When a wle man acta about a work, he
naturally conaidcra at the very first, the
difficulties in the way, ami adopts a plan
for their removal or conquest He counts,
as far tut rnny be, the cent. In nothing la
this prudent primary action more neces
sary than in the conduct of a political un
dertaking. Given, that the proposed
achievement is hoooruble and patriotic ;
that It involves the weal of tliousauad; that
to fall must entail great evils; that the
odds urc against the undertaker ; and that
the time lor the accomplishment of tho
work is short, —wisdom, prudence, patriot
ism,—all unite to urge the adoption of the
best plan and the employment of the most
worthy and /available means
In entering upon the campaign in lllbb
county and Ih theVlth Congressional His
trict, what does this wisdom suggest ?
1. Thill lire imum hr projterly defined.
TJjoy are not personal to candidates—but
such as affect the whole people In ull their
Interests and relations They are not con
fined to classes. There is no division of
interests What is important lor tho Innd
owner Is equally so for the laborer. What
interests tho merchant must lie important
to tho planter. And wlmt cornea home to
the white citizen cannot be unimportant
to tho colored. Necessary measures arc
not party measures. The protection of
industries, the development of resource*
the diminishing of taxes, and an honest
economical home government, are matters
universal and pertinent to all alike.
Much are the Issues of tho Hlatu and
district campaign. What class of can
didates licst represent the right of these
issues? Who, in tho field, seeking the
sulli ages of his foUow-eitlzeas, stands, by
honor, previous history,and solemn pledge,
for the whole people in the contest—out
sido of nil party considerations? These
are questions to ponder seriously, and they
ask the unprejudiced thoughts of every
citizen.
2. 7 hat the difficulties iti the tuny <f a
righteous judgment, nnd of the tuccees of
right, be carefully eanratsed. What are
they ?
A bitter pnrly feeling at once suggests
itself. No matter bow this feeling came
about, or wbo U funning Its Haines. Does
it exist ? If yes, can It bo overcome ? and
bow ?
Not by drawing strict lines. Not by
violent opposition to the prejudices of ig
norant men. It must lie done by reasona
ble methods. Light is too much for dark
ness A devoted effort to remove prejudi
ces ennuot ho lost, together with a deter
mined purpose to carry truth and right
over them. A common partisan method
is blatant tlircnlciilugs, the loud expletives
of (party assurance, the vulgar thunder of
knaves ami fools—but the steady pressing
of the oompaci hosts of determined,respon
sible constituents, will disarm all such
campaigners, and rob them of their more
humane adherents.
We pay no regard to threats from a po
litical pnrly, us against the rights and du
ties of freemen who are striving to redeem
their country and to preserve their State.
When men of thought and purpose thus
eomblue, all the (himinations that corrup
tion, malice, disloyally ami plunder can
belch forth, will not lessen their number
or enfeeble their efforts.
H is stated that the Grant party is organ
izing and drilling to seize the polls on elec
tion day, and by threats, intimidations and
riots, regain Its supremacy in the State
We withhold our cenftdeueo in this state
ment But If it he true, It is as jxiwerless
ns It is imbecile. Who wants riot and
bloodshed, and sanguinary strife ? l>o our
colored citizens? Then let them eoiue to
the polls armed nnd equipped as for war,
and their invitation will uot remain un
heeded. Hut they cau desire no such dis
play, and will, we are assured, attempt no
such folly.
Wo believe that they are learning rap
idly the art of self-interest, and that it is
found in coalition with their white fellow
citizens, and uot w ith the predatory emis
saries sent among them by Mr. Grant ami
the Uadic&l leaders.
3. That the epirit of tictorioue ri-’fit.
