Washington, D. C., Oct. 19, 1874.
Dear Era : I.et uie say a word through j
your columns to some of my friends.
Tiiere are being held over the country?
north, south, east, and west?conventions
for the consideration of subjects intimately
connected with the iuteresls of our people in
the l uited States ; and doubtless, this winter
will find Cucli a gathering here at the nation's
capital.
Now, dear brethren, who propose to meet
in convention, wlicu you .lo so, let me beg of
you to forbear from indulging at times iu the
expression of little personal animosities; for
the sake of the great and good cause in view,
rise above self; personal bickerings do no
good; they only tend to divert attention
from the main snliier-t ami IibISHIa
engage iu them.
I mean uo reflection u)m>u (lie conventions
recently held out of the city, but remembering
with lain and mortification little personal
matters that have disgraced those held in !
this city iu times past, 1 drop a line fur the i
consideration of my friends who may take |
. p ut iu such meetings in the future.
Faithfully, your friend,
Heart's Ease.
Tlie CoitVfiillon him! fit II Itiglils.
We clip the following from the Boston
H'ttlly Journal and are happy to notice so j
much interest evinced by our Xorthern friends
for the w elfare of the colored people :
in the well-considered and effective speech
which Mr. Dawes made in accepting the
chairmanship of the Republican Convention
at Worcester, there were nfany statements
of principle so clearly and tersely put that
they might well be taken for liepublican mottoes,
and emblazoned ou the standards o?
the party. Chief among them we rank his
enunciation of the duty of Republicans, and
especially of Massachusetts Kepublicans,
with regard to the Civil (lights bill. " Massachusetts,"
said Mr. Dawes, " has a sacred
legacy iu the civil rights hill which she cannot
barter away, nor entrust to any unfriendly
keeping." To this declaration of its pre-iding
oflicer the Convention a little later
gave an emphatic indorsement by passing a ]
i< siiiiui >u condemning me outrages perpetrated
by the White Leaguers of the South, and
t ailing for the amplest protection of each individual
in his civil rights and privileges as
the tirst duty of national government. There
can be no mistaking the position of Massachusetts
Republicans on this most important
question, aud the men who represent us in
either branch of Congress will be false to the
principles of the party if thev fail to give
their inlluence unreservedly to the passage
??f the Civil Rights hill. That bill is, as Mr.
i>awes said, peculiarly the legacy of Massachusetts
; it is the seal of the work doDe by
this Commonwealth during the long agitation
against slavery, and in the trying years of
the war ; it is the product of the sagacity,
the patriotism, the humanity of the distiu- !
guished Senator who bore so active and so
unscltbli a part in that struggle ; and it is tbe j
ure without whose enactment tliera
that the work accomplished by the
in party may sometime be over1
ne events now transpiring in the South,
in spite of the elforls made to falsify or con
eal tlieni, reveal a condition of affairs which
recalls the palmiest days of Ku-Kluxism.
The same anonymous threats ; the same assaults
by gangs of masked men; the same
whippings, shootings, hangings aud house
burnings are reported now, daily, as iu the
days before the National Government laid
its' strong bauds upon the Ku-Klux. The
\V bite Leagues are nothing less than the old
Ku-Klux Klans revived and rechristened.
More moderate and covert in their operations
at first, they have grown bolder as they
have jierfected their organization aud equipment;
aud iu Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee,
and other of the Southern States they
.....L-/? ...? .?? ?!.,?;.. .............. J-:

