For the Tribune a Telegraph.

Hardly one year ago, the chief political stock
in trade Of our Wisconsin democracy was
acknowledgment !" but since most of the old
leaders of the order hive been taken to the boz
som ofthe party, it has ceased to fiddle ON that
string, and is now raising the cry OF niggerism.
We do not Iropose 10 handy epithets, or call
these ever shifting democrats by any unlustifa,
bic names. but simply give them a few facts TO
digest, as best they can.
The history of the several States of the Union. |
shows that where the colored population enjoy |
the right of suffrage. instances of amalgamation
ore of rare occurrence but wherever deprived
of liberty, tho tendency is inevitably to a mix |
ture of the races. Massachusetts, has always |
allowd co,ored men right to vote, but who pre-
tends this has lead 10 amalgamation in that
state Vermont and New Hampshire, give the
election privilege to men of color, bnt what man
of intelligence will claim that any Of the conse-
quences, which the opponents offree suffrage in
Wisconsin pretend to fear, are seen in those
states
But since our sham democratic neighbors
charge upon republicans, amsIgamation tenden
cies, we will endeavcr to put the democratic par
ty where it belongs,ane show it to be practically
the party of negro aniagamation. BY the GEN.
sus statistics of 1850, i, will be seen that the
population of negroes in the United States de-
nominated mulattos is .srge; the population of
tlis class is of course the result of the amalga
paiion OF the two races-wIite and black
From " hence come this great army of mulattos
Chiefly, indeed almost wholly, from the great
democratic states. Take an example the cen

gina nearly equal in population Massachus-
sets has 2.:l40 mulattos; Virginia has 1915.
Whoever questions Virginia's being one of the
most reliable democratic states Virginia de-
mocraey has been the subject of eu.ogy by north
ern democrats from time immemorial. There are
thirty:tour times as many muIattos (results of
amalgamation) in Old democratic Virginia as in
old Massachusetts, where the coiored race have
always enjoyed political rights. Besides, histo-
real facts show, the comparatively small n UNI.
Der of mulattos in Massachusetts, have their pa
ternty traced to the slave breeding states which
are now the great democratic strongholds of the
party. Its in such states as Virginia where
tie democracy rules with almost undisputed
sway, where the bleaching Of the African race
is made thriving business; and according to
the statements Of GOV. Wise, a few years ago
The time is coming when old Virginia will have
so effectualy bleacilcd her negro population,
that it will with difficulty be distinguished from
the white race.
Comparisons based on census statistics, be-
tween other southern democratic states and
northern free states, show essentially the same
results, as those between Massachusetts, and Vir
ginia.
1t will be seen therefore from Official statistics,
that the states in which amalgamstion prevails,
without restraint and to an unlimited extent,
and the states which uphold, sustain and control
the national democratic party in these amalga-
nation states, republicanisnis not allowed men
suspected of republican tendencies, have been
obliged to flee from them 10 save their lives.
Inview of such facts, how supremacy rdcu-

fact capable of demonstration from authentic sta

which are today the strong fortresse. Of the ma

In view Of these facts. may we not ask. ia !.
fa;r--is il generous for the modern democracy to
treat tie coored people so shabby? Whv do
our national democratic friends not stop to re-
feet, ,''at in heaping abuse upon what they call
the ntggtrs, they are in fact abusing their osn
relations More than half a million of these
people of color, exhibit evidence of white demo.

in the ranks of the national democracy, do it ey.

avail, we would expostulate with the democracy,
and exhort them to stop abusing their blood rela-

the party OF practical amagamation. Q.

SINGULAR CASE.-The Milwaukee Sentinel
relates al account of a young female, who lives
entirely isolated from the world; in a solitary
has been seen FOR some time past going in the
direction OF her barbarous abode, and some were
led to suppose that she was dishonest charse-
ter and made this place a receptacle for stolen
goods. The police were apprised of the matter,
and went TO discover who this MYSTERIOUS per
sonage might be. They found the cave with
difficulty, but the occupant was gone Search.

rags Not satisfied with their investigations.
they secreted themselves in the brush close by.
and towards night they saw the object of their
search coming towards her abiding place, with
an ainfdl OF wood, and little bag of flour
She then proceeded Ia make fire, and was pre.
pairing TO cook her supper when the police
showed themselves. She did not appear ut all
alarmed at their presence but she neither could
not or would not speak to Them One of them
tried to make her understand that he would give
her something to eat and place to sloep'in if
she would come to his house, but she signifed
her preference to remain in her lonely abode.
She was quite poorly clad but they say she is
rather intelligent looking. As the police found
nothing suspicious or Objectionable about this
eccentric young woman they concluded to leave
her alone in her solitude.
