride of our land; it is that, which
has made it the shining beacon of man
kind, the star of hope to j resent and fu
ture generations. Not our shipping that,
dot* every sea, not our fciple, boundless
lauds, not our inventions and gigantic |
strides, make ns the wonder of Ihe world.
These are but the offspring, the practical
manifestations of the great, principles
embodied in our party name- the rights
of the people, the rights of all. Radical
ism is sectional Democracy is national,
universal. Can the most prolific bruin
invent a just cause that is not embraced
in its protecting arms ? Is there a wrong
against which it has no weapons? That
noble tree that grows only in the richest
soil, the young roots of wlii, h are fed
with the blood of patriot, men, that noble
tree extends its sheltering branches over
eye, -y thing that is good an 1 just, but
wrong and error cannot live long within
its realm. That party which watched
over the birth of this nation, which sat
by its cradle, which reared t to its youth
ful manhood, that party shall be its guar
dian angel ho long ns Providence has de
creed to prolong its days. Then let no
rash imagining no impale lit ardor to
drive from power the pres< nt party rul
ers, seduce the unwary from a brother-;
hood which has ever been faithful to its
trust. L-t no on* rashly condemn, where
results have been so grand, end abandon
the Wight lights of the past for a fitful
will-o’-the-wisp of the presclii.
There is no taint of “treason" and “re
belliou" on the proud es, uteheon of the
Democraty. The charge »s false, and the
pen that proclaimed it was influenced by
passion and not hv reason. If it was
“treason” to constitutional liberty, for
the South to battle for the rights of her
citizens, then is the charge not specially
applicable to the Democraty -for men
of all jrnrt e* wore the grey and were
marshalled under the banner of the “stars
and bars.” Hut even if title, that the
Confederate i cutest war a war of politi
cal parties, ejld that tie Democracy was
represented hr the Southern legions,even
then the charge of “treason" would he

Cholera in Tennessee.
This terrible disease is prevailing to a
limited extent in almost all the larger
towns of Tennessee, but at Nashville its
ravages are shocking. The number of
deaths will average fifty per day. The
senior editor of the Atlanta Constitution,
who passed through that city a few days
ago, writes that “the half is not known.
The courts, schools, banks, and nearly
every other place of business are closed.
Silence, disease and death, reign supreme
in the once happy and prosperous city.
Not less than 16,000 people have fled
from its fatal precincts, and the rest are
going as fast as they can obtain trans
portation.”
The Constitution of Tuesday last, refer
ring to the terrible condition of Nash
ville, says that twenty-eight negroes died
within a stone’s throw of each other at
New Bethel, a negro settlement two mile s
from the city; they are included in the
above deaths. It is feared that few in
the settlement will escape the scourge.
,The settlement consists of small wooden
shanties, having veiy little breathing
space, with small gardens of vegetables
attached. The negroes live poorly from
hand to mouth, and drink the seeping of
limestone water, which physicians say is
very pernicious. The scene in the set
tlement is horrible; dead bodies, shriveled
and pinched up with disease and left as
skeletons with the skin clinging closely
to the hare hones, and husbands and
wive* and orphan children weeping, cry*
ing, praying, shouting and preaching.
The negroes have grown very supersti
tious. Their colored advisers tell them
that the Lord put them here and gave
them vegetables to eat, and they should
eat them; that, they would not die unless
the Lord willed it; that they should pay
no attention to the medicines of the
white physicians, because they are given
to make them sleep the long sleep. Ef
forts are making to afford them relief.

The Selma Times* o admirably ex
presses our views in regutd to the recent
conduct of General Beauregard, iiwpre
siding at a disgraceful amalgamation
and social equality meeting in the city of
New Orleans, that wc appropriate the ar
ticle entire.
The Times says that, Gen. Beauregard
was once an honored General in the Con
federate armies. When Gen. Butler was
occupying New Orleans, insulting the
women of the city, and having them, un
der his order, spoken of as common cour
tesans, Beauregard was in runumuid of
Confederate soldiers, mid was calling up
on the women of the South to send up
their church hells, with which to make
cannon to slay the insuliers of their sis
ters, and to defend their property and
homes. To-day, Butler, with alibis
scoundreli-m, is ,t man more to he re
spected by Southern people, than the de
graded ex confederate who has cowered,
under adverse surroundings, und report*,
as chairman of a committee in New Or
leans, a system of social equality, (hat.
goes further than Sumner's Civil Rights
Bill. He dictates for the future, himself,
and calls upon lii.s fellow-citizens to do
the same, to the “unieication of our
people,” and in the second resolution
states, that by our people, we mean all
men of whatever race, color or religion,
who are citizens of Louisiana. Unifica
tion means making one of different
things.
