FRiGnTEEED CANDIDATE.
Driven long ago from the field of argument, and
still mad at their discomfturcs, our opponents are
determined to call us hard names, il they cannot
meet us in fair discussion. Epthets furnish cheap
logic, and any fool can repeat " AbotiOnist"
" Black Republican" "Nigger worshipcrs," and so
on and upon thcse they have rung the changes
so often and so long that tho exigencies of the
party demanded q new coinage. Niger Equal
ity is now the chief currency of Bogus De-
mocracy, and I am told that distinguished Demo-
cratic candidate during his peregrination through
low in quest of Office. has been exceedingly alarm
ed that he might return home some fine morning,
at early dawn, and fnd nigger in bed with his
wife and babies hope no such fortune awaits
his patriotic effort, to him or her. Indeed do
not believe that the "nigger" race is such set OF
irresistably gay deceivers that tney can lead
captive all white womanhood, Notwithstanding the
pernicous example of Othello and Desdemona to
the contrary. At all events VIC are willing to take
the hazard, aud if the Democracy 1DW take care
of their 1cOmeH, they need giUe Themselves no con-
cerB about ours.

equality is amusing. It originated in the invcn.

MS the Democracy phrase it, otherwise called Ste
phan a, Douglas. lie used to take to himself the
sobriquct of Little Giant" but since question
has arisen whether he is very great man or a
very great humbug, md public opinion has been
tending to the belief that he is little of both, it
is said that the gigantic litteness heretofore
attached to his name has been cut off ; and as he
is chief name .makcr Of his party, no one can ques.
tion his right to alter his own at pleasure.
We nro Indebted to him for the name of "B ack |
Republican, his own party are also under oblign-
ton to him for the affixed " National" as a Dem
ocratic prelude, but his greatest triumph is his
last. namely Niger cquiliy." 1t is said that
there has been ranking for long time in the |
fe ling o. jealousy towards his distinguished though
colored namasake, who resides in the State of
New York onl that it is TO this circumstance we .
are indebted FOX the ilea OF rivalry between the .

the reusonings Of the iOcI;y who was challenged to |
