TO THE PUBLIC.

For several months have not written anything
on politics, feeling as persons do on board a yes
sci dismasted, rudder gone, and driven at the
mercy of the storm to the leward. Last We'd
nesday President Grant by proclamation, an
nounced that the ship Of state 1.-THE old Constitu-
tion) had struck on the coast of Africa, and here
after white and black were to be one political
family and in short time he may issue another
proclamation announcing that white and black
are TO be one flesh and blood.
The deed has been done, but every honest white |
man knows that the white men Of the late slave |
States, if left free to exercise their franchise ac-
cording to the guarantees of the Constitution, |
would never have adopted what is called the l4th
and 18th amendments; and if they were not left |
free and untrammeled to vote on this matter, is
it binding, or should it be the law of the land any
longer than the two houses of Congress, (Which
forced it on the peope) can be changed
1t is the duty of all white people, let them have
belonged to what party they may, who are op-
posed to negro equality, to unite in one great
party TO be called the 4" White Mans Party"
whose great aim should be to carry out the prin-
ciples of the rights of the white Masses the will
of the majority, and as soon possible expunge
the l4th and 9th amendments, as they are called
1t is mere farce, as far as State adoption South
If there was great necessity in the days of Tho
mas Jefferson to form Democratic party, there
is greater necessity now to form white mans
party. Never since the settlement of the white
| race in North America, has such an appeal come
up. as it WERE from the graves of our forefathers
to us, to form white mans party, to stand by
our own race and color, and defeat the debased
| and degenerate sons of white men who are doing
| all in their power TO drag the white man down
| to the level of the negro, and then, as conse-
| quence, wholesale amalgamation and all this
wrong and disgrace on the white people, to PAM
| per and fatten a few lazy men in office. There
fore say let al party names be blotted out, and
all white men who have any respect for their col
l n an rail- oTlaf fnaD fn rtyf hat
| will utterly annihilate the mongrel white and ne
gro party. Let the people in the late free states
| organize as they please, we white people of the
late slave states have but one honorable and hon
| est course left to save our race and color, and
that is, TO trampe all old political differences
der foot, and unite in party for self preserva-
ton; and at the same time deal blow to these
northern white negro fanatics that will forever
crush them TO the earth and let US cmblazon on
our standard the repeal of tyrannical laws passed
by white negro fanatics looking to negro equal-
ty. The white men in the border states have sui.
tered more and done more to keep the Union from
being divided, than the citizens of any other
states, but all this does not satisfy the unfee ing
cowardly, fanatic Sumner and his crew, who live
in states where there are but few negroes, but we
who live where they are numerous, must have
this negro franchise thrust upon us. Not by our
negroes asking for it, nor by fair and honorable
legislation, but as by a mob, might for the time,
making right, thus trampling on all common law,
decency, and the higher law of God, who made
white men and black men, for some good pur-
pose known to himself. But his wisdom in mark
ing the races different in color must he blotted
out by this fanatic, Sumner, who could not gov
ern his own family, much less make laws for a
nation. Let old party prejudices go to the four
winds, and let men heretofore Of opposite creeds
unite in forming white mans party; and let the
qualifications for office in it be-is he capable is
he honest, is he white man and true to his race
These should be the reuuirements
l The negroes never aspired TO franchise, Their
| only desire was for freedom but fanaticism could
2 not stop, the negro must be eniranchised, and
political rights given them. II that could be OBJ
1 tanned they next would demand social privileges
l marry and intermarry.
a Now call on all white men who have one
spark of manly feeling in them, to form party
Il and crush these white miscreants, who trying
II to fasten on the country negro franchise.
a | consider the blacklist negro angel in compari
, son to these white men who are trying TO drag
down and damn their own color upon an equal
