thousand which are already here. This resolution
oil the Gorham Convention is Il shallow clap trap
to catch votes. They intended it for nothing else.
II it had been the real sentiment OF the Conven-

known to favor cheap labor.
NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
The thought OF Negro Suffrage and equality in
it's very self is revolving and should tinge with
shame the check OF every white man who advo-
Gates this doctrine. if not lost to all sense OF
decency. The man who thinks no more Of the
honor Of his country, and race; than to bring dis
grace and contempt upon both, is not worthy to
be called an American citizen:
Fellow ciizens:--Are you ready TO place your
selves upon political and social eq aity with
four million semi barbarians, possessing all the
grosser instincts and passions OF the animal, with
hardly a redeeming intellectual qualification 10
recommend them to your sympathy? Do you
wish to confer upon them the elective franchise
and place them in your Legislative Halls. to
make aud a, minister your laws! DO you wish to
sec negro occupying the Presidential chair, and
attempting to hll the place that Washington,
Jefferson and Madison has illeo7 DO you wish
to throw open your pallcr doors and Introduce
him TO your sons and daughters, telling them that
he is a'vNu7a and B,ofhtr, 'and their equal ,and
that bis rich blood will mpart new life and vigor
to The dccaying and degenerate Anglo-Saxon
stock
II you are ready for all these denominations, |
advise you 10 go quickly aud make your peace
with the Radical party, bend your knee to Cor
ham and his buckels, give in your allegi-
ance TO The whole Radical crew who are Apostles
of this beautiful doctrine OF Universal Equality
And as roclaimed by Stevens, Sumner Wade,
Cole and all Of the larger Ii hts OF Radieaisim.
The Radical County Ticket is pledged 10 sup
port and use their influence Tor the ngrcssional
Doctrines Of reconstruction and Universal Equal
ity, which contcrs the rights OF citizenship upon
all negroes of the requisite age, making them not
only legal voters in the Southern States but all
over the country. Now my hiends if you wish
to keep this mongrel mass OF ignorance IN the
BACKGROUND and preserve the purity OF our insti
utions and the integrity of the government yon
must be mp and doing, and work hard for the sue
cess OF the Democratic ticket, which is pledged TO
fight these dangerous helesiea, and keep this
white mans government.
You have FREQ ucnly been told that the Demo
cratic party were man haters, was cruel and
unjust 10 the negro. This is utterly false, we do
not hate the negro because be is negro, but we
love cur own race best, and il there is any bene
fits to be bestowed, prefer giving them to the
white man.
We wish to act justly and conscientioualy TO-
wards the negro lie has been thrown against
his own will into our hands, yet the benefits he
has derived from the contact has more than over
ha lanccd any haidships he has undergone. We
think the negro Il "Man" but no "Brothcr,"
that he is entitled to just and humane treatment
at the hands OF the Government and should he
allowed to acquile and hold property in his own
name, be projected both in person and proper
~ by law, should he allowed all the advantd-
ges OF education. but in separate schools ir IN the
white children Of the land. These concessions ne
think Just and right.
But lor God sake we don't want to see them
vote, hold office, sit on jurcs, marry and inter
marry with the whites OF the country, we
want him to keep his muddy element in It's own
native channel where God and uatule intended it
should remain.
TIE REGISTRY LAW.
This regard as one of the grossest insults and
outraecs that was ever heaped upon free people,
and calculated to de,aud thousands OF bona Ede
voters oul Of their rights 1t is contrary to the
genius and spirit OF Republican institutions, il
smells OF rotten Royalty and aristocratic govern
ments. where poor men are slaves, and rich ones
are tyrants. 1t is unbecomin9 an enishienedage
and "a free people. andwas gotten up by the old re-
vcngclul Know Nothing party to disllanchise the
foreign vote their hatred 10 all foreigners show
ing :tsclf upon every occasion. This Registry
Law is a"pet measule' Of the Radical party OF
this Stutei Our naturalization laws are good
enough. Democrats ask nothing more. and viii
repeal this infamous Registry Law among TIE
first acts of the party when it gets into power.
MDNOPOIlSIS ANH MONUIoi4i.
There is a party in this State who make ii their
especial business to lobby fat contracts. Raiload

TAXATION.
This isa subject ;bat directly interests us all
The people are oppressively taxed, it is running
them and casting y damper upon the industry OF
the State. We must have complete and thor
ough reform in every branch Of the State and
County governments. Stopping all leaks and
foolish expenditures, or ruin and bankruptcy will
be the result of all this prohgacy Every officer,
no matter how low or high the position he may
fill, should be held to rigid accountability Of his
stewardship. Taxation should be made equal and
uniform, bearing its burthens alike upon all.
The best governments are those that govern
the least, and have the lighest taxes. am in
favor OF the most economical administration OF
public affairs possible which comports with the

their benefit, but for the good Of the whole COM
munity. Aud elect none but honest, upright,
capable men TO places of honor and trust.
THE CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD.
This is an institution, which so far as its nation
al character is concerned should receive our we'll
wishes and sympathy. We should all feel pride
in having this selected as the route, by which the
vast region lying east of the mountains is to be
opened up to commerce. and its riches developed,
by giving the hardy Pioneer the facilities for
transporting the necessaries for supplying his
wants. Ali large Corporations should have legal
restraints thrown around them, to prevent them
from encroaching beyond the limits intended, and
to protect outsiders from becoming prey to their
rapacity.
All Railroad property should by law. be subject
to the same taxation as that OF the citizen, there
