| The fact developed By Tie limited dis
cussion Of the Window till is that the
only element Of the colored population
in the South dcsrous Of aiding this pro-
posed Republican raid on The Treasury,
IS one composed of the disgruniIcd rem
look about for living when the Fed raj
Fred. Douglass, aud other colnrcd men
who represent the most respectable elc-
ment, have protested against the prose-
cution of any such scheme, and Win
dom's own State papers lave thrown
cold water on his own plan The South
ern negro knows from his experience
with the Republicans that if he was sor-
ted clf on II reservation, like the Indians,
he would be subjected to the most in,ol-
cradle phase Of Republican bul,dozing,
and rather than lose lis freedom he will
prefer ''pconagc" Of the kind which
enables him to aml-s property and pro-
vide for his family and DO rs he pc:.ses
with his money. The Southern negroes
would doubtless prefer that, instead Of
making any s,lcn absurd propositions as
this Of WINDOW, tl.e Republicans would
take up Il collection and pay them the
S2,0O0,O00, stolen from them through
that swind!ing Republican institution,
he freedoms Bank.
We observe that Rockford (Ill.) Jour-
nal suggests neat little plan to the Re
pubicans, to transfer the negroes from
the South TO the North, which the Cleyc-
land UcrnM should really bcncvolcrtly
contemplate. The .joarnni says:
"Why saddle this enormous expense
on the public Treasury? There is II
much cheaper way Of doing IT,, aud one
which need not cost the taxpayers IL cent.
The plan is this: Ii- scheme i. solely
for the benefit of the oiiiccholders of the
Republican party. Now let each Of ilesc
take Il co!orcL voter, his pick k,a-ninncs
and coon doys, and adopt him and them
into his own household This plan is
particularly advisable in all the close
States. Take Ohio, for instance. In
that State there is tie narrow margin of
5000 majority first on one side and then
on the other of the political stntc Now
let the 1000 or 1000 Republican Office
holders in that State each adopt one Of
tho wards Of tue nntion.' instruct him in
the proper use of the ballot and the State
with its marrow political margin is sure
for the Republican party. In the same
way the slight Democratic majority in
Indiana might be overcome, and he Tall
Sycamore Of the Wabash and Blue
Jeans Williams be snuiled out and the
Morton and Tyne school of polite; be
again established. Indiana, too, would
be n yeritablc African paradise for it.
forests abound in 'possum and coon, and
the chickens roots low in the branches.
IL would he an easy matter TO traI s!c,rn
few thousand sable Ecntuckians MO
.hcso Two states. II, only the Ohio river
separates them from Kentucky, and
Kentucky is so lopclos,ly Democratic
that ten thousand colorcd Republican
votes would never be missed from her
election returns. Apply the same plan
to such OF the close and doubtiul States
lis Wisconsin,. Connecticut, New Jersey.
New Hampshire. California, Oregon,
an Illinois, md, they are fixed for the
Republicans for nll coming time; for
with the reproductive qualities of IT,.
negro, there must Of necessity, after
few years, be II steady annual increase
of the coloied Republican votes, far sur
passing any ctIorts Of white Democrats.
This scheme would ut once give solid
Republican North, and render futile al
efforts of the Confederate Brigader,'
and The solid South TO 'subver, the
Government to pny rebel claims 1t
would place the Treasury completely in
tho hands Of royal men like Bclknap,
Rabcock Schcnck, Zach Chandler, Kcl-
logg, john a. Logan, Chamberlain,
ltnhcson, Joan Roak, ShcrcrI and Oakcs
Ames, and make it impossible for such
ton, Lamar, Governor Nichols. Thurman,
John NJ. Palmer, Judge Davis or Judge
Holman to plumber it. There Is no
reason why this scheme of colonization
is net absolutely practicable. The ONLY
drawback to it, absolute success will be
the unwillingncss of the uiicrholder tn
be to the expense Of carrying it out, and
like Win!Dm, trying to saddle it OH the
National Treasury"
There is an excellent programme
marked. out The cxpntriation of ne
grocs is proposition which tho Rcpub-
licans do not disguise is scheme for the
aggrandizemcnt uf tho party. Let them
bear the burden and place tho negro un-
der Republican tnlelage in the close prox-
unity suggested. Congress cannot be
induced to appropriate 20O,O0OOOO for
purely political purposes. Let Mr..
Window show his faith and sincerity by
inducing his fellow citizens of Winona
and Winona county, in Minnesota, TO
take the initiative in throwing open
their purses, houses aud fields to Af'r-
can cnterprise.-LouisriNe C1Mier-.Iour-
