The ADMINISTRATOR Potter. -
Those who own the land have the CAPT
tat to employ help, anl therefore some
of our Northern friencs ara deceived
when they, living afar off, think they
can exercise a greater control over the
freedmen than the Southern mon, who
have been reared where the institution
OF slavery has prevailed. Now, he did
not want the late Shareholders to control
the negro votes against white men. Let
each State judge Of the depository Of its

This was the emphatic declaration Of
President Johnson, which hs u reported
to have made in his late Interview with
the South Carolina delegation.
1t il useless to argue the question to
which the President alluded-univeisa
suffrage-here in The South, and We only
refer again to the position taken by him,
for the purpose Of allayins fears indulsed
in hy few among us, that the United
States authorities will endoavor to force
upon us another rule Every one knows
that if left to themselves the people 81
the South will settle the question with
tie greatest unaniuiity, and without any
controversy whatever. Bat some fear
interference "by authority" and we in
vite the attention Of I'LL such to the fact
that the policy Of the Administration il

1t may be that tho I publican party
viii yet BE- dragged Oh the platform IF
universal political equality, and become
the advocates of removal Of all social
and political disabilities that exist, 50 far
rs the blacks are concerned. Perhaps 4
large number Of that party will support
the new theory. Hence, such uitras as
Chase, Sumner, Philips, &c, may yet
lead party of Rad Gals Of great strength.
But the great majority, even at the North,
will ever recognize the fact that the two
races are distinctive-that the Creator
intended them to b. separate, and He
viii ever keep them separate. The ma
jority will remember that whenever dir-
ierent races have amalgamated, and this
is sure to occur when political equality
exists, at some period the resnit has
been social degradation. This majority
Will BRING The question nome 10 t!ielr own
States, and they will hesitate long before
they adopt the new policy, which VIII
operate upon themselves As well as others.
They viii look at the future Of The ques
ton, and viii not forget that an enhance
ment of political interests will ultimately
break down social conventionalities.-
This they will not want to see done, and
will desert the leaders who may uader-
take to force the obnoxious doctrine into
their party platform.
LET each State judgeof the depository
Of its own political power" is the policy
of the Administratio i. Around this
standard will rally the conservatives Of
the party that elected Mr.. johnson, and,
as it is apparent, the Radicals will force
the issue on the country, pcrsisteatly
from this time forward, he will at ouce
have powerful political influence to sup
port his views. The Democrats vii also
support this policy. There is, therefore,
no danger Of the triumph Of tie Radicals,
and those who are indulging fears t1 the
contrary are borrowing troubl, t.lat will
never oyertake them --liaco1 IelcgrdPk.
