PATRIOTIC THOUGHTS WELL EXPRESS- ED BY THE STATESMEN CF OLD. It should be the highest ambi- tion of every American to extend his views beyond himself, and to bear in mind that his conduct will not only effect himself, his country Gnd his immediate prosterity, but hat its influence may be co+xten- sive with the world, and stamp political happiness or misery on ages yet unborn.— Washington. While men perfo:m their social duties faithfully, they do all that the society or the State can with propriety demand or expect.— Washington, It would be peculiary imoroper to omit, in this first official act, my fervent suppliance to that Almighty Being who rules over the universe, who presides in the councils of nations, and whose providential aids can supply every human de- fect, that his benediction may con- secrate to the libertines and happi- ness of the people of the United States, a Government instituted by themselves, * *and may enabie every instrument employed in its administration to execute with suc- cess the functions allotted to his charge.—Washington’s Inaugural Address, April 30th, 1789. There exists in the economy and course of nature an indissoluble union between virtue anu happi- ness, between duty and advantage between the genuine maxins of ap honest and magnanimous policy and the solid rewards of public prosperity and felicity. — Washing- ton’s Inaugural Address. A free people ought not only to be armed but disciplined.—Wash- ington, Knowledge isin every country the surest basis of public happi- ness. ‘Washington. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations in ex- amples of justice and liberality.---- Washington. Religion and morality are the essential pillars ot civil society.—-- Washington. Ihave ever laid it down as an established maxim that every per- sou is (most certainly ought to be) the best judge of what relates to his own interests and concerns.-—- Washington. Little more than common sense with common honesty in the tran- sactions of the community at large would be necessary to make us a great and happy nation.=—Wash- ington. The general prevalence of piety, philanthropy, honesty, industry and economy, seems, in the ordi- bary course of human affairs, par- ticularly necessary for advancing and confirming the happiness of our country.— Washington. This is a rank due tothe United States among nations, which will be withheld, if. not absolutely lost, by the reputation of weakness. If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most pow- erful instruments of our rising pros- perity, it must be known that we are at all times prepared for war. — Washington. Human happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected. Washington. I believe this the strongest Gov- ernment on earth. I believe it the only one where every man, at the call of the law, would fly to the standard of the law, and would meet invasions of the public order as his own personal concern,— Thomas Jefferson. Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever State or persua- sion, religious or political; peace, | commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alli- ances with none * * * freedom of religion ; freedom of the press.-—- Thomas Jeffersou. Agriculture, manufactures, com- werce and navigatiou, the tour pil | lars of our prosperity, are the most thriving when lett free to inlivid-| ual enterprise.——Thomas Jeffer-} son. All will bear in mind this sacred | principle, that though the will of the majority of the majority is in all casses to prevail, that will, to be rightful, must be reasonable, that the minority possess their equal rights, which .equal laws must protect, and to violate which would be oppression.----Thomas Jeffersion. Give me the steady, uniform, un- biased influence of the courts of justice. Give methe steady, nni- form, unshaken security of consti- a freedom.----Alexander Ham ilton. Civil liberty is only national lib- erty, modified and secured by the sanctions of civil society.----Alex- ander Hamilton. Too much power leads to despo- tism, too little leads to anarchy, aud both lead to the ruin of the people. ——Alexander Hamilton. To assist a people in a reasona-| ble and virtuous strnggle for liber- ty already begun, is both justifia- ble and laudable; buat to incite to} revolution * * * is to invade and | endanger the foundation of social transquility. There is no term of reproach orexvcration too strong forso flagitious an attempt—-Al- ander Hamilton. It is too much a part of our tem- per to indulge an overweening se- eurity.---Alexander Hamilton, The politician who loves liberty sees moral and political and reli- gious anarchy with disgust, know ing that it may swallow « p the lib- erty to which heis devoted. He knows that, morality everthrown (and morality must fall with reli- gion), the terrors of despotism can alone curb the impetuous passions of man and confine him within the bounds of social duty.---Alexander Hamilton. —Germantown Independent. oe NEW YORK LETTER. THE UNITED LABOR PARTY. THE NEGROES DUTY FAVORING THE NEGRO NATIONAL LEAGUE. YOUNG COLORED MEN TO. THE FRONT. CAMPAIGN OF 1888. NEGRO POL- Icy. New York, Aug. 22, ’87:.