Guess lie had been down to Fort Gaines to hear Mr. Harrison Liberty discuss tho political issues of the day, as he seemed to be loaded with enthusiasm, and “some other things.” He left an appointment to address the colored women of Sandy Bottom on Wednesday night three weeks. Ho told them ho was a nice man and could make a*nico speech. Ho said ho had stopped at all tho colored peoples houses near the road and noti¬ fied them. Hope the cole ml women will giye him a hearing, as ho promises to show them how to rent land cheap— how to get big pay for work, and all in cash,—and tell them where all the money is at in the country; says there is plenty of it. Ami lusty, ho will tell them how to vote. Por. COMMUNICATION Mr. Bditor:—Dm may publish these few remarks in your paper if you deem them wai t by of note: 1 have asked several democrats why they stick to the old party, and I have never yet removed but one answer, and that was: “It will not do to cast pearl before swine." I then asked what party did he call the swine. He said he would leave t hat for me to de¬ cide. So I have decided that the old demo¬ cratic party is the swine, and the kind which h>ves chicken. You may put up an old sow and feed her well, and then she will steal one hundred chickens extra per month, So it is with the old democratic party;—pay them big wages and then they will steal one hundred dollars extra por month. So I agree with the democrat that will not do to cast pearls before swine.” W have but one pearl, and it is pure democ¬ racy; and we have been casting it before the swine for thirty years and they have tram¬ pled it under foot in their mad rush for Hie “chicken.” till its face is unrecognizable, an I hardl.v fit to appear in hell, much less i ci. ilized country like ours, ut tlii-honest people of our land and cutuih-y have shoveled this priceless pearl out of the mire of so-called democracy, and have ‘-rubbed it up” until it begins to glow with radiant light—and I hope that the Peoples’ party will continue in the good work till it shines forth like the noonday sun, so that the old demos may look on and weep while angels rejoice on beholding the sight. Now, brethren, lot us come together with 1 • r < t* cord and place our shoulders to the win dl push forward, and we will gain the victory, for the good Book says: “The voice of the people is tho voice of God." And God is our leader, and if we will follow Him He will lead us safely through, Old GUI Early, Clay, send send Brown: Naramoro, Two purer and nobler men Can ne'er be fou" . f. G. C. Judged by th® Record The New York Tribune says Parties are judged not by what t! 5 .i a* were under moral obligations to do, . by what they say they may do some day, but by what they have done. By this practical test, democracy is the party of trusts and monopolies, It has enacted a tariff bill which, according to Chairman Wilson, will enrich the sugar refiners to the extent of $40,000, 000. It lias abandoned the party ground of free raw materials and repudiated the platform pledge of a tariff for revenue only, and legislated directly and shame lessly in the interest of trusts and mo nopolies. By that record it will be judged, and not by the auti trust plank of the Chicago platform, nor by the campaign * speeches V against corporations r ft!U * syndicates two years ago. Tho loree of that record cannot be altered by tho farcical free sugar bill passed r by the house an hour after the surrender to the senate; nor by any be lated agitation iu the democratic press against the sugar trust. Democracy is the party of trusts and monopolies. Prof. W. Harper’s Lecture, Tho lecture of Prof. Harper on last Wednesday evening ° was both entertain * 1D . 8 au J , instructive. .

Tho following letter shows its re¬ lation to the Buel-IIazzani circulars, and was, no doubt, couuected with that glaring conspiracy: Rothschild Bko’s., Bankers. London, June 2:j, 1863 Messrs Ikleheimer, Morton and Vaxdergould, Xo. 3 Wall Street, New York, U. S. A. Dear Sirs:—A. Mr. John Sherman has written us from a town in Ohio, U. S. A., as to the profits that may be iness made under in tho National Banking bus¬ a recent act of your con¬ gress, a copy of which ayt accompa¬ nied his let‘er. Apparently this act has been drawn upon the plan form¬ ulated hero last summer by the Brit¬ ish Bankers’ Association and by that association recommended to our American friends as one that if en¬ acted into law, would prove highly profitable to tho banking fraternity throughout Sherman the world. 31 r. declares that there has never before been such an op¬ portunity for capitalists to accumu v. as that piesentedby this fit. nd that the old plan of (State i- is so unpopular, that the new scheme will, by mere contrast, bo more favorably regarded, notwith¬ standing the fact that it gives the National Banks an almost absolute control of tho national finances. “The few who can understand the system,” he says “will either be so interested in its profits, or so depend ent on its favors, that therUli be no opuosition from that class, while on tho other hand, the great body < l tho people, mentally incapable ot compredending the tremendous ad¬ vantages that capital o’ rives from tho system, will beai it burdens without complaint, and perhaps with¬ out is inimical even suspecting that tho system to their interests.” Blease advise us fully as to this matter, and also, state whether or not you will be of assistance to us, if wo conclude to establish a Na¬ tional Bunk in the city of New York. If you are acquainted with Mr. Sher¬ man (ho appears to have introduced the National Banking act), wo will be glad to know something of him. If we avail ourselves of tho informa¬ tion he furnished, we will of course make due compensation. Awaiting your reply, we are, Your Respectful Servants, Rothchild Brothers, County Court. Last Monday was County Court day. Several cases were brought before his Honor Judge W. A. Scott. Among the cases that were called was, “The State vs. Moon-eyed Mule.” Now, this may cause some iudigna tion to brood in the breast of the mem¬ bers of the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, and they might think that the courts should have nothing to do with said animal. But, when a mule has conducted liim lti a manner to be “pulled” by the town marshal, and then after one of the citi¬ zens of said town was kind enough to take the mule out of the “jug,” and whereas the court had commanded said mule to be and appear at said court, and whereas said mule failed to see it that way, wo believe that the court had the right to fiue said “baalam” $37.50 and cost, for contempt of court.
