Fait Against Peter.?The Czech Cdtho- | lies threaten, as we are told by a telegram from St. Petersburg, to become Catholics of the Greek Church should the dogma of Papal infallibility be promulgated in Rome. This reads somewhat like robbing Peter to pay i Paiil. The Czechs want to be men and fa Hi- . ble. How do the Poles vote ? The Cable states that the arrangement to start the yachts in the international oer-an race from Old Head of Kin?nle has been changed, and that Daunt Head, about thirteen miles further east than Kinsale Iload, haabi-en fixed upon. This will make the distance to be run a little more (Daunt Head b.-injf nearer to Cork than Kinsale), the honor to the victor Done the less. The Fall Campaign.?Referring to the fall Campaign in this State, the Ogdensburg Jour- ' nal says it "feels it in its bones that thing* j are working which will result in a republican riotory in November." The way things are working among the republican* in this city it seems as if there is likely to be considerable rattling among the dry bones in the party be|qfe long all over the State. 1/ ''Congressmen At Labge"?Is the title to fnany editorial articles in Western papers about these days.

V* NEW Y TIIA CO.IML I..I0 AC ilwt I HrpnblleThe Fourth of July, 1870, is more truly an occasion for national self-gratulation tlinn uny the American people have ev( r Been, not even excepting the days in which they immediately celebrated the assured fact of independence. It is the first return of our great anniversary that sees all the States in the enjoyment of the rights that constitute them equal members of the Union, after the privation of these rights in a struggle of greater danger to us and greater moment to humanity than that against the British tyranny, llad our forefathers failed to make good against Britain the claim of 1770, that they were of right entitled to the control of their own destinies, that failure would not have given the English domination a respite of tweutyyears. In that early age we were already a resolute race, and it ever there was a people fitted to bequeath "from bleeding sire to son" the unfinished fight for freedom it was the people that bred their cool temper and firm will on every sjope from the cold shores of Maine to the blue hills of the old Mother of States. The power competent to hold this people in a system of government against the general consent has not yet grown upon the earth. Looked at justly, therefore, our independence of a domination beyond the Atlantic, if it had been deferred in one decade, would have been secured in another ; it was simply no more than a question of time as to who should prevail; and we cannot believe that our defeat in the first war would hare ultimately imperilled this grandest humane experiment of .all the ages by which we are endeavoring to demonstrate that the best government is that which views humanity from what we may suppose to be the standpoint of God Almighty himself, and recognizes no distinction between his creatures but such as we must believe He also would recognize. But there was a greater danger than thnt with which we were menaced by the government of the country from which the first colonies came. It was a danger that was great only because it had its growth among ourselves, because it was rooted in our vices, weaknesses, passions and vanities. This danger was that the consent of the whole people to a single system of government would not continue long enough to give our experiment a fair trial?that ii, would fail not on a test of its merits, but because on minor points the great nation would split up into half a dozen or more parts ns contemptible as the worst of antiquity in their pitiful bickerings and wasted wars. This danger arose from two facts. Slavery was one of these; the other was that mischievous invention of small politicians, inspired with geographical prejudices?the < notion of State rights. In the organization of 1 the country there was a seed of civil war?of 1 bitter collision between the parts?which needed for its germination only the heat of party coutests. The States, it was conceded, were separately sovereign within certain limits. The whole nation was sovereign also wiihin certain limits. If either power should pass its assigned limit it must collide with the other. Here, then, were hostile sovereignties operating within the same circle, and each kept in its proper sphere only by the intellectual restraint of a set of legal definitions. Legal definitions are an infinite subject of dispute, and it therefore could not but happen that such differences of opinion should arise touching the respective theatres of the two systems of government as would put the whole people by the ears. Conciliation, mutual deference?a spirit of giving way on smaller points in view of greater ones?the moderate tone of public thought which was not swayed by party passion from the regard to public welfare?all these things kept the national harmony until the fight arose and the quarrel was pushed on the topic of slavery. Here the time hud come when there could no longer be any compromise. The founders of the government had first assented to this institution from the necessity of the case. On no other terms could the slave States have been brought into the same unity of government with the free States. But undoubtedly the true spirit and aims of the American