of len who were formerly Know-Nothings-
an,while their love for the negro has greatly
Inceased, their delestation Of foreigners has in
no wise abated.
lat it Is not alone from their journals that
we earn this warm Republican affection for
the1egro. It is sentiment that pervades the
massof 'hat party, and finds utterance on all
OCCASIONS. Let US quote from the men who
moulIed the Republican party, and who breath
ed inc it the breath of life-men who have
alwa,S sustained If, and who have received
fromi high official favors. And as a man by
marrying woman, in the language Of the law
adopts her circumstances, SO the Republican
party, b. eIectng these men to office, adopted
and endrsad their declared political opinions.
And frs, from Governor Chase, OF Ohio, now
prominat Republican candidate for the Presi
dency. He said
"I embrace with pleasure this opportunity OF
declaring my disapprobaton with that clause
/ in the Constitution which denies TO a por-
tion OF the Colored People the right OF suf-
rage"
Agaia, he said
"The exclusion of colored children from the
schools is, in my Judgment, a clear infringe
ment OF the Constitution and palpable breach
of trust"
And still again:
81 want to see. slavery overthrown and IN
tend to help 10 oyerturn is power"
tI ,uaut ~ anl,pou,IsJraJ fbaF cOlorad panDlp
have rights and privileges which they do not
now enjoy"
And now let The Ajax ofthe party, JOSHUA
R. GlDDHas, declare himself. In the last Re-
publican State Convention Of Ohio, Mr.. Giddings
said
"The negro is HeauenIy Institution, and 1t
is God-like in man to elevate him to an eguaIi-
IN wiih the lchite."
And Mr.. Giddings thus delivers himself
Though the Ashtuba Sentinel. This is a choice
morceau, aad deserves attention
aIgger6y are S1bsrtt6o, S1 TO- some Demo-
mass Of the Democratic party asS Sseet Sse..t
Democrats are superior 10 some niggers, and
perhaps to the greater portion of the African
race. Yet all Democrats, howeDer intellectually
inferior they may be to niggers, are entitled
to live, and to enjoy their liberty, and the
fruits of their labor. And while we are en-
deavorng to sustain these equal and universal
rights we ought not be drawn into any discus
sion of the moral or social superiority of the
niggers over The Democrats.
Mr.. Giddings, be it remembered, is the Chair
man Of the Republican Committee Of the State
at large, in Ohio. Such sentiments be has
uttered during his whole life, and be has time
and again, since their utterance, been honored
with high official position by his Republican
brethren.
Let US now hear BENJAMIN F. WADE, Black
Republican United States Senator from Ohio,
who in a speech at Columbus said;
81 loath from the bottom of my soul, any man
who refuses TO anything in human shape, all
the rights and privileges he claims for bimself
all are created By one God and all are entitled
10 the same privileges"
Ma. WAsHBURN, Republican member
of Congress, said at a Republican meeting
oIf because stand up for the eqaaiHy Of the
negro, socially and politically, with the white
man, they call me negro worshiper, let them
do IT. l shall persevere to the end"
The Republican members of a committee in
the Ohio Senate, concluded a report to that
body as follows;
"The Committee conclude :heir labors by
submitting two resolutions ; recommending an
/ 80 gbo ('opct nj iOD bv u,h1rh tho
elective franchise shall be extended 10 colored
men,"
And now, finally, let US hear the State
Journal, the official Republican organ Of Ohio ::
Gas far as the right Of suffrage or any other
right of citizenship is concerned he (the negro)
should be placed on an equality with the rest
of mankind"
Such, reader, is the creed of the Republican
party-the object it is aiming to accomplish is
the elevation OF the black man and the de-
gradation of the white. We learn it from the
only source from which party's creed can be
Iearned-from the declarations OF its recogn-
lied leaders and the teachings of its journals.
The belief in negro equality is not confined
to certain localities, but is -ap,dly spreading.
Here in Pennsylvania-in the heretofore con-
serva.ive old keystone State-evea here in
Bedford county,. the abominable doctrine has
been proclaimed and defended.
