The Yankees are running mad in their
lore for the negro. Not content with sacri-
6cing one million of lives Of their own men
in this war for the negro, Gas confessed by
a New York paper)-not content with re-
ceiving them with "marked favor" at the
Presidents receptions-pot content with
riding in the same car with them-not con-
tent IN having thsuras pail:bearers at" the
funeral of their great public men, Gone of
the pall,bearers at Owen Lovejoy's funeral
was, according to their own accounts, ne
gro, formerly slave )-not content with
making soldiers Of them, aad placing them
on political equality-not content with all
this, the Republican party, in their wild
love for the negro, has inaugurated new
chapter in their creed: "Miscegenation"-
a a0hozesale antermarriage Of blacks and
aohstes. This is the last and new phase
of abolitionism in the North. 1t is openly
and unblushingly avowed-preaehed even
from the pulpit! 1t is the new test of Re-
publican faith. To show how rapidly and
alarmingly the Infamous and disgusting
practice is spreading in the North, we copy
portion of an editorial on the subject from
the New York Times.
The reader must bear in mind, when read
ing the article below, that it is language,
not of a "Copperheaf' journal, but of a
thorough, out and out Republican journal
AN open, voluntary confession of paper
that has. never faltered in its support and
devotion to the principles of that party, and
that has done as much in advocacy of the
Lincoln administration and the encourage
ment of this war as any other paper in the
whole North. Now that it sees ruin and
degradation and level with the negro
staring it in its face, it is forced to confess
(aud very humiliatipg confession it is for
Republican paper) that the only quarter
to which the country can now look to be
saved is the Democratic party But Jet no
one fail to read this article-let it be circu-
lated in every Southern paper far and wide
let it be read, if necessary, to our army.
If there is man in the whole South that
can read this confession below without fir
ing his heart and causing feeling of shame
that we should ever have lived with such
a people, then he must be dead indeed to
every sense of honor, pride and virtue:
WHAT ARE WE COMING TO?
* * A rage for marrying black peo-
pie has lately taken possession of the Re-
publican party. The Radicals have carried
everything before them, aud if things go Oh
at their present rate, it is feared that, in
three months, every white man who is not
connected by marriage with colored fami-
ly will be- ''read out" of the party. The
! gusto with which the abolitionists 60 into
the insane movement is something at once
disgusting and alarming. We shrink from
putting on paper the stories which reach us
as to the prevalence of this evil. We will
only say that there will very soon be hardly
family in the city belonging to the Re-
publican persuasion which will not be glory
ing in the possession of a negro son.in.law.
1t is said, We know not with what truth,
that the Union League Club has fitted up a
night bell at its door, and keeps black
minister on the premises who maries all
couples of different colors at any hour of
the day or night. Soon we may expect to
hear of duels being fought about ssme black
washerwomas, and crowds of white men
thronging the Easements of these families
who have colored servants in their houses
for the purpose of soliciting the honor %
of their hands.
It is with great reluctance that we speak
out our minds in this matter. But we have
no hesitation in saying that if we had at the
5 outset conceived it possible that hostility to
slavery would ever have led to wholesale in
ltsrmarEiage with negroes, the Republican
