new party, which Is to be styled the estate Patriot
Party has recently beea brought Out in Mississippi and
among the principles its platform the following may be
noted as the most important. The FIRST is the
AFRICAN CONTRACT LABOR SUPPLY.
Tic policy forth this mead is the increase OF
black labor the State by which l. asserted that the
seco may be balanced the Union preserved and the
principle Of justice TO the Southern States established
Then follows the argument, which Is, that the enact
r.cnt Of the African contract labor Immigration
bill The only practicable method for supply of labor.
The est mate Is that this abor supply j. not speedily
opened the antagonisc free labor States viii in years
he more than double the SO called slave States. IL, Of
course is vain TO nope that next President or his
cessor slll sanction repeal Of the United States Slave
TRADE acts Such repeal may well be deemed impractical
BILE orr sagacious and faithful Senator Brown asserts
that the repeal is impractcabie. But If African labor
be got by repeal if the Norths aDtagonstc will

African labor be promptly suppied2 The only prompt,
practical legal and honest method 4 that Of African con

The gains too enormous too quick and too sure Tho
true therefore is not whether the supply Of African

Union Jy the balauce Of sections The principle OF the
measure L. simple justice 10 the South.
The rext plank in this funny platform IL called
THE GEORGIA STATUTE AGAINST NEGRO MECHANICS.
According e. the economists, the three kinds of labor
mental, skilled and brute labos. Mental and skilled
labor thoughtful but brute labor y thoughtess In
