!. 's.Eliscegenation' the new term for
amalgation-ls the last and newest phase
If abolitionism at the North--openly and
unblashingly avowed, and preached even
from the-pu!pit. The New York Times
makes thefollowing remarkable confession
about the matter:
WHAT ARE WE COMING To?
% II Esgo Tor marrying black
people has lately taken possession, of the
Republican party. The Radicals have
carried everything before them, and if
things gu Oh at their present rate it is
feared that, in three months, every white
man who is not connected by msrriage
with q. .colored family will ibs,s read out'
ofthe party. The 'gnsto with which the
aboli.ionists 90 into the insane movement
is something at once disgusting aad alarm.
ing. We shrink from putting on paper
=the stories which reach .us usSb. The pre-;
yalence ofthis evil. We will. only say
that there will very soon be hsrdly3 q
family in the city belonging to the .Repub-
.lican persuasion which will not be glory
ing in the possession Of anegro son-in-law.
It's said, we know not with what truth,
that the Union League Club has fitted up
night bell al its door, and keeps black
minister on the premises who marries all
couples of different colors ut any hour of
.,he day Or night. Soon we may expect
to hear Of duels being fought about some
black washer women, and crowds of white
men thronglns the easements of those
families who have colored servants in their
houses for the purpose of soliciting the
honor 9( of their hands. :.
1t is with great reluctance that we speak
out our minds in this matter. But We
have no hesitation in saying that if we he'd
at the, outset conceived it possible that
hostility to slavery would ever have. led
to wholesale intermarriage with negroes,
the Republican party should never have
received any ccuntenance or support from
this journal. We owe it to ourselves and
to posterity to say that, the thing has ia.
ken us by eurprise. ltnever'entered our
head. We now see and confess our error
and deplore 1t.
| The question which now naturally sug.
gests Itself to every right.minded white
man and woman is, where is this thing tc
ends Whittier are We tending? Wha,
is to be done to stop this unnatural and
detestable movement? Forit is as plain
as pike staff that if it continues there
will be soon no whites left in this once
great and prosperous country. We shall
all be mulattoes, end be afflicted with all
the peculiarities, both mental and physi
cal, of that unhappy race. The signs O
this great and terrible change already be
| gin TO make themselves manifest in oul
streets, for the most careless observer who
walks down Broadway cen hardly fail tc
observe the appearance Ola vast number
of faces of the well known brownish tinge
Let that tinge once become general, and
then farewell, to all our whiteness.
There is but one suarter-and we are
not ashamed to own .it--in which. in oul
opinion, we can look for either help OF
comfort, at this crisis, and that is to the
great, old, truly national Democratic par
! ty. It has its faults; nobody has beer
forced to call attention to them oftenel
than we; but it has never yet proved false
to its race, and we are satisfied that what
ever can be done by it will be done tc
preserve the purity Of our blood.
The PuxcTUAL MIAMI. Higgins
wss very punctual man in oil his trans
actions through life. fIe amsaed large
fortune by untiriug industry and pnnctu
atty; and at the advanced age of ninety
years was resting quietly on his bed, and
calmly waiting to be called away. lie
had deliberately made almost every ar.
rangsment for his decease snd burial.
His pulse grew fainter, and the light Of
life seemed just fickering in its sockets
when one of his sons observed:
"Father, you will probably live but 9
day or two; is it not we'll foryou to name
your pail bearers 2"
"To be sure, my son." sad the dying
man. sit is well thought OF, and will
do it now"
He gave the names of six the usual
number and sank back exhausted upon
his pillow.
A CLEAN of thought passed over his
withered features like ray o. light, and
he rallied once more. "M! son read
me the list. Is the name of Nr. Wiggins
there 2"
sit is, father"
Then, strike it off" said 1e emphati.
cally, "for he was never purctual-was
never anywhere in season, aud he might
hinder the procession whole hour"

old fellow in the State of Maine who

apt than philosopher. Heonce heard
