Are the white people of the North
prepared to receive the blacks as equals
in all respects? Are they willing their
daughters should be wooed by the sable
sons of Africa Are they willing to have
their wives meet the negro on terms al
social equality Are they willing their
sons should make them the companions
Of their festive hours, and their compeers
in the race of life If our good republi.
can brethren are ready for all these things
we are satisfied the Democrats are not,
and it would seem as if the former were,
for their political theory if carried to its
legitimate results, lead to Just these ends.
Full and perfect equality, socially and
politically, would legit:mately result from
the complete carrying out Of the tenets of
the black republican party. The equal
ization Of races is beyond all question the
end to which republicanism is tending
and yet many who are bold enough to
proclaim themselves republicans, deny that
such is its practical working but follow
them into the rami6cations of life, and
there behold their principles put into
practice, and you will find that the charge
is not without foundation, or evidence to
support it.
We quote the abpye, from Demo
cratic contemporary to give our readers a
taste of the nursing the Democracy re-
oeiye. We seldom look into Democrs
tic paper without meeting with more or
less of such twaddle as the above. True.

ton, and adapted to the wants Of differ
ent class Of readers from those the above
was prepared for. Still it is the same
tune after all, and the amount of it all is.
Republicsnism encourages the equslizs'
ton and Commingling Of the races, and
thus the black element is, if Republicanism
prevails, destined to creep into our popu'
lation until ours becomes nation OF
mulattos. A sombre anticipation surely
II liz, we know, almost inexc usable to
treat such folly with seriousness, still there
are truths connected with the subject
which Il will do no harm to state The
truth is, Repubiicanism does not ELI
courage the commiugling Of the races, but
the opposite principle does, and all om
history comes up to confirm the assertion
1t was by men holding the same VOWS al
those held by modern Democrats that thu
blacks were first introduced, and after tina
in ration OF increase, they rapidly out
stripped the whites i'll every part Of tn
country and it was not till Republican
principles prevailed IN the North tina
this ration was changed. Since then the

ration than the whites, but in some State
they are actually on the decrease. /
States where the 10 called Democrat
rules however, we find that the black
maintain the advantage in comparativ

1t was tho same spirit which now an
