Political EQUALITY OF BLACKS AND WHITES.

A SUPERSTITION
"All nations have their superstitions, and that
Of our people is the CONSTITUTIONAL Horace
Greeieg.
Greeley says then, that the abolition Of S1a-
rery IN the States is what he will work for as
soon as he sees it practicable. In the meantime
he works with Judge Douglas. or any one who
helps him TO accomplish IT, For once, therefore,
Douglas was counselling with an AyowED ADOLF
ZIONIST. This cannot be denied, for it is admit
ted by both Greeley and Douglas.
The result Of the interview was that greeley
adciscd the Republicans Of Illinois to cote for
Oouglos, aud it is now allowed that he never
could have been reelected without Greeley g
support. Did Greeley do all this without eXpec
ting any pay? Not a bit ofH. He is not that
kind of a man. How could pure hearted Dem
ocrat associate with vile creature who advo-
Gates the equality Of negroes and white men.-
who is in favor Of negro cote $. negro jurymen,
and even negro congressman Here is what
Greeley said Of the negro Fred. Douglass:-
NEGRO CoNGRESsMEN.
"Among the candidates put up by the conven-
ton of the liberty party at Utica on Wednesday
is Mr. Frederick Douglass, of Monroe county
who is nominated for the office of Secretary
of State With respect to ability. a better nom
ination couId hardly be desire !; but we confess

His proper place is not mem er of the State
administration at Albany, but as u member of
Congress at Washington. For the former Office
he possesses no qualifications that might not be
found in other gentlemen. While for the duties Of
a representative at Washington he is particular
ly gifted. As an orator and debater he possesses
both the force and the grace Of Il Virgini.n gen
tleman Of the old school. and one of the first
families, to which depth of conviction aud res
olution worthy Of the best days of the Rcplblic,
and apersuasive and magnetic charm not often
felt in the Federal capitol. We trust then that
the friends of Mr.. Douglass will not persist in
urging hi- election to the Office for which lie is
nominated. but will make every pr paraton to
return him to Congress on the very first vacancy
in the Monroe District Horace Greeley
an 1855.
What do Mr., Douglas southern supporters
think of this association. conferences, bargains,
and coalition with u man who avows such senti
ments? We will not state conclusions. These
are the ,fdcts. Let every man Judge for himself

But Greeley was not the only Black Republ-
can who was in the coalition. Anson Burlngame,
of Mass, the man who indorsed Summers speech
the gallant old Senator Butler, of S.
C.. WAS another. and who ran away to Canada
when challenged by the late Preston s. Brooks.
He was Tor Douglas. Here is the language in
which he endorsed Mr.. Douglas, in a speech on
the floor of the House of Representatives.
Il think it the first duty of Republicans to ey-
tinguish the doughlaces. but hold it aso their
duty to bear testimony as to the manner in which
the Douglas men-and they will pardon Inc for
giving them the name OF their gallant and gift
ed leaders to bear testimony to the manner in
which they have borne themselves. THEY hare
kfpt the taiM. Il say il is due to them
that we should say that they have borne the byunt
Of the battle, and that they, whether from New
York. Pennsylvania CT Illinois. have kept the
aohteneSs of their souls, and haze ndde q record
aohich has lain in light; and if my vote can have
any weight with the young men Of the country
where those men dwell, | should say to them,
Stand by these men aoiM all your young enthu-
siaSn. Stand 6y them With0m diStin ctiOn of

Here is Burlingame's political creed:
"What we want and what the country needs is
on anti-slapery Bible, and an anti-sldpesy God."

lie is the man who says also, that "the Doug

DOUGLAS AND Wilson.
The following is an extract from a letter writ
ten by Mr.. Pangborn, one Of the editors of the
Boston Bee and never denied by any one:-
''He (Senator WILSON, frequently remarked,
and in the hearing of many persons that he
hnew that Mr.. Douglas cas all righR and that
he intended to act acih the Repubicans? that
'the Republicans Of Illinois had committed Ia
tai mistake in running Mr. Lincoln, and in OPP
posing Mr.. Douglass re-election and that, but
for this course Of action. Douglas would certainly
be with the Republican party in 1867 He Of
ten stated that this was understood at Washing
ton; and he freely and emphatcally criticised the
action of Mr.. Lincoln's friends and declared his
own confidence in the purpose of Mr.. Douglas to
ieace the Democratic party and unite ciM as.
''Some other gentlemen, who has been at Wash
ngtOn during the lecompton contest, cOncurred
with Senator Wilson in his opinion; but | think
the great majority of the Republicans of Massa-
chusetts distrusted the correctness of Mr.. Will
son S judgment in this case, although they under
stood that Senator Wilson based his expressed
opinion of Mr.. Douglas position upon his ocn
personal hnoacledge Of that gentleman's inten-
tons"
Here are Wilson's political sentiments:
"Let us remember that more than three mil
lions of bondsmen, groaning under nnmeless
woes, demand that we shall reprove each other,
and that we labor for their doiverance.
II tell you here tonight, that the agitation of
this question will continue while the fact Of a
slave presses the soil ofthe american Repubiic."
Here we find Senator Wilson, another Abol-
zionist of Massachusetts, in favor of Douglas. be-
cause he says he knew Mr.. Douglas was all right.
and that he intended to act with the Republicans.
Well, is not Wilson right? Is Douglas not acting
with the Republican party? Is he not dividing
the Democratic party, and has not that been his
evident object ever since he commenced hisrevot
from its principles? The Black Republicans could
not ask more for returning him to the Senate
than his assistance in electng Lincoln to the
Presidency!
Thus far we have proved that this political
firm consisted of Douglas, Greeley, Buringame
