Communication.

Ms. Ekitob, Deer Sir: I notice the following item in the last issue of the Democratic Sentinel: “The Radicals when they were in power, placed the ballot in the hands of the negro and It is well for th*t party—if not for the enantr) —to-day that it did eo. Sambo ’ holds the balance of power. His colonitnI tin* in snflFcient nnrnhere in this state J carried Indiana: the vast population r»f them

la Peatwylvaaia carried that state, sad others worv-carried by the same slowest. Mr. Garfield has a pepedar white majority against him es 1,613,972. Met very eoasolatory.’’ I believe U is generally eeeeeded by good aad hoacrahle citizens of the United States, that every ettiarn at this Nation has equal rights which aH wen are required by the eonstiluliea te respect. Notwithstanding Hambo may be as black as the “ace of spades,” or as “Kgyptian darkness” and his nese may be as flat as a buckwheat cake, yet the editor of the Sent inti must remember that by a certain anMndment to the constitution of the United States of Aweriea, “Sambo" was placed upon aa equality with himself. I glory in our victory, and feel like giving three cheers for the fidelity of “Sambo” to the party that broke from bis limbo the terrible fetters that bound him as a brute in slavery. If Mae will conscientiously consider the kind ires'meat bestowed by ‘'Sambo” on the poor starving Union soldiers in Libby and Ander»onville*«prisons when none were there but “Batnbu” to lend a helping ban<l, I think he will bo ashamed of bis “white majority*’ talk.