away white Republicans and intimidate the
blacks. We make no reference now to the
multitudious reports of outrages which come
up from every portion of the South, hut whic' '
take a form so vague that the Democrat:'' 1
press tinds it convenient to wave thein away
as myths. We refer to such deeds as the 1
massacre of white Republicans at Coushatta; .
the assassination of the colored mail agent 1
in Alabama; the atrocious murder of a young .
colored school teacher and the slaughter in '
cold blood of ten or a dozen helpless colored
prisoners in Tennessee. These are facta so 1
patent and so well known that the Northern
Democratic press cannot deny them, or give :
them the appearance of " electioneering
tricks." We refer, further, to the tone of 1
the Southern Democratic press, which calls [
tor just such outrages as these, and when
they are committed, applauds them aud 1
shields their perpetrators.
Such a condition of affairs demonstrates,
plainly enough, that the Republican party 1
has not yet fulfilled its mission. There is
work before it hardly less imporlaut than
that already doue, aud uuless the ueiv duties
are met manfully it is possible that the results
already obtained may count for nothing.
Such considerations may well suffice to
silence all local differences and to unite all
the members of the porty in the great work
that lies before it. It is said that the party
lines are growing wavy ; that party principles
are indistinct; and that there is a total
lack of issues ou which to keep up the old
party organizations. Here, however, we
hive an issue, plain, distinct and unmistakable
; the Republican party of Massachusetts,
the Republican party of the United
States, demands civil rights for all citizens,
black and white, and promises protection
and safety to all.

STOKER COLLEGE,
int/k a Jt'ormat Department,
IS located at Harper's Ferry, West Virginia.
It was first opened in October, 1897, and has
ever since been crowded with young men and
women eager for an education. It originated in
a proposal of John Storer, of Maine, a Congregational
brother; to give $10,000 to found a
Normal College at the South, on condition that
others contributed a like sum to the same purpose,
and no distinction on account of race or
color. A few Christian men in Western New
York collected the required amount, (with a
little aid from friends in New England, and the
School became a fact.
Through the influence of the late Senator
Fessenden, of Maine, Senator (now Vice President)
Wi'son, of Massachusetts, General Garfield,
of Ohio, and others, Congress donated the
four large brick dwelling houses, and the land
on which they stand, situated on the heights
above the ferry, to the Trustees of the College.
The buildings had been riddled by shot and
shell ; but, by the aid of contributions from the
I'reedman's Bureau and from generous friends
at the North, they were repaired, and another
large building erected. Into these buildings
about two hundred young people are crowded
every term, and trained for teaching and other
positions of usefulness.
Two pressing necessities now confront those
having this work in hand?a Girl's Boarding
Hall, and an Endowment. The former is an
immediate necessity ; it is impossible to meet
the wants of the large number of girls who seek
to qualify themselves for teaching, without itThere
is no other School above a Primary in
grade in all West Virginia, Western Maryland,
and Southern Pennsylvania, which admits Colored
youth, and the number who flock to this
School far exceeds the accommodations provided.
It is exceedingly hard to turn tnem
away, and force them to remain in ignorance,
when they are so eager to learn.
Fifty -Tho'jLS and (DA Lars art jlieitl
to erect and furnish a suitable Girl's Hall. The
foundations have been laid, in faith, and the
wnllii will it ft tin an fust on tliA T.nr.l'a noniilp
furnish the funds, and no faster. It is a work
for the Lord's poor, unsectarian in character,
of great moment, and very promising. We ap
peal to friends of humanity for help.
Any desired information in regard to the
School may be had by addressing Hon. J. T.
Hoke, New Creek, West Virginia ; Hon. Henry
Wilson, Vice President United States; Hon.
James A. Garfield, M. C. from Ohio ; Hon.

