irrepressible colored person has brought the
party politics of the United States. There
was time when IL was thought that he was
IN fair way 70 be gotten rid of-when men
were beginning to exclalm with feelings of
relief concerning him as was said of Cataline

the fugitive and bring him back again, and
10 make him more inveterate and irrepressible
than ever.

sooner are they formed than their effect ap-
pears 10 be 70 instate him more firmly in
them than be was before No sooner is the
anti-negro candidate or party visible, than
he or 1t ls called upon TO answer questions as
to the quality or extent Of the anti-negroism.
