+ or the Iazctte.
Mr.. EDITOR Something appeared in some
paper lately-of course it was from Republican
source-to The effect that the Republican is the
party of legitimate progress and reform, that 1t
holds itself in readiness 10 redress wrongs, ~
punish the guilty, make necessary changes and
amendment, &c, and virtually invites the oppo
site party, the people to point out lis defieen
cies
Now, it can, and ought to be said, and maior
ity of the well informed and Serious of the nation
conscientiouSy believe that no party, take all III
all, ever did worse. OF their past acts, glance

the land generally are passed over for the pre-

But what white man, born citizen of the
United States, who had lived in the land from
the administration Jefferson can bear such Aaunt-
ing of independence IN his face, by such a party.
The persistent effort OF That party 10 raise the
negro to a moral aud socia vel with the white
man is an uppardonable .udignlty, and o sin
against 1OO AilcduI III l,IiCS u tuat party Is
working q chance destruction vi the white race,
both in ats mora and physical character and the
supplementary CiVu Rights bill Is intended to
consumate that destruction gradually but surely
the white race is ecoming tiuged with the negro.
The wooiley head, the thlck lips, the dingy color
the streak down The back and the fat nose, are
becoming gradually but imperceptibly for the
present more and more common, and the increase
is as by the note of geometrical progression and

ton, let them consult appropriate statistics.
But the wrong of the white man simply in a
moral point OF view is terrible. Old Jepo black

opinion OF the negro race. he used TO tell the
white people tina. II they found negro with a

ticed and connived at by those in authority to a
most shameful extent.

q state of things which necessarily reduces the
term of human life to ten or more years less than

Besides, no thoughtful man has failed to see
that the negro, though unduly anxious for indie
pendence, will not remain on the same list with
the white man, but will - soon as raised to tht
same platform, frst treat him with contempt and
then try to subordinate him.
1t Is related Of some one that he once suffered
the devil TO kiss him on each shoulder, and in Q
short time he found as q result that from tn.
places thus kissed, q serpent appeared. Thougi
not pleased he allowed them TO remain for tt,
present, and soon found they raised their heads
and began to grow to his skin, and then he triet
to brush them off and get rid of them, but to hi
surprise he found they lad become part of him
self.
Comment is unnecessary, in this connection.
