MONGREL PLATFORM.


Almost every man, woman and child in
the country knows that the Radical Mopgrel
party leaders have no regard for the Consti-
tuition or their oatbs, but we opiue tho pub
lie we're hardly prepared for public declar'
alton, laid down in plain words. in their
platform Of a determination, with malice
afore.bought, to override and destroy one
Of the most sacred guarantees in the Consti'
tuition, the equality Of the several States.
What can be thought Of a great lin NUM-
bers) political party in Convention assembled
who will declare and publish as one Of their
cardinal doctrines, and pledge themselves aud
their adherents to carry it out, resolution
uulfyng the very essence Of our system OF
Co equal States. All States Of the American
Union are on a perfect equality with each
other and the original thirteen. But read
the second plank in the mongrel platform.
Second, The guarantee by Congress of equal
suffrage to all loyal men in the South was de-
manded by every consideration Of public safety,
while the question Of suffrage in all of the loyal
States properly belongs to the people OF those
States.
Now let us ask our, readers and all CALI
fornisns. what this doctrine to which the
opponents Of Democracy is pledged, will
lead to il enforced and carried out. II We
admit the power Of Congress over the qnes'
ton Of suffrage in one State we admit it for
all States. II Congress can legally say who
shall vote in South Carolina, she can also
say who shall vote in California. fit can
enforce negro suffrage in the South it can
enforce not only negro but Chinese suffrage
in California, and the man that votes for
Grant votes for Chinese suffrage in this State
II Congress can control this question Of
who shall vote and who shall not in the
different States, then there is an end 10 State
rights and individual immunities. The ne
20 wench and the Chinese prostitute can be
eufrauchised, AID will b. lift becomes neees'
sary for the success OF the usuTpipg thieves
at Washington, while the white man will be
dsfrancbised as he now is under the military
tyranny in the South. The fugitive from
Justice and outlaw. allies himself with the
savage tribes and leads them in acts of bru.
tai bloodshed upon the innocent settler, and
upon the same principle does the thievng,
cowardIy carpet-bagger ally himself with the
degraded races and insist upon their right
to a voice 10 the election Of our rulers and
law makers. Decent white men will not
descend to these things and therefore By the
advertisement of negroes and chinese the
low bred mean whites, those who are mean
enough to stoop to conquer, enhance thei'
chances of acquiring positions where they
| can rob the public at will, as is now being
| done by Congress. Once admit the power
Of Congress over this question and good bye
free government. The salvation Of the coun
try depends upon the overthrow Of these
mongrels and their vile doctrines.
"Tbe guarantee Of Congress in defiance
of the guarantee Of the Constitution. Wha
vile treason TO the written fundamental law
Of the land. God once said 1.-THE wickednes.
Of man never entered into my heart" Wei
may the white men of America repeat tb,
language and apply it to this vile mongre
crew. We ak all decent men, all lovers o
good government, all who love their rac'
and wish it we'll, to pause and cons der thes
things in their true light and their bearing
upon the future prosperity Of this once
free and happy people.