be inculeated and exhibited in ali our
tforte.
llu who goes to battle w ith doubts as
to hi* cause or as to his ability to win it,
merits, and will meet, defeat. We are
laboring, not for a short campaign only,
but for a long future The principles we
announce, and the objects we present, are
not temporary things to be hid away when
the present issue is past.
If in the event, we should be defeated,
in respect of immediate victory,our prin
ciples will survive, aad will bare gained
a lodgment aud an omnipresent influence
which must turn the scale for the right
Bnd the true, in time.
p The Spirit of Victory' What if major
ities confront us? What if formidable
engineries of money, corruption, chicanery
Administration machinery, ami all the
heavy artillery of despotism and central
ism, belch forth their filth and fire ? The
firm step, the steady onward, tho unflinch
ing purpose, the bunded hearts and
unconquerable courage of honest men of
knowledge nnd of action, will spike or
capture them In a little time
There must he no Achan in the
camp , no one whose traitorous soul can
he bought with gold or the bonds of the
oppressor ; no one who for pluco or pre
ferment, will surrender himself or Ids
people to tho enemy I
Let all be oelivc, harmonious, deter
mined, and pusli the battle—in the spirit
of victory. Go la to win ’■ It Is your
right. It is your province. It is within
the compass of your power !
We do not say "now or never" or, "now
you must succeed or ho forever ruined I"
We do not say that, nor do we believe it.
Wo say that which is better. Go in to
win! note, If you can, hut go in! If not
now, then, and ever after.
Hut let every man heed tho cry of duty,
and let him not stay upon tho order of his
going. What can you do in seven days?
God made tho world—see if you cannot
save your State—in hcvcii dnys!
A\ I A.II NT ANPKItNION.
We are loathe to take a serious jiosltion
against our city cotomporary, the Tele
graph nml Messenger, hut two articles,
which have appeared editorially, in that
paper within tho week, are so conspicu
ously unjust nml incendiary, that WO do
not hesitate for ourselves and all law
uhiding citizens, to visit them nml their
authors with unqunlillcd condemnation.
In reference to the “Pistol Law” article,
the person chiefly accused, is allowed to
speak for himself, In our columns. The
article t which wc now refer appeared
this morning, headed “Jteepcctablo" white
men running us liailical candidates," and
is characterized by as much venom us
anything ever attributed to the Satanic
pen of Wemlcll Phillips. Wo deprecate
its appearance. We uru united with our
neighbor in fighting this campaign on the
principles of tho Cincinnati and Baltimore,
and Atlanta platforms agultist ltadicalism
iu ull lls feature*. We are conscicutieusly
tho uncompromising foe of Grant's Ad
ministration, ami the principles underlying
it, and can show as brave and consistent
a record as the Telegraph and Messenger.
Hut wc take tho liberty of culling that
journal to order—uncut the article in
question. It is full of wicked (uninten
tional wo will say) sophistry, and breathes
a spirit of parly hriinstono entirely out of
accord with principle, good sense, and
good manners.
“ Respectable white men ” who cun ac
cept Radical nominations, arc not, there
fore, the advocates of "theft," "arson,"
" butchery,” etc.., etc., see Telegraph and
Messenger; but do a service to their
country—whether in their election or In
their defeat —and save their country
wrongs that would otherwise ho entailed.
Do we adopt all Mr. Greeley's isms—ns
they are called—and purticulurly his pol
icy of Free Trade, when wo accept him
on our platform ?
Hut, we have no heart to argue our
neighbor’s positions. They are unworthy
of him, and deservo the severest censure.
Wo impe not to ho drawn out in a
lengthened protest or argument, hut, if
such articles are put forth hy a Demo
cratic press, wo shall feel it our duty—as
honest Democrats, to oppose them with
wiser counsel.

