opposed to disfranchising white men,
and was opposed to it yet. But the
best Democratic lawyers said that this
provision was er post .tacto, and void.
If they are correct, this provision
amounts to nothing.
Mr.. DUNCAN then closed by further
lunge at the niger, and an appeal to
the prejudices of the people.
MEETING AT WINCHESTER
On last Saturday night there was
political discussion at Winchester be-
tween George w. johnson and Porter
Du Hallway. The discussion was open
ed by Mr.. johnson, and he only occu-
pied about twenty minutes, PROFOUND
ing certain questions, among which
were these Where did white men get
the right to say that they alone can vote,
and excluding colored men1 Are not
the Democrats, as party, responsible
for the war, and for the war debt?
Mr.. DuHadway then spoke an hour
and half. He said that the people
of Bloomfield township never would
let nigger reside in the township.
We thought this weak argument. If
mob of drunken copperheads chose
to drive all colored men out OF the
township, ought they to be sustained
by good citizens, of the Republican
partyl Suppose the many Union SOL
diers in that township should combine,
and resolve that all the copperheads in
the township-the fellows who gave
aid and comfort to armed traitors, should
leave. Would Mr.. DuHadway argue
that this was right7 Mr. DuIIadway
said that God had made negroes differ
ent from white men-that they had not
as much brain as white men, and their
bones are smaller, and then they smell
so bad. We do not find fault with him
for fatty contradicting the Bible, where
it says that God did make of one blood
all nations, because Mr.. DuHadway
does not believe word contained in
the Bible. But why should he talk
about God making distinction, when
he does not believe that there is any
God7 After repeating that negroes do
not smell well, he said, what will you
do with this animal? then Immediately
said that negroes were men-human
beings, and that he did not wish to de-
prive them Of their legal rights, the
right to testify in court &c. After de-
claring that negroes never could become
capable of self government, he said
that in Hayti, where there was negro
government, they did not let white men
vote, and this was right, as each race
should have its own government. He
said the negroes of IIayti were smarter
than the Republican party. Mr. DUNCAN
here remarked to us that lie was rather
inconsistent.
In speaking of the financial condition
of the country he declared that the pub
lie debt was Seuen thousand millions Of
dollars. lie repeated this several times.
The same day Mr.. DUNCAN only claimed
that the debt was three thousand mil
lions, and that was the amount claimed
by Judge Thurman, when at Jackson
; What do the people think of such
demagoguel
, lie told the people that they wero
taxed almost to death. Said he, ''be
fore this radical party had control o
the Government, you could buy a dres
for your wife for dollar. Now how
much do you payi l suppose you can
not buy your wife dress at all. l can
: not and my wife is half naked Now
thought this most humiliating con
fession. Here was a man aspiring t
be lawyer, and an expounder Of polit
ical truth--claiming to have thir
more brain than negro, and yet hi
; brain is so deficient that he cannot ear
enough to keep his family in decency
according to his own public statement

dren. We could but think that if MI

the constitootion, and tyranny, and de'
/ potism, and go to work at somethin
y for which he has brain capacity-mae
