DANGER AHEAD.

DANGER AHEAD!
If our sadly -demoralized radical friends in
tho North 20 wrong, it is not because we have
been an unfaithful Waterman on the tower.
We have called aloud and spared not We
have warned these insensatc and reckless men
that the course they were pursuing was apt to
lead TO sin and misery-that the people OF the
South were patient and long-su1ering, and
would not stand il. When Major Hastings and
his FIVE hundred unrcconstructed Southerners
announced their intention of going to Brazil, we
sounded higher note of warning. We ad-
dressed our appeals to the people of Alabama.
We especially warned our radical people North
that they would wake up some morning and
find the whole unrcconstmctcd South on the
way TO Guatemala or Brazil or Mexico. We
fear that our warnings have been in vain.
Our amablc, If not always trustworthy,
contemporary, The Daily Ncrs, assures us
that there is great danger ahead. "There
is rapidly increasing tendency on the
part Of the Southern people TO seek in
foreign lands refuge from the intolcra-
bic burdens which the Republicans threaten to
impose upon those inhabitants Of that section
who braycly and honorably fought for the indie
pendence OF their States, and in defense Of their
homes" This il explicit. Let Us look at the
list Of bravo men who have fed from their
homes. Gen. Sterling Price is now in Mexico,
s nor of something. Capt. Maury is nor
Of something else. Jolly Jack M0gruder Is dis
playing his fancy uniforms in the Halls Of the
Moutcmmas, aud they say-yes, they will say
it-that the Emperor is not as happy husband
as he might be-that the good man has really
occasion for concern, ard that we may soon ex-
poet rare scandal ain high life" This We eau
believe, for Jack with bis red breeehos was al
ways an irresistible Loiharo.
We could spare these Seniors If we thought
The exodus would stop here. The unrccon-
s,ructei Magruder is no, great loss. He was
never useful. though somewhat ornamental
We can cross the Gulf stream whether Maury
comes back or not, nor do we think that stor-
ling Price is necessary 10 the integrity oil tie
Constitution. This, however, l. not The end Of
il. "On the 2-lh OF last November fifty of the
best citizens Of Alabama, of both sexes, arrived
In Mobile on routc TO Brazil" Again, ", are
assured that "every steamer which leaves our
ports for Vera Cruz takes to that place other
men, whose undaunted spirits cannot brook the
degradation which the Republican party is sceh.
ing to heap upon them, aud we know that 9TH
crs--many others-are making ready 10 follow
their example" The Emperor of Ba1il
receives them " with marked demonstration fl
delight and welcome" We can imagine Don
Pedro taking Ia his arms the unreconstructcd
baggage be put away. ii he invites them Ia
his palace we trust, for the sake Of his house
keepers he will give no such invitations to the
parlors. Beauregard assures us that nothing
but Johnson's kindness kept him from going Ia
the Brazils Now that johnson has been "a
kind he would prefer to live here poor AID
forgotten than TO be endowed with honor aud
riches in foreign country" We presume
Beauregard is "an undaunted spirit" and that
if lac can :" brook the degradation" the rest o
them should not be so FESTIVE
"Can Americans" says our contemporary,
view these events with satisfaction" Well
We do not think that our appetite fails us, OIL
that there is a necessity for soothing sirups ol
sedntives. If we are asked what We think o
the unreconstructed running away, we can only
say We do not think Of it. They may 20 OF
= stay rs it pleases them. They may obey the
laws Of this country, or if those laws are toe
onerous, let them 90 and obey the laws of some
other country. II Don Pedro will be morc
kind, or if Macmillan viii give them crosses
and patents of nobility, they should accept the
offers and 60. We do not intend to Cypress The
unreconstructed, to coax them to remain or to
drive them away. Their future is in their own
hands. As long as they obey the Constitution
they shall Dc treated as good citizens. When
they break them they will be whipped as they
were whipped before
TIE PARTY OF TIE FUTURE.
