RENSSELAER REPUBLICAN. M. BITTERS. Editor. Thursday Mori*ixo. Nov- 20, 1870.

Since the Southerner* have heard »f the Republican victoria* in the X<wth, thehr cry for Tllden and Reform ha* ceased, and are now joining in the lin e itation* of their Northern brethren—“ What ahall we do to be saved?* 1 Tt i* reported that the Secretary of \tar will indorse General Sherman** anggesticn that • bill be passed for the basis of *25,000 men exclusive of those on special detail —that is, for an effective fighting force of that number, instead of an arjny on poper aaade np» Jbrgely of men doing duty as clerks. Massachusetts has a property and, an educational q inlificatioit o* tire j suffrage, which is a decided disadvantage to the Democracy in that Slate. By this act about 95,000 mite adults are disfranchised and nine-tenths of that number are Dein Mcr.it*. Ben Butler never realized riie injustice of thi« measure *eHi+ He became the- Bourbon candidate for governor. The Greenback party in .New York polled 75,000 votes a year ago, .•» majority of winch were taken from the Republican*. At the recent election they only mustered <,500 votes, or* nne-tcmlfc as many as twelve months ago. The return of the Republican Green backers to the Republican party in the rural districts is what saved the State, in spile of the disgusted scratchcrs in tiw cities, who-could not stomach fh'c Cockling machine dictation. * Tf?e National Republican ennv mittee.will meet on the 7ah of Dc ceinber to decide where and when ro hold the next National Republican convention for tfio nomination of President and Vice President. Indianapolis being centrally located we hope its claims will be carefully considered; then, too, it might as ►isl largely in rydeeming the lloosier State from- Democratic mismanagement, that wc may no longer l»e stigmatized as the tail of* the Confederate kite. A lie is a poorin vestment. There is something about it which often creates suspicion in the public mind, even when its environment has the fair appearance of rectitude. A caso in point relates to Colonel Ingersdl’s second lecture in Reading, Pa., on Thursday night. A year or so ago lie lectured there to a small house. This year the com mittee having the enterprise in hand conspicuously as a hail to draw religious and anthinfulel people lliatnothing wotdd. be said hi controveiition of accepted religious beliefs- The hjusc was worth $97., and the small congregation was treated to- an attack on Bible theory and. doctrine, the brilliant eloquence of which was a fu tile concealment of its sinister character. “Accepted religious beliefs” were directly ami the colonel made the arepiues under which he lectured guilty of a flagrant false pretence. But the point is that thc<publiu*was not taken in and the lecture was a complete .financial failure. It always pays to deal fankly with the people where their patronage is solicited, and we venture to say that a good many years- mill, elapse before Colonel IngersolPcan commands large audiauce in Reading for anything but a political speech.

The Situation in Louisiana.

ri Our owr, battle* ir. the north are now over f; r this year in the field of politics.. The Republicans of Louisiana have made a requisition for orators of eloquence and'stateumcn 'qf fume and influence to come down * to them from the north and take part in their t canvass, which-con- . tinues on till the second day of December. How this call from Macedonia can be neglected our legion of speakers will have to answer. The * assurance is given by the leading Republicans of Louisiana that not alone will their canvass be beikcfil*d by the speeches of distinguished northerners who will show a participating interest in the fate of onr political'brethren*, but their presence will prevent the bulldozing and bloodshed by the fire-eaters which have heretofore the strength of the .Uemocratic campaign. Such h result alone is worth the trouble of going down to Louisiana, and if the restraint of eminent witnesses from the north will be sufficient to repress the violence of the bulN dozers, what cheaper or more convenient method contd fee-adopted? •The Republican party of the north must see to it that all the speakers Kellogg, Pitkin and Warmonlh say ara needful to carry Loaisiana for general Beattie, flic Republican candidate for governor, are supplied. If the request is refused our managers will reoeive more condom nation at the worth than from the ill treated*Louisiana Republicans. What is the present duty of the Republican party* towards the south? It is to secure tlie unmolested enjoyment of life, liberty and property?to every citizen,no matter what jliis oolor or what political opinions. lie may choose to utter.) It is Che habit ol the worst southern

