A.—Certainly you did. Fver since
oreanization of the Repubhean party, vou
have nick-namid u< Bleck Repubican, a
tery which you knew to be very ollensive
to ug.
D.—Every appellation of a party ough
to be indicative of its principles and purpo-
ses Your party when organized, assumed
the nawe Republican.” Now, this name
had beeu taken by varons parties! in this
and other republics to indicate their peculiar
leaning toward the principles of popular
liber:y or democracy, Your party could
pa! forth no such pretensions except so far
as the black man was concerned, Black
Republicanism was. therefore, the kind of
Republ-canism upheld and maintaived by
your party.
A --That is all very fine talk : but you
know very weil that the term was applied
to us for the purpose of exciting popular
prejudice against us, on the ground thst we
were, to ure another of your refined expres
sions, ‘*NIGGER WORSHIPERS.
D.—That last expression is certainly a
rather low and vulgar cne, and ought wot
to be used by one gentleman in conversa
tion with another. But the pri judice exci-
ted by it you have no reason to complain of
as long as the natural tendency of your
party's doctrine and practice wus to elevate
the negro to the level of the white man; or
more properly, to reduce the white man to
the level of the negro.
A.—But these are not the only opprobri-
ous epithets you have a; plied to our party
You persist in calling us all Abolitionists
although yon well know that we all scorn
and repudiate the name.
D.—How can you repudiate it? Aboli
tion is a term of very easy and sumpie defi
nition. When applied 0 any institution
subject or thing, it means the destruction
or the abolishment of such institution, &e.
1s used politically in this country it means
the destruction of the institution of negro
slavery in the Southern States. You are in
favor of that, are you not ?

the corner stone of it, and we must destroy

af cr the election, announced, in flaming
St. by fifty thousand majority ! “This,”
said the Teleeraph “shows the splendid con-
ditivn of the lo. al sentiment of the North-

we publish this week, give Curtin a majori-
ty of just 15.325 —a wonderful falling off
from the original fifty thousand, What

said ‘loyal sentiment” of the North 2 Cer-

when it felt so jubilant over the first exag-

are two hundred and fifty-three thousand
seven hundred and seventy-flve ‘traitors’
in the Stateof Pennsylvania alone, as shown
by the vote given to Judge Woodward, who
are only kept Gown by a trifling majority of
ten or twelve thousand ‘loyal’ men, inclu-
cluding all the shoddy contractors, office
holders and scoundrels in the country—
Certainly, Mr. Telegraph. this does no!
speak well for the “loyal sentiment’ of
Pennsylvania, and. no doubt, you feel, as
you have reason to feel, much depressed hy

fifty three thousand seven hundred and seven-

of its power, but for the safety of its

Astonishing as if may seem, however, we
