MISCEGENATE0N.

The reader will scarcely know how to pro-
n0unee this word. as it is not found in modern
dictionaries, and indeed it does not mattermuch
wetheri it be pronounced at all. The reader can
just call it suadrtes and read on. It is a real,
genuine, Abolition bantng, invented as a new
term for an old doctrine II two Greek words
pct together with an English termination, and
means a aainsd gene,'1ttoR, or a reproduction Of
teco races in one, or production that cor aims,
in equal quantities, the clements Of two distincs
antecedents II is the tern, or name Of the doc
trine that a white man ought to marry black
woman and raise a nsuatto offspring. The
Abolition party nov, argue that the races ought
to iRternarry, and thus produce more healthy
progeny. Nearly all the Republican papers now
favor this last link in the chain Of negro equal
ity. At first they only argued that the slas,s5
should be free 10 90 where he pleased, and to
labor for whom he desired They well knew
that if they would announce their real inben-
tlona al once, the moral sense Of the,communi-
ty would be so shocked, that the doctrine of a
malgamation would not gam q single disciple.
Ho1ce they conclaled to introduce the theory
or dogma, line by line and step by step AS
soon as they got the silly people to believe that
the siace would be better free, they argued that
ne ought to be a solder, and that he should eat
.fya and sleep with white men. The next prop
osition was that he should rte in the same cars.
Soon after this, they proposed and advocated
political equality After this dose was swallow
ed, the subject Of saca3l equality was paooted -
Still the simple ones did not imagine that the
party to which they belonged meant qnsalqaaaQ-
ton. But now comes the last and most nause-
ating dose of al, that Is, the two races must
intermarry and produce new race of mulat-
toes. Lest this new idea might shock the sense,
and insult the intelligence of the people, It has
been couched in an inconprehensible term--a
word that few viii at first understand. It is
only n nlisceqeacfioa of the races But, dear =
reader, it means nothing less and nothing more
than infermarriage with the negro, and the pro-
duction of the mnatto, and all who vote the
Republican ticket, vote for the dnoganafon. of -
the two races The new term may deceive as
many who do not believe the odious doctrine,
but it is now endorsed by all the intelligent lead
ers Of the Abolition Republican party. Horace
Greeley admits the truth of the interpretations ..
we give, ard declares that such a result is bet-ls'
ter than slavery 1t is horrible doctrine to so5
teach 30 the rising generation, but it is now pro-
muIgated as one Of the plctaks in the Republican
platform, both of the Frement and lincoln fac
tions, and Republicans must teach the doctrine
to their families, or else abandon their old party
connections. We can scarcely pick up Re-
publican newspaper that has not the long word
misceqeiaataon. somewhere in its columns, and the
doctrine either openly advocated, OF agaked az
BY the editors. Now is it possible that we are
drifting to so fearful &. destiny. Must the An
