' Negro Equality "
The democracy arc pretty much bank-
I rupted for arguments, but they have one
last resource when everything else fails
everlasting •' nigger equality. ' Of course
there will be no •' nigger equality where
there are no " niggers,'' and as the "Repub
lican party propose to save the Territories
• for free white men. while the democracy
■ leave a wav open for their introduction, it
; i difficult to sec how the slang phrase here
1 quoted applies to any other party than thcni
| selves. Hut there are a few facts ir. this
connection which have a more special sig
nificance, ns fixing upon the democratic par
ty the responsibility of ail the negro equaj
' ity which prevails in tiu I nited State;.
• We quote from the Chicago Tribune :
j In the state of Maine the negro is a cit
| izen. The state of Maine, at the time
when the laws were enacted conferring cit
izenship npon negroes, was overwhelming
ly democratic, and the democratic party cn
: acted bv law that negroes should be eiti
: zens!
In the state of New Hampshire negroes
i are citizens. The State of New II amp
! shire at the time when c itizenship was con
ferred upon negroes, was overwhelmingly
democratic, and that party enacted the laws
which gave them the right of suffrage!
In the state of Massachusetts negroes
are citizens, and the elective franchise was
conferred upon them by the democratic
party of that state at the only time when
they ever held the reins of government
there!
In >4l-2 r.ate of -New York all colored
person's who own 8250 worth of property
are allowed to vote. The Constitutional
C v.; yen lion which conferred this privilege
upon them was largely democratic —was
presided over by Martin \ an Buren, then
the democratic leader of the state —and
the same Martin Van Buren was subse
quently elected President of the Pnited
States by the democratic party of the na
tion 1 And at the same time Richard M.
Johnson, of Kentucky, who had married
a colored woman on the most approved prin
ciples of amalgamation, was nominated for
Vice President by a National Democratic
Convention, and elected 'o that high office
bv democratic votes !
In the tate of Ohio persons of one
half negro blood are allowed to vote. At
the time this privilege was conferred upon
them t.1.:- democratic party were in power,
and they framed the Constitution which
extended the right of suffrage to persons
of color!
Some years ago the Legislature of Wis
consin provided for a popular vote on the
question of allowing negroes to vote at all
elections, the same as white people. At
this time the Democratic party was largely
in the majority in Wiscon-in, and they are
responsible for the attempt to establish ne-
I gro-equality in that State !
| Now. lot us see what the Republican
, party has done in the way of negro equal
ity. Will any gentleman Democrat put
; his finger on the act which couples them
! with that doctrine? It is most, true that
! the Republican party are opposed to the
j enslavement o( any one who bears the Di
j vine image and likeness. It is equally
true that no man can be a good democrat
; in these days unless the fir<t article in his
.creed is that he " don't care whether sla
: very is voted down or voted up." Rut
here ar<' five states admitting negro equal
ity into their laws and constitutions, and a
sixth where they proposed to do so, though
the people failed to ratify the proposition
i —and all done by the democratic party. —
And not only so, but the democracy of the
United States elevated to the Presidency
I one of the champions of the doctrine, and
to the Vice Presidency a person who was
actually married to a colored woman and
who, in the event of the President's death,
would have been mistress of the White
House! Q lite likely she would have lent
j grace to the Presidential levees. Quite
! likely she would have received the foreign
Ambassadors with dignity and suavity ; we
have always heard her spoken of as an ac
complished lady. Rut O, what a com
ment cn the democracy and negro equail

Common Sense.
Mr. Editor.—That merit should not go
unrewarded, is a truism universally ac
knowledged, but that it is not always fully
requited is a fact equally well substantia
ted. To the truthfulness of this kat as
sertion the late action of the school-board
of Lcwistown, is no exception. Not that
they made poor selections ; on the contrary,
we believe in this particular they acted
wisely; nor that the aggregate amount to
be paid per month is too small; Sooß is
(food compensation for all the talent and
muscle they employ; hut that each, irre
spective of experience or aptness to teach,
should receive the same compensation, in
not only unreasonable, but unjust.
Were the cramming of the mental man
the sole aim, were the memorizing 01 a
specific number of words or facts the whole
of educating, then, indeed, might there be
some apology for such a course. And with
a certainty might we predict that in a few
years there would be a schoolteaching ma
chine. But no one believes in this mechan
ical teaching; none are so blind as not to
see there is f a knack in the thing'—a
'knack,' too, that experience only perfects.
And yet we are told that 'each has his six
hours to teach, and that each is equally em
ployed.' Tndeed! So does the hod carrier
work as many hours as the master mason,
hut does reason or justice say, pay him the
same? It is the business of each, too, to
lilt brick and mortar and lay it down again,
and. mavhap, the hod carrier lifts the more
and the harder of the two. Shall we pay
him more? Why not? Simply because
any one with strong calves arrd a steady
head can carry the hod ; but practice, arid,
intelligence, ami they alone make the mus
ter mason, and he it is that receives the
more, not the fiStridr tor'the botch. ''-THe
botch nw>/ take the brick and build a wall,
but it'l3 the master mason that erects the
substantial and symmetrical edifice.
Arid thus with teachers. All may hear
recitations, all may 'keep' a school, hut on
ly the experienced can educate —can build
symmetrically. Does any
one doubt? Is it not common sense, that
experience in as necessary to teaching well
as to doing anything else well ? True, all
experienced teachers are not good ones, but
it is as true, that none arc as skillful with
out as with practice. Nor do I detract
ought from the young teacher. Without
doubt, his endeavors to excel will equal, if
not exceed those of more experience, but
if he can teach as well as they now, one
year from now he can teach better, and
and should receive more. Is not this com
mon sense ?
Besides, it is unjust to those whose aim
it is to teach. Already is tho idea too
prevalent that ' anybody can teach school.'
Poor encouragement is it (to selfish por
tals) to make the most of one's experience,
when the only reward comes in that other
world, and the only inspiration is derived
from knowing that it is the ' immortal
mind' that you are training: Ido not pro
pose now to go croaking over the 'profes
sional teacher/or gve_vent to any surplus
rhetoric in eulogizing his calling—for with
out doijbt school teachers are a ' great in
istitufion' —-but as an act of simple justice
"towards those that will or must teach, I say
'ft' is but right that experience should" not
"be overlooked, for that person who is a
teacher year after year, and becomes iro
better, professionally, for the discipline, is
not fft to teach, mrd instead ol rcceiviug
twenty-seven dollars per month, ought not
to receive *eveff. This we say is
COMMON SENSE.

Loo;; OV-T! —A. correspondent of the
Tribune, writing from Lister county, New
York, states that some rascals are travers
ing the State, swindling the farmers, pre
tending to sell a new kind of churn, and
rights for the same. By certain represen
tations and promises they have succeeded
in obtaining a large amount of money and
notes, such notes to be left with a preten
ded agent in each town, to whom churns
arc to bo sent. The notes thus obtained
they sell the first opportunity, and move at;
quickly. They have operated pretty-large
