EDITORS HERALD OF KANSAS:
ask small space in your columns to
say that 1t is without Warrant that a
few insignlfcent journals of this
State are heaping up abuse upon Gov,

template, that the time, for re-nomi-
nation and reelection of state officers,
is fast approaching, aud that in all
probability the Governor is candi-
date for reelection. l am not sur.
prised at the attitude of these char
acterless garbage disseminators, who
have heen unable TO control the Gov
ernor, and dictate the policy OF his
administration. If there is one quail
ty more than an other for which the
people Of this cOu ntry should admire
ruler or Governor, it is the quality
of manhood and independence,
which prevents him from pandering
to the pretentious and characterless
influence of this class of would.b be
public teachers. 1t will be seen that
these moral(9 teachers. are greatly
concerned-yes some what exaspera-
ted because the Governor is reputed
to be christian gentleman, and an
avowed temperance man, for which
they want him ignominiously defea-
ted and relegated 10 private life. Has
il come to this-that men must be re-
pudiAted, stigmatized and made the
object of constant vil.alny and ritu-
peration, simply because they are
pious and because they are christians +!

upon the character Of any colored
lady or gentleman to be 50 stigmatlzed
by . race OF people who hold no
atfillation with the other. And I
claim It the duty of the prsss to take
the matter under consideration and
discuss the same before the public
by sounding the key note Of reform
in the manners of the present genera
tlon' South. Ii should also be tire
duty OF every orator to proclaim upon
the stump and even in the halls OF
the nation, the necessity Of q general
reformation in regard to the domi-
naRt race (who claims themselves TO
be p:e-eminent in civilization) claim
ing relation with the colored race as
mere form to stigmatize them.
In old Virginia, which claims to be
the mother of statesmen, the two
important words Uncle and Aunt are
used as pass word to distinguish
the two races. And yet with all
these claiming relation, with this dis
tinct race, lnter-marriage is almost a
hanging crime. / must say, MesSrs.
Editors, that nothing sounds more
ignorant in my estimation, than to
hear q white persen claiming such
close relation as Uncle and Amt
with the blacks. If their expressions
were substantiated by the law of
matrimony then it would be matter
of congratulation, but they use the
two important words, Uncle and
Auut, among the colored race as a
stigma or as preference to using
our names and title respectfully. Now
then, it should be the special duty of
the parents of the white race, espe-
cially in the South, to instruct their
children better manners, whilst they
are young, that when they grow old
they will not depart from it. For the
time is coming, and is even at the
door, when intelligence and wealth,
will be the chief corner stone of so
ciety. Race prejudice cannot impede
its progress. Y ours for reform,
VIM. WASHINGTON.
