The Way They Talk.—A Fremont Black Republican, whose name we have, said to a Democrat on Monday that "he would rather his daughter should marry a nigger than a Dutchman, any day." Another the same day told another Democrat that "a nigger was a d—d sight better than a Dutchman all the time." Yet another of the same stripe told the Probate Judge of this county, a day or two ago "that he would not feel at liberty to object to his daughter marrying a respectable negro, no more than if he were white." This is the way Fremont men talk.—Dayton Empire.
