THE WHITE RACE IN DANGER.

1t is only very recently that we have been made
aware Of the great dangers besettirg the white
race in this country. We had supposed Anglo
Saxon vigor had the upper hand on this continent,
aud was likely to keep its advantage. But it
would appear faom recent harraugues Of Demo
cratic orators, from the repeated warnings Of the
Democratic press, and from the eloquent and thrill
ling address OF tho Democratic State Committee Of
Ohio, lately put forth, that all this is mistake.
Although the white race in tins country stands in
a ratio OF nearly ten to one of the black, yet the
Caucasian type of manhood would seem to be in
imminent danger of forever disappearing from
this continent. If the Democratic Communities
may be relied on, this terrible consequence can
only be averted by the election Of the Hon. Henry
b. Payne. The danger is indeed imminent We
recognize party ties that sEall prevent our lay
ing these startling views OF the Democracy fairly
before the people. Let us look at the elaborate
and forcbe augmentation Of the Committee a
little more in detail
"The Committee believe that upon the success
of the Democratic party the preservation of our
race pure and intact in Ohio mainly depends"
That is to say, if you re-elect Gov. CHASE, if
you continue tn theRepubcan party,in power for two
years longer, the black race will be put upon
equality OF legal rights with white men and this
once accomplished. you, the white race, will of
course begin to associate with the blacks terms
of equality, and, Of necessity the purity of your
blood can no longer be maintained Such result
IN Onlo Is palnIul u contemplate. But more tnau
the interests of this State staked this ss ue
The rest of mankind implore you.
"To keep this great superior race unmixed with
the African in Ohio, is an imperative duty you owe
to mankind at large, as well as to yourselves and
your immediate descendants"
Now we had not supposed, judging from the
past, that any change whatever in the condition
OF the African race, in this State. was likely to
follow the reelection of Gov. CHASE. If such
were to be the result, however, we do not see how
any such corruption of the race is to result, or
how amalgamation is to become any more imm-
nent than it has always been at the South or is
now here. Onr Democratic brethren, however
have such antcipatiOns. They have rummaged
the history of the past for strong reasons, and
they have not scrupled to do their whole duty in
laying these reasons before the public.
They proclaim, once and for all, their uaatera-
ble conviction in the graduation Of The
white race of people in the United States like the
ancient Romans and the English, the off.prng of
the most intellectual, energetic, perseverinG aud
warlike varieties of tho Caucasian people, is be-
heveo to be the highest type Of man yet develop
ed on the globe. The crafty and savage tribes Of
this continent wihered at its near approach, by
reason of some mysterious agency never explain
ed, but never by any barbarians long wthstood,
1t supplanted the French in all their vast posses
sions below the Great Lakes. 1t elected the for
mer occupants of the northern and western shores
Of the Gulf of Mexico. 1t appropriated the coast
of the Pacific from the thrty-second to the fortyr
ninth degree Of north latitude. 1t has reduced to
it's dominion all the intermediate territory between
the first early settlements at Plymouth, and on the
