Black Republican arguments.

There is no honesty in the arguments OF
the Black Republican party. Their writer's
are rabid, and in their wild antics, they pay
as little regard for truth in their political
reasoning as the founders of their party
the Beechers. the Gerret Smiths, the Abbey
kellys, and Birneys. The formation of
their party, seems to have relieved them of
all moral restraint, whatever, and they
gambol in the realms o. fancy, with a de-
light that is only experienced by the ire
sponsible and thoughtless, or by the hard
ened and depraved. Here in California,
their course pcrtakes more of the latter
than of the former.
OF this character are the arguments of
the Black Republican organ of San Fran
cisco, when it asserts that the Democracy
have allied themselves "to the modern idea
of slave e1tension"-aud that the organiza-
tion of the Democratic party ''is based solely
upon the debasement of labor" These as
sertions, wild as they are, they throw into
the scale, in opposition to nearly 80 years Of
experience in governmental affairs, and ex-
pect them to weigh down all opposition.
They seem to forget that the people them
selves have erected and controlled the gov
ernment; and have chosen the democ, atic
party as the medium through which they
have effected their progress in civilization
and all that makes nation truly great
The Black Republican idea of liberty ap-
pears to be confined to the relation existing
between master and servant, and their ef
forts to amcliorate the condition of the
great family of man, are confined exclusively
to the descendants of Ham. In order to
accommodate them, we will confine our at
fentien for a moment 10 the Black Republi |
can standard of liberty, in order to show that
the policy of the Democratic party on the |
subject of slavery, is the policy not only of
Justice, but of freedom; is the only policy I
by which slavery has been abolished in this
country. and the only policy by which its
abolition can be reasonably expected here
after. To do this it is OILY necessary for the
public to remember that slaxesy sermeris !
existed in the N. England and the northern
States, and notwiths stahding the Democracy
have had almost uninterrupted control Of
the country, it has E9eh abolished In all !
those States. Does this look as thodsh the |
mission Of the Democratic party was to de- |
base labor
