on the Sentinel

To the Editor OF the Sentinel:
SIR-WiU you please write an article ON mis-
cegeuationf The ladies OF this town, Demo
Gratis and Republicans, ask IL as a favor. The
ladies look upon the Journal Of your city as a
miscegenatlon paper, because Il mas sald lnat
or none, except those of Democrats. In view
OF the great lumber OF negroes now coming 10
Indiana, the Journals position Is regarded as
FRrESD or women.
Monticello, ind, Jan. ~.
We are aware that the Journals vile innu-
endo, thstthe daughters OF Republicans do not
demand white husbands or none, has created
a profound sensation throughout Indiana.
The intimation is so vile. so filthy, so abom.
inably nssty, so repalsive. so libidinous, so
prurien1. that Republican women feel that
q most danlnable insult has been offered
them. BC, what Is miscegenstion? Web
ster defines ii as follows:
Lat. w~,scers. to mix, and geaerc. to beget;
a mixing Of races; smalgamstion. A recent
and Informed word; it should be miseegen
Grafton.
With Lhls deiioiticH IN view, il viii be
we'll 70 quote tne Journal of December 4,
1879:
"NOBODY'S DAUGHTERS DEMAND
WHITE HUSBANDS OR NONE, EXCEPT
THOSE OF DEMOCRATS"
To mix races is what miscegenstiOn means.
1t is for negro men TO marry white women
and for white men 70 marry negro women.
1t means "a pollute white blood with negro
blood. Il means a mixture OF hair and
wool, Sat noses with Roman and
Grecien noses; 70 make thick lips thin,
and thin lips thick; TO take of some of the
negroes heel and spice on to the white mans
heel. 1t means yellow instead OF blonde,
and to deepen the tinge of the brunette
to darkness. It means to till the land with
hybridism ana a race Of human mOngrels.
II means that the Caucasian blood shall min
gle With the negro blood, end that the most
exalted o. the human race shall be brought
down 70 the Level of the most inferior race.
Il means 20 bridge the chasm which the
Creators tat placed between the white and
black races, and that the sublime in human
nature and in human aspirations shall sban-
don its upward march and grovel in the
shOminstionE OF miscegenation: and what
we ask is better calculated to BRING about
this new ere of denominations than to declare
that Dobody's daughters demand white
husbands or none, excep. those OF Demo
cTsts."
Indians IL not praying for such q reign Of
fifth. Il is not true that "Nobody's daugh.
tiers demand white husbands or none, except
those o. Democrats In the name of the
daughters of Republicans. we repel the Jour
nails infamous innuendo. But the singular
feeture about this monstrous intimatIon of
the Journal is that il should have been
mace a & time when negro Repub-
lican k~idnspers were in North Carolina
cOncociiDe ne most infamous f~slsehoods TO
induce psupsr negroes TO immigrate 70 In
diana; and while this eNecrable business
was going on in North Carolina, Republican
papers II Indiana were endeavoriDg to show
thst the barefaced lying OF the black scamps
IN North Carolina wes truth; and il was at
this iunc.are tina, the Journal declared
that 'Nobodys daughters demand white
husbands or none, except those Of Demo-
Gratis Was this language used as an in
ducement for pauper negroes TO immigrate
to Indians; The daughters OF Republicans
feel justly indignant they feel the insult
keenly, and the report has gone abroad to
the detriment OF Indiana. The Sentinel has
done what it could to correct the Journals
intimation, but it seems that the more the
Republicans think about II the madden
they become.