--The recent convention of the United Labor Party in this state, and its prompt repudiation of the Social- ists, means more than is apparent upon the surface. Members of both of the two great parties have much to fearin the rapidly aug- menting third party—Labor. Dis- robed of its past Anarchist aspect, the new organization stands out in bold relief as the inveterate enemy of red-handed Anarchists and howl- ing, mobecratic Socialists. In obedience to the demands of the times, the exigencies of the hour, the third party, born of ne- cessity because of the evils existing in both parties, the pioneers in the ‘*New departure,” have created a thing ——a being---that breathes, that will grow from an infant to a healthy boy that wil. graduate into a power as its manhood approach- es. As a nationality, whose interest it is to look after its own welfare and obey no longer, as in the past, the behests of aristocrats who have given them stones when they asked for bread, promises instead of re- alities and ,theories instead ot practices, it is the duty now of the American Negro to view the new parties in their proper light and discover the advisability of a coa- lition in 1888. The proposed Negro National League is another step in the right direction. _We need a national or- ganization through and by which by force of numbers and concen- tration of purpose we can make ourselves a power. Iam oneofthe young men who are willing to give the so-called old leaders of our race credit for what little they have done; but my fealty to them has been made elastic when I remem- ber that they have, by virtue of their prominence as race leaders and ‘“whippers-in” of the Negroes, been long and well rewarded for their hard(?) task(?) by govern- ment sinecures. The liberation of our future from racial ostracism and deprivations, devolves upon the young colored | men of sterling ability, honesty and | sincerity ; those who will spurn of- | fiees when tendered as bribes, and | praise when itis gilded with deceit. | We have such men ; they will come | | to the front. The contest next year for the | Presidency will be between Cleve- land and Blaine. The question is) apropos as to which of the two will | wid. In 1884, my close profession- | al connection with the Republican National Committee taught me sev- eral things, and among these was political perfidy. I told Senator Chaffee, now dead, of Colorado, that he and the Commfttee with very few individual exceptions were intentionally slaughtering Blaine; the black vote was being ignored ; colored stump orators were not de- sired upon the field of action un- less they gave their services for mere traveling expenses and then they were recalled - upon the slight- est pretext. Will these things oe- cur in 1888? If they do, will Blaine | receive the black vote; and if they do not, will the black man forget how he was mistreated in 1884? These are points worth looking at. The black man is tired of sophis- try; daily he is being more con- vinced of the truth of Wendell Phillips’s advice : If you can’t get your rights from one party, go to another.” The Negro has a hard road to travel. His lack of confidence in himself, treachery one to the other, absence of co-operation and petty jealousies, but makes the road so much the harder to traverse. The Negro has been too much depend- enton his tew white friends; he has forgotten that the reaper Death wields his scythe along the pathway ol life with impartial ae- curacy. The day of Sumner, An- drew, Phillips, Lincoln, Garrison and that class has passed , political mouptebanks are filling their plae- es. The sun is rapidly crossing the line; socially and politically the Democracy is becoming more con- servative to the Negro, and the Ne- gro is susceptible to the influences of any party that will recognize him asa man and a eitizen. The Negro has no time to consider that what is done for him by any party is an act of policy; it is politie for the Negro to get all hecan and as speedily as he can without compro- mising his love of race and dignity of manhood. (These are my views hastily penned, for which the Bex is irre- sponsible.) Howarp L. Surru, NEw YORK. ———a ee BOB. INGERSOLL ON NAPO- LEON. A little while ago I stood by the grave of the old Napoleon—a mag- nificent tomb of gilt and gold, fit almost for a dead deity—and gazed upon the sarcophagus of black Egyptian marble where rests at last the ashes of that restless man. I leaned over the balustrade and thought of the career of the great- est soldier of the modern world. I saw him walking upon the banks ot the Seine, contemplating suicide; I saw him putting down the mob in the streets of Paris. [ saw him at the head of the Army of Italy; I saw him crossing the bridge of Lodi, with the tri-color in his hand ; Isaw him in Egypt in the shadow of the pyramids; I saw him con- quer the Alps and mingle the ea- gles of France with the eagles of the crags. I saw him at Marenge, at Ulm and at Austerlitz; I saw him in Russia, where the infantry of the snow and the cavalry ot the wild blast scattered his legions like Winter’s withered leaves. I saw him at Leipsic in defeat and disaster—driven by a million bayo- nets back upon Paris, clutched like a wild beast, banished to Elba. I saw him escape and retake an em- pire by the force of his genius. I saw lim upon the frightful field of Waterloo, where chance and fate combined to wreck the fortunes of their former king, I saw him at St. Helena, with his hands crossed behind him, gazing out upon the sad and solemn sea. I thought of the orphans and widows he had made, of the tears that bad beeu shed for his glory, and of the only woman who ever loved bim pushed from bis heart by the cold hand of Ambition. And I said [ would rather have been a French peas: ant and worn wooden shoes. I would rather haveé lived in a hat with a vine growing over the door and the grapes growing purple in the kisses of the Autumn sun. I wouid rather have been that poor peasant, with my loving wife by my side, knitting as the sun died out ofthe sky, with my children ap- on my knees and their arms about me. I would rather have been that man and gone down into the tongueless silence of the dreamless dust, than to have been that imperial perso- nator of force and murder kuown as Napoleou the Great. And so I would, ten thousand times.—[Beb Ingersoll, }
