OFFICE OF THE New ENGLAND LOYAL
PUBLICATION SOCIETY, No 8, STUDIO BUILD g.
Boston, Jan. 23d, 1865.
EDS. STATESMAN, WaHa WaHa, ". T:-The
Directors of the New England Loyal Publica-
tion Society request you to favor them with
reply to the following questions.
l. Have you made use of the broadsides
which the Society has heretofore sent you in the
making up of your paper; and if so, have you
made use of them frequently or seldom?
@ Are the opinions which the Society has
maintained in its publications generally accep-
table in your region?
3. What is the feeling in your neghborhood
in regard to the admission of the freed blacks to
the rights of citizenship
Per order,
j. B. THAYER, SECRETARY.
As the foregoing letter came to us in printed
form, we suppose there is no impropriety in our
re-printing it, and giving it a conspicuous
place in our columns; and besides, this loyal
matter ought to have wide circulation and be
made known to the public in general. There
fore we take this newspaporial method of
answering the questions.
To the first interrogatory, then, we have to
say that we have made no use whatever of the
Societys "broadsides' in the making up of our
paper, for the reason that we considered them
unfit for the columns of any respectable paper.
To the second question, we answer that the
opinions maintained by the Society in their pub
LEGATIONS are not generally acceptable in this re-
gion, though a small minority endorse them.
To the third, we reply that the feeling in this
neighborhood in regard to the admission of the
freed blacks to the rights of citizenship is de-
cidedly hostile thereto. The people of this sec
ton have not yet attained that "high moral cul-
ture" which predominates to such an enlarged
extent in most loyal Massachusetts, and which
exults in the belief that .he African is the equal
if not the superior, of the white American citi-
zen. Our people reject the idea accepted by
the people of Massachusetts, that call men are
equal" They cling to the prejudice, if it is a
prejudice, that the white is the superior race
that nature endowed the white race from the
| beginning with superior mental powers; and
that no amount of legislation or education can
alter this condition of things In brief, our
people, at least large majority of them, are
unalterably opposed to negro equality and their
admission to the rights of citizenship. If Mas
sachusetts thinks it is a good thing, we have no
/ objections; but let her 'sply her vocation" in
her own dominions, for we of this latitude
can't perceive the beauties to result from a
miscegenation policy
FROM WASHINGTON Geo. E. Cole writes
-S.- iv" Irnes from washington City, under

ritory, on the Steamer which sails the Sd of
March He says there will be nothing done by
way Of legislation for the Territories during the
last three or four days of the session, so that
will leave no business unattended to by starting
at that time"
| In regard to the next Delegateship, Mr. Cole
writes: II shall be candidate before the
Democratic Convention for the nomination l
would like to have the Democracy advised of
the fact. do not desire my friends to enter
into any scramble to secure my nomination, but
simply desire the fact known that am a can
didate, so that if my nomination is desired, it
can be secured by sending delegates to the Con-
yention favorable thereto. Should another be
the preference of the Convention he will receive
my cordial and aetive support. Let there be a
general interest taken in securing full and
fair representation in the Convention, and then
let its choice be supported by ALL DEMOCRATS"
CHINESE TROUBLES AT ORC F1xo-We are in
formed that the Cinnamon who lately went to
the Orc Fino mines, met with a disagreeable re-
ception on their arrival there, from q party of
resident miners who opposed their coming. The
Chinese were notified that they must leave, and
after "free fight" in which the moon-eyes
come off second best, they skeedaded toward
Lewiston. On this information reaching here,
some parties who were about to start for these
mines, concluded not to go, as their operations
depended upon the introduction of Chinese la
Dor in that locality.
