at is said, however, that Mr.. Clapp is
firm in his decision that Douglass shall
retain his position in the Office, and in
this respect will carry out the policy OF
theGovernmenti in recognizing the claims
of colored men"
Here general "policy" is declared.
The Government calculation " is that
there is but step from the dirt bank, the
mechanics work bench, the printers
case, or the clerks desk, to the social
Preside, and but half step from that to
the altar--or something worse

Government in degrading his profession

an account OF the action of the printers
here last night in the paper l inclose.
Let every trades association in the land
take immediate action in this, to them, a
matter of the most momentous cense-

be viewed. The design of the Govern
ment, if it shall be accomplished land it
will be unless immediate action is taken
to thwart it), win work thorough over
throw of the existing principles of labor,
and degrade it beyond remedy. In very |
few days orders will be issued to submit
the mechanics employed in navy yards
to the degradation of being classed as
upon par with a race which nature has
branded as inferior, and with which the
Judgment of the civilized world
has assigned personal and family disgrace
as the penalty of association upon terms
of social equality.

The progress Of our civil revolution is

that as he had shot of bullet, argyle, {"
he was entitled to ''the ballot" All this
has been accomplished by law. Still,
fools thought that social equality and
eventful amslgamstion were not really
contemplated. Il was reserved for the
Administration to take the fnal leap and
boldly avow its determination to force

social equality, without the absolute re-
quirement Of any law at ell. The expe-
