There Il large number OF the mosi excellent
citizens Of Delaware who have always, from pre-
JUDGE, association or principle. opposed the Demo
cratic party, and yet always rrofessed 10 be an
iasonistic TO the fanatacism of the Radicals that
has so completely governed the Republican patty
for the last ten or fifteen years. The Conservative
citizens have met the Radicals in convention OF
III the caucus and invariably been bullied into ST.
ience aud mostly into submission 70 rendering
support 10 the party ticket. That this will be at
tempted again there can be no doubt. The great
object of that party now seems to be to reduce all
the white people and their children 10 the equal
OF the negro. This they know never can he done
unless cospanionshp is commenced in youth,
and the most successful way would be through
the schools 10 which the churches and hetels are
hitched on in the Civil Rights bill merely as ex-
cuses 10 get into the schools. Now it is useless tor
men to trific with this matter. The Radical party
is determined 10 accomplish it ii they success
iul in Delaware. They will tell you as the Milford
Netrs, the oflicc-hodcrs' organl does, that
Social equality is all moonshIne and myth. and
all the fuss and feathers made about il is
simply TO deceive the unwary.
But let them get the power In their hands over
the schools and school fund aud then they will
point you TO the language of the Civil Rights bill
and declare that mixed schools necessary to
form TO the laws of the government. What is the
use Of the Civil Rights bill If it is not enforced
Now that the party in this State is bent on it
there is no further proof necessary than the FOL.
lowing paragraph taken from the last issue of .he
Milford Nescs, the same paper from which We
quoted above, although it says "socal equality is
all moonshine, it declares that the object Of the
Republican party lis 10 enforce and maintain the
equal political and civil rights of all the people Of
this land. We quote the whole paragraph. Ii
SAYS
What the Republican party has undertaken tc
do, and Is determined to carry out in good faith
~ 10 eniorIe and maintain the equal political anc
civil rights OF all the people OF this land regard
less OF race, colo. or any other accidental condi
tlon. ln pursuance of this grand and noble ile.
II has moved steadily forward, and, having incor
porated into the Constitution three amendments
1t will not hesitate to complete the work by suci
supplementary legislation as may be necessary
That is what The Meas tells US, and that is wha
it promises the negroes. The prowling RADICAL
tell The negroes the quotation from the same pa
per that social equality is all moonshine" is onl,
the poor whites-that after the passage of th
Cvil Rights Bill all will submit just as they oil
submitted to go quietly to the polls with the negr
and vote the same ticket.
We ask our Republican friends after they rea
that paragraph to call TO mind the speech of Hen
ry +. Pickels, a representative and popular mai
Uf the Radical party at the last celebration of th
negroes in this city, that il the Republican part
iriumphed at the next election in Delaware,
would build school houses on every bill and il
every valley in the State, "ior all the people
Mark the language fer all the people.
Now we are in favor OF taxing the negroes 70
money 10 build school houses for the education
their children; or allowing them TO tax them
selves, as The whites now do, but we are utterl
opposed TO putting negroes into white school
whether the Civil Rights Bill passes or not An
the Democratic party will resist any such attemI
10 enforce social equality in Delaware Just as sur
as it is attempted. Nor should they suffer the
isnds 10 be taxed Tor any such purpose.
