1000 miles Of storm swept, irreclamable
desert, but those of Baltimore, if reports
be true are in no better condition. After
the Tammany revelations any Democrat
must be without shame who will say much
about the Encouragement of city govern
ments.
"The negroes are all as one chained
together to vote,' The Democrat says
| Can The Democrat not see that the
position it is taking of opposition to
the colored people as race is the
way to weld that chain more firmly
The Doctor thinks that the moral and
intellectual superiority of the white race
was given by God himself. We think he
took the other side of this question last
Spring when Professor Burr declared that
the races were of different origins; that he
planted himself firmly on the Bible posi-
ton that all races were sprung from the
same parent, and as a logical conclusion
were equals. Evidently the leaven that
Burr left in Elkton is working when as
able man as the Editor of The Democrat
has been converted. Now let us liberals
sing the doxology. Anthropology is
marching on.
| So much for the first count in the indict-
ment. We shall look for the second with
some curiosity. In the mean time We
would caution the Doctor that he has
undertaken a hopeless task. AS well try
call the shade of Brutus back from Phil
lipi or galvanize into life the cavaliers that
| fought at Worcester as TO make living
issue of the old Slavery, States Rights
doctrines of Calhoun, Yancey, and Davis,
that went down forever at Appomattox.
| Slavery is dead and the slave spirit is
dying. We know that the present attempt
to fight out the contest on extreme seces-
sion principles is the natural reaction from
the rascalty of Greelyism, but it cannot
last, and it will not be long until the Doc
tor is alone. For the benefit of all who
like him have their eyes fixed on the issues
of thirty years ago, and are blind to all
that may have occurred since, we would re-