The Square Issue.
Reading lor ltlaek ami W hite.
The following is the full report of Mr.
Horace Greeley's great speecli at Louis
ville, delivered before au immense assem
blage last Saturday evening (taken from
the Louisville Ledger). We commend its
perusal to eur colored citizens particular
ly, since it contains vital facts bearing on
Mr. Greeley's relation to them
VIK. ORKKI.KV’B St’KKCII AT TIIK OALT
IIOUBK.
Ciiiten* of Louin iIU ; Standing on this
soil of Kentucky, t ask you, who are my
associates In the great Liberal movement
of tlie day, to bear testimony with me to
certain truths. First, is it not true that
we desire a government of Just and equal
laws, which shall extend equal tavor and
equal protection to every American citi
zen ? [Great applause, and cries of
"That’s so.'] Is it not true that while wc
demand repeal of all disfranchisement, of
all proscriptions of Americans because of
tlib part they bore iu the late stiuggle. w e
desire that uo mail shall tie disfranchised,
llmt no man shall lie proscribed, but that
every man shall staud on an equal plat
form with ourselves ? Is not that the
fact ? [Cries of "Yes, that’s se "] Is it
not true that we have no expectations, no
purpose, no understanding. Unit the rebel
debt shall be paid, or the rebel soldiers
pensioned, or the slaves, emancipated by
the result of the war, paid for ? Is it not
true that we have no pur|iose or expecta
tion or understanding that any of these
shall lie done ' [Groat applause, and cries
of "You are right.”]
Now. fellow-citizens, I wish to call your
attention to one aspect of this struggle
which has uot been presented. There is
no class of our citizens, no part of the
American jH-ople who have so real and
great an interest in the success of our
movement as the eelored people of this
country, for though they know that wc all
admit that their rights are perfectly secured
by- the Constitution, and that no one can
go back of that, it is still their real interest
that those rights shall not be merely ac
corded, but that they shall be cheerfully
accorded , that there shall Ire no opposi
tion. no objection to tbeir enjoying just the
same political aud civil rights that we do.
It is their interest more than yours or mine
that all contention concerning black men
or white men shall absolutely cease, that
every individual shall be judged aud esti
mated according to his worth, with no re
spect whatever to color or condition. If
c or movement succeeds, there is no party,
there is no considerable faction, really
there is nobody left in the field opposing
or objecting to their standing on a com
mon platform of American nationality.—
[Great applause ] I say, then, that it is
their c lear interest that our movement shall
lie welcomed and ratified and approved by
the entire American people, and yet it is u
very discouraging fact presented to us that
there is no other classjso generally and so
bitterly opposing us as they are. There is
no other class, as a class, who insist so
thoroughly on misapprehending and mis
representing us. I say this uot to excite
prejudice against them. They are igno
rant, and their ignorance is not their own
fault, though it is their and our misfortune.
They are misled, and we are calumniated
in their ears. Why, I havo been repeat
edly asked to contradict assertions that I
have been a negro trader. Even on my
way to this place, one quadroon girl, ufter
hearing mo speak, said : “ I would like to
stick a knife into his heart, lie sold my
mother iu Kichruoud, Vn” [Great ap
plause.]
1 cun imagine no reason why lies like
that should be told. I cau imagine no
reason why good men and women should
not everywhere discountenance and refute
them. It is, I say, a misfortune of the
colored people, a misfortune of our peo
ple, that they, as a class, are steeled against
us. They will not hear us. They do not
believe us. They are told that lids move
ment is a contrivance to get them enslaved
again, virtually if uot absolutely, and that
all the pretensions of the Cincinnati plat
form and Baltimore endorsement in favor
of equal rights are frauds, are lies. If
this party succeeds, says Mr. Wendell
Phillips, you must conceal your property
and take care of your arms. Now, fel
low-citizens, 1 statu these facts here uot
that I would have you think any worso of
this misguided people; I state them be
cause I want you Kentuckians to rcaliz,e
that ignorance is a public peril; that you
cannot well afford to have any part of
your people growing up iu that dense un
iiquaintuiicc witli public order and puldic
allairs that they can be deceived and mis
led as this people are.
You want to luke care that they shall
he educated, so that they shall be too
wise, too well Informed to lie thus de
ceived and misguided. Fellowclti
zeng, if our movement shall prevail,
as 1 trust it will prevail, we will sweep
away all this refuge of lies in three months.
We will say to the colored men: We
proffer you nothing except the protection
of the laws, the sumo for you as for us.
You have your living to earn us well as
we. You will have to use all your abili
ties, all your energies, uil you'- faculties,
and make the most of them you can. The
laws do not favor you, but they will thor
oughly protect you ; and iu three months,
if we succeed tho colored people will Ire so
disgusted that the same men cau never
deceive them again—never again.
Hut suppose we fail, and we may fail.
[A voice, "We are not going to fail.”]
Our great duuger is this : If the colored
men did not Itelievc that tho power was
against us, that the money was against
us, if they did uot realize thut t lie Treas
ury, the array, the one hundred thousand
olllce holders were all banded against ns,
