PRACTICAL.

The following very practical and sensible article
from the Ohio State Joarna' is equally appIica.
bic to the "Cit;ztn" of this place as it is to the
great Central organ Of the Taneyschool of politics,
The "Citizen' has been aping the Statesman the
last two months ip all its uneu,iable g%yrations.-
Its readers are weekly DosEp with "BIack Repub.
lcan purposes" smelling COMMITTEES" "Legisla
lures" holding that every thing in opposition to
the fancy decision is anti. Democratic.
WHAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY DE.
sIRES TO ACCOMPLISH, AND WHAT
1T OPPOSES.
The Salesman does not appear to have capa.
city TO understand the principles and purposes Of
tho Republican party. 1t keeps runn'ng of into
all sorts Of Whirlygigs and curhcues, like the ten,
drills ola grape vine. That which is clear, straight
sud above board, il makes dark, crooked aud in
visible. 1t appears to be haunted by a phantom.
Like Peter Rugg. it always has a thunder cloud
over its right shoulder-the phantom and thunder
cloud Of amalgamaIiou, intermixture Ofthe bloods,
white men martyrs black women. aud black wo.
men marry ing white men. Should Republican
principles prevail, the succeeding generation are to
he m~ulalloes. This is the kind of stuff which the
readers of the Statesman are daily doied with,
when The smelling committees accounts are
not put before them for a change. The editor
really seems 10 believe that unless tie doctrines of
the South and the t%yrannies Of Slavery are kept
tho ruling powersiu this government, that inter
marrying with negro women on the p TT of white
men is Immediately TO begin. Why d, es he think
81 What logical connection is there between d
NAN having ls Personal rights under the Consli,
tuition and laws protected, and his marrying a ne,
gro womani Is the editcr OF the Statesman alraiC
that be sill be compelled to lead to the h%ymeuiaI
altar some "llack Aspasia, and tocome the faith
er Of a fancy colored race, II the black man SHOULD
be declared y citizen Of the United States, and b
permitted TO % 10 law ia the Uutel States Courts
Or is be afraid that some Of bis Republican brelh
Ter nav be induced to 10 SO foolish An act?
Every body knows that in the slave States, ant
particularly IL Kentucky, aud Louisville, The re
cent home cf tie ,ditOr Of the Statesman, lla
practical analgamatlon OF the races Ii n tbousalC
times more prevalent than in the free States, An,
there is logic for il: Whenever a particular rae
or class is brutalzed aud degraded 10y being IL,
mere property and %clattels Of a superior race, lhel
lose their self respect, and have DO k~nolelge Of tha
grace Of life which has its foundation IN the yirta
u chastity. He8cS, in the slave States the anal
g~amation Of the races is almost universal. while il
the free States It is n crime hardly known. tn,
higher we can raise the A frican race in knowlelg,
aud civilization, The nearer We make them approacl
10 the standard Of accountable beings; BY educa
ton, seeul~r and religious, We make them feel AM
know that they must depend upon themselves 70
success IN life aud for respectfully 10 society, an
the further do We put IN TIE disgusting aud nn
uStnfal besstliness Of a~inalgsmati1n.
Tie Republican party holl to these truths
they have uo.hing to 10 with The social rqualit,
Of Gegross any more than they have with tue 50
caI eoualit, Of The whites. These are moral an
NOT political questions. l. the SotssataR afrai
that BY allowing "poor white folks" To have equa
political rights with the "rieh and sell born /" tha
The great families Of the Wieklifs, the Marshall
and lbe Clays, which exists in Kentucky, are g