New York Tribune.
1874.
Now, as heretofore, TnK Tribune strives to
be first ot all and nre-eminently a news paper.
France a Republic?England and Germany
gradually permeated with Republican ideas? ,
Spain swaying in the nerveless grasp of a ruler
too good for a King and too weak for a Renub
lican, who is unable to govern the great island '
that filocks the entrance to our Gulf of Mexico,
and equally unable to give it up?the German- {
speaking peoples agitated by a new Protestantism,
separating from the See of Rome on the 8
dogma of Papal Infallibility and assuming to 8
recognize the "'Old Catholics"?the whole Con- '
tinent pervaded by the intellectual ferment that 1
comes of the conflict between old ideas, philo- c
sophical, theological, material, and the advances '
of Physical Science?Russia and Great Britain c
running a race for the final gains that shall
determine Asiatic supremacy?China seeming i
ready to abandon her advances and reclose her t
half opened gates?Japan abolishing feudalism t
and inviting Western civilization to irradiate c
Western commerce to enrich her long-hidden ?
empire?such are phases of the news from abroad
which the mails over all Continents and the r
wires unuer an oeas nre uiiiiv uearuig iu us. r
With ahle and trusted Correspondents in the
leading capitals, and wherever great changes arc
in progress, The Tribune aims, at whatever J
cost, to lay before" its readers the most prompt, j
complete, and popular presentment of these fl
diverse and conflicting movements?through all "r
of which, as it fondly trusts, the toiling masses ,
are everywhere struggling up toward larger re- c
cognition and a brighter future.
At home the struggle for Freedom seems over |'
The last slave has long been a citizen ; the last r
opposition to emancipation, enfranchisement f
equal civil rights, has been formally abandoned v
No party, North or South, longer disputes the ]
result pf the War for the Union; all declare that ]
these results must never be undone; and with ?
a whole people thu9 united on the grand plat- t
form of All Rights for All, whereto our bloody
struggle, and the prolonged civil contests that
followed, have led us, the Republic closes the '
records of the hitter, hateful Past, and turn '
peacefully, hopefully, tq the less alarming be J1
cause less vital problems of the Future. To '
whatever may elucidate the general discussion 1
or action on these, The Tribune gives amplest
space and most impartial record. Whatever a
parties may propose, whatever political leaders a
may say, whatever officers may do, is fairly set c
down in its columns, whether this news helps or 0
hinders its own views. Its readers have the
right to an honest statement of the facts : and v
this they always get. "
But as to its own political principles, The K
Tribune is of course, hereafter as heretofore,
the champion of Equal Rights, irrespective of P
Race, Nativity, or Color. It stands inflexibly "
by the Amendments for the permanent security ?
of those Rights, which have been solemnly in- *'
corporated oy the People, in the Constitution of a
Ike Ulilted States. Independent ot all political I ?
parties, it endeavors to treat them aij with judicial
fairness. It labors to purify the adininis- ^
tration of Government, National, State, and ''
Municipal, and whenever those in authority,
whether in National, State, or Municipal affairs
take the lead in this work, it will therein give
them its cordial support. But it can never be
the servitor of any political party ; nor will it '
surrender or even waive its right to criticise ana
condemn what i3 wrong, and commend what is
fight in the actiou of any parties or of any pub- ~
lie men.
Now, as always, The Tribcse labors with all
its heart fop the promotion of the grer.t ma- f
terial interests of the country. The progress
of Invention and of Labor-Saving, the development
of our resources, the preservation of our
Land for the Landless and its rapid subjugation
to human wants, the utilization of our vast
underlying Ores, the extension of the facilities
for bringing Producer and Consumer nearer to- E
gelher?whatever tends to swell the ranks, in- ci
crease the knowledge and better the condition
of those devoted to Productive Industry finds l1
mention and encouragement in our columns.
The Weekly Tribune, now more than thirty >,
years old, has endeavored to keep up with the
progress of the age in improvement and in enterprise.
It devotes a large share of its col- i
umns to Agriculture as the most essential and j r
general of human pursuits. It employs the j ,
ablest and most successful cultivators to set i "
forth in brief, clear essays their practical views ,
of the Farmer's work. It reports public dis- '
cussions which elucidate that work; gathers!
from every source agricultural news, the re- |
ports of the latest experiments, the stories of | c'
the latest successes and failures, and whatever j ]>
may tend at once to better Agriculture, and to |
commend it as the first and most important of I
progressive Arts, based on natural science. I
The Weeki.y Tribune appeals also to Teach- i
ers, Students, and persons of inquiring minds, I
by the character of its Literary contents, which |
include reviews of all the works proceeding j
from the master mir,d3 of tl,e Ola or New
World, with liberal extracts from those of
especial interest. Imaginative Literature also
claims attention, but in a subordina'e degree.
''Home Interests" are discussed weekly by a
lady specially qualified to instruct and interest
her own sex, and the younger portion of the
other. No column is more eagerly sought or
perused with greater advantage and profit than
hers. The News of the Day, elucidated by
brief comments, is so condensed that no
render can deem it diffuse, while given sufficiently
in detail to satisfy the wants of the
average reader. Selections are regularly made
from the extensive Correspondents of The
Daily Tribune from every country, and its
ediioriaL of more permanent value are here
reproduced. In short, The \\ ekki.y Tribune j;
commends itself to Millions by ministeriug to i
their intellectual wants more fully than they
are met by any other journal, while its regular f
reports of the Cattle, Country Produce, and
other Markets, will of themselves save the
farmer who regularly notes them far more than
his journal'a price. 1
For the family circle of the educated farmer t
or artisan, The Weekly Tribune has no su- c
perior, as is proved by the hundreds of thousands
who, having read it from childhood, still f
cherish and enjoy it in the prime and on the t
down hill of life. We respectfully urge those (
who know its worth to commend The Weekly ?
Tribune to their friends and neighbors, and we
proffer it to clubs at prices which barely pay the
cost of paper and presswork.