in a force which they believe wo can
not overcome, they certainly would not
he so universally hostile to os. They
think wc cannot succeed, ami they want
to be on the winning side. That is a part of
it; but tlu-y are also deluded in regard to
our purposes. Wc say we are not your
enemies , we will uot be your oppressors
—we will not. though you have done us
injustice. We will try, as well as well as
we can, to have your, children educated,
so that the mistakes you have made can
not be made over and over again. That
is where wc stand.
Now, fellow-citizens, why do wo con
demn proscription? They mistake who
any that there ure only two or three hun
dred left, now forbidden to exercise the
common rights of American citizens. It
is not so. There arc thousands. There
are five thousand disfranchised iu the Hlnto
of Arkansas alone, andJthe men w ho hold
them disfranchised expect to carry that
Htnto against us by virtue of that disfran
chisement. Hut it is not the number pro
scribed. Men who are not under this ban,
feel themselves proscribed because others
are, for an offense which was tlieir offense
as well. So long as you have a proscribed
class in tho country, men all around you,
honorable, generous men, will feel, ” I
ought to be proscribed the same as that
man. The dillercuco was only by accident,
lie happened to tnko an oath or fill an
office before the struggle that I did not,
but his guilt was no more than mine. Ac
cident only makes him proscribed and
leaves mo free. ”
So that so long as there shall be a pro
scribed class in this country, proscription
will rankle in the hearts of millions of
Americans who feel that they themselves
are condemned and banned in the act
which dooms tlieir leaders. It is not for
tlio sake of the proscribed alono that I
speak Every community has tho right
to the best services of all its citizens. Men
say to me, "Why, you don’t want to elect
Governor Wise or Toombs, or somebody
else, do you? No, 1 don’t want to elect
any of those men, hut suppose other peo
ple do? Who are you ; who am Ito say
whether they shall or uot? It is not a
question for me; but whether American
citizens whom you say have the same
rights to vote anil hold office for you shall
la- at liberty to vote for the meu they pre
fer, or shall be compelled to vote for the
men you prefer. Tho question reaches
uot several hundred, but millions of our
people. Well, they say : " What do the
people care about this? The hanks are
making money, the people are prosper
ing. manufactures are thrifty. Who cares
that a few hundred or thousand meu are
disfranchised ?”
I care. 1 say a war which ended near
ly' eight years ago ought to have had near
ly all its bloody traces wiped out before
this time. [Great applause ] I say that
while wo have often been amused with
promises of general amnesty, the govern
ment of the country has practically been
controlled by men like Senators Morton,
Chandler and Gen. Butler. Senator Chand
ler is saying, “ Well, all may forgive rebels
if they will, but 1 never can." Now, that
spirit is uot one that should rule a repub
lican country. A republic should be gen
erous and faithful—generous to errors
whereof the very last evil consequences
have long since faded away. Grant that
it was wrong, indefensibly wrong ; the at
tempt has been nobly battled and defeated.
Grant that the whole Confederate move
ment was as heinous as you please ; still It
was utterly defeated ; it became a lost
cause ; and there is no more probability,
and 1 might say, no more possibility, of
auother serious attempt to divide this
American Union than there is of an at
tempt to disrupt and destroy the solar sys
tem. Never before did tbs Union stand so
strong as to day. Never was Its future so
assured as it is to day, and never did any
movement result in more complete and ut
ter discomfiture than the Confederate move
ment Then 1 say seven and a half years
after the last shot was tired in behalf of
that movement, “it is time for amnesty
complete and perfect; it is time tor obliv
ion of offenses that so long since passed
away."
Fellow-citizens, we stand on the princi
ples embodied in our platform. These
principles our adversaries do not assail-
Tbey confess judgment, but they insinuate
that a purpose is therein Indicated which
is notour real purpose, and that wc mean
something utterly different, and thereupon
they proceed to attribute to us purposes
which we never cherished, which we pos
itively disavow, and which they ought to
know are utterly absurd. Tho most im
portant of them are utterly forbidden by
the Constitution, and they know it. No
man can go to Congress, or be chosen
President, without taking a solemn oath
to sustain the Constitution, which abso
lutely forbids the payment of the rebel
debts, or the payment for emancipated
slaves I commend my cause to the sober
judgment of the American people. I ask
them to judge us .without prejudice, with
out passion, and with spirits unmingled
by wrath and ,vengcance. I ask them to
judge as citizens who are sincerely trying
to do what we believe best for our coun
try ; and I do trust that passion and preju
dice will not prevail; that we shall be
judged as we are, and not e i we are repre
sented, and that the beneficent triumph
which will increase the vulue of every
acre of laud in thcßouthcrn States, which
will increase the product of these States,
make their people harmonious—black and
white —and make them live in a more
trustful, peaceful, and fraternal relation
than they have hitherto held toward each
other—l trust that this result will he at
tained, and that generations to come shall
rejoice over tho inception, the progress,
and tho triumph of the Liberal movement.

