Democracy in some Of the Southepn
States make the one plank in politics,
of the white race against the colored.
This is the war of races, which the
Democratic whites institute. 1t is
easy and plain to predict the result,
just as sure az it Is to be certain that
right will finally triumph over wrong.
1t is singular that the old pro. slavery
tics will not learn from terrible and
woiul experience that their cause is not
only the precursor Of Injustice by them
to those they affect to dispise, but is
also deeply injurious to themselves.
The cnrse Of slavery brought the black
man to intermingle with the whites in
the South that curse brought ON the
great disaster to both races In the re.
bellion, and now il thriftless, iAdo.
lent pro-slavery aristocracy shall con.
time the contest to override tho rights
OF the colored people, they will &c
down in the end, to an estate even
lower than the blacks. Nature will be
true to herseH in this, as we'll a. in all
other things, and she Is with the In.
dustrious sturdy blacks, rather than
the pampered indolent whites.

II
The unterrihed democracy have
called convention in the State OF IL
linois, for the first of September In
speaking of this the Chicago IImss
thus gives democracy send of:
"The local 'rock.rooted' and noun.
tain buttressed' party organs in Him
OILS are, as usual. at loggerheads. Some
of them are demanding that the little
lingering squad of the 1unterrified'
shall hold IN old.fashioned democrat
ic state convention from which every.
body shall be excluded who cannot
prove that he voted for Gen. Jackson
and has ever since stood ready to
swear by all the gods ct once that dc.
mocracy' means just whatever the
rogues1who can stuff the most ballots
into the box at the primaries may
choose to say 1t means.'"
The ungrateful wretch! Petted. fed,
and fatted ON democratic spoils and
patronage, Storey turns upon the old
defunct, the "putrid reminiscsncs, rs
he terms 1t, and says democracy
means just whatever the rogues who
stuf the most ballots ct the 'primar-
les may choose to say It means.'"
There can be NO question but that
Storey's experience - democrat has
given him the best information upon
which to base an opinion, and 40 many
agree with him that his opinion 10 con-
firmed. We labor, however, in taking
his word for It, under the difficulty Of
knowing that Storey's years Of exper.
fence In tho democratic party has made
It next TO impossible for him 20 tell
the truth. The situation 40 simply
that the rogues have fallen ont and 10
honest mon get their dues.

under Democratic rule, says:
"The State il overrun with violence,
lawlessness, bloodshed, murder, az.

Bell, Coke's "banner county," leads in
this "rule Of the wealth, intelligence,

we have, say thousand men and wo-
men turned loose from clerkships In

they are not healthy for mind or body.
