$4,000 Of public funds, with the un-
derstanding as the committee learned
from the treasurer, that it should be
repaid, if required, to meet the July
interest. No part of this deposit had
been paid December Is, 1856; it had
then been INCREASED"
"About the 1st of January, 1856,
Bartlitt & Smith paid Mr.. Breslin, the
late treasurer, $40, 900 due the Trea-
sury from the securities of his prode-
cessors, for which they took real es-
tate and other effects, as stated in the
dispositions of Mr.. Sullivan, Mr.. Car
rington and Mr.. Smith, which have
not hitherto been available in their
business. In the statements furnished
by the treasurer, it is shown that the
firm have been indebted to the treas
ury in about the same amount, at least
since the 14th of March, 1856. On
the 18th of December, 1856, Mey

Men of sense, men ofthought! look
at the facts presented in the extracts
which are given above, and say, if
you can, that Salmon p. Chase, in
failing to restrain Gibson, as the
18th section Of Kelley's treasury law
required, did not most shamefully
neglect the discharge Of his solemn
duty!

pressed views, we ask, in all candor,
if those sentiments thus expressed,
are not the real "platform " of that
partyl Believing our position to be
true, We proceed to give, (by special

BLACK REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
AT the late Black Republican Con-
vention, s. P. CHASE was re-nomina-
ted as candidate for Governor of
Ohio. In a speech, accepting that
nomination, he says: ItI,.yI
" come here to announce no nenr

ION, from which Ihage seen no cause
to SIFER VE,."
Now wha. is Mr.. Chase's "PLAr.
FORM ? "and what are his "pzst dec

arc. Mr.. Chase said: nt

portunity of declaring my disapproba-
ton Of thar clause in the Constitution
which denies to a portion Of the color.

Again he said
In communities Of mer it (his plat
forn) recognizes no distinction foun-
ded on mere arbitrary will. lregard,
therefore, the EXCLUSION of the color

franchise, as incompatible with our
Democratic principles. / am aware
that this exclusion is effected by
constitutional provision, and purpose
no action against the Constitution
But, whenever a convention shall be
called to revise that instrument, |
trust that this anti.suffrage restriction
will be expunged It's in fact, already
as ridiculous and impracticable as it is
wrong in theory"
Again he said .,
"The exclusion of colored children
from the schools is, in my judgment,
a clear Infringement Of the Constitu-
tion and palpable breach of trust"
Again he said: . -'--a--,
We feel, therefore, that oil legal dis
tinctions between individuals of the
same community, founded onany snch
circumstances as COLOR, origin, and
the like, are hostile to the genius of
our institutions, and incompatible

who are Slave Traders !--A Pic
lVrC,


1t is stated in the Richmond En-
quirer, in an article supposed to be
written by Gov. Wise, that during
that gentleman's mission to Brazil al
most every vessel bearing the flag of
the United States, and captured or
condemned for participation in the
slave trade, was found to be the prop
erty of some northern ship owner. In
one instance such a vessel was cap.
tured which proved to be the proper
ty of a Quaker in New Jersey, who
abstained: on principle, from the con
sumption Of sugar produced by slave
labor. Of the state of society in
Brazil, the same article remarks p
The laws and customs of Brazil
are extremely favorable to emancipa-, 4,
tion. Any agreement made by the
master of a slave, either with the slave
himself, or with third party, for the
purchased emancipation Of the slave,
is made irevocably binding. The G.
mancipated negro Immediately as
sumes all the rights and franchizes Of.
citizen of Brazil; nor does he find
any serious obstacle to social ad.
vanccment. The prejudice of color
is almost unknown in Brazil; laughed
at even in the more refined circles of
the Court, as displaying an unnatural
fastidiousness. The priest at the al
tar, the general officer in the army,
the merchant on change, the lawyer
at the bar, or even the officer of the
imperial household, may be, and fire.,
quently is, an unadulterated negro,
and in all grades of society the inter
marriage of whites and negroes is a.
thing OF constant practice. "d0 .!IaW
This is the result of practical abo,
litionism. With what complacency
can Americans contemplate a similar
state of things in this country9 10 9a.