republic were move nearly laid down in the Declaration of Independence than in the constitution, and it was the aspirution and tendency of the national thought to grow toward the better ideal. Half a century nude a sentiment against the institution. which, while it was morally praiseworthy, was fanatically aggressive in taking mi regurd to the right of the other side and to the compromises that bound us to respect that light. Some were thrust into a war to determine whether slavery should perish, or whether, slavery surviving, the Union of the States should give way and the future should see on one hand a slave republic, on the other a fanatical puritan republic, with a great group of commercial States growing befind flip \Wst behind all with a destinv vague mid undefined. No human creature can doubt but that we have reached the better result, uud certainly none among us dispute this but those to whom the issue was individually oppressive in crushing aspirations of personal ambition and a pride that could only have been gratified at a price that no pride is worth. We have come gloriously through the war, and at last are escaped from even the dangers of anarchy that threatened us a consequence of the war. Safely for the present, therefore, we stund, a republic of thirty-seveo States and a dozen Territories?without an immediate internal danger and without a foreign foe?and the Fourth of July that finds us thus is certainly the most truly glorious the nation i has ever known. The Coal Trai.e?A Curious Pp.ooi.a^ia' thin.?The Miner*' 'ournal (coal monopolists' ' organ in Pennsylvania) addressee a proclamation "to the press abroad," declaring that the : supply of coal will be above a million of tons ! more than last year, whether the strikes I continue or not, and advising consumers abroad not to rush into the market and "cause a fluctuation in prices which is not beneficial to, and which in not desired by, the trade." This is very kind advice indeed. Had the neglect of Congress to abolish the duty on coal anything to do with it? "Wind Easterly?Fresh !"?will be a glorious breeze for the international ocean yacht racers to start with. ORK MKRALD, MONDAY. Singular ('oudiict uf C'on<trr?H ?>tt the fti- | <?uip Tax. On tlh? 2 Mb of last month the Senate struck out of Mr. Sherman's Tax-Tariff hill the sec- , tions for continuing the income tax by the J decisive vote of thirty-four yeas to twenty- j three nays. The people in every section of ' the country rejoiced over the death of this inquisitorial, oppressive and corrupting tux. It was a war measure, and the country was glud to see it discontinued after peace had been restored Ave years. No one supposed, after such u vote, that the tax would be revived 1 again or any further action upon it be taken. \I_ C?, ?IL. ? ? ,,f !>,? Conutn *1x1. k) uiTi uirtii, me viiau luau Finance Committee, who had urged the continuance of the tax, admitted, in his remarks in the debate lust Monday, "that he hud no hope the vote of the Senate would be changed." He suggested to Mr. Howe and others who uttempted to waive discussion on the subject "that the question had been decided." But on Friday the advocates of the income tax, under the lead of this same Senator Sherman, took what may be termed a snap judgment over the Senate and restored the tax. There was a great deal of parliamentary filibustering over the question, the majority voting yea at one time and nuy at another. There never was a more singular instance of Congressional inconsistency and indecision. No further amendments being offered to the Tax-Tariff bill, it was reported on Friday from the Committee of the Whole to the Senate, when the amendments were concurred in, except those upon which separate votes were asked. The first of these upon which a sepn-' rate vote was asked was that striking out the income tax sections.' Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts, moved to continue the income tux for two years longer at two and a half per cent, instead of five percent, as it now stands. This motion was negatived by twenty-eight nays to twenty-three yeas. Then the Senate voted * upon the amendment of the Committee of the s Whole striking out the income tux sections, < when the vote stood yeas twenty-three, nays 1 twenty-one. This was regarded a9 u finality. Mr. Sherman then made an argument against sweeping away so many taxes, and urged that the government could not get along unless some of those stricken oflf were retained. Thereupon Mr. Edmunds gave notice that he would move to reconsider the vote striking out the income tax sections. In the evening session Mr. Edmunds brought up his motion to reconsider. This led to some discussion, k.it i;?.,H<r ll... nmnnai/lav t.