element, on which the strength of the Democratic party depends south of the old line, not only to intinriI date negroes and white Republicans, j but to terrorist other peaceful men ! of the community, the men who are | Democrats or ex-Con fed crates, bat I who love quiet and believe iu jus- ! lice, from doing anything to dia- ; countenance the means employed by | those who lead the solid south in the interest of the politicians and office-boLTera. We ate assured by the Republicans of Louisiana that tbrs better clement in that state can be gained in support of Beattie j if it is seenred from violence, and that security will be ample in the simple presence of a goodly number of prominent northerners to witness any outrages that might be perpetrated. The better Democrats are disgusted with the failure and corruption of the Nichols managers, who have ruined the credit of the slate, which under the worst Re publican government was preserved i and transmitted by the retiring KelIngg officials in a s >und condition. Many of them will vote for a Republican candidate for governor to redeem the stale from the verge of bankruptcy and repudiation on which it is now trembling, if they are not interfered with. Here the solid Diunocracy of Louisiana can be broken; an entering wedge can be inserted that will separate the good and bad elements of Demacraey to a certain extent, arraying the former on our side and making the Republican party the refuge ot the native wnite Democrats who want to save their state from the gnlf of dishonor towards which the Democracy is pushing it with wonderful wrecklessness. Here an example us independent voting can be set which will hastily be followed in the other southern states. Here the whites can be divided into two sections, each depending on the colored vote for support, and therefore interested to treat the black voters well. We cannot stop to punish all the crimes that have been committed against liberty and equal rights in the south. We must prevent them in the future, and be content to let tfceresord of tbe.pnst stand in lasting condemnation of those who are resposiblo for it. It blackens the history of this country with a terrible pnge of barbarity and wickedness in the face of and in contrast with the highest civilalion. If the Republiojuvpaa-ly ot the north will send its speakers to Louisiana and give that state one fair election, it will have, taken a great step towards bringing back the Republican states of the south to their proper standard by a free vote in the presidential struggle of 1880.

LESSONS OF THE HOUR.

•’He nut lire, Kr.owiug flint lie ctow» wiser every day. Or else pot live at all, and seeing too Each little drop of wisdom as It falls Into the dimpling cistern of his heart,” The local and revolutionary patriotism preached and practiced by a Democratic Congress alarmed the people, who, when they deliberate are wise. The elections of 1879 have taught a. lesson of patriotism, the measure of. whiob is the Nation’s contour. The people demand a safe and honest government; a free and peaceable ballot, a liberty based on equal rights and a currency tree from cheat and fraud. The people have decided that non-partisan tests for jhrors is the most wise and ancient rule. That a citizen should obey a law of the Nation as paramount to all State laws, and'that law andorder are infinitely to be preferred* over anarchy and revolution. ' The people believe that an abuse of onr army—the blue-coateij guard of our Nation—is but studied demogoguery and a shallow devise of traitors-. On election day no man should be coerced in hi« privilege of casting one free ballot by either citizens or soldiers. All coercion of the franchise should be a high crime, and National elections should certainly be supervised by national authority. We insist and demand that each voter shall conform to the law and vote at each election, once only, in peace. When our present constitution was adop’ed poor Richard said: “Now thU Republic is a rising sua.” The state-sovereignty faction made a riotous fight against its adoption and an araendineuVwas conceded to them. The League doctrine passed from rebellious sire to rebel son. The new government was scorned and Washington with loaded muskets proved the motto “Liberty and no Excise,” borne alofu by the whisky rebels-to-be a delusion and snare. His Clemency pardoned* all the Alleghany traitors. “The Union ***** can only be preserved by respecting the sovereign rights of the Sates,” said Calhoun. “By the eternal the Union must and shall be preserved,” thundered old Hickory. The Naillifiers were crushed and* a second time pardoa was meted to-the Malefactors. Iu IBGd.ih» lieirs of the factions poison-distilled in. the SHnotirsed caucuses of the Calhoun Democracy organized a bloody onslaught npoD the Nation. Iu the language of the aphoristic Bulk, “Man is a most unwise and

