The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1867-06-29

4 correspondent of the Herald,
writing from Richmond, Va, makes
the following important statement:
1T is noteworthy that no prominent
Democrat has 50 far made any adYan-
ccs in the way of conciliating the ne
gro vote. As n party, the Democrats
seem to repel anything like a coalition
with the negroes, believing that such
a policy is adopted by the Wings
merely TO secure local and temporary
advantages at . sacrifice of ultimate
national and permanent benefits The
Wings of Virginia as a party may be
regarded as now allied with the Re-
publicans."
1t Is just the fashion at the North
to represent that the southern men
are all going in pcll-mell for the ne
gro suffrage. The concoctors of this
stupid lie know how utterly base it is,
but, for the time being, it answers the
purpose of those who desire TO use it
to ruin the Democratic party of the
North by committing it, or ut any
rate rendering it indifferent to this
issue. Nearly all the reasonable in
~novations of the Abolition party, dur.
ing the past few years, have been car
ried by the claptrap cry that every
body was going in for them, and that
it was no use 10 oppose them. No
less criminal than stupid though This
be, yet we regret to say thousands of
men haye had the starch of opposition
taken out by this silly cry. The same
programme is NOW being tried on this
negro suffrage business. ooh ! inevi-
table," cries the mad Abolition fana-
tic. at is useless for you Democrats
to try to resist the great party of pro-
gress," And "Ah! yes,' signs the
skimmed-milk Democrat, 1T is as you
say expect it is inevitable. Ihave
long thought that we were coming to
this. Oh! dear, / never expected to
vote with niggers. | don't exactly
like the idea of mixing with them, but
expect it is inevitable. The World
says so. Oh my, what is this connp-
try coming to-"
"Coming TOP you stupid. What
Is it to ? And all for the like of such
as you, who have been going on yield
ing, yielding, yielding, until, if you
keep on, you will be so demoralized
that should Q niger demand your
daughter in marriage you will not
have manhood enough left to resist it!
We are glad to learn that the Dem
ocrats of the South are not giving
any countenance to this negro suffrage
business, and we apprehend that the
number of Wings who viii do SO, are
very. much less than the co~rrespon-
dent imagines. A few leaders, for
the sake of office, no doubt, hope to
be able to form some sort of a coali-
ton with the mongrel yarty, bnt they
belong to that, thank Gad, now genus
"pizen whigs," who used to handle
Democratic papers with tongs, and
whose natures were SO inspired with
Tory blood that they would hate
themselves to death if they thought
it would spite a Democrat. There
are a few of those, like Bolts, in Vlr-
ginia ; East Tennessee and western
North Carolina have also a sprinkling
of them, but the great body of liberal
Wings at the South will spurn negro
suffrage as quickly as the Democrats.
Depend upon that. If this vile Mill
tary Bill is to 90 on, there is no pow
er that can prevent the reformation OF
a black and white party, All efforts
to prevent it will be worse than use:
less; they will probably only stimu'
late and develop it the sooner.-LN.
