That af the work of the negro here is not yet done it involves nothing which requires him to receive the right) of suffrage or to be brought into the , political 'stein': but that while he remains l._ must be a mere an:diary, following implicitly whither he i led, and not assigning to be one of the lend ers of progress. This would produce convulsion; and though that could not prevent the fulfillment of the white man's destiny, tt would make his progress more uncomfortable and cause the negro much unnecessary suffering 4 lu other words. either the negro is to rule in this country or he is not, if be is to rule here, then the white race must leave. The two races cannel rule together, and the while race cannot sub mit to be ruled by the black. On the other hand, it is greatly to the interest of the blacks to be ruled b?"the whites, not an arrangement is e tee be made for both races, and the country All that is necessary to this arrange went is, that the negro, while he Is equal with the white man before the law shall Trot btotrntilisted with the ballot Ile ought not to want it, and would not it he were not deceived and waled by white emissaries But if all this be true, the negro must not ho regarded as the essential basis of the labor System. If °maw:di:ration has taken place in tho interest of the white race, the •erything must be arranged on 1110 foundation of the white labor, and the'negro mum be required to imitate the example of the whfie laborer Those who cannot or will not do this, must do the best they can, in such refuse employ meats as unity be left to them But to talk as a fwechost,and abiding thing, of mtkttig corteracts:with negroes for labor, Is to admit that they are the essential and not this secondary con•id ration Otily•so far as we succeed in conforming our agriculture to white labor, and in dirernifying employments according to ' the serum% resources of the country and the varied atilliiies of ate .white race, c to x s bee ad to base accepted the sittia (lOU Uutti that be lone the negro its in some sort it toaster in Israel with or without the tight of suffrage The .• u to idit made a whine man'acriun try iy c ling it 3 white man's cout.try. and untilit really becomes a white o • ntry it will be a negroe'e 'coon y, uu matter what it may be call ed It can be mode a white tnan'tt coun try only by the libor of the white race. —ColcsstoiirTexaa) Why we are a Democrat Because (Sod gave us reason, a passa ble knowledge ut right and wrung as he twevo luau and man, and a desire to do by others as we would they should do Ull l O us Becalm we love the emple, Otto and oulanprovect rerun of government made by the honest statesmen of other day'.
