Our Young and iiery friend down street, who ac-
knowledges our venerabcness, experience, cool.
ness and discretion, says he has not put himself to
any trouble to find out whether what We said
about "ncar relative of his declaring that Jesus
Christ was Democrat, was true or not, and adds:
But there is ono assertion that we will venture.
and that is-no Democratic reIatire Of ours said
they (he) would as leave their (his) daughter would
marry a negro as a white man! We have no such
men in our party. Guess our neighbor cannot say
as much.''
The reason our scholarly and critical ncighbor
did not put himself to any trouble to find out
whether our assertion was so or not, evinccs more
discretion than candor on his part But, let that
rest. We are satisfied if he is. Now, we hsos
put ourself to some trouble to find out what Re-
publican relafire Of ours ever said he would as
leave," his daughter would marry negro as a
white man." but hare totally failed to make the
discovery. and Go not believe any relative Of ours
ever made such remark. Ifhe alIudes to US, we
know the nimation has no foundation in truth.
But. will our neighbor assert that no Democratic
relative of his ever voted for min for high Of
fee who had negro wife? or, that scores and
scores of his Democratic friends do not have ncgre
mistresses7 Will he assert that it IL more of q
crime for white woman to marry q negro mar
than it is for white man to mlrry negro woman
or make mistress of her, as is practiced SO ex
tcnsi vcly among his Democratic iriends7 Wehavs
no practical amalgamationsts in the Republican

upon the question had better not be opened again

insist upon a change. We are willing, for their sat
isfaction. that the Congressional Committee APP
pointed at the last Convention, shall decide be-
