SThe IrrepresslbIe Nero.

AS we have always contendec
and still do, you cannot, by 'new
departures and reselu items, teke
the negro out of politics. As long
as there are the radical differ
ences of complexion, features and
intellect, whether they came by
creation, or climate. or otherwise
between him and the white man,
and Won persist in forcing him
into equality IF rights and priv
leges social ard political, ss well
as civil, the irrepressibIe conflict
will go on We hold that the diff
ference between tho two races arc
irrecoucible upon the basis Of e
quail social or political standing.
No acquiescence in events or cir
cumstances that are fixed and
seem to be irreverslble, will or
car change this fact, or law which
has been established and recog-
nized from generation to genera
ton. This Oh the party may for
philosophical or benevolent rea-I
sons, refuse to wage any sort of
political warfare on the black
race, because of his inferiori y. |
because of his weakness; but such
fberality will not and cannot
prevent the people, the whole
s7paspfe, without distinction of par
4ty, from giving expression to just
and Teason. able dissatisfaction, a.
aarmaaad indignation, when they
see the aegro in his in~feriority
isand weakness used as an in%stru-
Ito put or keep bad men in power
or used for any other wicked and
%egradingepunpeses as already he
has been in many Instances, ese

will con stnde to be.
New De- aartare,' howesver Of !

the complexion of The black 'nA'n' :
nor the laws of th ought; feeSftng :
and action. What all fhe ages ad .
mankind have not accomplished, tse
party resolution or platform ean- H.
not accomplish. The same seht1-
ments, emotions and passionsy
Wether of prejudice OF Partially, wa
move and control men in this age an
as they did thousands of years III
past. HI
we may improve u stock OIL WI
knowledge, we may learn by APP tn,
plication and experience, we may tri
elevate or advance u prospect he
for happiness, we may subdue or oo
be able to control our passions, on
but we cannot alter.or eradicate &C,
them. The blessed Creator has by
not left their direction nor their "a
existence to change or accident; 81 81
and whenever called into play or &c
activity, they act in the same wa
manner, although not to the ne
same extentin all cases. There !,
is no law, nor exception to the
law of human thought and feel 60
ing, to govern us in Judging of lily
the proper relation between the lol
white aud black man. Nor is he
there any change because the ba
black man has become an ele- &C
ment of power through the forms tn
of human law. The use of the oo
ballot will produce no alteration RI
iii his nature; nor will clamor,
nor continued defamation, nor
constant agitation. Constitutions OF
al amendments will not regener- iii
ate him, or make. his character tn
IN taste, habit. or mode of life at IN
all more ~congenial- f
Hence we repeat, that as long he
as the forcing process is adopted ie
and the negro is pressed torW ard u
and oward against the views and Nc
prejudices of the white men, the II
irrepressible conflict viii go on. in
In thus expressing ourselves, we a.
believe we pronounce the Judg- =,
ment OF the Democracy, and also y,
vindicate all their past actions up te
on the subject. The Democracy, &C
from first to last, have declared ID
against the legislation of Radical &c
ism on this point, and urged that q,
useless if not disastrous leglsla- al
ton would follow sooner or later lie
The facts upon which Democrats SC
based their views have in 40 wise !.
