PLEASE JUNIOR.
Remarks
We do not know why Junior puts forth
his views respecting California Gold as II
they were original, or IN conflict with some
thing ce had uttered for they certainly are
not We do not believe a region acquired
as California was ever can bless those SD
acquiring it As to Gold, 1T is well enough
in its way but ii our people who have
wandered to California IN search of It could
have been induced 10 devote their energies
at home to the production of Iron instead,
the Country would have been far more pros
porous aud happy than it is.
As to Majoritles, we deem their power
nearly unlimited under our Government,
rhen Mey see tit IN erercDe H. The fact
that an indifferent majority may be over
ruled by a determined minority, proves
nothing to the purpose Suppose party
Of One Hundred Thousand t. be willing to
conccde point which they care little for

writes us that Equal Suffrage prevailed.
The vital question TO be determined Is
this Has the Caucasian or White Race
an essential repugnance to assoclating on
terms of equality and intimacy with the
Ethiopian or Black Race Protracted OBJ
servatlon and an earnest desire to know the
truth have led us to the conviction that
such a repngnance does exist, quite apart
from and independent OF any question OF
Slavery or Anti-Slavery, African equality
or inferiority to Europeans in intellectual
and moral elevation. There are excep-
tons, but they only serve TO establish the
general rule We believe that, if there
never had been slave in America, this
repugnance would nevertheless have exist
ed We find it quite as strong among the
Immigrants of last year, who never saw
slave and never till recently Black person.
as among our citizens Who remember when
New-York vas Slave State. We be-
lieye the time never will come when Blacks
will be generally invited to the Balls, Sol
rees. and Entertainments OF their White
neiohbors of like fortune and general cul-
ture-that the intermarriage Of Whites with
Blacks will always be repulsiye to the feel
ings and tastes OF preponderantly White
community and that the association OF
Blacks with Whites on JurIes, in Military
or Fire Companies, as Judges on the Bench
or Counsel at the Bar, though it may in
| some cases be effected, will never become
general nor permanent, because it goes
against the grain.
All this affords no reason for denying TO
fellow-citizens, no matter of what color,
those Political Franchises and Civil Immu-
mites which are the natural rights Of all
citizens. Our own States refusal Of the
Right Of Suffrage to poor Colored Men Is
palpable violation of the fundamental basis
of our Declaration of Independence. Dus
