The Cleveland Plaindealer reports the elope-
ment of the wife of substantial farmer in the
town of Madison, Lake County, Ohio, with
"a f1ll-blooded negro" There is appended to
the report the following comment: Gan abo-
lton sentiment and an abolition literature
have prevailed in the farmers house for years.
This elopement is the legitimate result" The
Plaindealer is paper of the democratic per-
suasion, and we notice that OTHER papers of
that political synagogue copy what it says.
The Providence Post copies it. These gen.
temen probably know very well that it is
slavery that most carefully upholds and cher
shes amalgamatonism. 1t prevails on every
slave plantation, and is as common in the
south as slavery itself. Here at the north
it is exceptional, and public opinion brands
it as infamous; but, at the south, it
is very common; and some of the
foremost and proudest men, in some of the
proudest states in this Union, have mulatto
children that are held as chattels A very
large proportion of the fugitive slaves in Cana
da are children of white fathers. Proud and
prominent men in Kentucky, Tennessee, Vir-
ginia, and other slave states, have children
among these refugees. Our democratic friends
are not likely to attribute this state of things
to the prevalence of can abolition sentiment,
and an abolition literature" among the slave
holders of that state.
1t is not many years since the democratic
party elected to the vice presidency of the
United States, Richard NJ johnson Of Tennes.
see, who had a family of colored children. Mr.
johnson differed from other amagamatonists
in that quarter in one respect. He actually
married the mother of his colored children,
saved them from slavery, and bestowed
upon them all the care and kindness
which father owes to his children
Herein he was more honorable than some 9TH
ers, more just, more manly. But, our demo.
cratic friends will take notice that he was an
amalgamationist, like a great many OF their
political brethren in the south who do not be-
have as justly. The democratic journals cir
culate such mean talk as that Of the Cleveland
Plaindealer, not because they are opposed TO
amalgamationism, but because it is part of
their regular business to blackguard and libel
anti-slavery men. Truth will not serve their
purpose. Modern democracy can not bear the
plain truth. Therefore its friends invent false
hoods and libels. They are blackguards be-
cause the aims they follow and the party they
serve, do not allow them to be earnest men.
EDWARD BATES FOR LINCoLN.-The ST.
Louis Anzeiger DIES Westens says a letter may
be expected, in the course of few days, from
Hon. Edward Bates TO o. II, Browning of IL
linois, in which he will fully endorse both the
platform and the candidates of the republican
party, and counsel all the elements of opposi-
ton to unite in support of Abraham Lincoln
for the presidency, and not, by throwing away
their votes on hopeless candidates, (such as
Bell, help the democrats to victory" This
letter will confirm al that has been said of Mr..
Bates as an honest and honorable man, and a
good republican in principle and feeling 1t
will show how well he deserves the confidence
placed in him by the republicans of Missouri
