NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
The thought of Negro Suffrage and equality in
its very SELF is revolving and should tinge with
shame the cheek Of every white man who advo-
Gates this doctrine, ii not lost to all sense Of
dccency. The man who thinks no more Of the
honor Of his country, and race; than TO bring dis
grace and cOnten pit upon both, is not worthy to
be called an American citizen.
Fellow citizens:--Arc you ready to place your
selves upon q political and social ca iality with
four million semi.balbarians, possessing all the
grosser instincts and passions OF the animal, with
hardly Il redeeming intellectual qualification to
recommend them 10 your sympathy! Do you
wish TO confer upon them the elective franchise
and place them in your Legislative Halls, to
make and administer your laws? Do you wish to
sec negro occupying the Presidential chair, and
aaetr rpiin4 to III the place that Washington,
Jefferson and Madison has tilleo! DO you wish
TO throw open your parl(r doors and introduce
him to your sons aud dau ghters, telling them that
he is a.:.Nan and a Brother "and their equal and
that his rich blood will impart new life ard vigor
to the dccaylng ana degenerate AhS!o-oaAoh
stock.
Ii you are ready for all these denominations, l
advise you 10 90 quickly aud make your peace
with the Radical party, bend your knee to Cor.
ham and his hackers, give in your allegi-
ancc TO the whole Radical crew who are Apostles
OF this beautiful doctrine Of Universal Equality.

You have frequently been told that the Demo.
cratic partv wee man hat.rs, was cruel and
unjust to the ncgro This is utterly false, we do
moi hate the negro bt g, use he is negro, but we
love our own race best, ai.1 if there is any bene
fits to be bestowed, pleler giving them TO the
white man.
We wish to act justly and coHscientiously TO-
wards the negro. lie has been thrown against
his own will into our hands, yet the benefits be

balanced any haldships he has undergone. we
think the negro '.Man" but no "BroIhcr, -
that he is entitled to just and humane treatment
at the hands OF the Government, and should be
allowed to acquire and hold property in his own
name, be protected both in person aud proper
~ by law, should he allowed all tho "dvanta-
gcs OF education but in separate schools fr' m the
white children of the land. These concessions we
think just and right.
But Tor God sake we don't want to see them

want him to keep his muddy element in i:s own

THE REGISTRY LAW.
This regard as one of the grosscst insults and
outraces that was ever heapcd upon a free people,
and calculated to deiraud thousands OF bona Jtde
voters out Of their rights. 1t is contrary 10 tDe
genius and spirit OF Republican institutions, it
smells OF rotten Royalty and aristocratlc govern
mcnts, where poor men are slaves ana rich ones
are tyrants. 1t is unbecomins in cnlghlencdage
and a free people, andwas gotten up by the old re-
vcngeiul Know-Nothing party to disii"nch'se the
foreign vote, their hatred TO all foreigners SHOW
ing itself upon every OCCASION This Registry
Law is Il '.pet measure OF the Radical party OF
this State. Our naturalization laws arc good
enough, Democrats ask nothing more ana VIII
repeal this infamous Registry Law among the
first acts OF the party when it gets into power.

saws: twill be bankrupt in two years" Every
candidate fora legislative position should be thor
oughly sounded upon this important subject, and
If not above suspicion should be left at home.
Iplcdge myself here, if elected, to be true to the
interests of my State and county, using my best
efforts at all times to promote the interests OF
both without fear or favor.
TAXATION
This is a subject that directly interests us all.
The people are oppressively taxed, it is running
them and casting dampcr upon the Industry OF
tho State. We must have a complete and thor,
ough reform in every Lrancn Of the State anu
County governments. Stopping all lcans ana
foolish expenditures or ruin and bankruptcy will
be the result Of all this profgacy. 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 burthcns alike upon all.
The best governments are those that govern
the least, and have the highest taxes. am in
favor OF the most economical administration OF
public affairs possible which comports with the
witt the dignity and requirements Of the Gov
ernment. And let us make all office seekers un'
derstand that Offices were not instituted solely for
their benefit, but for the good of the whole COM
munity. Aud elect nc ne but honest, upright,
capable men to places of honor and trust.
M 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 q pride
in having this selected as the route, by which the
vast region lying east of the mountains is to bc
opened up TO commerce, and its riches developed,
by giving the hardy Pioneer the facilities for
transporting the nccessaries 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