-nrr,, il.wl t "UL """"J .V .VVV..D.UW The yeas wore twenty-six, nays twenty-five. 1 Mr. Wilson then renewed his amendment to I continue the tax for two years longer at two s and a half per cent. After a lengthy dis- r mission this amendment was agreed to?yeas l twenty-seven, nays twenty-one. The ques- v Lion then being on striking out the sections ( imposing the income tax, as amended by Mr. a Wilson, the Senate refused to strike them out, thus reversing its former actiou. The yeas were twenty-six, nays 22. This shows that the Senate got into a curious muddle over this income tax question. It is not easy to understand all these parliamentary dodges and rules of action; but we suppose the income tax, as far as the vote of the SeDate goes, is to be continued for two years longer, and at a rate of two und a half per cent, iusteadof live per cent. The Senators favoring this unpopular and offensive tax took advantage evidently of a great many of their colleagues being absent to rush through their measure. The vote nun u miiau uuc. iuciu ncic twenty-six Senators absent or not voting, and there were nine 3hort of the number that voted on the I'tth of June for abolishing the tax altogether. This conduct?this snap judgment and filibustering? on the part of Senators is discreditable to that body. Mr. Sherman himself must be surprised at the success of his management of this affair; for he declared only a few hours before that the question had been decided and that he had no hope the vote of the Senate abolishing the tax would be changed. However, the House of Kepresentatives may still refuse to concur in the action of tho Senate, and may let this abominable tax die a natural death. If the members have any regard for their popularity and the wishes of the people they will do so. i They have only to notice the unanimous approval of the first action of the Senate in abolishing the tax by the press of all parties and shades of opinion, and the general gratification it gave to the public, to guido them in this matter. Mr. Sherman's pretence, that this tax is needed for tho support of the government, is absurd. With all the taxes reduced or taken off by the Tax-Tariff bill thero will be still an enormous surplus income. Even with the abolishment of tho income tax as well the revenue would be quite largo enough, or more than enough, for the current expenses of the government and for a good round sum to be applied to the liquidation of the debt. Wo hope the House will refuse to concur in the action of the Senate 011 the income tax. The Wheat Citor?Good Rki'oicth.?From Virginia to Georgia we have reports of an excellent wheat crop; from East Tennessee we learn that the harvesting has been going on for some time in all the counties; that some little smut is reported (indicating ail abundance of rain lor the growing corn crop), and that the heavy wheat is considerably tangled in some places, but that "the yield will be tremendous." In Virginia the crop is so largo that the farmers are afraid that they will hardly get a compensating price for it. But they may dismiss all such apprehensions. The European crop, doubtless, will this year be leas than the average yield, and our sur- | plus, in making up this European deficiency, j will give a fair compensation to our wheat growers, and help us very much in meeting our ' purchases of European goods and the interest on government bonds held over the water, j At the same time, looking to our great body 1 of bread consumers, we rejoice that our ' I whoat crop this year will be large enough to , meet all foreign demands, without giving to j the''bulls" of our home markets any chance 1 for a corner on wheat. Let the people rejoice! ; The Missmsim Rivrr at iast accounts was , still rising rapidly. Look out for rapid steam- I boat "risings" of a different sort during th* , k racing fever. I JlfLY 4. 1870.?TI'IPLK Church Mervioea Ycaterdar* It is true that wo hare no national Church, but this fact does not prevent all the preuchers from being exceedingly patriotic. Yesterday reltiion aided in glorifying the noble bird of freedom, und in the sermons was said a great deal which the mere orator of to day would hardly have thought of saying. It is, indeed, I i/ratifVinir tn i%?H<?i*t nn thin Fourth of .lulv that but for American independence Christianity would, by this time, have been almost lost to the world. Not that any clergyman yesterday said It would, for none did, that we are aware of. But there was something in the manner in which they connected the anniversary of our independence with religion which suggested the idea that this republic was made specially to save Christianity from utter ruin. Dr. Chapin. at the Church of the Divine Paternity ; Rev. Mr. Smyth, at the American Free Presbyteriau church, and Mr. Swift, at the Attorney street Methodist church, eloquently iilated upon the glories associated with this nemorable day and showed whereiu they are connected with divine glories. But it was at Hartford, at the Park Coiigregutioual church, that the most remarkable sermon of the day was delivered. The clergyman, Mr. Burton, Is a relative of Henry Ward Beecher, and his discourse was as original, not to say as startling, an anything the uposlle of Plymouth church ever delivered. Whether it was that the presence of President Grant in his church flurried Mr. Burton we regret our inability to state. It is certain, however, that the reverend gentleman, if we may judge by his sermon, was considerably flustered. He opened by inviting his congregation to "ascend into the upper air," doubtless in a balloon, and they would nee "an uproar' v. herever they looked. Not only on the Fare of the earth does this uproarious state of things exist. "Fly out beyond the stars." ?aid Mr. Burton, "and you'll And realms and spheres of uproar ; or go straight into Ihe solid globe, and from its rind to core of (Ire, ihe whole way, there are signs that even the ivhole world does not escape.'' This is very interesting intelligence, and we leeply regret the certainty