TUE WHITE MANS PARTY.

ever IN furtherance of the aims of those
who have foisted the Fifteenth Amend
ment upon the country, They will not
seek tire negro vote, nor bear any part in
the work of stablishing any other rela-
tions between the white and black races
than those heretofore existing, growing
out OF labor. They have opposed the en-
reimbursement of the negroes, and they
mean to have nothing to do with them in
a political sense, but to keep their party
now, as it ever has been, the White Mans
Party, Many gentlemen of the Republi-
can party, holding moderate views, and
being thoroughly disguised with the turn
which things have taken, are resolved to
cooperate no longer with party that has
entered upon course of policy calculated
either to engender war of races, or to
eventuate in social as we'll as political
equality. AS soon as the President issues
his proclamation announcing the ratifca-
tion of the Fifteenth Amendment, we un-
derstand it is proposed to call the people
of this State together, in their respective
neighborhoods and at their usual places of
meeting, to organize the White Mans
Party, in Delaware, on such basis as
the moderate, conservative men of all nar
ties can unite upon, and cooperate with
each other, to resist the levelling and de-
moralizing tendencies of the times. They
look to Washington, and they behold
negro in the Senate of the United States
negroes as department clerks; negroes in
the schools, side by side with the white
children; negroes in the cars and omni-
busses ; negroes in the restaurants; and
acts OF Congress brought forward to COM
pei association with them, in medical So
cietles and other corporations deriving
their corporate existence from Congress,
under pain of repeal of their charters.

will soon make their appearance in the

AMBASSADORS have been sent abroad to rep
resent our Government in foreign coun-
tries, and arms from our national armo- |
ries are being put in their hands in the
Southern States, receiving their contin-

the public charge. The Freedmen's Bu
reau, or Bureau of Education, as it is now
termed, has that special work for the blacl,
man (not the white man) in charge, and
Congress recently appropriated $50, 900 to
feed the African lazaroni of the Federal
city And the overburdened tax-payers
foot the bills. No such appropriations to
feed and elothe the whites, and to educate
white mems children are made. These
fayors of Radical government arc dis
pensed to blacks alone. The only excep-
tion, we believe, Gf exception it can be
called, } occurred few days ago, when
Congress gave to the family of the late Ed
win NJ. Stanton, Six Thousand Dollars
as the salary of an office the duties of which
he never discharged. He was appointed
to the Office on Monday, and died the
following Friday, leaving to his heirs an
estate of $75, 900, to which Congress ad
ded, out of the money of the people,
gratulty of $4,000 more! This is the
way in which the public money is squan-
dered to Congressional favorites. If the
people would redress these multiplied
wrongs, they must combine for their own
defence. Let all who favor the interests
OF the white man, who believe that this
government was founded by white men
for the benefit of white men, and who
would stem the demoralizing tide in our
public affairs now setting in upon us like
a Hood be prepared to unite against the

them, "hen the time for organizing arrives,

The sliding scale" of the freight
schedule proposed by the Railroad author

Growers, is variously received, some feel
ing inclined to accept it, and others to re-
ject it. On one side, it is alleged that it
Is complicated, and will be the cause of
much trouble in the settlement of freight
bills; and that more simple and definite
rate of charge is desirable. 1t cannot be
denied that there is some force in these
