A Whitening Rebukc.

One week ago last Monday the Chicago
Times swung round the circle" and plant
ed itself upon the negro platform of the
Black Republican party. Since that time
every democratic journal perhaps in the
west have responded to the interogatory of
the Times, not one of which has responded
favorabiy, but on the other hand the apos>
tacy of that cOwardly, time, serving sheet
has met with withering rebuke from a
united democratic press
The Times can do either one of two
things back down from its present posi-,
ton fquarcly, or remain in the camp of
the enemy, whose leading spirits have
everywhere extended the Black Republi,
can hand of fellowship. fit backs down
the democracy will not trust it, should it re-
main with the radicals, where it properly
belongs. then democrats will know where
to find it hereafter
If the Times had any doubts as to the
determination ofthc democracy to hereafter
triumph through. the justic of their cause
they cannot bat be dispel.cd by the rebuke
administered through fearless outspokeu
democratic press. The Democratic party
although defeated, will never surrender
1t ship to niger crew-nor will it
accept of any proposition that looks to the
transfer Of its organization to tho camp Of
a tyranical and mercilc,s baud Of disunion

1t wants to keep the Democratic party
pure, and especially to guard Demo ratic
young la1ie, from the advances of negro
suitors, whose charms it thinks they could
not resist, il their sable admirers should be
advanced to the rank Of voters -Journal.
The journal ha. mistaken the drift of
our remarks. We never had any fear that
Democratic young ladies would misceoen-
ate with buck niegers, but have been ap>
prehensive that the corrupt teaching O.
radicalsm might have al evil influence on
the susceptible and sympathetic young
ladies Of the radical party, who arc being
carefully educated to believe that the pref
udice against color is absurd, and that
intelligence and good behavior are just as
attractive enveloped in a black skin as in
n white one Judging from the examples
of sundry gushing females sent South from
Massachusetts, to teach the young African
idea how to shoot, these fears are not alto
gethcr grounolcss. We advise radicals to
rest easy about the female "coppe.heads, ="
but to Keep careful watch and ward over
their own daughters. a niger, like vice,
is monster of hideou. mein, but we do
not think it prudent to let susceptible
young ladies, Of radical proclivtics, become
too familiar with his face, lest they should
by slow and easy stages be lei to first pity.

Some democratic journals and politicians
Seem very dcsrous TO have the democratic
party "cut loose from the President" and
write and talk as though with the accom-
pI>hment of the cutting loose" process
the democratic party would be on the high
way to success and it's former position in
the country. Now so far as we are con-
cerned, We do not propose to 'cut loose !"
We have never been attached to the Pres
idcnt or any other man, nor do We now
propose to tie fast to the tail Of the radical
Kite. So far as We hive found praiseworthy
acts In the course of Andrew johnson. SO
far We have commended him and .pplauded
his said acts, and shall continue to pur
sue this course. We think his views on
reconstruction are correct, and endorse the
views and not the man For his faults
We have no excuses to make, nor DO We
deslre so Falliatc them, but " hen he adopts
democratic principles and seeks to observe
the law and enforce the Constitution, wo
are with him. and .hall not "cut loose"
from what We believe TO be ri. hit, at the
order OF the Chicago T'n,cs or any other
journal or man

The World Washington special says :
An authoritative denial is furnished of the
story that Chief Justice Chase had an au-
dicncc with the President, relative to the
question of extending universal amnesty to
the South in return for partial suffrage.
His interview was relative to the causes
for the delay in the trial of jeff. Davis.
Judge Chase was not present with the
Cabinet, as stated.

Speculation is rife at Washington as to
the future policy of the President. IF one
were to believe all the stories Of newspa,
per correspondents there would be no tell
ing what the Presidents policy is now or
will be in future. He is now radical
then again copperhead, rebel and traitor.
We prefer to await his coming message to
Congress for definition Of his policy.

NEW York, Nov 10.
The New York TINES has the following
"Mr. johnson has not indicated his rur-
pose relative 10 the amnesty suffrage plan
mentioned in those dispatches on Friday
last though tho gentlemen who advocate
the proposition represent that the president
has given them encouragement to expect
that he will adopt their suggestions SUBJ
stantially, if not exactly, in the form they
advise. Several newspaper correspondents
have endeavOred to excite 4 doubt of the
existence of such combination of leading
men for the purpose of inducing the pre-
sident to accept the proposition and advise
the southern people. as set forth in my
dispatches. In order to put at rest such
doubts, | am enabled to say, from personal
knowledge, that such combination dos
exist. a number of the gentlemen CO.
operating in it have had interviews with
Mr.. Johnson, and they have been laboring
in the matter for about q tnonth, visiting
and corresponding with influential men Of
the north and south"
The Posts special says: "Thc facts di-
vulsed to-day show that there is little hope
that the president will recommend impair
tial suffrage in his message to congress
He will stand with Mr. McCuIloch on fin
ancial questions.

says at is confidently expected that the
reconstruction policy will be amicaby
settled early in the approaching session of
congress. Negotiations tor tina: purpose
are in progress between tho president aud
the leading politicians OF all parties in the
north and south. The basis of settlement
will be universal suffrage and general am.
nesty. The president partially accedes to
this proposition, bat lie insists upon con
stitutional grounds, that the question Of
suffrage properly belongs to the respective
states. aud is so FIR aver>e TO any action of
congress upon that subject. Irassurances
can be obtained from southern leaders of
the speedy adoption of universal suffrage,

Ruksin says, with his old pungency, in
one of his new essays:
You women of England are all now
shrleklng with one voice--you and your
clergymen together --because you hear Of
your Bibles being attacked. Ii you choose
to obey your Bibles, you will never care
who attack, them. 1t is just because you
never fulfill single downright prscept
of the book that you are so careful of its
credit. The Bible tells you to dress plain
ly. and you mad for 6nery; the Bible
tells you to have pity on the poor, and you
crush them under your carriage whe Els !;
the Bible tells you to do judgment and
justice you do not know nor care to know
so much rs what the Bible means"