of no living person loing as Mr. Burton advised, if even we .ould (ly, to get Beyond the stars would involve a journey of some millions of miles. ,vith no means of carrying an adequate sup>ly of provisions; and as for going straight nto the solid globe, we decline the trip at present. This universal uproar the clergyman teemed to be personally aware of, for he even issured his hearers that the "infinitely steadast nature" of God is moved by it, although le did not explain how anything "infinitely iteudfaat" could be moved at all. Furtliernore, Mr. Burton asserted that "there is a mrtnership of heaven, earth and hell" (limited, re suppose), and thut a "general Bensation'' doubtless President Grant's presence) shocked 11. It was gratifying to learn from the ireaeher that all this discord is to cease. "Hisorical investigation," said he, "shows the lecessity of a readjustment," and lie proceeded o explain how tilings are to be readjusted. It nay be that after hearing this sermon Presilent Giant enjoyed his dinner ; but if he did t was due solely to his being a soldier, and lays much for his digestion. After reading Mr. Burton's sermon all he others delivered yesterday appear ame and commonplace, excepting that of [Jishop Snow, who, as the only true prophet, predicted all sorts of woes. At Mohawk Hall Dr. Boone gave the Pope and CatholiMsin a raking. Of the others that of father McSweeney, at St. Stephen's Roman Jatholic church, on the "Apostles as Fishers jf Men;" of T)r. Deems, at the Church of the An<l El.ikn. LCf ~>ir*Ug??I B9 UUU i iHiiri I\U.ll ilUJi O, (H I'atrick's Cathedral, will be found full of inerest and rtdigious instruction. In Brooklyn ,he Sabbath discourses were as good as usual. The absonce of Mr. Beecher from the city iept a large number of his congregation away rom Plymouth Church, they not caring so much to worship God as to hear their pastor ;>reach. Some of them did go to the taberlaele, but rather rudely left before the prayers vere finished and a reverend editor could H'gin a very learned and very dull discourse, in the matter of attendance none of the churches were crowded, aud even at the watering places it was apparent that the season of summer religion had been checked by the sudden change of the weather. We hope to make a better record of next Sunday's churches. The Smtillpox in ParU^Aiiierieau Ab wnteetain in Europe. We are sorry to hear that there Is no apparent diminution of the smallpox in Paris. It has been prevailing there as a sort of epidemic, and the Paris comic papers have found in the ruling passion of the citizens for vaccination frequent subjects for amusing caricatures. Ono thing, however, will be apt to follow these reports of the continuance of this loathsome disease in the gay French capital? to wit, a reduction this year of the usual hoavy American summer migration to Europe, for f aria is tue gratiu oojeci anu centre 01 an uie hopes and aspirations of our young moths and butterflies of fashion, who find life at home too slow, too monotonous and too precise to satisfy any but "old fogies." How many millions of American money are thus yearly squandered abroad we have no means of ascertaining; but we dare say that the sum of twenty-five millions, exclusive of the passage money of the European steamers, is within the mark. We have here the beginning of that absenteeism which has been the ruin of Ireland and which is yearly increasing the pauperism of England. But how are we to remedy it? Only by making the attractions of our own country, even to summer tourists, equal to those of Europe, and by making the city of New York, which we can make, as attractive as Paris. Thus a hundred millions, yea, five hundred millious, as we go on. to five millions of people, expended in beautifying this flity, will in the ^o.<ig run be the most profitable investment that can be made for the people of this island, and so in proportion to its importance with every place of any consequence throughout the United States. Louis Napoleon, understanding this secret, has made the four quarters of the globe tributary to the attractions of Paris, and so w ith a tithe of his outlays wisely applied we can make New York !u its *ttracUv?neaa the peer of Paru SHEET. Hot I v In and Brazil?Their Joint Pr<wre??Iyo KHorti on tlif Anin/.on. We publish to-day an interesting account of the gigantic operations undertaken by the National Bolivian Nuvigution Company, just organized in this city under a charter lately granted by the United States Congress. The company has a no less object than the turning of the commerce of nearly the whole of Bolivia I M t.