Beauregard would, for the sake of har
mony, amalgamate the races, and place
on tonus of perfect equality in churches,
theatres, on ears and on steamboats, in
cemeteries and at hotels, in schools and
banking houses, in the social circle and
at the family fireside, the negro and the
white man. This is from General Beau
regard, a, once honored General of the
Lost Cause. To w liat base uses do we
come. And to-day in Southern circles
of social respectability, and throughout
the world where Caueassian blood flows,
the name of IL n Butler should be re
sounded iu songs of praise, and Judas
Iscariot Is considered a high-toned gen
tleman, before this unifier of negro and
white bleed bo treated with the courtesy
that would be meted out to the meat ig
norant negro who toils in our midst.

“Woe wait the tongue that gives to slander’s
gale,
Falsehood's frail barque 'neath truth's unsul
lied mil,”
The person who penned these lines
must, have been one who had experienced
that “there„are storms upon life’s dark
waters,” who also bad noticed with an
observant eye the passing scenes iu the
drama of life; and who certainly could
not have been a stranger to the sacred
volume of eternal life. Wc find that the
sentiment* above expressed are not only
admitted by universal consent, but also
are verified by daily experience, and dis
tinctly declared by the omniscient Ruler
of the universe, in the volume of his will.
Where can we find a character baser, or
more despicable in the sight of God and
man, than is the slanderer or back-biter?
where can we find more depravity of
heart and corruptness of nature ? His
soul is closed to every noble impulse, and
by his acts is manifest that sneaking, as
sassin-like disposition, which is despica
ble liotb in man and beast,. He is des
titute of every act that ennobles man,
and of that charity, which without, a
person is a “tinkling cymbal and as
sounding brass.” But it is a lamentable
fact, that this vice is seldom unattended
by others equally an objectionable. Show
me a slanderer, one who is habitually ac
customed to speak ill of his neighbor, and
I will show you a self conceited, proud
and censorious person. How frequently
is it. the case, that in passing sentence
upon others, they condemn also them
selves. They think not of “the beam”
and “the mote,” and also that, “with
what measure ye mete, it shall be meas
ured to you again.” True it i* that the
sharpest tongues and the foulest minds
generally go together. Slander is rec
ognized not only us a sin, but as a hein
ous sin in the sight of our Maker. His
word is full of denunciation against those
. who follow so nefarious a practice. The
language of one irtspired writer is, “who
so privily slandereth his neighbor bim
will I cut off;” and again, “whoso ulter
oth slander is a fool.” We have also the
express prohibition, “speak not evil one
of another.” And the omnipotent de
claret, h, that they shall have “neymrt in
his kingdom.” Lord who shall abide in
thy holy hill ! Mark the answer : “He
Unit hockhileth not with his tongue.” It is
impossible, then, fora practice so strong
ly denounced by Holy Writ, to gain prev
alence, or to exist even in one instance,
in a community, without being of incal
culable injury to the good order, har
mony and happiness of society. You
would expect t,o find the latter where the
former prevails, with as much prospect,
of success as you would
“Heck mellow grapes beneath the lev pole,
Seek blooming rosea oil (lie olieek of death,
And substance in a world ol fleeting shades,"
How often it is that communities and
societies are rent asunder, and every
spark of sociality and confidence destroy
ed by t hose who have “the poison of asps
under their lips.” How often is it that
the tenderest feelings of the heart, the
fondest hopes and expectations are crush
ed, the buds of promise and the germs
of future usefulness are blasted as by
the simoon, or seared as bv the breath of
a demon; truly “death and life are in the*
power of the tongue.” The slanderer in
hales a fatal atmosphere; it is like that
of the deadly Upas tree, nothing pure,
good or virtuous can exist within his con
taminated vicinity; the very air he
breathes is pregnant with death. We
certainly deem him a deeper died villain
and more worthy of the vengeance of the
law, than is even the highway robber;
for true are the sentiments of the poet :
“Who steals my purse steals trash; ’tis some
thing, nothing;
'Twns mine, ’tis his, ami lias been slave to tlion
sands;
Hni bo who filches from me niv good name,
Hobs me ot that whitdi not enriches him,
And it)n kvs me poor culm?.”
The one comes openly, with gain ns an
incentive, and demands your purse. The
other, prompted only by malice or envy,
strikes at you in the dark with a pois
oned stiletto. He strikes not for that
which will profit him, hut with the “green
eyed monster” rankling in his heart
ruled by “tyranous hate,” he strikes at
your character, and at your good name.
He attempts to take from you that, des
titute of which, though you possessed the
wealth of.Crcesns, - though you could call
the diamonds of Peru your own,-- and
though the treasures of Potosi or Gol
couda might swell your coffers,- yet des
titute of this,you would be “poor indeed,”
“for ’t is rather to be chosen than riches,”
and is more valuable than life itself.
