Negro Equality.

The Republicans complain bitterly be-
cause the Democrats charge them with be-
lag in favor Of Negro Equality; but every
movement of their party leaders furn-
ishes new evidence that they are favorable
to the elevation Of the Negro to position
equal to that occupied by the white man.
Their opposition to the bred Scott dec's-
ion is because it declares that Negro Is
not, and cannot become, a citizen of the
United States; and. therefore, is not en-
titled to vote. hold Office. DC. 1t they
dislike the decision because it declares that
Negroes are not citizens, Of course they
believe they are citizens. One citizen is
entitled to all the rights and privileges OF
another. If one citizen has the right to
vote and hold office. another has. This is
Negro equality, and, how like unto Re
publicanism!

TIMOTHY OE.DBUCK'S
EEE

Did you hear hcw Uncle Tom knocked
off that piece of mpland to one of ,he
County Commissioners. for $5l, before the
hour on the day, he told man who want
ed to bid on it; that he would sell it, they
say it am fact, that Champlin who bou' t
it, Dragged about it and said he had made
800 that day. He has since sold it we
hear for $3.50. The man that told Uncle
Tom that he wanted to be on hand at the
sale; SAYS that he would have given oyer
500 for it. so you seq that the people are
fumixed out fat least $50 by this opper-
alton of Uncle Toms; another reason
makes us believe this story is: Champiin
met the man what was going TO I'D. at the
the Court House Door, Is minutes be''ore
2 O'Clock, the time Uncle Tom told him he
would sell all Doc, your too late, have
just bought it, DC. &c.-Extract from
Timothy Oldbuck's letter in last weeks
Republican.
The above is false from BEGINNING to end.
We were present at that sale. and will tes-
tify as follows: The land was advertised
by the Auditor see notice published III
this paper DR.. Bennett was at the Court
house the day before the sale, and said he
would give $50 for the land. He was told
by the Auditor the time it would be sold.
When the time arrived for it to be sold,
the Treasurer was about to offer it,and the
Auditor { Uncle Tom. as Timothy calls
him, ,old him that Doc Bennett left bid
of $50, and that he had better wait few
minutes, for Doc to come. The Treasurer
waited 90 minutes, and Doc failing to ap-
pear, he started the land at Docs bid SO
dollars). Champlin bid 81 dollars. and
took the land. If there is any blame to be
attached, it is to the Treasurer,for waiting
20 minutes longer than the time advertis-
ed. Champlin lives four miles in the coun-
try,-Doc lives IN town. Was it not as
easy for Doc to be there at the time as
Champlin.

copy Of the address issued by the bolt

an editorial remark that it was true. If
Mr.. Colfax was not member. how did he
obtain the necessary grips, signs and pass
words by which to get into the Convention
at Philadelphia? And if he was not a
member of the Convention, how could he

on the wall of fate, no subterfuge is left

The editor of the 1850 Printing Of
fce," says, in his last weeks paper, that a
man came to our Office. enquired our price
for advertising and the number of our
subscribers; that he then went to the Re-
publican Office, and finding its circulation
SO much larger than our own. actually
gave the editor SO SO more than we ctarg-
ed for it. The statement. from beginning
to end, is utterly untrue: nothing OF the
kind, or anything even like it. having ever
occurred, and was only made to deceive
Advertisers into the belief that the Re-
publican has the largest circulation.
We hear of several Advertisements
that the Republican has obtained oy these
''false pretences." Justice to Advertisers
requires that they should lie exposed.

re- CoLFAx. in his speeches through
out the District, reiterates the old thread
bare A bolition statement, that FIVE Ne
groes In slave State entitle their owner
to three votesl A greater imposition upon
the credulity of the people, never was at
tempted by candidate for their suffrages.
When Colfax makes the statement, he
knows it to be false; we will not charge
him with ignorance in regard to it. This
statement has been so frequently refuted
that We do not deem it necessary to occu-
Ply but little space to show its falsity. In
the ratio of representation. FIVE slaves are
counted as three persons; in the free States
they are counted as five persons; Jet they
do rot vote, neither do "their masters vote
for them," AS Colfax and his confederates
are attempting to make the people believe.
This charge is precisely the same as that
made by the Abolitionists in former times,
and was Indignantly spurned as base
SANDER against our laws, by the same in
dividuals that are now shouting it long
and lo.d. Abolitionists makeuwtal good

generally may deny any completely in this

We acknowledge. for the satisfaction of

kept the County Records correctly-if he has
not attended to the Office promptly, during

those who had business with him with
courtesy--and always been ready to give
any information in reference to titles to
