The Republican u.--eories Before the Peo-
PIE ures OF the Result.
The State of Connecticut is the first that is
called upon to give judgment through her po-
pular elections on the momentous question:
"Shall this Union be driven into state of an.
archy and blood?"
That is the true issue between the two par
ties whose leaders and orators are respectively
lection of political theories which, if adopted,
must involve this country in a sano,narp "'-;i
war The aim and object Of the black republi-
can party, with all the processes of develope-
ment Of its schemes, are now unf0lded. We have
seized its high priest-the master mind that
has worked out, years ago, the whole course of
the argument, from whose fountain the political
abolitionists and demagogues have drawn their
| thought, and brought him before the Judgment
seat of the people. The book of Lysander
Spooner, which we have held up to view in all
its fallacy Of inception and powerful logic
in argument, shows oenclusively the end
we must attain if the black republican party
succeed in obtaining the control of the govern
ment. 1t is proclaimed that no slave exists in
| the South by virtue of law, that writs of ha-
beas corpus must be issued to bring them be-
fore the federal courts, that federal judges
must decree their emancipation, that federal
armies must surround and sustain these courts
in the Southern States, and repress at the point
of the bayonet every attempt to resist this
violent and destructive dismemberment of the
social organization of the South. Nay, more :
it is proclaimed that every negro is to-day in
all respects the equal Of the white man-that
any slave is eligible to every Office, not except
| ing the Presidency.
The intentions Of our fathers who founded
the Union, and framed the constitution, are set
at naught; the practice of the government and
the understanding of the people are declared at
fault and the republican party insists that five
millions Of negroes are to-day citizens of the
United States and that we are henceforth to be
motley and mongrel people. Hitherto it
has been popular belief and popu-
lar pride that we were a nation of
whites, and of white men only. The Indian,
from the earliest times to the present, has been
denied citizenship; the African has ever been
held beyond the pale of our nationality; and
to-day the Chinese, who are pouring into our
Pacific States are resolutely withheld from an
admitted equality. The natural instinct of
the white man rebels against assimilation and
amalgamation with the inferior races. More
than that, we are convinced that to this fact
we have owed our progress and greatness as a
nation; and when We look upon the mongrel
communities south of u.s. we do not hesitate to
attribute their decay to the confusion of disso.
nant races, and the consequent decay of the su.
perior.
But now the black republican flag is un-
furled, and the white man alone is not to rule
the country. There are some stout facts that
oppose themselves to the triumph of this Mig

fashioned by the hand of industry; it supplies
us with cotton, sugar and coffee; and the ex-
change creates and gives employment to vast
fleets of ships and thousands of seamen. This
source of employment and wealth is due to

| system of domestic servitude established there.

this fact deny it, and claim that it is to the
