Mn. EDrToE.- Since my last | looked for my
friend of the Standard to set forth in illi.
week issue a full supply of the Bible and Con.
stIlullonal doctrine To support slavery, the true
issue Of HE Democratic pa y. of which hc is an
active member. But in place of this | was de
privctl of that number of the paper, and as |
live ia Il ncighborhood of what he calls Black
Republicans, | have had no opportunity Of en-
J"yIn% the light of The paper, which is quite Il
misfortune; my friend will please send me the
back number, and be more punctual hereafter,
as | want to keep up the correspondence all
through the present campaign, or until you
and the party arc converted into good sound
&"pu' leans, or the Republicans into pro-sIa-
very Democrats, ike yourself. There are sew
cral things in the past numbers of the Standard
that l want You to explain in your next NUM-
Der, az ] am a little leather headed or dull of
apprehension. First, [ see on the first page
OF your paper, these words I'VE stand upon
the iinmutable principles of Justice, and no
earthly power shall drive us from our position
l want to know if you mean it is the present
proslaYery Pierce, Douglas and Buchanan par
y that stands upon the immutable principles
of justice? If the Bib sanctions slavery as it
now exists in these United States, please give
us your Bible doctrine to support slavery or
We will brand You with Standing upon the I'M
mutabIe principles of injustice, and prove itby
the Bible too.
Second, | see on the second page a pictorial
view OF something in the form of a furnace
with open door, and black in color with a
shining dazzling light showing around it, |
want to know if the black lurace is calculated
to represent what you call the Back RcpubIi-
cans or friends of freedom and liberty in your
paper. with the dazzling light of Democracy
and slavery shining all around it. or tell US
what it emblcmaticalIy represents, it is some
thing that | cannot quite comprehend, don't
fail t"'glvc lis its meaning as there is IL divers
Ity of oplnion in the ncighborhood concerning
its NEARING.
Third, ne want You to define the word
Black Republican. which yeu use so much in
Your paper; the word Republican is synony-
NOUS TO Democracy. and means a government
c%arrio'to OH by the people. There Is a colony
Of Back Republicans in liberia, in Africa.
who are carrying on a republican forn'of GOV
crnmcnt and are black in color. i want 10
know If You mean them; if you were to say
black, n%rIlalto or qladroon Democrats, We ,
would know what you mean, Il, there can hard
y anything else be foumt among the Demo
Shareholders. for several reasons. viz =
/. The hot climate of the South. ?. Their
amalgHmation W In the African race. and suck
Ing their milk in infancy, and worse than all,
was latchcd in the back regions spo-
ken OF n The Bib,c.
The antis'avcry men of the North are prin-
Of Caucasian origin and in favor Of lis,
'rty. which originated in the kingdom of light
spoken of in the Bible. | would advise you
give each party lis correct name.
In the past you have been H~inching back. or
As we in Kingston cali it acting TIE pcs sum,
politically. When ! have taken up The subject
want You 10 cease acting the 'possum or the
mouse, and come ont and act like Il man, and
The true issue of the Democratic par
y, or if You cannot go slavery, come out and
'c a friend of freedom and your country. |
showing in my next that Thomas JEFF
erson, the father of Democracy, was Il thor
'u@h anti slaNcry man, and that our present
Democratic party have no right 10 claim the
Etmc rs their principles arc Just the reverse.
