A white Mans Government.

a White Mans Government.
JUDGE DoUGLAs.-I hold that th1s gou-
ernnaent acaS made on the WHITE BASIS 0y
WHITE MEN, for tho benefit Of WHITE MEN
AND THEIR posTERITY FOREVER, ana sfsouta
be administered By WHITE MEN ana none
Others. lido not believe that the Almighty
made the negro capable Of selt-gouernn'ent.
Mr.. LINCOLN IN REPLY.-I am not, nor
ecer hare been, in favor OF MAKING VOTERS
OR JURORS OF NEGROES, NOR OF QUALIFYING
THEM TO HOLD OFFICE, nor intermarryanlg
them NTH ,ohite people, and I .clu say m
addition to this, that there is a ptysacae dy-
ference betpeen the white and black race
sohich, I 6ezicue wiN forever forbid the t'eo
races livinq together on terms Of social ana
political equality; and, lnsomnch as they
cannot so liue, achile they do remain together
there mast be a position of superior and 7nfe-
rior, and I, as much as any other man, am
in fauor of haviaag the superior position as
siqned to the white race.
Tho above is the language of two men
who. of all others, have been the expo
nents of Northern sentiment; men who
have figured prominently in the councils
of the nation; and as Mr. Lincoln is con-
sidered the great martyr in the cause Of
Radicalism-whose death is deplored by
the slater day saints'-it is certainly re-
markable, as we'll as very significant, that
they should wish to remove from the
Presidential chair the present incumbent,
who they are pleased to style "His Acct
dency, for carrying out the great princi-
ples as above enunciatod by Mr. Lincoln.
This is the question of all others, and it is
one upon which we are other "to sink or
swim, live or die, survive or perish" Ii
is the platform of the Constitution, and
swallows up all of those MINOR details,
affecting the prosperity Of the country,
because our future depends upon main
tanning the supremacy OF the white man,
The last three years ought to convince
any candid inquirer after truth Of the
utter absurdity and hopelessness of the
negro's capacity for self-governmcnt, and
that the vast expenditure to keep up these
military establishments, to trample upon
tho RIG hts Of the white man by disflan-
chiscment and negro governments, is but
the beginning OF the end. 1t is but the
preliminary stage of financial ruin, and
the horrors that must ensuo from races
thus brought in conflict. 1t is a slow
process which convinces the Northern
masses that our prosperity is thoirs, but
| if there is such q thing as reaction going
on, it is the result Of this tampering with
the Liberties of the people, by unscrnpnlous
extremists; and the problem Of recon-
struction is already worked out when tho
stubborn facts aro patent to all, that the
year 1868 finds the country at large in a
worse condition than 1865, when the
sword was scarcely shenthed, and the
surges of "gvim visaged war; were yot
red with the remains of the recent CON
hict. The impotcnt rage against the
President is not so much that he has
ti,warted the efforts Of revolutionary
body of men, for he has really contributed
very little in so doug, but that their
policy should be working its own destruc-
ton. SThe rattlcsnulic sometimes con.
tributes to its own death by striking itself
with the envcnomed fanes, and 20 is
Radcalism working out its Legitimate
conclusion, in trying to maintain power
through tho nero numerical force OF the
negro. Well might the bonate pause IN
tho admission Of Arkansas. With the
negro legislatures abont tc assemble
under constitutions that must make the
South pandcmonium, such State gov
ecnments are incapable of maintaining
themselves, without the assistance Of the
military. Did either GEORGE WASHING
TON or AbraAdm Lincoln ~ expect the
time to arrive. when the Legislature OF q
State would consist of ninsty-ciyht negroes
land jJfty,sepen itinerant sohstes9 No-and
their posterity will mover submit to such
depreciation. Party animosities, and the
desire for the spoils Of office, may retain
their ascendancy for q period but the
noble race that boasts of a Shakespeare, q
Milton, . Newton, and Calhoun, will
triumph in tile end. If the votes of tue
Northern people against negro suffrage
mean anything. a mongrel government
| will never be allowed by the American
people-ncrer !-Georgeto'on Times
