New York Express, has the ring Of
the right metal: -
There has been, and there yet is,
an intimation, in one of the city
Democratic journals, that Negro
Suffrage is an open issue with Dem
ocrats, and that man can be a
Democrat and vote to degrade the
white laborer of the North to the
race, .and caste degradation of the
negro. There never was greater
mistake-for the greatest of all is
sues between Democrats and Repub
lican oligratay is that Of Negro Suf-
frage. It is about the only issue,
for Tariffs, and about everything
else, dwindle into insigniicance
when compared with it.
The Oil garchs and Monopolists of
the North-the men, for 300 per
cent, Tariff bounties, arc recon-
stlucting the South, SO as to use the
negro vote there, to force the con-
sumers Of the North to keep up their
tariff bounties. Hence the Five
Monarchies,, and all the ..tyrannies
connected Herewith! The Demo
Gratis of the North and West are dead
against all this, and united omit TOO.
The question, here at home, is, as
on our own soil, when confined to
our own State of but little practical
Importance to us, right here
but of the greatest prac-
tical Importance to us elsewhere,
and Of the greatest theoretical i'm
portance, everywhere. The Demo
cratic theory and principle is, that,
this is Democratic government of
white men, made for white men, and
exclusively for white men. Hence,
We have ever carefully excluded the
Indian fir ON suffrage, nay, we
have cxtirpated him, and universal
suffrage for the negro was an idea
secuted by the Fathers Of the Re-
public, who in the Federal Conven-
tion, compacted, not only to deliver
him up as slave, but to have him
represented only as a slave. Our
fathers made no provisions for taking

nces or japanese, our own Pacific
ocean neighbors. The land was
made open and free for Anglo Saxon.
Teuton, Cclt, and for al. the Latin
races--in short fcc the Caucasian,
never fcJr the African, or Mongolian,
or Esquimaux tribes of men, whom,
we are now embracing in masses in
our just acquired Russian possess
ions. The reason that this govern
mcnt Of white men should be kept
for white men, is, that the white men
alone is capable of self-govcrnment,
and alone maintain free govern
mcnt. No other races have ever
maintained such Government, or
ever can. The White man is the
superior man, the dominant man,
over the African, the Mongolian,
the Esquimaux, or other species Of
men, and was designed and destined
by God to be. All attempts of our
race to share government, and our
society with the inferior races of men
in Hayti, Jaimaca, or Spanish
America here, in America, or, in
Asia, or, North Africa, have been
destructive of both races. Amalga-
nation is death, both to white, ne
gro men, or Mongolian men. Equal
ity and fraternity with these lower
races is against the will of God, and
God Furnishes by the destruction Of
both races all these violations Of
His Holy WILL .... -a