MR. J. F. LONG.
lie denies the charge of the Telegraph and
Messenger, and he deqirccates the resort
to “Pistol Law.''
Editor Daily Enterprise: —My atten
tion has just been called to an editorial
in the Telegraph and Messenger of the
24th inst., entitled “Pistol Law." As said
article places us in a false position and is
directly calculated to mislead, and inflame
the public mind, I feel it to be a duty I
owe myself and the public generally to
correct the same. The writer states that
“we are informed that Jeff. Long in a so
called speech to the negroes on the River
Road last Saturday, he told them that the
only way to carry the county was to get
and hold possession of the polls, and they
must come armod for that purpose." Last
Saturday I spoke at Perry, Houston coun
ty and 1 did not on that occasion or on
any other occasion use the language charg
ed, nor any language which could by any
legitimate rules of construction be tortur
ed into any such meaning, and the false
hood of the charge is only equaled by
its infamy.
Any person who would thus recklessly
and falsely give you Buch information dur
ing a heated political oanvass, deserves tho
Just condemnation of the whole communi
ty, and if tho Telegraph and Messenger
would rid itself of the suspicion of having
manufactured this grave charge, it will
give to an indignant public the name of
this would-be assassin and violator of the
public peace.
The second charged contained in said
article as to the negroes nightly drilling,
etc., is too absurd to challenge public at
tention. We meet in the evenings after
the days’ labors are ended, to discuss
quietly the political issues of the day, aud
if this is not our right, then indeed we have
none. My friends, both black and white,
know that 1 have ever been an advocate
of peace and fraternity, for I well know
the black and white races must live to
gether. Ours is a common country, a com
mon destiny, a common brotherhood, and
we can only live together in peace ana
unity.
These being my honest convictions, and
having tried at all times in my feeble way
to impress these convictions upon the peo
ple |of my own race, I can but be sur
prised at the action of the Telegraph and
Messenger in giving publication to slan
ders, placing me iu such a false position,
und which are calculated to disturb the
peace of society, unless it be but an excuse
for its own revolutionary advice that
••Georgia must be carried at all hazards.”
"My son Sammy’ make money, make it
honestly if you can. but make money."
The Telegraph and Messenger may make
such appeals to its many readers, but my
love of peace aud order is too deep, and
my respect for constitutional law too
abiding, to blind my judgment and lead
me to utter such words.
Very respectfully,
J. F. Long.
Blessings brighten as tiiet take
their flight. —The chief of blessing is
good health, without which nothing is

at its true value after it is lost, but, too oft

IT is universally conceded that advertising Is
a necessity to success in business; it is also
conceded, by the Bhrewdest business men, that
newspapers arc the best medium for reaching
all parties whose trade is desired.
THE MONROE ADVERTISER
reaches more of the people trading with Ma

country; It is, therefore, the best medium of
communication with the planting interests.
Wo will be happy at any time to furnish refer

who will testify to the fact that they have re

their cards in The Advertiser. In fact, many

The Advertiser has tho freshness of youth and

successful.
