Negro Equality.

To r casual observer it would seem
that the predominant characteristics
Of our modern race Of Democrats,
both North and South, is the hatred of
the negro, simply because he is ne
gro. But as we get better and clear
or insight into their political creed,
this suppoSition vanishcs like fog be-
fore the bright rays of morning sun.
A scrutinous search Of their record,
public and private, convinces us that
it is not the negro himself they so
abhorently detest, but the position he
occupies in the political society of the
country. But to Judge from the almost
deafening hue and cry Of the Democ-
racy, the recent defenders of the slave
system make about negro equality,
man unacquainted with the customs of
the country would think thst he must.
OF necessity marry the fist shene
