H,.,ra Party Men It Work.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The third
party men in congress are already pre-
pairing for the party in the next cam
paign.
Indeed, Jerry Simpson and his party
men are preparing the platform already.
It is said that President Polk OF the Al
lance, is with them. but Colonel Polk
himself is saying nothing to the pubic
right now.
The platform will declare that the
government should issue its money di-
rect to the people, at a low rate of inter
est, upon good security. The platform,
however, will not state the nature of
this security, leaving it to be land, cot
ton, grain or anything that the bor-
rover might want to put up as collat-
eral.
The tariff plank Of the party will be a
radical departure. 1t will declare for
duties only upon imported luxuries, all
the necessaries of life to be admitted
free. To recompense the treasury for
the loss Of revenue, the platform will
declare for an income tax. They e0
pect to put this through and launch the
third party upon the sea Of politics at
the st. Louis convention in February.
OF course they are likewise consider
ing the question of candidates. Presi-
dent l.. L. Polk, Of the Alliance, is the
man they want and have agreed upon
for the vice presidential nomination
They want Senator Stanford, the mil
lionaire Californian, to take the presl-
Dental nomination. and if he will agree
beforehand to accept, it will in all prob
ability be rendered him. Otherwise,
General Weaver, Of Iowa, will perhaps
be the man selected.
Should Stanford accept and make tine
race with the third party he would al
most certainly capture several western
states from the Republicans and make
Democratic success certainty.

EXODUS TO AFRICA.
Views of Leading Citizen on
This and Kindred Topics.
Opposes Migration.
Editor Gazette.

Editor Gazette:
Please allow me in your esteemed
sheet, to express a few of my
thoughts, in relation to our people
migrating to Africa was never lea
der of any class of our people, and
don't attempt or wish to be, but
while so much is said Of ameliora
ting the condition of our people, l
belive it becomes the imperative du-
II Of every man and woman, to be-
gin to look around, that nothing
may be done too hastily. If the
condition OF our people is to be bet
tered peaceably in any way. let US
at once begin to consider it. But as
TO bettering our condition by return
ing to Africa, the birth place cf our
ancestors, let us first consider the
climate, the society. the means of
living and most of all, Of leaving
country of fifty millions or more of
enlightened, civalized and exper-
fenced citizens in all the arts and
sciences upon the globe, and going
into continent of darkness and bar
barism, where canabalism and every
state of anarchy reigns, except
among few hundred thousand along
ths sea shore. If we go to Africa,
We shall go as a nationality, and not
simply as race.
Think of seven or eight millions
Of us going there, to mingle ourselves
with thirty or forty millions who
have descended to the lowest state of
barbarism. Will the energy, exper-
ience, learning and education of the
few who may lead us there, be sufc-
lent to keep us above that state Of
hegeneracy in which our ancestors
were found in sixteen hundred ant
twenty? Can the Intelligence, found
ameng eight millions of US surmount
the superstition and ignorance of
forty milliens.
Africa Is the birth place of some
O the noblest teachers, warriors and
law makers that were ever upon
earth; notab v Moses, Joshua and
Hannibal. Embalming, building
pyramids etc., in Africa three thous-
and years ago, surpasses the skill OF
our wisest philosophers of the press
eut date. But Africa can never be
again what it has been. / enter
tain the highest esteem for my peo-
pie and race, and am sorry that the
the birth place of my ancestors is
such, that can never advise my
people or race to go to Africa to bet
Ter their condition.
For my part, | am an American
citizen born on American soil, and
