IN Oh reproach by the party opposed to
ho Democracy. The equality Of the ne
Hrocs with the whites, politically first, and
socially, to considerable extent necessari-
is one of the great strings which Repub-
Can presses and orators are drumming
pm their ''harp Of a thousand Some few
leny that such is the result desired by
prthern agitators but the denials are grow
rs few and faint, and the time is not far
Istant when the leaders will boldly ayow
mass convention what they now indi-
ectly advance. We have no fault to find
nth men who sincerely believe themselves
htitled to no higher place in the scale of
politics than the Authenticated we arc
Fady to admit, in its application to them
Dives, the justice of the position which
they assume; but while they are so loudly
Inphilanthropic as to demand their own abase-
(ent, we hope they will listen to the yet
pconyerted masses Of whites who regard
he doctrine as destructive of social order.
There are men who believe that this gov
trnment was made by white men and for
1 the benefit, particularly, of white men, and
y such believers cannot readily be brought
into profession of that faith which sees no
distinction of races where the Almighty
has SO broadly marked it, and where history
and observation has so thoroughly proved
It. If there are any considerable number
of the people of the north who desire to
render our laws more inviting to the free
Rnegroes Of the Northern States and of Can
ada, so as to plant them Immediately along
idle of our native and adopted citizens who
Lbor for their bread, they should be can
Hid enough to explain to such white labor
hrs that negro competition mith them in
aeh toaon and neighJorAood Of Ioaeo, will
pc tenfold more injurious to free labor here
than would the settlement and admission of
slave States in line Of latitude where
white labor cannot flourish. Most intell-
gent people see what effect negro emigra-
Jon of 200 would produce in the laboring
demands of an Iowa village Of 1000 inhab-
itants, and if the villagers were asked to
vote for such emigration, decided NO
would be their verdict This being the
case, it may be well to consider how far the
removal of disabilities and the investment
Of political rights may cause an influx of
this class of unfortunate beings If this
is not desired, let us put our influence
and votes in that scale which will tend to
exclude them.
The New Albany CIndiana) Ledger has
the following on the subject which heads
this article:
In what community into which it has
forced itself, has abolitionism brought addi-
tonal peace, additional prosperity, addi-
tional good feeling? Where are the people
better or more humane or more kindly dis
posed? Where are the churches more
united, more harmonious, exhibit more
hrotherly feeling, and more love for God
and His creatures, because the minister
breaches abolition discourses? Echo an.

in its march through the country, has, like
the cholera or the plague, left ruin, desola.
