Democratic Sentinel, Volume 3, Number 24, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 July 1879 — The Nitger [ARTICLE]

The Nitger

The deficiency of ex-Attorney General Denny, radical, of this State, is officially reported by the Legislative committee at $34,898 59. ■». -■ The consul copies an article from the N. Y. Independedt cotnplaing that “There is no money in the United States Treasury to pav Marshals.”— A Democratic Congress appropriated money for that purpose and Fraud Hayes vetoed the bill. Happy to see you cuss the Fraud. John Sherman could all along find positions for Lizo Pinkston, Agnes Jenks, Tom Anderson, in fu.t for all Louisiana liars and returning board perjurers, male and female, black and white, and never until now, on the eve of important elections, has he ever thought of requiring a good re cord of services in the union cause as a necessary recommendation, Mark the hypocrite.

LaPorto Argus: “We recently designated the Rensselaer Sentinel as a Republican paper but, of course, we meant the Standard. The Sentinel is a first-rate Democratic paper and richly deserves the support of the people of Jasper county. McEwen, we’ll never do it ugain—never." All correct. We supposed it was an unintentional error, but could not permit it to pass without correctionJustthkikl—The disgrace!! Upon the rigid enforcement of the nationul electiou taw the radical committee depend for success in 1880. Sweeping changes tire to be made among the Federal officials of South Carolina, chose now in posltfou there being charged with either timidity oi affiliation with Democrats. The same process will bo instituted in other States, aud only such as will strictly carry out the programme of fraud aud corruption coucoe ed by the committee will be assigned to duty.

CoMswof—The idurtt Family, and Juvenile Quartette, who have won golden opinions from the press and public as the Juvenile musical mirth makers, presenting a most unique, chaste and elegant entertainment.— Their reportyire embraces many of the choicest gems, glees, choruses, solos, duetts, trios, quartettes, and most laughable character sketches.— Their Juvenile Quartette is the youngest ever produced or presented re the musical world, and is composed or four children, ranging in age from 3 to 8 yours, singing their separate parts perfectly and independently, and they are justly styled, by the public, the musical prodigies of the age.” The Montieelio Herald aud other radical pnperes me publishing a letter purporting to have been written by a Mr. Murray, in disparagement of Mr. Voorhees and other prominent Deiaocrats. They claim for Mr. M. that he is tin Itulinru Deiuojerut. The iCtter was not written in Indiuua, but boars date at Washington, and if indited by its reputed authors is evidently an outburst of irritation, produced by heart disease inspired by “nope deferred.” Can’t inuko my thing by the publication of such epis tics, old pard, better copy that of den. Butler on the same subject, evidently not a product of the same in spirations, if you would give your readers facts.

Judge Baldwin of Lugausport, and Dr. Wm. Spencer, of Monticello, have opened a banking house in the latter place. Both gentlemen are reputed “solid” financially, by those having opportunities for knowing. They pledge themselves, personally, and as bunkers, to abstain from speculations at every kind, and declare that “not a dollar of our banking funds will be invested in any other than legitimate bank busiuess.” They consider that “the risks of taking care of deposits and repaying them on demand is all that a sound bank can offer to take." and will therefore pay no interest on deposits. All in all, they seem to have a very correct idea of what constitutes safe and legitimate banking principles.

In the radical Biographical Dictionary, Moseby, the rebel guerilla, Postmaster General rebel Key, rebel General Longstreet, and a host of other rebels who have not had the manhood to withstand the temptations held out by tho radfeal conspirators to seduce them, are designated as loyal citizens and fit recipients of honorable and profitable positions under tfea prince of frauds. Per contra: General Ewing, Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio, who did good service for the Union, and. Gen. Rico, Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor of of Ohio, who Lost a leg while keeping step to the musie of the Union, are denounced by the conspirators as enemies of the country, and Fraud Hayes, Cowboy, Sherman, Moseby, Key, Longstreet, Lize Pinkston, Ai.~ Des Jenks, and lesser radical lights declare that the whole power and patrouage of the government must be concentrated to secure their defeat. Thanks to a Democratic Congress the Uniied States army and marshals are prohibited from service \n the nefarious schemes of the radical bummers and liars to perpetuate t ieir power.

If the following had originated in a Democratic paper? But it didn’t. Ii is from a deeply-dyed-iu-the- wool radical newspaper, the Lamar (Iowa) j Sentinel, headline and ail: While the amiable idiocy that pro vailed in Congress during the reconstruction days was at its height, the nigger was enfranchised. He was invested with the ballot on the pretty theory Hint he was a man and a brother, with an infusion of sand in his make-up.

It was given to him on the schoolgirl notion that affection for the party that gave him his freedom wo’d make him its perpetual instrument. But the nigger is less serviceable to the republican party as a voter than he was as a slave. He needs too much coddling—loo much piotectiOD. He cun only vote the republican ticket when surrounded by a cordon of republican bayonets. He has no grit in him. There is more voting energy and party strength in a dozen raw Irishmen than in a thousand well-fed niggers There is not an ounce of Stalwartism in a ton of nigger. The more nigger the less strength. As a slave the picturesque misery of the nigger was an unfailing armory of party weapons—as a freeman there is no romance in him—cowardice is not romantic. Ail over the south he is throwing his ballet forjrebels and traitors, when he votes at all. He is too cowardly to vote for his convictions, or too stupid to have convictions. When Stalwarts get into power in 1880 he must either be disfranchised or compelled to vote right. The free nigger is a fraud.
