ows u. The Democracy mean peace why
should they eqnivocate and shrink from
| the confession an We cannot understand
/ The logic OF the above, nor, indeed does
the writer himself, else no such nonsense
mise, lei us see what is ia truth the logical
consequences, and hence the duty Of the
Northern Democracy in the fall OF elec-
ticns. The administration means emancl-
patton" Well what does emancipation
mean Surely no citizen, no American, no
white mao, woman or child in all this
broad land is a slave, or needs enane pa
lion. II is then negroes-fonr millions OF
negroes in the South-ihai are 10 be s'enlan-
cipaied." Bui God has made them dill
fetsni and subordinate beings, and they are
in their normal condition and natural rela-
ton TO the eight millions of white citizens
What then, can Mr.. Lincoln do He can-
moi set aside The work OF the Almighty, or
''aboish' this natural su5ordination of the
negro. His physical structure, his brain,
in word, his organic inferiority cannot be
changed .he millonih part OF an aiom by
hundred millions instead of five hundred
thousand bayonets TO enforce his design.
With the physical structure untouched, with
the gross organism, the small brain and big
nerves still The same, of course the mental
and moral qualities remain intact. Hs is
still The almighty nigger," the same crea-
iure :hai God made, and fashioned, and
designated at the beginning, different and
subordinate being, ndNthough fifty m i'll ions
of white men sacrifice their lives and waste
their subsistence TO "abolish'' the eternal
order or TO ''emancipaie" this inferior crea-
lure, their work is in vaiE, for that which
.he Almighty has fashioned and shaped,
human power, madness nor CRIME eau
never modify 10 the extent of even an eIe-
| menlary atom.
1t is simply absurd therefore, 10 speak
OF emancipation in the case OF tie negro,
or any other naturally inferior creature.
But while God does not permit Us 10 enlan-
cipaie, abolish, change or modify other
creatures, He does not permit US to go mad
and abolish ourselves a husband cannot
change The sex or nature of his wife, or
abolish the natural inieriortyo his children,
but he may so depauch aud degrade his
own faculties as to sink, even in his physi-
cal capacities blow their level So, too,
white community, as The SpaniardsinN Mex
leo, &C., may degrade themselves by Sim
partial freedom" with subordinate race.
This then. is what "Old Abe" proposes 10
DO in respect TO negroes. He has issued
proclamation that the eight millions of
white people in the South be degraded 10
10 common standard, or "ipanial freedom"
with ionr millions Of naturally suborninale
negroes, and il he can bring armies suffi-
cient in the field, say fifty millions OF so,
WHY he will succeed-not, il is true, in
changing iae nature of one single white
man or negro, bul in exlermioaling the
former. True, he fancies, and his lunatic
followers fancy, that they are emanripa-
ling "sIaves," or lifting negroes TO The eyel
of whites; bot God not permitting this, they
are simply striving to degrade :he latter TO
a level, or into 'simpsriial freedom" with
negrodom ; and every white life lost, and
every drop of blood shed, and every dollar
wasted, are not 10 emancipais negroes, but
TO degrade our own superior race. Ii is
rue that the men fighting in tie field do
not know this or mean this, and, as recent
ly wrote Mr.. Lincoln to a War Democrat
"You may believe you are fighting for the
Union TO your hearts content, as Iorg as
g r. l. -
time will assuredly come when they will
truly understand that " work" and then the
day OF judgemeu. and the end of the world
will also have come to those who have
worked them.
If, therefore, the war could be successful
and eight millions OF our own race SO de
gradeed, destroyed. beaten down, abject
and miserable as to submit TO emancipa-
lion, or 'simpatiaI freedomn with four mil
lions of negroes, then we should no; ohly
Iican institutions, but our civilization, and
indeed our mere territorial unity, for il
would then fall helpless conquest 10 some
unaduHeraled ration of the old world, as
Mexico is now being conquered by france.
Is it not certain that, If MIR. Lincoln were to
resign the government into the hands OF
Chief Josiice Taney, or was TO issne proc
Iamaiion that the Constitution should be
administered as it was by all his predeces-
sors, and that negroes could moi be citizens
or amalgamated into the political system
that the Union would be restored within !
The next sixty days, and without the she'd
ding of one single drop of blood in the in
tefval Is it not then absolutely ceitain
that We are lighting, not for negro liberty or
emancipalion-fof God, as We have said,
does not permit Us 10 destroy ourselves by
amaIgama,ing four millions of negroes in
our system
This, then, is the issue, The true issue
the only issue before the country Shall
