Es The Young Democracy of our City held
n General Meeting at Tammany Hall on Friday
evening aud denounced the present Tariff as "od
ous and oppressive resolved that they repudiatc
the whole doctrine of Protection" (which doctrine
the Tammany Democracy in 1919 pronounced not
only Democratic but of vital Importance TO the Ma
tonal independence and prosperity declared our
claim to all Oregon up TO $40 40 unqucstionabe, y
approved the resolutions OF Gen Cass or Gas, and
pledged to the support of War measures "the uni
ted American People, without distinction of party.
Boys this is going beyond your tether.) They
farther declare themselves in favor of various pro-
iects Of State Constitutional Reform, and among
them that OF depriring citizens Of Atrcon descent
of any right Of Suffrage whatccer! We treat our
readers to the logic by which The Progressive De-
mocracy' force the conclusion that part of the ci
zens born and bred on soil ought 10 be deprived
of any voice whatever in directing the Government
which taxes, consirains and hangs them Here it is:
RESOLVED That the distinction established in the pre-.
sent Constitution between People of Color allowing such
them have Property vote and excluding others,
is an antrcpubican distinction. the possession OF
Property is not the OF intelligence OF worth and
that therefore driven TO the alternative OF eX
Guiding a or allowing all these people to voie-ioe are
mos, decidedly Of the opinion thai all should be erclRdd-
We cannot regard them as belonging TO the race to
which the government of this country is committed
that there is natural antipahy between The races,
founded strong natural and physical differences for
bidding social political ama gamaton that the attempt
TO unite the races by constitutional legal provisions
has signay failed in this State already-that copstu
tiona provision, not in accordance with public sen
menI in this respect would again tail IN elevang the
colored race to practical participation in the govern
ment of this STATE and that smost unwisc 10 adopt
constitutional provision which will not in fact be sus
tanned by public sentiment or to attempt to make such
sentiment conform to constitutional provision
We defy the most ,enderhearted skinner OF eels tc
surpass the delicacy OF this operation II is very
naughty say the Youngsters, 10 let Black men vote
when they have Property and exclude them in
other cases; wherefore we insis, on their proscrp
ton altogether Why so? Are they not intell

have nothing to say on these points; but there is
a natural antipGthy jet'ceea the races Well
sirs that If true is good reason why Htite men
should not vote as Blacks. Nay, more: AS it is
NOT the Blacks who feel this an;ipa,hy but the
Whites, il is better reason for excluding the

Mr.. John w. Forney whom The News com
mends as Deputy Surveyor of the Port OF Phila
delphia' was here TO make a speech al this ferc
ciously Anti Tariff meeting, having. as Polk Edi
tor in lS4l, assured the Peunsylvanians that Poll
was good Pro,cctioais,. He told the Democrac,
among other things that
The President had been charged viely. iinpxden,l,
charged with desiring 70 surrender the rights OF ht
American People TO foreign power"
Now if the Presden; has been charged with
any such treason it must be by his supporters
The Wings universally approve his offer 10 divide
Oregon with Grca, Britain, on the parallel of 40
North They consider this offer right and just. Bu
those Loco Focos who pretend TO consider our rsh

unqucs,onable do virtually accuse Mr.. Polk o
desiring to surrender the rights of the American
People to & Foreign Power" They lie in This, as
usual, and we are glad 10 see them 50 pungenty re
buked by Mr.. Forncy.
