If the negroes would turn III and hang the

| IGNORANCE THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLES.
From The PhIsburg Pteksbrger tDsnl
| We claim that the Caucasian race is the su-
peror OF the African, aud point 10 the history OF the
world the present time In proof of that fact.
aud while ready and willing TO give negroes all
their legal rights, we will not acknowledge their social
equality knowing we do their social inequality. We
stand firmly the facts of the case and hold that
II this the inferior race TO bring riots and
troubles the firmer stand Will these af-
airs be settled aud forever II we are right,
groes kicking up trouble for party purposes will not
| make us wrong. God in heaven knows that all the
white people In this State wish Is just and honest rule
and If they believe they cannot have this by cowardly
submission 10 wrong doing, they certainly have right
10 exhaust eyeryteg obtain IL have
no right on earth ignorant beings

| should be Abandoned No, thousand times no &" Re
ssance TO tyranny IS obedience TO God and II there
can be any tyranny than that OF ignorance and
| rascaity combined, we have never heard Of 1t.
