publican North single negro that
has ever been considered good enough
to hold the position OF postmaster or
any other position that requires an
ounce of brain work. 1t is we'll enough
to live in the North and talk OF negro
domination in the South, but where is
the Northern town, county, city or
State that will swallow the same medi.

slave, but he is just as effectually
shut out from the advantages of hui

forged upon him. He can never be
any thing at the North but s.niggern

freely expressed for the rights of the

tended in the North.
Equally as many s'outrages" ars

whites, learn to divide on party lines, they
will be more respected; but just SO long

they allow them to Keep them in chains,
just so long will the whites keep to-

dominated by the negro and they can
not force their Southern brother to dc
what they will not do.
The s'force bill" will not benefit the
negro, but on the one hand it will re-
tard his progress. 1t is nearly thirty
years since the war began. The major
ity OF the old slaves have gone to their
quiet home. A negro who can ever re-
member slavery must be about thirty
five years old. To have worked in a
field under a master he must be close to
fifty years old. Time and education
are healing prejudices, and the two
races in the South are drawing close;
together, but this "fre brand" about to
be cast in their midst by the fanatics at
Washington viii open wounds and re.
suit in the downfall of the negro in the
end; for should there be general rev.
olution the whites of the North and
South would both unite against him.
The strong prejudice right here in the
North IS alone sufficient proof of my
claim. Every blow struck at the whites
of the South means two blows on the
shoulder of the innocent and industri-
Gus negroes, who ask nothing more than
the privilege accorded every American,
whether he be native or adopted; and
if he must fill the mental positions he
should at least be assisted to heal pref
udiee instead of increasing it.-Thomas

1t makes very little difference
whether Mr.. Blaine has converted the
President to his reciprocity views or
the President has induced Mr.. Blaine
to dilute the same in the interest OF
party harmony, the fact remains that
by giving his views utterance Mr..
Blaine has made it impossible for the
Republican party ever to become unit
again in favor of higher protective
duties He has given vent to great
volume of smoldoring discomfort with
the programme of his,party in. Congress,
and has prompted the expression by Re-
publican LEADERS and newspapers OF
opinions of the most revolutionary
character. Throughout New England
and the Northwest there have been de-
fiverances of this kind which will be OF
incalculable service in the cause OF
tariff reform, for they will set thou
sands OF people to thinking and doubt
ing, with the inevitable result of ulti,r
mate injury to the high tariff cause.
