said Uncle Josh, as he read over some Of
tho democratic donunciations Of smalgama-
ton.
How 80, Uncle Joshl Is not the mix
ing Of the blood Of the white and black
races, an evil to be deplored BY all, and
to be prevented il possiblei
Just so, said Uncle Josh, but everybody
knows that the slave States OF slave power
constitute the main body of the democrat
ic party; only the switch ends of some Of
the rear extromities arc found anywhere
else; and as the colored population Of the
slave States have no political influence, and
the poor whites no other influence than to
follow tho lead of tho SHAREHOLDERS, it
amounts to this; that the human flesh
mongers of the slave States, | mean the
men who love to imbrute their fellow be-
ings who gloat their lusts by crushing out
the humanity, the soul, the blood and life
Of men, women and children, constitute
the head and heart of the democratic par
ty. Tho pulsations of that heart gives
action and vitality, the brain in that head
concocts and directs every motion Of that
party, and there is not body or machine
in the world, that moves in more perfect
obedience to, and harmony with the power
that moves it, than the democratic party
does TO the slave power which moves and
directs thai
But, Uncle Josh, what has this to do with
amalgamation. Turning his eye suddenly
upon me, he answered:
There are in the fifteen democratic States
south, not far from four millions of slaves
all these slaves are held by the democratic
party by the same legal tenure that applies
to cattle and horses. And the whole party
are united in shutting out all intelligence
from these slaves, and to crush out all symp-
toms of ambition, or love of manhood, or
human decency; hence female slaves are an
easy prey to the beastly lusts of the whites;
and the result of this illicit connection is,
that the democratic party gives birth annu-
ally to seventy.iyo or hundred thousand
mulattO children.
Still further: The democratic party en-
courage this breeding of mulatto children.
First, by incessant labor for succession of
years, using the whole strength of the fed
eral government, to strengthen and extend
slavery. Secondly, by paying higher
price for mulattocs, especially the girls, than
they pay for negroes. Handsome mulatto
girls sometimes bring from one to five thou
sand dollars.
This article of property is a luxury that
only the rich can enjoy, and probably there
is scarcely q rich leader of the party that de-
nies himself this luxury; sometimes they
sell their own daughters as articles of this
desirable property.
In the third place, they encourage the
amalgamation of the whites and blacks, by
Withholding all legal protection for the chas-
tity of colored females There is not an
enactment found on the statute books of the
slave States, that makes it crime for any
man to subject even by force the female
slave to the qualification of his lusts; such
a crime as a rape upon slave, is not known
in fifteen democratic states of this Union.
Now in view of these facts, who can help
feeling unuttera5le contempt, and sickening
disgust at tho audacity, the hypocrisy, the
falsehood and deep corruption of those
democrats, who in order to divert the pub
lie gaze from their own black depravity, arc
charging amalgamation upon those who are
striving in the only effectual way to put an
end to the evil, and that effectual way is to
put an end to slavery, and to cease robbing
the colored people of their natural rights.
Let their females be protected by the strong
arm of the law, the same as the whites,
against the beastly lusts of southern dem
ocrats; then and not till then may we hope
to see amalgamation come to. an end.
Why, Uncle Josh, these arc hard sayings;
| almost shudder al eliminating the whole
democratic party as you have done. Sure
ly there are some respectable men that be-
long to that party.
My dear sir, you have not quite under
stood me; the slave States or slave power
constitutes the head, the heart, and body
ofthe democratic party. This power thinks
and purposes for the party. This power
moves and animates the party. It is this
power that holds the party togetheE-and
almost the entire efforts of the party consist
in Strengthening and extending slavery, and
in opposing and slandering all those who
arc opposed to slavery. The leaders of the
democratic party arc slave mongers, for all
democrats North as well as South follow in
their wake or do their bidding, the meas
ures supported by Northern Democrats arc
dictated by shareholders, and as the projects
