THEY have Democracy pure and
undefiled in Maryland. The Hon. Benz.
G. Harris, of Maryland announces him
self as Democratic candidate for Con
gress on the White mans platform.
He regards the l4th and 18th Amend
ments null and uOid, and says
"If shall ever be a member of Con.
gress in such majority, the first mo-
ton l would make would BE- TO vacate
the seats now usurped by negroes in
those halls and have them filled by
white men. Further, in any contest t
for seat in Congress from States in
which negroes had not the right to
vote previous to 1861, 1 would vote al
ways to give the seat' to the contes-
tant who appeared to have a majority
of white voters in his favor, refusing
in every case to allow any negro votes
TO be counted for eli Their contestant
and, to close up the whole business, /
would propose an amendment of the
Constitution providing that none but
white men sahll vote or hold Office
within the bounds of the United States,
thus establishing beyond doubt that
this is completely white mans gov
eminent, and that white men shall er
cLusiUely rule within our limits"
