was far more intellectual than II is now.
He ranked as one Of tho most forcible and

by addresses at various points in tho Gen.

the dangers Of the ailuation, and thereby
avert the threatened rupture Of the
Union, recorded hi,tory SO fully proves,
as to place The fact beyend successful con-
tradiction from even The most persistent
pervertor oftruth. Yet a few days ago,
Senator Morton, Of Indiana. had The
eifrontery to rise in bis place, and declare
that in receiving the hybrid mulatto ad-
ventursr Rcvcls, as Mr.. Davis successor,
tho ssu,ss had lost nothing in intelligence,
while Il had gained much in patriotism
and loyalty. A. one tim. Mr. Morton
was considered to be gentleman Of taste
and refinement, bu! il would seem that

be rendered auIunt pactam, SO far as the
first of the high contracting parties are
concerned. 1t will fall out, in the end,
as was the case in Clarksburs. that the
number Of white radicals who decline 20.
litical association with the negroes. is
greater than that Of the black reinforce
meuts secured by the radical leaders
through the bargain and sale Of the Fiji
teeath Amendment.
The founders Of this new an,algamated
party Of purehased blacks and degraded
whites, have drawn the line, broad and
distinct, between themselves and the de-
cent white men Of the country.
Blood is thicker than water. The pride
of race is more powerful than party ties.
But the strongest, most powerful Of all
is the decree ef separation. traced by the
finger ofthe Almighty, in the color, the
hair, the physical conformation and the
intellectual capacity, respectively, Of the
European and Of the African races.
The devices Of parties cannot obliterate
the marks Of differences by which God
Himself has separated His creatures.
The impious design Of the amalgamat,on.
lists must fall Us certainly as that tho Di-
vine decree must stand. The mongrel
party has been formed upon the principle
that, politically, the white man must as
sociate with the black, on terms Of perfect
equality; bat we believe that an associa.
ton so unnatural, SO unholy, cannot long
cohere. It's at present held together BY
the cohesive plumber, but sooner or later,
it must part asunder and die.
This being the case, We are willing
to place thi, matter fairly before the peo-
ple-and ask them, as men who have not
learned to despise the plainly expressed
will of the Creator-as mon who would
preserve tho dignity and purity Of the
great Caucasian race, which has given to
mankind the most benifcont laws, and
blsst the earth with il, discoveries in sci
ence and art-if they are willing to sus.
tain this moDgrel party in their bideous.

is called treason" in it than the patriotic
and progressive party which calls itself
republican, Every day there is a proc
lamation Of some new traitor, who has
deserted it. Sumner calls II umbull
dsserter; Kelly calls Commissioner Wells
a de,er,er; Batter calls Dawes deserter,
and somebody calls Bingham a deserter.
It seems that to tell the truth. or to keep
faith in solemn compact, to abide by q
fair bargain, to demand honesty and
economy in administratiOn-sO do any Of
these things-is considered treason to the
party, for these are precisely the offences
Of Trambull, Wells, Dawes aud Bingham.
There are some republicans who are never
accused Of this grave party crime-whose
standing in and loyalty to the party have
never been called in question. They are
Butler, Drake. Amos, Bullock, Porter (he

Tennessee the "Calf-Killer,') Ashley and
Babcoke. These patriots remain always
true and steadfast in their party-"faith-

being denounced as desersers who have
gone over 10 the enemy. Z
