PENNSYLVANIA AND the NEGRO

After seeing the negroes struggle for
thirty years in the root hog or die"
fashion; after compelling them naked,
uneduc ltee, unskilled and helpless to
enter She race for existence among their
reputed enemies; after emptying the
prisons Of the North to send carpet bag
leaders to debsuch their political morals
aud give them first lessons in the art Of
selling their votes for the highest price
and their lives for nothirg, the Repub-
lioans are just beginning to think that
perhaps something might be done for
the physical and moral welfare OF the
negroes.
Those things have been left TO the
white people Of the South The white
people built negro school houses on the
sites OF the burnt cbimneys which
marked "Shermsn's march to the sea,
aud stood as monuments Of their own
loss and poverty. They never grumbled,
they were glad to hep the negroes, they
were humane.
But the carpet bagger what was he
doing for the moral and physical welfare
Of the negroi Precisely what Mahaify,
Bach, Mitchell and their coadjutors are
doing here now.
Our Democratic Legislature devotes
50 600 per snuum to negro education
Those high priests Of moral culture and
pure patriotism devote $4,000 in this city
alone to buying tax receipts and holding
mortgages on the colored mems votes.
Those high priests profess, Of course
to do these things to protect" th'
negro in his 'rights"--he is net able t,
pay his own tax and control his own vot,
and to secnre him in the priceless
| privileges Of free man.
Is he free manl
How little the Republican ipsrtY ha
done for the negro is shown by this'clir
ping from one of the most importan
papers in the state, which has large
number Of Republicans than any othe
state in the Union, and which was and
now better able to promote the welfar
and advancement Of the colored peopl
than any other state. The Philadelphi
. Inquirer says
There is one difficulty in the way Q
