Design Of the Government.

The Government. for the last year, seems
to have been sctuated by a single design,
and that,t liberation and ensranchissmeGt
Of the negro slaves Of the South.
The emancipation proclamation and the
enlistment Of negroes into the service on
an equal footing with white soldiers. pre-
pares the way for the accomplishment of
the design that has been 30 near the hearts
of AbolitionistS for 60 many years-the
elevation of the negro to perfect social,
moral and political equality with white
citizens, or, in other words, the reduction
of the white man to the same level with
the negro.
This is the design of the Abolition rulers,
as fOrshaddowed plainly enough by their
policy. The freeing and armiDg of ne
groes, must, as matter of necessity and
justice, according to the doctrines Of the
dominant party, be followed by putting
them on an equal footing with the white
citizens.
All distinctions Ct races are to be swept
away, that the negro may be elevated to
the place never designed for him by nature.
Dor own race is to be sacrificed to the At
rican, that the Abolition cormorants may
still bold their lucrative places of power BY
the aid of negro votes. Whilst the cry OF
negro freedom is on their lips, the cause OF
negro equality and negro citizenship Is in
their hearts.
The question to be decided now is, moi
90 much whether the rebellion shall be put
down and the Union restored as it was. as
whether the whole frseNorth shall be Afri
canizsd, or more properly speaking, whether
the frsemeD of the North shall be made
| slaves.
1t was this negro equality aud negro
citizenship design that called out the eman
cipation edict and the adoption of the pc IL
cy Of making soldiers of the negroes. This
no sane man will pretend to deny. 1t was
this same de sign that caused President
Lincoln to REJECT the overtures from Louis
lana and North Carolina for the return oil
those States to the Union with their former
institutions and rights. And it was this
negro equality design that caused the Ad
ministratioD TO refuse to listen 10 PROPOSE
tions for peace, that have been twice pre-.
ferred By the southerners.
The war, which was avowedly COM
menced for the restoration of the Union
has been perverted to the purpose of ne
gro emancipation and total destruction o
the ties that should bind q willing people
together. Prosecute for the aVowed pur.
pose Of suppressing the rebellion, its policy
lie directed by the wishes of the fanatic:
who have been laboring to free the slaves
| for the last ten years.
The Democracy have entered their pro.
test against the negro equality policy Of
the present Administration. They do NOT
want the whole North AfricaDized. As to
slavery, they desire to leave it where the
constitution left it-with the people of the
