The Democracy-SVhitc and Black.

We have frequently asserted, til at the
Democratic leaders of the North, who for
six years have been bowling about q white
mans party, would embrace the negro as
soon as he succeeds in getting vote. These
politicians will do all in their power to pre-
vent the enfranchiscment of the black man
they will stir up bloody crusades against
him, and they will stimulate the ignorant
whites to mob and murder him, but the
very moment he is cnfranchised, they will
fraternize with him and court his vote with
oil their officiating characteristics. Ten
years ago, the Democracy of the South main
tained the black man had not the first char
acteristic or qualification to fit him for the
right of the elective franchise. The Demo-
cratic party concocted a causcless rebellion
and waged bloody war for six years to
prove that the negro was not man, that he
was only tit to be slave, and under no cir
cumstrnces worthy of participating in the
control OF the Government. But the war is
hardly over, before the Democracy of the
South are marching in political professions
with race to prove whose inferiority they
plunged the nation into most stupendous
debt. If the Democratic leaders had been
as prompt to recognize the right of the
black man to freedom and the franchise, as
they are to control his vote, we would have
had no rebellion, no terrible slaughter in
battle, no oppressive taxation, no immense
public debt to carry. We want all the
white men who now vote the Democratic
ticket in the faith that it is an exclusively
white mans party to consider these facts as
we'll as ponder the meaning of the following
extract from a call for Democratic process
sion in Vicksburg, Miss, called to take
place on the Gath of June last. We quote
from the Vicksburg Times, of the Esd of
June:
ION tomorrow evening at o'clock til e
Democrats of this city, WHITE and BLACK,
will form in grand procession and pass
through the principal streets of the city
This demonstration is COTTON up by the
Democratic Association of Warren county,
and the Young Mems Democratic Club of
Vicksburg, to show the strength in this
city of the party which is now so bravely
carrying its victorious banners from Maine
to Texas, and from the Atlantic coast to
the shores of the Pacific. Success is within
our grasp"
Here is still further proof of this new
born love for the black man. Who would
suppose that it was the white mans party
that could get out such notice as the fol
lowing from the Mississippi Standard:
"The Colored Democratic Club, of Port
Gibson, assisted by their white friends, will
give grand barbecue at Port Gibson, on
Saturday, juno 18th. The other colored
Democratic clubs, and the white citizens OF
the county, as we'll as our friends in Jetfer-
son and Copiah, white and colored, are es-
pecially invited to attend. There will be
speaking during the day. Dinner will be
served at two o'clock. A programme will
be published in the next issue of the Stan
dard.

the Government be in any better posi-

very easy to see that there would be
infinitely less danger Of q run upon |

General Spinner gives Of the banks, 1t is
easy to see that large numbers Of them
are under constant danger Of breakipgj |
that many are liable to break ct one

Government, which is responsible for the

which they were issued. In ordinary
times, there would be no call for
gold from motives of safety, but only for
actual needs; the notes for oil purposes
of internal commerce and payments be-

Divorce of the Government from the
Ranks.

Gen. Spinner, the y. S. Treasurer, has
written letter giving his views on the
resumption of specie payments, in which
he expresses the opinion that the nation
al banks will be q serious hindrsnce. He
says, the government being the iudorser,
il these banks should fail, their notes must
be redeemed, whether the securities
pledged are sufficient or not, and hence
the ma,ured liabilities of the United
States will be increased. The govern
ment would then be driven to sell its own
stocks, held in trust for the banks, and
by many being thrown on the market,
their value reduced. They might even,
he suggests, fall so low as to prove To-
sufficient to redeem the whole circulation
of the defaulting banks, thus making the
balance direct charge on the Treasury,
making reinvesiment of present stocks
difficult, causing another suspension,
and making resumption more difficult
than ever for years. Aud be suggests
that any feasible plan Of conversion Of
government liabilities into one single
consolidated stock. to be successful, must
be preceded BY an undoubied faith in re-
sumption of specie payments, on which
alone any low rates Of interest can be
secured.
His suggestions seem 10 look rather to
improvement Of the management Of the
banks than TO any substitution Of Tree
sury notes BE says;
Many Of these institutions were put 10
operation By rev and inexperienced men,
ignorant Of the FIRST principles Of legiti-