Who then, we ask, of these two charac
ters, acts the baser part : Which is the
more worthy of the execration of every
community ?—which should have the
stamp of Cain written with indelible char
act 11 sos burning infamy upon his brow?
Let the crushed hopes of many an ach
ing heart reply; let the pale forms of
those who have found a refuge from the
fiorv shafts of slander, in a premature
grave, give the sad and solemn, but too
true response. Let the slanderer hear,
and read the words of Holy Writ, which
we again repeat: “Whoso ]>riTily slan
dereth his neighbor, him will I cut off.”
If he hope for heaven, and wishes to shun
eternal misery, let him heed the friendly
warning, and put a bridle upon his
tougue, and tuia from tl» error of his
way.

Hull Tight at St. Augustine.
It appears that there is to he a regular
I old fashioned Spanish Bull fight at St.
Augustine, Fla., at an early day. In re-
I gard to the affair the Frees of that city :
has the following :
| “Each champion must register his j
name, weapons and costume, which lat- \
ter must be approved by the committee; j
for no one will be allowed to enter the '
arena without being properly and suita
bly attired and equipped. Each one, be- j
fore entering his name on the register,!
must sign a bond, in the penal sum of j
? 100, and proper security, to fight or j
pay the forfeit of f>so. The prize for j
killing the bull will be handsome. If
the first champion kills the bull, a cer
tain forfeit, sufficient to cover the cost of i
equipment, will be paid each of the oth- [
er champions. The prizes for maiming;
or vanquishing the bull will be proper- j
tionate. The place of contest is the
natural amphitheatre, bounded on the
north by Hangman's Creek, and sur- j
rounded on all the other sides by the
sand hills. The arena will be enclosed j
by a tall and strong fence of palisades.
The seats will surround it, rising in three
tiers, the highest for the ladies. Cham
pions can fight on foot or horseback.
All must be attired in suitable armor!
representing that of the knights and es- |
quires of the middle ages of Europe; :
though it may be tin or tinsel. Those;
who fight on foot must wear a morion ■
and hauberk; unless a mounted kmglit
dismounts and fights on foot, when he 1
can fight with as complete a panoply as j
if mounted. Before any champion en
ters the arena he must appear on a stage,
with ensign armorial blazoned on his
shield and his adopted name or title.
Thus, “Roland” “Sir Kenneth of the
Couchant Leopard,” A c Each champi- i
on must also select some lady from the
spectators, before whom, on one knee, :
he must swear his devotion, and proclaim !
her the most beautiful, lovely and ae
eomplished in that company, and for
whom he goes to do battle with the bull, I
and whose honor he will uphole, likd a !
true knight, &e., Ac. Finally, after
registration, the assumed name of each j
champion will be exposed in all the ho- j
t.els, with his arms, eusign armorial, Ac.” j
All the “youths unknown to fame” in the |
vicinity of ILaigman’s creek are burn- ;
ishiug up their armor (of tin or tinsel),!
prepared to "do or die.”
Mo.shy'a Views.
The Famous Mosby has been inter- ;
viewed. He says he is opposed to the !
Conservative party of his State because ;
its war on the administration throws all
the patronage out of the hands of the
true people of Virginia. Its policy is
wrong in that it arrays the whites against
the negroes. General Grant has been i
liberal in appointing his (Meshy's) friends
to office, and has done it to show his j
earnest desire to conciliate the people of
the South. He has secured from the
President appointments for some of the I
best officers and men of his late com
mand, and in his (Mosby’s) opinion there
never can be genuine reconstruction un
til the Federal offices in the South are
filled with men who at the same time are
true to the national government and to
the people of their own States. He
thinks the conservative party cn masse
ought to go over to Grant, and in his
opinion four years from now Grant will;
be the candidate of the whole Southern
people for President . — Sav. Advertiser, j
Mixing ix the New York Schools.
Three colored girls were admitted to the-:
Normal College of New York on Thurs
day last, and ten were admitted to the
grammar schools iu Twelfth street. The !
Sun says at the opening of the College
on Friday morning Mr. Thomas Hunter,
the President, addressed the pupils, say
ing that the colored children had as much j
right there as the whites if they were j
found equally competent after an exam
ination made by him. He approved the '
law \ghich gave equal rights to all in the
schools, cars, theatres, hotels, and all
public institutions.
Arming the Negroes in Cuba.
The New York Herald says that the
steamer Morro Castle, which left New .
York ,ou Tuesday for Havanna, took
three thousand Remington rifles and up
wards of a million of fixed cartridges for
the use of the negroes who have been
lately ordered by Captain General Piel
taiu to proceed to the trocha. The or- ;
der is. however, understood to be a mere
subterfuge, and the men in question are
to be taken out to fight the Cubans on
account of the scarcity of the Spanish
troops.
