evening. E A Al
GEx stocun has arrived at Syracuse.
From the speech he made to his neighbors,
we infer that he declines the Democratic
nomination. Thus he spoke:
The time having come when I could con-
sistently leave the military service, I have
| returned to civil life with an earnest desire
to lend my influence in support Of that pol
icy. On reaching homo find two parties
one unit in supporting that policy, and the

party should, as q supporter Of President
Johnson's efforts, have identified myself
Tue WISCONSIN Radical Convention de.
cided to support the State ticket already in
| nomination, and resolved as follows, among
other things: .
Resolved, That we extend cordial welcome
and confidence TO Andrew johnson, "faith-
full among the faithless, " and pledge him our
good will and support in his effort to restore
order among the communities so lately in re.
volt, and TO re. establish government there on
the basis Of equal and exact justice to all
men.
Resolred, That in our opinion II is incom.
patible with the honor of the nation, after
having called on the negro to aid II in the
hour Of its danger, to abandon him in the
hour Of that victory which his efforts helped
to secure; that to brand him rs unworthy the
right of suffrage is to deliver him disarmed
and helpless into the hands Of his enemies,
and that, therefore, 1t is competent and right
and In accordance with that national faith
which is virtually pledged to him for his pro-
lection, to impose on the States recently on
gagged in rebellion, rs a further condition Of
their return to full fellowship in the Union,
that in fixing the qualifications for the exer.
else of the elective franchise in their general
constitutions, they make no discrimination
against any person on account Of race or coloi
The Louisville Journal tells great deal
of truth in short paragraph devoted to the
late election in Kentucky. 1t says;
1--WE have for some time been trying, not
wholly without success, to convince ourselves
that the number of actual rebels in soul has
been inconsiderable since the close Of the
war; but, in view of the results Of last Mon.
days elections in some parts Of Kentucky,
We are apprehensive that we have been mis-.
taken. Certainly some Of the bitterest and
boldest, or rather most audacious, Of all the
rebels and rebel sympathizers in the State,
have been elected to the Legislature by large
majorities elected not in spite Of their be-
ing rebels or quasi-rebels, but for the rea-
son that they are rebels"

LOOK NOT BACK.

Let the people of the South beware how
they listen to the teachers who would have
them constantly looking back upon the dead
things Of the past. The rough hand Of war
has brushed away, net slavery alone, not
merely the municipal law which created a
conventional right to buy and sell the bodies
of men, women and children, but it disposed
at once of all the rubbish which half n cen
tury Of labor had gathered together and out
of which eheVeamr.de:fJiSs had been mude
for the protection of the monster.
Gov. PERRY, of South Carolina, took occa-
sion to say, in his address to the Convention
now in session in that State, that "this the
United States1 is white mans government,
and intended for the white man alone" The
Charleston Courier, taking up the idea, at
tempts its vindication, quoting the DRED
Scorr decision in support of the atrocious
calumny. The editor of the Courier and
most of its readers have had very limited op-
portunities for learning the tendency of pub
lie opinion among the loyal people OF the
United States the past four years, and we
fear they are not disposed now to listen with
patience to those who wish to ELL them
the truth. OF all the trash with which the
reign of slavery had encountered the law,
and the legislation of the country. no portion
has been so thoroughly annihilated as that
of the DRED sCorr decision. Whatever no,
tions may prevail in South Carolina, the poo
ple who have sustained this Government
against the assaults of the oligarchy have
pretty much determined that this is not n
Government for white men, or fer any Other
class of men alone Indeed, there is no point
upon which they are more generally united
or more heartily determined than on this
The South Carolina philosophers will proba
bly, learn this upon the assembling Of Congress
1t is likely to be made apparent in thu
Legislation touching the District Of Columbia
and we beg leave to call the attention of al
interested to the fact now, because it will b,
much better that they should learn the tru'
state of affairs now than half year hence
The people Of the United States have COM
to understand that their fathers fought
seven ytuTb Nhl W SoS"oheA WV
that all men are created free and equal, an,
then gave up n good part of the victory l.
the diplomacy of an aristocracy. Now W

the people do not propose to fight again
They have had quite enough of that, an
they hope their Southern brethren ar
equally satisfied. But they did battle 70
the whole people, not for part and tn
fruit Of their victory belongs to the entir
body,of humanity. They, not white mer
alone, but black men and white men, side b,
side, marched to the defence of the rights o
mankind, determined to win; they did so
and they will not yield again to diplomacy
Least of all, are re'they disposed to listen witt

NASHVILLE, Oct. 2.-Goyernor Brownlow's

law has worked we'll Prosperity is promised

offence; the mass with ten years disfranchise.
ment, whilst the leaders should meet with
neither mercy nor forbearance. Emigration
should be fostercd and encouraged. He is
convinced that white aud colored people can
not live together, politically or socially, as
equals, and advocates that some portion Of the
national territory adapted for q nation of
freemen be given the latter.
The testimony Of negroes Is recommended
to be given in courts. President Johnson's s
reconstruction policy is strongly endorsed in
the Governors message as the solo hope Of
the country.

INTERESTING CONFERENCE AT NORFOLK

INTERESTING CONFERENCE AT NORFOLK
A CoURT FOR THE FREEDMEN.-Maj. Gen. o.
o. Howard, Chief of the Freedmens Bureau,
had at tho City Hall at Norfolk conference
with the corporate authorities of Norfolk and
Portsmouth on the 2Sth ult. The chief sub
iect considered was the law Of Virginia pro-
vidng that negro testimony shall not be re-
ceiyed in courts against white men. The
General stated that he had visited nearly
every part of Virginia, and had as general
thing found the people disposed to accept the
condition of affairs as regarded freedmen,
cheerfully, as became an enlightened public.
His great object in making this tour was
to adopt some mode whereby freedmen might
obtain civil rights in the courts, denied to
them by the laws of the State; and to this
end he proposed that two gentlemen from
each county should be appointed, one to be
acceptable to the white citizen or employer,
and the other to the freedmen or employee
the two to be associated with the agent of
the Freedmen's Bureau and form board
which is to constitute court, having power
and jurisdiction to djudicate petty offences,
and impose fine Of from one to one hun.
dred dollars, or imprisonment from one to
thirty days, or both; offences of higher
grade to be submitted to higher tribunal,
civil or military.
The object of this arrangement was to
seek the cooperation Of the people, and
make a gradual committal Of the Government
to their hands. General Howard then refer
red to the education Of the freedmen, and
spoke of the expediency and necessity Of
having them educated that they might be en-,
abled so understand the laws which are u
govern them.
Mayor Tabb, of Norfolk, and Mayor Col
lins, of Portsmouth, made some remarks
vouching for the loyalty Of the people o
their respective corporations, and giving theil
views at length in relation to the freedmen
They were both glad TO adopt the suggestion
of General Howard relative to the Court.
1t was not stated when 1t is proposed Il
organize the Court.
In furtherance of the views Of Genera
Howard, the following circular has been is
sued:

RICHMoSD,VA., Sept. "a, 1868
