MISCEGENATION.

cross. we suppose, is to form the "new na.

party, that is to grow out of this war. This,
then, is to be the result of the armies los.
and treasures wasted. 1t has been a war not
for union of the country, but for a union
of the whites and blacks! The republican
party are sincere in this miscegenation
movement; for while they have betrayed
the country and proven false to the constitu-
ton, they have ever been true to their faith
in the negro. The doctrine Of mscegena alton
is endorsed by the republican leaders. The
New York Tribune is in favor Of il: 40 is the
New York Independent, paper that, by
authority, publishes the laws of congress; 90

the republican congress with higher Difference

Miscegeneion is to be extended, if there
be any virtue in active efforts on the part
of the republican party They have issued
pamphlet in support of this fanatic doctrine,
and the views it advocates is net forth 40
follows:
"Miscegenaion: the theory of blending
the races, applied to the American white
man and the negro. Among the subjects
treated of are
|. The mixture of Caucasian and African
blood essential to American progress.
2. How the American may become

3. The type man is miscegen-,he sphynx
riddle solved.
A. The Irish and negro first to comminple.
5. Heart histories OF the daughters of the
south.
6. Mscegene,ic ideal of beauty in woman.
7. The future: no white no black.
The programme is thus boldly presented
and the means mentioned by which we are
to change to a new nation" where tho
whites and blacks are all to be formed into
mulattoes.-a mulatto nation, to take place
OF the o.d nation of white men as formed bv
the fathers of the revolution. Wendell
Phillips says: II have no hope for the fu-
ture, as this country has no past, and Europe
has no past but in that sublime mingling Of
races which is gods own method of cviliznp
and elevaling the world" The Anti Slavery
Standard, of January SOtb, says: The fu-
tnre must decide how far black and white
are disposed to seek each other in marriage,
The probability is that there will be a pro-
gressive inermingling, and that the nation.
will be benefited by H." The Anglo Ameri.
can of January 23d, says: "The word. nav

presidential PLATFORM. It is disprace-

horses and pigs, while the human race is left
to grow up without scientific culture"
Here, then, is presented by the republican
party another "irrepressible conflict" They
first said this union could not maintain part
slave and part free-that there was an "rre
pressble couhlct" between the two. and that
i: would continue until all stood with the
same views. Now we are threatened with
another "irrepressible conflict" We are
told that we cannot fulfill our mission as a
nation part w''ite and part black, and that
"irrepresslble conflict" must continue until
the whites and blacks become one people
mulattoes! And to arrive at such consum,
nation so devouiy wished by the republi
cans, m'scegenation must be the rule, where,
by the union of races may be sanctioned the
doctrine of human brotherhood" and recog,
nized to imply "the right Of the black and
white to inermarry" In the language of
the pamphlet referr to:

races.
The next presidential election should 90,
cure to the blacks all their social and political
rights; and the progressive party should not
finch from conclusions fairly deducibe from
their own principles.
In the millenial future the highest type Of
manhood will not be white or black. but
brown, and the union of black with white in
marriage will help the human family the
sooner to realize its great destiny"
The doctrine is fairly presented. All op.
posed to miscegenation are to be denounced
as traitors to the country, and unworthy Of
being members of the new nation" ANY