iV'arren county?that of a bold, outspoken, unthangable
Republican paper. It will boldly defend
all that is right, and unhesitatingly denounce
til that is wrong. It will never resort to the
ilang so generally used by the opposition press,
icitner will it condemn any man unless it has inlisputable
evidence. It will advocate the equal
rivil and political rights before the law, but nevir
intrude upon the social prerogatives of any
ilass. In
POLITICB

he principles and objects of the Republican pary
are in accordance with the Declaration of Inlependenee
and the Constitution of the United
bates.

lot of a decided political nature, but that will
edound to the benetit of the entire people ot

of Common Schools, now in its infancy in
iur State, will do more to bring about the degree
if harmony and concord so devoutly wished for
ly a majority of our citizens, than any other
nedium we know of. And when neat and coinortable
School houses adorn every hill side,
alley, and cross road in our State, with a good,
ive and competent teacher in each one, whose
ahors will be shared by all our people, then,
ind not tilj then, will our State be marching on
hu high road to prosperity and civilization.

ME FARMER AMU LABORER.
t wishes :o see them raised to a higher standard
il civilization and sacioty. The Laborer must
ie the equal of the capitalist and the rights of
he Farmer must be protected.
The capitalist and laborer are more widely srprated
in this State than any other of the Union,
ml the sooner they are brought together, and
ach feel that he is eutirely dependent on the
ther, the better it will be lor botb.

THE ALDIXE, while issued with all the
regularity, has none of tho temporary or
timely interest characteristic of ordinary
periodicals. It is an elegant miscellany of he
pure, light and graceful literature; and a col- an
lection of pictures, the rarest specimens of
artistic skill, iu black and white. Although f?,
each succeeding number affords a fresh pleas- i ^
of THE ALPINE will be most appreciated I
after it has been bound up at the close of the j to
year. While other publications may claim ! qa
superior cheapness, as compared with rivals
of a similar class, THE A1,DINE is a unique ' Btj|
and original conception?alone and un- j ,
approached?absolutely without competition . Cl"
in price or character. The possessor of a
complete volume cannot duplicate the quanti- ahl
ty of titie paper and engravings in any other Ho
shape or number of volumes for ten times its ijg
cost; and then, there ate the chromos, besides nf
&rYf mvAtrmmi*
The illustrations of THE ALIHSE have 1
won a world-wide reputation, and in the art ar
centres of Europe it is an admittoil fact that ol*
its wood cuts are examples of the highest '
perfection ever attained. The common giv
prejudice in favor of "steel plates," is rapid- usl
ly yielding to a more educated and discriminating
taste which recognizes the advantages
of superior arfstie quality with greater facility
of production. The wood-cuts of THE KIS
ALPINE possess all the delicacy and elaborate
finish of the most costly steel plato, ml
while they afford a better rendering of the .?
artist's original.
To fully realize the wonderful work which
THE ALPINE is doing for the cause of art
culture in America, it is only necessary to
consider the cost to the people of any other AT
deseut representations of the productions of j?
great painters. *"
In addition to designs by tho members of
the National Academy, and other noted
American artists, THE ALPINE will reproduce
examples of tho best foreign 1
masters, selected with a view to the highest faj,
artistic success and greatest general interest.
Thus the subscriber to TH,E ALPINE will, .
at a trifling cost, enjoy In his own home the j ,rt"
pleasures and refining influences of true art. | zee

