NJ" does) any progressive tendency

"M" does) any progressive tendency
whatever, because Of its I" men who have
no sympathy with reforming and progress
i've tendencies" We have clearly shown
that the liberty party" died with the
emancipation Of slavery and that the
ablest republican writer's deny progress
i've tendency in their party. That instead
of it being rational party {" it affords so
fair disguise for selfshness ard malig-
nant passions as often to hide their nature
from him who is their prey" When re-
publicaDs speak thus of their party who
will find fault with democrat that de-
Hounces it as rotten fabric ready to fail
to pieces of its OWE weight We now find
art. 2 stripped of its progressiveoess of
its nationality" aud of its " liberty party"
and left without any tangible meaning
whatever. So much for Mr.. i" Ms ' ra-
tional liberty party of progress" l will
now notice Mr.. " Ms" line of argument
by wlich he endeavors to prove his prop
osition. Before he could commence his
argumentations he was obliged to form
new word which he calls "terrible word"
anu that ''the bearer Of this word is new
conner in the family Of systemized
thoughts" being considered rather an
Legitimate child" lie then introduces
this new conner as the "Cinderella " or the
aschenbroedcl in good German" The
term "Cinderella. or "Aschenbroedel !"
is figurative expression for sculLion,
which means in good English, a servant
who cleans pots and kettles and does other
menial services in the kitchen. Mark the
words OF Mr.. &" Nj" he says the "new
conner is the Cinderella" and that the
name of this new cdmer is humanism."
Now if this "new conner is Cinderella" and
is known by the name of humanism," it
follows that e humanism is but another
fgarative expression for scullion. and
must evidently mean the same thing. The
name of an animal cannot change its color
or form, so that by whatever name it is
krown it will still be the same animal
So with "Cinderela," under whatever
name it is known, will alwavc be the same
thing But of what affinity is the sculion
to TIE question of " Grant ard Coliax VS..
Jews and foreigners y? Does Mr.. an"
wish US to believe that the radical party
consist chiefly Of pot and kettle washers !?
If so, We see the affinity and verify believe.
Or does he wish us to consider it in con-
nection with the new conner rs being rath-
er an illegitimate child y? IF So we again
believe as we have conclusive evidence of
its .llcgitimacy. There now remains to be
noticed one more argument of Mr.. " Ms"
aud if it fails him his deductions fall like
wise. It's briefly this, that all mankind
having been created "of one blood" are
equal that "a. one time no apparent differ
ence In the races could have been distin-
guished that the white race through a
slow growth OF culture has arrived to its
present condition, that " the further we 90
back the more does the white race resen
BILE the Sc races which we now call our ln-
feriors and even that Of the most inferior. y
The generally received opinion in Europe
Of mans creation, is that he was the con-
temporary of animals whose fossil remains
have been attributed by Cuvier and others
to former geological epoch. and that he
must have been on earth something like
one hundred thousand years, instead of six
thousand. Mr.. M" commenced an ar
gument from the creation to support the
radical party Now / venture to say that
if Grant, Colfax, or any of their luminous
lights must 90 to the creation for the ba-
sis of their party. that they will forever re-
main ignorant of its first principles. That
the white race owes its present status IN
the human genera to process OF culture
is to great extent true. But this very
fact is an argument against equality, since
all races (if equar have had the same op
portunity and advantage to ri'e in the
scale of human beings by the same process
of culture, but have not made any progress
whatever Then why. if equal, did the
white race progress while the others re-
NAMED ignorant and barbarlous! Ad-
hitting the nferiority of those races, the
question is easily answered. That all 9th
er races are inferior to the white race, is
admitted by all European naturallsts OF any
standiag. They admit that if the white
race retrogrades. that all other races will
retrograde in the same proportion, so that
the same coumon difference must always
exist. Then how could the white race
