Triumph of Republican Principles In ia
maiCa,

We have been carefully watching the Re-
publican press TO see what policy would
guide its discussion of the negro publican pol.
itics in Jamaica. One would be led to think,
from the perusal of the Tribune, Times, For
neys Press, and other Republican journals,
that sort of drunken brawl has occurred in
some town in that Island, which the police
had suppressed in few minutes.
twithstanding the most reliable informa-
tion is received by every mail Of the murder
ing, torturing, burning, and other unheard of
cruelties, committed By the negroes on the
white women and children and men in va
rious parts Of Jamaica. The Republican papers
only notice it as an "ombredk." When we
hear that :hese negro fiends have been organ
lied and drilled by leaders, who no doubt
have been nstigated to their deeds an6 plans
by these very Republican journals, it Is no
wonder the advocates of "equal rights" and
the "poltical rights" which the negro is en-
titled to vino flights" should be stupidity
dumb on considering the consequences Of
!heir preaching and teaching.
We have been told by the Republican press
that the negro is equal to the white man "if
he had a chance" In Jamaica, for thirty
years, the negro has been educatfd in schools,
= taught to read and write, been subject to no
disqualification on account of color" He
has bad social and political equality for years;
~ hac sbo ri oh IF fro oil liuihl 10 tO
Office all the rights which the negro publ
can party in this country ask FOR the negro
here. Yet, after years of such advantages
and privileges, he is still the negro cruel,
relentless, brutal. We defy history to show
more diabolical character than this Republic
can coup d. etdt in Jamaica has manifested.
All that has been done for the negro his
emancipation by England, his humanitarian
treatment by its laws and pol cy, his invest
ment with social and political rights, has left
him unfit for any other relation than super
vised and controlled condition. Nay in the
the light of the burning homes of the VIII lite
man, in the agoDes Of his death, in the cruel
ties to his defenceless wife, sister, mother
and daughter, which negro equality has at
last exhibited in Jamaica, as its legitimate
consequences, we assert that the negro must
be subjugated race. Justice, humanity,
God, has so ordained it.
When Simon Cameron addressed the "nig-
ger soldiers" at his mansion the other day, he
q did not refer to the Repub can victory in
+ Jamaica, which neg roes, with arms had ac-
% ucomplished. No. Why is it that Greeley,
Forney, Raymond, Stevens, Sumner and the
d, negro pubcans, ARE so mute over the tri-
umph OF their principles and friends In Ja-
- maica 2 Why is it =? Can it have any infu-'
ence in preventing the triumph Of outrage in
the organization Of the House Of Represen ia
tiyes at W ashington in December next
We assert that the negro publican press
have avoided all men ton Of the rtCtory o.
the,r friends and principles aud policy M
JAMAICA, for fear it will interfere with the
triumph Of the same friends AID principles
and policy in organizing the House Of Repre-
sentatives at WASHINGTON.
~ IL needs be- rather than obey the Constr
tuition and admit the States Of the South.
Stanton's negro troops will be called Upon TO
celebrate the Jamaicaism Of negro publican
politics at Washington.
To such state of anarchy and revolution
has the violation of the Constitution by the
Republican party brought upon our country
and the white man God of Heaven ! save
Che liberties Of this people.-Patriot f. Un-
Ion.
