From the Concord Patriot
A Raunlfinn Qnnfimanl

We think We have never heard or read
Of public man, upon public oc-
casion, which impressed us so much by It's
grossness, its beastiality, as that contained in
the reply recently made by Ma. Banks, Of
Massachusetts,, in the House OF Representa-
tives, TO a question propounded by Mr.. Barks-
dale, of Mississippi. The question was
I" you believe in the equality os the white
and black races of the United States, and do
you wish to promote that equality by legis-
latiOn?" Mr. Banks said, "he had adopted
the idea that when there is a weaker race in
existence, it must succumb and 30 absorbed
in the stronger race. This be considered a
universal law as regarded the races, and he
proposed TO wait until time should determine
the superiority Of the black or white race. BY
one of them absorbing the other"
Ii is difficult TO perceive how eny man, not
lost 10 all emotions Of decency. OF delicacy,
could utter such a reply, in the presence and
hearing Of hundreds Of refined and lntelli-
gent women, who were gracin2. cy thor at

millions Of Africans in this nation of thirty

is no escaping it.

tho First Methodist Church of Rome. had
been indicted, and subsequently arrested. by

of the case: ~

not to make them public until it had been fnr-
ther investigated. We are informed by those

The Kansas M Messago.

The Journal finds much fault with the
Kansas message of President PIERCE. This
was naturally TO be expected. These aboli-
ton papers which have been employed in
making political capital out of the Kansas
difficulties, and in charging that the General
Government sustained and approved the law
less acts of the Missouri intruders, must now
feel mortified and sore, to sec an official doc
umcnt laid before Congress, falsifying the
whole tissue of their unfounded assertions.
The demagoguery of Governor REEDEE, with
view to place himself in Congress, is also
exposed, and for disavowing his administra-
tive acts, the Journal would ccnsHrc the Pres
ident. The laws of Kansas are to be exc
cuted or nullfcd. Whose duty is it TO see
that they are executed if the General Gov
emment does not interpOse its reserved power
in the Territory. The President calls upon
Congress TO take such steps as it may deem
advisable to produce peace and order in Kan
sas. Does the Journal fear that Congress will
do its duty by responding TO these reasonable
suggestions of the President? Whoever de-
sires a true and reliable history Of the state
of affairs in Kansas, and of the course of the
administration in regard to these questions,
will read this message with care and attention.
We consider it a document ably prepared,
well expressed, and given to the country at a
proper timo.

0~5-GovcrnoT NEDILL, OF Ohio, closed his
message to the Legislature in We following
patriotic words:
GENERALIZATION is the greatest danger of
republics; and against such a tendency,
vhether the motive be the advancement of
special interest or the qualification OF section
nj amnesty, the American people can esta-
Flish no barrier more secure than the admi-
rabIe division Of political power defined by
the founders of our institutions.
Nor is it necessary, in crder 10 command
the public approval of taeso fundamental
principles, TO add any appssl n behalf of the
i5nion. No citizen of the valley Of the
Mississippi will tolerate an, doubt Of the per
petuity Of our league of States. With our
relations to the lake, river, and gulf coasts OF
this mighty basin, any scheme of dismem
iserment, which sectional infatuation may en-
gender, cannot be received otherwise than
with mingled scorn and indignation by the pa
triotic communities Of the west
Let il be understood that the centre OF our
republican empire viii soon reach the shores
Of the Mississippi, constituting the vast re-
giOn drained by its tumultuous flood and in-
Vulnerable tributaries, the natural arbitor--
never a belhSeTent--in sectional controversy
And as long as the ashes of Andreso Jackson,
are inurned among the western people, So
long will we cherish, in sentiment aud in ac-
ton, his stern and patriotic utteranec, 'The
Unicu-it must be prcservcd.@

More Trouble I'm the camp

The Fusion papers have been pitching
in" to one of their own great leaders, LEWIS
ID. CAMPBELL, of Ohio, for giving vote in
Congress without the fear of Horace Greely
before his eyes. Campbell gets spunky and
closes his letter, assigning his reason for the
vote he gave, as follows
/ give these reasons briefly now from a re-
gard to those who have requested them In

Dark Prospects of rusionism.

The fusionists are quite discouraged at
their poor success at fusing. The New York
Tribune says:
There must be some concessions of opin-
ION and some compromises of existing party
arrangements in order to bring about the fusion
of political opposition; otherwise it will be
useless to undertake the canvass. The De-
mocracy will enter the contest with COM
pact organization, no matter who may be
chosen their standard bearer, and even TO a
minority. This fact is asymbol Of stresgth
and token of victory.

lished an srticle from the New York Tribune,
from tho correspondent, of INC Tribune in
Kansas, stating ths. a letter had boen rcceiv-
ed By Col JAnEs II. LASx, from Governor

his hearty support In tho contest in Kansas.
The article Of the fsI5s1as reads as follows !:

ridiculous hoax has victimized them. Gov.
WRIdHT, we are authorized to say, has never
written letter to j. II. LANE since he was
in Kansas on any subjees, much less on Kan
sss difficulties.
The whole matter was piece of nisShif,v-

that he had written such lettor to Col

time has frequently laughed a. the joke and
