A Black Republican.

The Republican party will have it that wheI
the trainers Of the Declaration of independence,
asserted that "all men are by the grace of Goo

well as white men, and consequently this patt,

sue or be sued as such. If those great and
good men who framed said Declaration and
fought the battles of The Revolution meant tC
inclu9e slaves, why did they not act as they
! preached, and set their colored brethren, theI
in bondage, free? If they looked upon the ne.
gro as their equal their precept and their exam
pie very strangely corresponds. It is strange
too, that their hypocrisy has never been dis
cerned till now. They have always betn ac.

ged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred
honor, in a cause which their modern name
sakes now claim was piece of dupicity.
The Democratic party take issue with these
latter-day Republicans on the original intent
and meaning of this phrase 'al men,, and con-
tend that the trainers of the Declaration, the
Fathers Of the Republic, and the Heroes of the
Revolution, were sincere and content men, and
that the late decision of the Supreme Court is
in conformity with their views and with the
Constitution.
The equality of the negro IS Eohtended for
by the present Fusion party, will, if carried out
amalgamate the races and make this a govern
ment of minks and monkeys. Its legitimate
fruits are well illustrated by case in point
which we take from the Chicago Times:
GREELY SUSTAINED BY FACTS.
1t has been but few weeks since that Hor-
ace Greely in a burst OF indignant rage, decla-
red, that in Illinois, no person entertained any
social or political prejudices against negroes, ex-
cept Douglas and his brother democrats. He
further asserted that whenever white women in
Illinois chose to marry black men,, the laws of
this State would PROVE no ba er to such aifa-
cation. We, as far as we felt authorized to do
so, denied that Republican ladies in Illinois
would seek negro husbands in defiance of law,
but the Republican papers will not unite with
us in the denial.
Be that as it may, Knox county, Illinois. or
at least all that part of 1t lying about GalesEurg
has lately been thrown into high state of eX-
citement by a veriiicatioh of Greeley's predc-
ton. 1t seems that duliug the campaign OF
last year; when Banks, Buflnkame, Grover,
Hale, General Nye, and other aboltionists visit
ed this regions the negro equality faith, always
very strong got intensely heated at Galesburg
and most respectable and wealthy farmer Of
that vicinity, the head of large family, by wav
of showing. his sincerity in the doctrine, took a
negro man into his house, treating him as an
equal and fit associate for members of his family
Time, which develops all things, has develop
ed even to the abolitiUnSts of Galesburg the
practical effects of the teachings of Bhrlihgame
and Banks. One of the daughters, i voting and
blooming girls now mother, and the moth
er OF a black mahs child! Abolition ladies',
mothers and maidens who cheercd General Nye
and John P. Hale, when they asserted that ne
grocS were the equals of white men, now turn
away from the poor victim of that system OF
teaching. Galesburgh has long been celebrated
for its Abolitionism. 1t is fit that its practical
should have occurred there.
The child has no name I've have u succes,
ton TO make. A few months ago an illegiti-
mate child was born in this city. A Republican
meeting was held and it was resolved!
l. That the child should be taken to the
Mayors office on the following Sunday and
after the ceremony of the Lords supper, should
be chrstained.
2. That the childs name shodld be John
Wentworth.
Our suggestion is, that Republican mass
meetingting be held at Galesburg; that Presi
dent Blanchard 6r the Rev. Owen Loveioy
preach; and that the child be thristened Na-
thaniel T. Banks Jr. The child being all ma.
tive and half black, the name of Banks is the
most appropriate we can suggest
The young ladies of the Female Colleges at
Galesburg, who have had Abolition taught them
on every occasion, have now before them beau
tul example. They can write home to their
parents that the 'lbRely" doctrines of negro
equality upon which SO many words have been
exhausted, and so many anthems surg, and in
whose cattse 'hcy have So often appeared at po-
lltcal meetings, have at last living witness.
The complexion Of the descendants of one of
the Kansas shrieking damsels of Galesburgh
will be OF that pect llarly attractive hue known
as 'lnoasses color" This is, however, in all
a deplorable example to spread be-
fore college of young ladies'! May its repul-
siveness have good effect not only upon stu
lents but upon parents.
We object to the christening as proposed
Did not s. P. Chase and Joshute Il. Giddinrs
stump Illinois last year, std did they not con
lend for the sarae equality doctrine? Did not
chase and Giddings both object to the new
Constitution of Ohio, because it contained
nhite clause? Suppose you name the bantling,
Salmon Z. Giddings Plajndealer.
