duty to try, FIRST and principally, to ele-
yate the best and highest race Of men, and
if nature has provided us with race OF
interiors, suitable for menials, we should
be thankful for circumstance which saves
from degradation beings Of higher order
1t is, no doubt, wise provision OF nature
for this purpose. Mankind will either
progress or go backwards, and sometimes
men mistake for improvement what is IN
reality deterioration. This will only last
for time: for soon test must always
come, and that will prove to the correct
observer, the fact of advance or decline.
If the trainers of the Declaration OF ln-
dependence, when they said call men arc
created equal" meant as the Commercial
asserts, "to include men of all races and
conditions for all time" it would, as we be-
fore remarked, make them either knaves
or fools, for when they signed the docu-
ment they were nearly all Shareholders,
and by ordinance of the Constitution and
statute laws they afterwards fixed the
status of the negro as one of servitude and
obedience. They are only equal whom
God has created equal. We have no faith
in the wisdom of the man who proposes to
undo the work of God, and it is true that
he who proposes such thing, is either a
lfanatic-that is a man who is but partially
in possession of the reasoning faculties
or knave. The latter class of men are
numerous enough, and will be, so long as
} men have higher regard for the possess
sion of wealth, than for the practice of
right and virtue. These men are corrupt,
dishonest, and seeking all the time for OPP
portunities to deceive somebody and gain
profit to themselves. The equality" that
these men have sought, was an equal con-
Idition of servitude and misery for all la
boring men, white and black alike. 1t has
never been intended to raise the ne
gro to the freedom and happiness that the
white man formerly enjoyed, but to pu'
the white man down with the negro. The
great object in putting the white man
along with the negro is to debase his char
acter and break his spirit so that he will
submit to despotism easily. These men
wish to ensave the labor Of the country,
because il is profitable to the manager oi
the idea besides, many of them having
got possession of large sum of money by
various frauds and dishonest practices
now aspire to be an aristocracy and the
= ruling class in the country. We may
! safely estimate that of the public expense,
more than half is profit to these blood
suckers. We see therefore how impor-
tant it is to them to have tho Abolition
policy made permanent in this country
/ The Democrats would expend fifty mil
! lions year. The Aboltionists will ex
pend from eight hundred to Thousand
r millions, and this is no temporary expense
b 1t is their intention to make this policy
. permanent and the expense will increaS'
year by year. The whole laboring popu
e lation is to be enslaved, reduced to th'
' level of the negro, and robbed by tn
t means of dishonest officials, composed o
pirates organized for the plumber of tn
o people. This is why they are so anxiou
Il to make it appear that their efforts ar
sanctioned by the men who framed tn
Declaration of Independence. We mus
:, get rid OF these men. 1t is no fancy pic
.. ture that we have drawn, but stern an,
bitter truth. A gang of men like FoRsRY
;, BUTLER, SEWARD and CHASE, supports
by million of lesser ones, all sharing til
spoils, are by lies and fraud and force t
keep in power and continue this abomina
BILE robbery. Is there a man among u
. so besotted with stupid ignorance as to be
licve such things to be right