most wise being; the Individ mil is foolish; the multitude is foolish for. the moment, when they set without deliberation; bat the species is wise.” The record of the Democratic party bad hitherto and still does disavoirthe authority to coerce States. There was a species of Democrats, however, living at the north, who rose above party and fought with Lincoln, am) the Union woe saved. In our triumph an abundance oi charily pardoned for the third time red-handed treason. Washington, Jackson and Lincoln bade* surviving rebels repent and lire. Their start of houor shine with no less luster because their courage was supplemented with clemency. Why do* we stilt aco the signal flag of danger? It is waving over the Democratic headquarters. The same faction marked its accession to partial power by enactments bearing the ear-iuarks of the Confederate ghost. In the last congress there was manifest, Ist. An open denial of the coordinate and equal rights of the President. 2d. A desperate attempt to nullify laws by withholding supplies to enforce them. 3d. A hostile attack on the army and denying its use to preserve the peace. 4th. A corruption of the trial by jury, by imposing a partisan test as a taint on a juror's fairness and hor or. That so called Democratic faction as the M.ijor said ot Joey Baystook is “tough and devilish sly.” The leaders have ealled a hault and for success may inarch to better music. It is a struggle to wiest the control of the country from those who believe in National laws, National currency and National elections and to give us instead, State supremacy, wild cat money, and mob law. Success tor 6iich a faction harbingers nullification, disunion, secession, nonintervention, non9U. pervision, and a denial of all implied powers to our Natloual government. Friends, whatever have been your past affiliations,whatever party has pleased your fancy, come and let us enroll ourselves with the hosts who advocate sound doctrine in all sincerity and assist to crown our country’s future with advanced and perfected achievements, reflecting glory upon all the past events of onr history. We hope all our young friends will trust that party whose patriotism covers the continent, whose laws accord safety to all orderly and law-abiding citizens; whose principles accord to our charter a liberal and equitable construction; and whose platform proclaims liberty and equal rights to all. Kind reader, assist us to kindle the patriot fires for the struggle of 1880. The enemy is alert and seductive. Let us nerve our stalwart souls, and save Indiana from her Confederate allies. This is the mission of the Republican.

Homer D. Cope at Rensselaer.

The second entertainment of the lecture course of the Irving Literary Association will be given at Starr’s Hall, Friday evening, Nov. 28, ’79. This time Homer D. Cope will render Banim’s grand classical drama, “Danon and Pythias,” followed by Mark Twain’s humorous masterpiece, entitled “Uncle Daniel’s Appiration,” the most perfect portraiture of negro character ever produced. lie has been accorded unusually flattering receptions in New York, Boston, Washington, Chicago, Indianapolis and many other cities, and is very highly spoken of by the press wherever he has appeared. Did space permit highly complimentary notices from leading newspapers of the Atlantic cities, with those throughout the length and' bredth of our country, could be given, but after reading tbe following, the public ought surely to be satisfied with regard to the merits of this favored man: After years of experience and intimate knowledge of the business in the United States and Canada, we affirm that the success of Mr. Cope’s efforts, together with the rapidity of its attainment, is absolutely Without a parallel. As a further assurance to committees, we guarantee the new entertainment to be unsurpassed by any* tiling over offered upon the platform, and a failure to accomplish this may be regarded as sufficient cause for withholding the fee.— American Bureau , Cooper Institute , New York Citif. In speaking of the death of General Hooker, the Laporte Chronicle says: “Another veteran has gone to receive his final reward. Another gallant soldier has sheathed his sword forever. The brave,dashing, indomitable Hooker is no more. He who never fiiuched in the face of : the foe, who was in his element when the battle raged fiercest, who turned and fretted at inaction when he t hought it gave th» enemy advantage, was obliged to capitulate in the presence of death. He had fought the battle of life well,he had served his country faithfully, and, fuli of honors and years, ho entered the presence of the Great Commander, who knows the humblest private soldier as well as the most 'exalted, officer, aud, who will give Ho every one his just meed of praise. May the defender of his country be permitted to joiu the otjior heroes who have goue before—Thomas, Kearney, McPherson—and bo ushered into the realms of eternal rest.
