An cold Democrat" in YESTERDAYS
Democrat has a sensible and feeling article
on the bill to prevent the immigration of
Tree negroes or mulaltoes into this State,
which, but for the want of room, we
would transfer into our columns. The
editor of the Democrat takes sides in favor
of the bill, and expresses "some surprise
at the opposition 10 that wholesome meas
nre from such source" We have long
since felt convinced that the universal de-
mocracy would some day come to This
point with respect to colored men, and
should not be surprised if Centre or some
other stronghold of locolocoism will one
day furnish a member who will report
bill to strike out the words :" all men are
created free and eqasai' from the Declara-
