MIsCEGENATION-wHAT 1T MEANS
REMARKABLE CONFESSION OF A
REPUBLICAN JOURNAL.
The Yankees, says the Richmond Examiner are
running mad in their love for the negro. MOI
content with sacrificing one million of lives of
their own men in this war for the negro. (ss
confessed by q New York paper)--pot content
in receiving them "with marked favour" at the
Presidents reeeptions-not content with riding
in the same car with them-not content in hav-
ing them as pall~bearers at the funeral of theif
great public men, Zone of the pall,bearers at
Owen Lovejoy's funeral was, according to their
own accounts, a negro, formerly slaye)-
content with making soldiers of them, and
placing them on political equality-not con-
tent with all this, the Republican party, in
their wild love for the negro, has iDaugurated
new chapter in their creed: "Miscegenationv
"a aoa0lesa1e iDternsGariage of blacks anda]sates.
This is the last and new phase of abolitionism
in the North. 1t is openly and unblusngly
avowed-pr preached even from the pulpit It is
the new test of Republican faith. To show
how rapidly and aiarmingly the infamous and
disgusting practice Is spreading in the North,
we copy portion of an editorial on the SUBJ
ject from the New York Times. The reader
must bear in mind, when reading the article
below, that it is the language, not of q cooper
head" journal, but of thorough, out and out
Republican journal-an open, voluntary confess
sion 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 encour-
agement of this war as any other paper in the
whole North. Now that it sees ruin and de-
gradation and level with the negro staring it
In its face, it is forced to confess (and very
humiliating confession it is for Republican
paper) that the only quarter to which the ooun-
try can now look to be saved is the Democrat
io party. But let no one fail to read this arti-
cle--let it be circulated in every Southern pa
per far and wide-let it be read, if necessary, to
our army. If there is q man in the whole
South that can read this confession below With
out firing his heart and causing. feeling of
shame that we should ever have lived with

every sense of honor, pride and virtue.
From the New York Times
WHAT ARE WE COMING TO
= A rage for marrying black
people has lately taken possession of the Repub
lican party. Radicals have carried everything
before them, If things go on at their present
rate it is feared that. in three months, every
white man who is not connected by marriage
with coloured family will be tread out" of
the party. The gusto with which the aboli-
tionists 80 into the insane movements some
thing at once distinguished 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 hard>
ly family in the city belonging to the Repub-
lican persuasion which viii not be glorying in
the possession of negro son-in>law. 1t is said,
we know not with what truth, that the Union
Legaue Club has fitted up night bell at its
door, and keeps black minister on the prem
ses who marries all couples OF different colours
at any hour the day or night. Soon we may
expect to hear of dnels being fought about some
black washeFswoman, and crowds of white men
thronging the Easements of those families who
have coloured servants in their houses for the
purpose of soliciting the honor % Of their
hands.
10 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 out
set conceived it possible that hostility to slavery
would ever have led to wholesale intermarris
age with negroes, the Republican party should
never have received any countenance or sup
port from this journal. We oweit to ourselves
and to posteritY to say that the thing has ta-
ken Us by surprised. 1t never entered our
head. We now see and confess our errour and
deplore it.
The question which now naturally suggests
itself to every right-minded white man and
woman is, where is this thing to end With
er are we tending2 What is to be done to stop
this unnatural and detestabe movement. For
it is as plain as a pikestaf that if it continues
there will be soon no whites left in this once
great and prosperous country. Weshall all be
malattoes, and be afflicted with all the peculiar

race. The signs OF this great and terrible
change already begin to make themselves man
ifest in our streets for the most careless observ
er who walks down Broadway can hardly fail
to observe the appearance on vast number of
faces of the well-kn brownish tinge. Let
that tinge once become general, and then fare
WE'LL long farewell, to all our whiteness.
There is bit one quarter-and we are not
ashamed to own it--in which, in our opinion,
we can look for either help or comfort az this
crisis, and that is TO the great old, truly nations
al Democratic party. It has its faults nobody
has been forced to call attention to them often-
er than we; but it has never yet proved false
to its race, and we are satisfied that whatever
can be done now will be done by it to preserve
the purity of our blood.
SUGAR FROM CHINEsE SUGAR CANE.-It has