Every subscriber to TilF, AID.IXE fbr the j|ai
year 1874 will receive a pair of chroinos. ,
The original pictures weie painted in oil for fnc
the publishers of THE ALDIXE, by Thomas ins
Moran, whose great Colorado picture was 4
purchased by Congress for ten thousand dol- are
lars. The subjects were chosen to represent; ;na
"The East " and " The West." Ou? is a ,iie
view in The White Mountains, New Hampshire;
the other gives The Clid's of Green nnc
ltiver, Wyoming Territory. The diiferenee ulu
in t'uo nature of the scenes themselves is a cob
pleasing contrast, and affords a good display par
of the artist's scope and coloring. The g,a
chronics are worked from thirty distinct
plates, and are in size (12 x 16) and appearance
exact fac-similes of the originals. The
presentation of a worthy example of Ameri- '
ca's greatest landscape painter to the sub- ten
scribers of THE ALDIXE was a bold but i siui
peculiarly l appy idea, and its successful, ern
realization is attested by the following testi- j jer

EW NATIONAL ERA.
LEWIS II. DOUGLASS, EniTOit.
The Ntw National Kka will partake of a two
I nature?that of an Advocate and an Eduor.
As ati Advocate it will assert and raaini
every right pertaining to the American citi>,
independent of race, color, or accident ol
th. It will demand the recognition of these
hts wherever the Constitution extends or the
tonal ensign waves. As an Educator, it*
umns will be an especial medium for the
ictive diffusion of right principles and moci?
idsd instruction, and for the inculcation t i
ge habits of industry, economy, and self-reice
which conduce to independent manhood,
I give vitality and energy to free government,
uring in return blessings to the governed.
Vhile the editors of the New National Eka
colored men, and the contributors will be
inly colored, yet thecolumns will be open for
discussion of all questions of vital import
:e to the country by any of its citizens. Com
mentions suitable for publication in these
titnus, are solicited from our friends in all
ts of the country, especially in the Southern
tes,
TUE POLITICAL DEPARTMENT.
~pon all questions involving the especial in;?ts
of the colored American citizen, the
pie rule of equal justice for all men will gov- j
the policy of the New National Era. It wiluaud
the recognition of no right for on?
sen which it will not freely accord to every
er. It will oppose any attempt to contci
vileges upon a class, that are withheld from
humblest citizen in the land. It will demand
every citizen equality before the law, and full
itectiua of person and property in every Stale
1 Territory of the National Cnion.
The New National Era will take high ground
on all public questions, and labor to inspire
openness of purpose and encourage unity of
ion, especially among the newly-enfranchised
uple ot the reconstructed States. Rememring
the past history of the Republican party,
d recognizing what it has done for the colored
ople of the nation, the New National Eka
1 give its hearty support to that party without
erve. This pledge of fidelity to the Republii
party is given under the conviction, and
h the assurance, that in the future, as in the
it, that party will be the steadfast and inlh-xible
port of those principles of justice arid liberty
ich have now become a part of the organic law
the land.
THE EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT.
ily education the people of a free Government,
h as ours is intendea to he, are better quali1
to discharge their duties to the State, and
one another. The nation will ever find its
est safeguard in the intelligence of its voting
sscs, and the journal which would promoto
> highest good of government and people
ist lend its energies and its power to the work
educating that people. Especially is the
;ney of the preas needed by that portion of
; people, oofored atid white, who, either :u
very or under the ban of its blighting inences,
have been deprived of the opportune
s enjoyed by their more favored brethren o f
; free States.
TUE INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT.
The industrial interests of the colored people
11 claim and receive a largo share of our at ition.
The New National Era will he made a deable
