A RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT.

convicted Of being meaner than if i
boldly and unblushingly told a talsehood
And what is the most unenviable feature
in this judgment IS that it applies witt
equal force to the party that it does to the
paper. Last week the Democrat directly
affirmed that ten thousand Of the Chinese
would be introduced to supplant the
negroes if they did not mend their politi-
cal cond net. Being caught at this game
of bluff, the Democrat now denies it; but
with 81 lgular disregard Of its own de-
NAL, the editor repeats the threat in the
very next column:
If the colorcd people are so infatuated
with their protesSed friends the Red Radi-
Gals. they cannot see that while they are in
ducing them to quit the plantations and
other tielfis Of industry to attend political
meetings, they are importing Cinnamon to
supply their places, they deserve the fate
that is in store for them. The result will be
that colOred lahorers will soon seek in vain
for employment, unless they quit politics.
What can be palmer than the condem-
nation tie editor writes Of himself? He
has denied our statement Of his position
and befoE re he can give his denial public
ity, his hatred Of the negro overcomes
him to lat extent that, even while pro-
Tossing the utmost devotion to the colored
people, lie eXultantly threatens them with
the Chi ese if they do not quit politics.
This was what the REPUBLICAN charged
the Den} crat with saying We protested
against dde threat as unjust and ungener-
Gus. We denounced it as impoitic.
Since the negro is citizen, accepted and
courted lis such by the Democrat and the
Democratic State Central Committee, he
has as nj lch right to attend to politics as
the editd r Of the Dem0crM has. Strictly
considered, lie has more, for he is shrewd
enough to vote Tor the party that pro-
notes his interest. II the Democrat was
at all honest in its avowal of
friendship for the colored people, it
would i &c at once that all this demand
upon thu III to 90 to work and quit poll
ties is Hollow and heartless, for there are
more laE y white men afoat in the South
than thd re are negroes. And if it was
sensibleI it would see still further that
when it threatens to food Louisiana with
ten thou sand Cinnamon, it utters !. more
terrible promise Of disaster against the
poor VIII lite people than it does against
the coloted race And if the body OF the
Democrd tic party had the same amount
of principle that it has Of prejudice, its
members would see at once that the i'm
portatioI. OF Chinese coolies is of far more
consequt nee than any other project now
promoter by the Democracy. And they
could sd ION satisfy themselves what party
it was an is that favors the Introduction
Of this g ass Of cheap iaborers. Just talk
a minute with the Democrats around YOU
just rea{l the Democratic organs, and see
and heat ii they are not in favor of Chi
nese lab pr. Only for the Republican party
we shou| d have had thousands of Coolies
here alrd lady. And even as it is, koop-
manschd p declares that he has orders on
his book for two hundred and fifty thou
sand, I'd be delivered in the Southern
States W thin the next year. Every para
graph II at contains piece of news Of this
charactd Z is picked up and published in
the DEM ocratic papers with infinite salts
faction. 1t It's the balm to all their wounds.
1t is the hope OF laziness. 1t is Demo-
cratic dlease from negro labor. 1t is the
vengean re of society. Even the Democrat,
while pm hitting its hypocrisy, can not re-
press its exultation at the prospect that
the few Cinnamon who are coming will be
sutficieH t to keep the colored people away
from tho polls. We submit that the or
gan Of the Democracy had better get
cOnslste| lt editor, or new foreman. If
it changes the player, then the tune may
be consistent if it swaps off its printer,
we shall not have these false notes coming
out together