-i_ -r u _i? .1,. A an**# mr uiiii iinn ui wir wunu via uic river. The foundations of the whole enterprise have been laid in South America within the last year and a half. Colonel George B. Church is at the head of the company, and the governments of Bolivia and Brazil havo entered heartily into his plans. The former, looking to an early development of her vast, fertile and well populated territory, has granted to him concessions commensurate with the great works to be carried forward; the latter, such privileges as will enable him to span the rapids of the Madeira with n railway one hundred and seventy milos in length. For all these works the necessary capital is pledged in Europe, and such is the careful and solid basis upon which the whole enterprise rests that we may soon expect to see it in full operation. This is the first great step towards the development of the largest river basin on the globe. The commercial world appears to have ignored heretofore the fact that Bolivia, at the headwaters of the main branch of the Amazon, contains five-sixths of the entire population of the Amazon valley; that they occupy the healthiest, most productive and richest slope of the Andes; that their natural Qutlet is down the Amazon to the Atlantic; that they have heretofore only been able to force a small inulebaclc trade with the world, at an immense cost, via the Andean passes, nearly 15,000 feet high. Next to Brazil Bolivia is the most populous State of South America. Within her borders are found the great remnant of the Inca race, which once extended its boundaries over a lino of thirty-Qve degrees of latitude and from the Pacific coast to the present frontier of Brazil. The world has heretofore been almost careless of the existence of Bolivia, from the fact that she has been hidden behind the Andes and had no contact with the Atlantic. It now speaks well for her statesmen that they make a bold push eastward to remind the nations of their existence, and pour their unrivalled agricultural and mineral resources into the channels of commerce. Bolivia, only twenty-five days distant by steam from Europe and the United States, should add largely to the riches of the nations trading with her. It is not much to predict that instead of her 000,000 annual importation she will, inside of ten years, import 000,000 of values, while the exports of her rare products will give a balance of trade in her favor, instead of being against her, as it is to-day. It is seldom in the history of the world that it falls to the lot of one company to undertake almost the entire commercial development of a nation?few geographical positions admit of it ; few minds are daring enough to grapple with all the elAnents of such a problem, and furnish the patience and energy for its successful solution. Two governments opposite in politics, and heretofore opposing in interests, have had to be dealt with, and yet the veryi ample concessions made by empire and republic prove how delicately and well the enterprise has been managed. The granting of a charter from our general government was scarcely less important, and under it the National Bolivian Navigation Company has a broad field for operations. Brazil has shown great wisdom in settling her boundary line question with Bolivia and cordially co-operatine in the opening of Bolivia as well as her own vast province of Mato Grosso. It appears that Bolivia can furnish nearly all the cereals and animal food required for consumption in the Lower Amazon. Aside from this, the interests of the two countries will he one instead of being antagonistic, as heretofore. Again, the commerce of | three millions of energetic people pouring through the Amazon must cause great prozressive changes in the lower valley itself, enriching tho empire and adding largely to its wealth and importance. Peru, recognizing the vast wnallh of Bolivia, is spending fifty millions of dollars in pushing a railway across the Andes to its northwestern frontier on Lake Tittcaca. The Argentine Central Railway is to he extended several hundred miles northward to tap its southern border. These two great enterprises are wisely planned, and must give great results. There appears to be a rivalry existing as to whether Bolivian commerce shall flow through Peru, the Argentine Republic or Brazil. A glance at the map shows that Brazil has the geographical advantage over her neighbors ; for, by the way of the Amazon and the three thousand miles of navigable Bolivian rivers, the heart ol the country will be tapped in all directions. Tna Ice Monopolists.?The combination of the ice companies of this city (suggested, no doubt, by the extraordinary demands upor them during the late "heated term"; and th< fearfully high prices?three times the price ol last summer?resulting for the article, hat created something of a panic among the ic< consumers of the city and its suburbs, and the universal cry is, "what are we to do?" Th< only practical plan of relief we can suggest is to bring in a lot of thoso ice making machinewhich are used so successfully in the produc tion of cheap ice in New Orleans, or to get u| a combination of citizen* and send a ship o two to Boston or Maine for a cargo or two o ice. Short of soma such experiment we set no way of relief to our ice consumers. Unti they take the practical remedy suggested infci their own hands they are completely at tin mercy of our ice monopolists, and the mor you scold them the more they will laugh a you, while coolly informing you that "if yoi can't pay our price you can't bare the ice." Thb New Judiciary.?The new Court c Appeals of this State will hold Its first meetin to-day in Albany. It is conceded on all hands b all parties that this, the highest judicial tribu nal in the State, is composed of men in whoi the people can place the utmost confidence fc honor, integrity, learning and expertenc* The Commissioner of Appeals will decid causes pending in the Court of Appeals on tb i 1st of July, 1869, and thus give the now cou almost a clean calendar to eater upon tc da/. 