Ultimate pe.ls- e Of sAe R.a,s.A.


Five years ago it would have been use
less and absurd TO argue against negro
suffrage and DAcns equality. because the
public mind WAS utterly opposed to doc
trines so repugnant and atreeious, and
nobody pretended to entertain them.
Now the people Ct Minnesota are called
upon by the Voice aad action of the para
mount party, to render 8 decision upon
the question Surprising as 1t may seem
to rejecting man, this setregradatien in
public sentiment 10 called "pregress - and
what was formerly held TO be revolving
and degradiAg. Is new Promulgated as an
advanced idea of civilization, and urged
upon the white peoele Of this state as
most important issus presented to them.
If the negro suffrage amendment is
adopted, will tie radicals be satisGeda
This question 10 best answered by the fol-
lowing quotations from a political pamph-
let entitled "Miseegenation," issued by
Republicans, for the purpose Of "educat-
ing epeople" mp to the advanced idea
OF Aiscegenatioa and Amalgamation-s
blending of the white and black races.
This pamphlet, which has been widely
circulated and warmly approved iby many
of the leading minds Of the Abolition
party, saya, On page 1S: s'.'a ~ -A..... q

From pages forty-nine and fifty Of the
same pamphlet we quote: ~. .
When the President proclaimed emancipa-
ton, he proclaimed, also, the mingling Of the
races. he one fcIlops tie other as sure as noon
1ot!osos s,.nrise. The party. as whole, will
not adm1t this yet. They denied that they were
Abolitonists. And now behold! The great
Republican party has merged into the little
Abolition party. The drop has colored the
bucketfnu. There are only two parties now,
the Abolition, which in effect Is the party of
INCARCERATION, and behind them that contempt
tbae crowd who have no policy but expediency.
But We can give higher authority than
the above to prove that the ultimate de-
signs of the radicals contemplate amalga
nation. Hon SALMON P. CHASE, since he
attained the position of Chief-Justice Of
the Supreme Court, on his tour through
the Southern States, addressed various
rowds of negroes in language similar to
that We have quoted. In Florida he ad-
,vancsd the idea that t'the white race hal
become enervste,i, and that an infusion q
African blood, (meaning the amalgamatiOr
of the racs,) would alone save the whit.
race from decay and destruction. b!
repeated the same thing in his Dartmouth
College speech, in which he claimed tina
the negro is as competent to exercise tn
elective franchise as the white man. =
These developments of the progress o
the radicals, and OF their designs in tn
future, should cause every white man il