TKE CONGO CREED /!
NIGGERs DECLARED TO DE SUPERIOR TO
THE MAJORITY OF THE WHITE MEN
IN THE UNITED STATES.
Joshua Is. Giddings OH Negro SUI
pcriOrity!

We find in the Ashtabula Sentine'
of Thursday, Sept. Sd, a letter signed
&c" Itis the production Of Joshua
r. Giddings, at whose suffrancC
Chase holds his nominal position a
the head of the Republican party il
this State. This communication is t,
be taken as a further authoritative ex
position Of the creed of the Congo
brethren. Welave already establish
ed the fact that Gov. Chase, Martin
Welker and Milton Sutliffe, Republi-
can candidates for the three highest
offices in the gift of the people of Ohio,
are in favor of negro equality. We
have made profert Of its own language
to show that the Ohio State Journal
is in the plot, and that it advocates
negro suffrage and negro Office hold,
ing. We now cite the deliberate
pronunciamento Of Joshua r. Gid
dings, written down, and printed by
n leading black Republican paper two
days ago, to show that the party not
only goes for negro equality, but that
the majority of the white citizens of
the United States are, by its leaders,
proclaimed to be inferior to niggers.
Read this!
"Some niggers arc far superior to
some democrats. Indeed, they are
doubtless superior to the great mass
Of the democratic party; while some
democrats are superior to some Mig
gers, and perhaps, to the greater por-
ton of the African race. Yet all
democrats, however intellectually in
terior they may be to the niggers, are
entitled to live and enjoy their liber-
ty, and the fruits of their labor. And
while we are endeavoring to sustain
these equal and universal rights, We
ought not to be drawn into any dis
cussion of the moral or social superb
ority OF the niggers over the demo-
Gratis" &C."
Now, the great mass of the demo.
cratic party is a majority of the white
people of the United States of Amer
lea, who are thus pronounced to be
intellectually inferior to the nigger8.'
Again, the great mass of the demo
cratic party embraces the vast major
ity of the industrious laborers, me.
chanicS and farmers of the country,
who are thus held up as 'INTELLEorU.
ALLY INFERIOR TO THE NIGGERsP And
the conclusion follows that in the esti-
nation of the Black Republicans, all
the producing classes are intellectual
ly inferior to the niggers! and that to
find the intellectual equal of the Mig
gers, you must ascend to the lawyers
and thieving bankers of the Congo
party. .-&atesn,an.

Two YEARS AGo.-Here is what
the Cleveland Herald, a prominent
republican organ, said of MIR. Chase
in July, 1855: Esf ve.bre..
"With the majority Of tboge who
have attached themselves to the Fu- f'i /.
sion or Republican party, Salmon p
Chase has been unpopular. We shall
not attempt to defend that gentleman
in the means used to get into the Uni
ted States Senate. We thought those
means Un6econtng an honorable
man, and ace think so still"
The Herald has never disavowed
this declaration.

ORIGIN OF THE BONNET.-The first
bonnet worn in England was brought
from Italy in the reign OF Queen Eliz,
abeth, and its form was a compromise
between the present round Italian
lat and the French hood. The ma.
terialS employed in constructing these
head ornaments were crimson satin,
elaborately embroidered, cloth ofgold,
and similar rich materials. The Leg.
horn fiat, with perpendicular crown,
and wide brim standing ont far
around the face, was the first legiti-
mate bonnet worn, and this appeared
long after Elizabeth's time. It was
trimmed with artificial flowers and
immense bows of ribbon. Our pres
ent neat and exquisitcly delicate and
tasteful head covering is but modi-
fcation Of this huge affair, which, un-
til not many years back was so uni
versally worn and admired.

We deem this course the most proper, because
no real prejudice can result to any one from
making public the testimony. In cases of this
character we have frequently known injustice
to be done to the people, the accused, and the
fame Of the deceased, by rash inferences and
editorial colorings, in place of which the proof
might as easily have been published. 1t will
be seen that Justice Watts exonerated and dis
charged the prisoner from custody. The un-
