SEWING MACHINES.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-04-27

Our DEMOCRATIC contemporary, the Age,
in commenting upon the celebration yester-
day complains that ''the negro is now as
little as ever the chosen associate, social or
political, of the white man" The idea is be-
ginning to dawn upon the editors of that
journal that in spite of the repeated predic-
tions of their political associates intermar-
riages between the races will not necessarily
be increased in frequency by the fifteenth
amendment, and they are deeply disgusted
by the new proof of the fallibility of the
Democratic prophets. The Age also COM
plains that the "radical leaders of the city
shrunk from public determination with their
colored brethren" We see no evidence of
the truth of this charge, for, as far as we can
judge from the proceedings, white Republi-
cans participated in them, in person or by
letter, as fully and freely as the proprieties of
the occasion warranted. But what does the
Age want? If it will be good enough
to define the strict line of duty
for the partisans it opposes SO resolutely they
will be better able to obey its sagacious coun-
sells. Heretofore it has blamed them for
with doing too much for the negroes. 1t
has condemned them for abolshing slavery
and for ratifying the fifteenth amendment.
Now it takes opposite ground, and pretends to
be virtuously indignant at the absence of a
spirit of fraternization and the want of COR
dial fusion between black and white Re
publicans. The Age is SO difficult to please
that we hardly know what to advise, and it is
doubtful whether anything will satisfy it short
of the support of the Democratic ticket at
the coming election by the whole body of
colored voters.

The NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD Com
pANY is pushing its work with energy, and in
spite of the opposition of our estimsble con-
temporary at the corner of Sixth and Chestnut,
the probabilities are that before the summer
is over large section of the road will be
built and in operation AS will be seen by refer
ence to an advertisement in another column,
the company will receive sealed proposals for
grading, masonry, bridging, and ballasting
of the portion of the road extending from
the Dalles of the st. Louis river to the Red
river, distance of about 230 miles. The
advertisement gives all necessary information
about the character of the work to be per-
formed and the proper method of making
application. This road will go through
a magnificent country, which it will
open up to civilization, and it is gratifying to
see this indication that the work of construc-
ton is actually about to be commenced. The
men who are at the head of this great enter
prise are so well known for their financial
ability that their names are guarantees that
the road will be built in first-class manner
and with as much rapidity as is consistent
with prudence, and ere long, under their
management, there will be another iron band
uniting the Atlantic to the Pacific.
