The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1868-04-25

There has been, says the N. Y. Er-
press, and there yet Is, an intimatiou, in
one of the city Democratic journals, that
negro suffrage is an open issue with Dem
ocrats, and that a man can be q Demo-
Graf and vote to degrade the white labor
or of the North to the race, aud caste de.
graduation Of the negro. There never was
a greater mistake-for the greatest of all
issues between Democrats and the Re-
publican oligarchy is that of negro suf-
frage. 1t is about the only issue, for tar
ifs, and about everything else dwindle
into insignifcance when compared with
it.
The ollgarchistS and monopolists of the
North-the men for 800 per cent. tariff
bounties, are reconstructing the South, so
as to use the negro vote there, to force
the consumers of the North to keep up
their tariff bounties. Hence the Five
Monarchies, and all the ~tyrannies con-
neeted Herewith The Democrats of
the North and West are dead against all
this. and united in it too.
The question, here, at home, is, as on
our own soil, when confined to our own
State of but little practical Importance
to US, right here-but of the greatest
practical importance to us elsewhere,
and of the greatest theoretical Importance
to US everywhere. The Democratic the
DRY and principle is, that this is a Demo-
cratic government of white men, made
for white men, and exclusively for white
men. Hence we have ever carefully ex-
cluded the Indian from suffrage, nay, we
have e%xtirpated him, and universal suf-
frage for the negro was an idea secuted
by the fathers of the Republic, who,
In the Federal convention, compacted.
not only to deliver him up as a slave, but
to have him represented only as a slave.
Our fathers made no provisions for taking
into co-partnership government, the Cher
Okees, or Greeks, or S%enecas, or Iroquois
tribes powerful in their day, while
they created q Government exclusively
for white men. They never intended to
share their co-partnership with these In
dams, any more than with the Chinese or
Japanese, our own Pacific ocean neigh
bors. The land was made open and free
for Anglo-Saxen. Tcuton, Celt, aud for
all the Latin races-in short for the eau
%casian, never for the African, or Mougol-
ion, or Esquimaux tribes of men, whom
we are now in masses in our just acquired
Russian possessions. The reason that
this government of white men should be
kept for white men, is, that the white
man alone is capable of self-government,
and alone can maintain a free government.
No other races ever maintained such a
government or ever can. The white mar
is the superior man, the dominant man,
over the African, the Monaghan, the Es-
quimaux, or other species of men, and
was designed and destined By God to be.
All attempts of our race to share govern
ment, and our society with the inferior
races Of men, in Hayti, Jamaica, or Span.
ish America, here in America, or, in Asia,
or North Africa. have been destructive Of
both races. Amalgamation is death, both
to white, negro men, or Monaghan men.
Equality and fraternity with these lower
races is against the will of God, and God
Furnishes by the destruction of both races
all these violations of His Holy Will.