1 Tite Old World Ah It la?Its Raytlliia, Keliuion, Suilerinti* and Crlae. The bj> >cial correspondence from Europe hy mail which is published in our columns to-<luy embraces a very varied, interesting and roally imnortant itotail nf Hi?? iiroirr?>HH of events id the Old World to tho '24th of June. Napoleon was convalescent and about to proceed from the Tuileries to St. Cloud so as to enjoy a move complete rest, and thus tone up his system more effectually. Paris was dull; really wanting in sensations. The Prince o( Wales, with the leading members of tho British aristocracy, enjoyed the gport of pigeon shooting on an extensive and right royal scale at Hurlingham. The place, the scenes which were witnessed on the way to it from London, as well as th? manner of couduct of the pastime aro described by one of our special writers. The report of the condition of the poor birds at the close will certainly lead to the inferences and query:?Does pigeon shooting as conducted at Hurlingham tend to elevate the humanities; is the sport of pigeou shooting good everyday practice for the f\?ture head, or Pontiff of a vast Christian Church? From St. Petersburg we have a special letter describing the interior of the great National Exhibition Building in the Russian capital, its management, its products, classification and ornamentation. The work, as it is set forth by our writer, affords solid grounds for the hope that tbe mighty empire of the Czars will at no distant day be carried?as was anticipated lately in our columns?from out of the spherd of the desolating sweep of the sword of war and placed within the hijjh and encrowning and consoling field of art, iudustry, material production and general progress. Ireland speaks again of British coercion, of her visitors from abroad being annoyed and frightened away by the police, of capital and muscle driven and exiled from her soil and of the want which dwells "on her frccdoraless crags, extending its steps to hur desolate shore." England was deeply agitated on the subject of the national moralities. Assuming himsolf to ba almost perfect, "past all parallel" in hia social condition, Jolm Hull is just now standing aghast at the recent police discoveries of tha "female masqueraders" and the existence of a < regularly organized system of baby poisoning for pay, the production of an extensive correspondence by letters from many parts of the country with tho alleged poisoner?who hai over half a dozen aliases?and tho digging up of the dead bodies of some of the little ones in and around London. John is ? really horrified. He has his hand* stuck down to the very utmost depths of his breeches pockets, his hair on end, and is sorely perplexed, accusing himself almost ol being quite as bad, if not worse, than the Asiatics or Africans whom he has been so anxious to convert t.o his own system of Christianity, or as the Americau "Salwanners"? according to John Willett's pronunciation in Dickens' "Barnaby Rudge"?whom he was ?o anxious to aid during the war of the rebellion against the Union. In such mental straits Mr. Bull is looking for comfort to "Lothair" on the one hand, and to Rome on the other. He is likely to return to first principles either by the route of the Jordan or the Via Sacra of the Eternal City. A London Israelite writer pitches into Blacku>ooil'$ Magazine again au i fiercely, for its assault on "Lothair" while th? religious movement looking to a reunion of Christendom under Papal auspices is iu active Drotrress in the British metropolis. So does the Old World move, as described by our special writers, and as it keeps moving and still "goes round" we do not despair of its peoples coming right in the end. The Negro and the Demur ratio Vote in (lie South. Mr. Edward A. Pollard, a bitter rebel, who edited a leading paper in Richmond during the war, publishes an address to his negro fellow citizens of the South, giving them some reasons why they should vote with the conservative party. Mr. Pollard, like Wade Hampton, comprehended at an early moment how necessary it was to conciliate the negro vote, and in his present address he lays the matter quite clearly and quite flatteringly before his audience. He makes several new, points. lie claims that the gratitude of the freedmen for 4 their release from slavery should naturally be f directed towards the Southern people, who suffered by their emancipation, rather than , towards the Northern people, who gained | , by it. The Southern people, he says, have f lost two thousand million dollars by your \ emancipation. Would the North have paid as J , much to set you free ? If it would, why did it | not do so long before the war? These are Mr. ' , Pollard's weakest arguments, and we must i nflv thni nlfliniiirh hv ft artful / I blending of puzzling statistics and abstruse logic to bother mediocre comprehensions Into acceptance, they are weak enough. Other arguments which he makes are new and strong. For instance, he shows that the negro is not wanted among the laboring classes in the North, and that he is tabooed among the trades unions, while in the South he is the main dependence for labor. The question of party does not affect his rights, but he must not expect to receive favors from Southern men whom he abuses while in company with his Northern friends. In short, he w&nks the negro to set his face against Northern agitators and to join heartily with his old master. The Southern democracy should have presented these arguments to the negro before.
