Democracy and the Negro.

Inc emancipation of the negro grew out Of
the exigences Of the war for the Union, and
hls enfranchisement was solely due to the
pressing necessities of the political situation
IN the ex-rebel States. After having emanci-
pated the negro, it was found necessary, at
the close of the war, to afford him some
means of protection against the arbitrary
action and demands of his former master +;
and in compliance with the dictates Of fnecessi-
ty, right and justice. the freedman was given
the ballot, and thereby made the arbiter of
bis own destiny, and the architect of bis own
fortune.
Alabama and other Southern States in
dicates pretty strongly that the negro will
ultimately cast bis fortunes with the Demo
cratic party. The Republican party gave
him an opportunity to make fair choice OF
political associates, and if he deliberately
hops over into the Democratic camp, we have
no objections whatever to offer. The fact,
however, that the negroes elected Democratic
Electors in the States where they held the
fullest sway, shows that they were not con-
trolled by Republican agents, as charged by
Democratic demaeogues.
In the North and West the Democracy
have scarcely landmark left to commemo-
rate its former existence. The few States
which they have carried north of Mason and
Dixon's line were won by very feeble and
insignificant majorities, and in New York
their paltry success was only brought about
by the most unscrupulous and stupeDdous
frauds.
A review of the field of political contest
renders it very apparent that the only re-
naming stronghold of the Democracy is in
the States secured to them by negro votes.
In view of this fact it may safely be asserted
that the Democracy will hereafter cease to
disparage and abuse the negro, that their
papers and orators will stop prating about
the beauties Of "white mans government"
and that Democracy and the Negro will
henceforth be :" one and inseperable."
Republicans can we'll afford to look upon
this new alliance with indifference, as it is
not the first fusion which the Northern peo.
pie have witnessed between the chivalry
Democracy and the negro, although the
present union assumes more of political
than social phase. Backed and sustained by
the splendid and overwhelming Republican
majorities rolled up by the white freemen of
the North and West, we can afford to bid the
demoralized Democracy welcome to their new
recruits.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.-In San Francisco,
on Saturday night last, young man, named
Laurence jacobson, entered the room of a
young girl named Rachel Mcdonald, and
shot her in the head with revolver, after
which he shot himself dead. The murderer
was desperately in love with the girl, but his
affections were not returned, and hence this
double tragedy. The parties bore excellent
characters, and were generally respected by
their acquaintance.
