Negro Equality Used Up.

Lincoln, in his debate with Douglas
at Charleston, knocks the wind out of
the Negro-equality humbug in the fol-
lowing humorous manner;
While l was at the hotel to day an
elderly gentleman called upon me to
know whether l was really in favor of
producing perfect equality between
the negroes and the white people. (Lau-
ghter. } s5While had not proposed to
myself on this occasion to say much on
that subject, yet as the question was
asked me, | thought / would occupy
perhaps FIVE minutes in saying some-
thing in regard to it. Twill say then
that | am not, and never have been in
favor of bringing about in any way,
the social and political equality of the
white and blackraces, applause that
| am not, and have never have been in
favor Of making votes or jurors Of ne
groes, nor Of qualifying them to hold
Office, nor to intermary with white peo-
pie; and will say in addition to this
that there is a physical difference be-
tween the white and black races which
| believe win forever forbid the two
races living togather on terms of social
and political equality. Aud inasmuch
as they cannot so live, while they do
remain together there must be the po-
sition ofsuperior and inferior, as much
as any other man am in favor of having
the superior position assigned to the
white race. | say upon this occasion
| do not perceive that because the
white man is to have the superior po-
sition the negro should be denied ev-
erything. do not understand taht
because l do not want negro woman
for a slave / must necessarily want her
for awife. [Cheers and laughterl My
understanding is that lean just let her
alone. I am now in my fiftieth year,
and ! certainly never have had black
woman for either aslaye ora wife. So
it seems to me quite possible for US to
get along without making either slaves

q We are fain to believe that the convic :
tion is lsgradually forcing itself upon the lead
ersof the Locofoco party in this State that they

tho.gh they have great faith 10 hard living and
endorse the motto that lie we'll stuck is as
good - the truth, yet they are beginning to
find out that it will be impossible to. hold out
until after the clection--that they are being met

scrupulous lying tongue will do mnch, but cam

AcsteT IFOn senator crimes.
The following letter from Ex-Gover
nor Grimes has been handed to us for
publication. 1t will be remembered
that Gov. Grimes was one of the Com
missioners who located the Insane Asy-
lam. 9aisu ffa
DEAR SIR: In answer to your inqui-
ries l respond as follows. ,sv
lst. No appropriation to the Iusane
Asylum has been made by the General
Assembly since Mr.. H. Fl. Trimble
became a member of the Senate of
Iowa, that he has not voted for it, and
he always voted for the highest amount
proposed. s6 faissss
End Every report presented by the
Commissioners of the Asylum was
drawn by the Hon. Ed. johnson of Lee
county, who has: until recently been the
Secretary of the Board, and the whole
work has been carried forward under
the direction of Henry Winslow Esq
who is also democrat. II. gs q. .gsr
Sd. The statements made by MIR. El-
wood that | am the owner Of property
in Mt Pleasant is utterly untrue. I do
not own foot Of property in or about
the town, and only one piece of land
in the county Of Henry, which is South
Of Skunk river, entered in 1888, sni
which is almost valueless. "
4th. The statement said to be made
by Messrs. Elwood and Trimble that
the expenses of the Commissioners in
procuring plans, &c. for the Asylum
was fifty thousand dollars, is falsehood
The whole expense of the commission,
ers for this purpose did not exceed
twelve hundred dollars included plans.
drawings, specifications &c. Sc, their
own expenses. = s.as s''
9Th, The statement that the building
when complete win cost the State two
millions ofdollars is equally groundless.
The Superintendent and those much
better qualified to Judge than Messrs,
Trimble and Elwood, say that it can
be completed with the appropriation
made. o sia
9th The building is no greater than
the Commissioners discovered " as nee
essary to Accommodate the numder Of
insane persons in the State. See Judge
Johnson's report on this subject to the
General Assembly.
7th, The statement that l had any.
thing to do with the late action Of the
Board of Equalization, either directly
Or indirectly is utterly false, have had
no communication with the Board, nor
with any member of it in relation to any
matter connected in the remotest de-
gree on the subjec'. 8 sass
| believe this answers all the inoui-
les pnt to me. Yours Trnly.
