For the Democrat.
0IIow are the Mighty Fallen"


cd in the NJ. c. PepaHican of July Is.
Its first characteristic was brag.
gadocio for the Degro-e4uality men,
but fortunately empty boas ing never
carries any weight with it, therefore it
is nihtlod rem. The second aimed TO
prove that the phrase sail men," in
the Declaration of Independence,
meant negroes, and that all men are
created equal" The only proof cited
to convince the public that "all men"
included negroes was that the negro
had a vote in North Carolina" That
is to saw that anything that can vote
can be cassed under the head of call
men," and because they vote, they are
men, and since they are men they are
equal in all attributes pertaining to
man. Now, Mr.. Fleming's poodles
can vote,-that is, they can hand in
their ballot to the proper officer
therefore Z" all men" include poodles.
The gentleman's argument amounts
to Just this of the ballot alone effects
what he has claimed for it. But he
goes on to quote from the Declaration
Of Independence that all men are Gre
ated equal; that they are endowed by
their creator with certain inalienable
rights that among those are life, liber-
ty and the pursuit of happiness that
to secure these rights, governments
are instituted among AL men deriving
their just powers from the consent of
the governed, All men-man and
woman-are created equal in attributes
of body and mind. This is the only
sense in which they could be created
equal. If negro equality men deny
that it does not mean this, then they
must admit that the inequality may be
so great that all men cannot be en-
dowed by their creator with right to
life, liberty and pursuit Of happiness,
inalienable save in their consent, then
some men must be governed with their
consent. Suppose in the United
States community of helpless idiots
and among them others who are COM
paratively Napoleons. Now this very
inequality makes it impossible that the
right of government over these idiots
mus be in their consent. The strong
must and will govern them without
their consent, and thereby control
their life, liberty and pursuit of hap
piness" for the good of the communi-
ty. You may think that have ia
ken an extreme case and say that
everybody will admit that sane persons
must govern natural fools; then, sir,
some men are. created natural fools,
then you also admit that some are
created dregree above the natural
fool, and some to various degrees.
The negro comes in the same scale and
he will always remain inferior in body
and mind to the higher types of man.
kind; hen, sir, We cannot accept your
doctrine of equality as self evident.
How the editors of the Republican be-
came " sweet on the negro" is more
than we can tell, but they becoming
sweet with that kind of sugar is no
reason that democrats should follow in
their foot paths. Go on, ye brave and
mighty scented with the negroes
sweet perfumery, and when in your
travels should you chance to fall
"swcet on the ne gro," remember that
you once was great and mighty but now
fallcn Then will you cast your eyes
to Heaven and wonder, "Indeed, how
are the mighty fallen"

A SLIGHT ERROR,

A SLIGHT ERROR,
Our neighbors of the Republican
10 their anxiety to solve the question
as to who caused the rottenncss in Den
mark, and to free their own party from
the blame OF such an atrOciOuS pro.
ceeding, shoot wide of the mark in
their attempts at statements of fact.
As their line Of argument rests on an
error, or misconceptien of facts. their
deductions aud conclusions are neces-
sa.ily erroneous. There is no good
reason why the editors of the RepuJ-
ect,n should be ignorant of anything
pertaining to the recorded acts of the
late board Of trustees Of Plymout h
corporation. unless they seek their in-
formation among the falsehoods cir
cula'ed previous to the late town
election Tor surely the records will
not furnish facts such as they deal out
to the public for truthful statements on
that subject.
The last issue of the Republican
makes the startling announcement
that something is rotten in Denmark, :"
which it proceeds to prove by state
ment that the late board of trustees
appropriated and paid one hundred
dollars in aid of the construction of the
bridge across the river at LaPorte
street East street,, a nd that this
statement is true, whatever NAV be
said to the contrary.
We quote is exact language:
ave happen to know that the cor
poration board allowed bills, and its
clerk issued orders to workmen en-.
gagged in constructing the bridge"
The only rottenues nerceivabIe to
we'll informed person n the subject
lies in the statement of the RepuNt-
can. In other words, there never was
any such appropriation maue by the
board of trustees. They did appropri-
ate one hundred dollars, to be expend-
ed on tie street leadin5 to the bridge
which had been built by private sub,
scription. 1t is true that an appropria-
ton was asked to aid in the coaStruc-
ton of the bridge, but it WIS refused !;
and the appropriation for the bridge
was not payable until the completion
of the bridge. The opposition which
this appropriation has encountered
from certain would-be prominent citi.
zens, is amazing to contemplate. Per-
haps no act of the late board OCCASION
ed SO much hard swearing, from lips
unused to profanity, as this one
That the board acted with the best of
motives, few will doubt; and if every
act of former boards had been as ju-
dlciOus as this one, our corporation
would be in better condition to day
The residents and property owners
who live in the vicinity where this ap-
preparation was expended had for
many years paid their corporation and
road taxes, without receiving one cents
worth of public work, or money to i'm
prove the streets in their vicinity :;
while other portions of the town. with
no great public, aud much less local
need, have received back fully as much
as they paid, and in some instances
more. And it is for making this ap-
preparation, founded on justice 10 the
ax-payers of that portion of the town,
if not on public necessity, that certain
of our citizens keep ceaseless, sland.

board oftrustees, who only ask to be

VERY PROPER MEASURE.

A Bill ives introduced Yesterday into
the Senate and passed without delay
making it misdemeano-, punishable
by heavy fac, for any person to place
bed clothing or other things which
have been used by or about any oue
afflicted with small pox or other con-
tAgious disease, where they might tend
10 the sp-end of such disorder. This
81. IS rendered peculiarly necessary for
reasons which we need not dilate upon
aad its introduction and passage were
suggested by the scandalous act of
nan at Empire who, or Sunday, took
a ot o. bedding which had been used
by small! po5 patient and exposed it
where It endangered the health Of the
Citizens Of that place. We are glad to
safe that some o: the men of Emr:re |
took pitchforks, piled up the infected |
clothes, poured coa!-oil upon them aud |
then burned them up. We are sorry
that this BIZ canro. be made to arDly

despite Of his neigdbors protests
'nread the seeds OF coutagion.
