Under this head is couched all that breathes
bitterness aad hatred to the people Of the
South, and through its black canopy is seen
the scorching fires of revenge, hatred and
malice. We need not 60 so far from our
doors as is the capitol of the nation, to cite
instances Of the wrong that is being heaped
upon us, but here, in this State produce
enough testimony to show the most unthink-
ing that cruel war is being waged against
those who are utterly helpless and powerlcss
at the present time. If a proposition is made
which looks to the amelioration Of the de-
plorable condition of the masses Of the
south, it is frowned down by the radical
champions and consigned to what they hope
Is bOttomless grave. In our own State, as
in the halls of the nation, laws are made and
measures adopted by men who only repre-
sent minority Of the people. How long
this usurpation is to continue is the ques-
ton. Who can answer it? Are the Ameri-
can people so forgetful of their rights as to
couch in the background and let the bold,
wreckless few, by slow and measured tread,
encroach upon them and tie them hand and
foot? We do not believe that such a future
condition is in store for the children of men
who waged a seven years war for the boon
of republican freedom. The pent up fires OF
the great nations heart must have vent, and
when the thin crust yields to the shoulder
ing flames of popular Indignation, a change
must and will take place If this govern
ment is not founded upon the consent of the
governed, then the law and its blood bought
charter is a cheat, base and willful lie i
sthe people who inhabit the eleven Southern
States are not freely and fully citizens Of the
United States, then the boosted ensign o.
the nation haunts the fOulest falsehOOd evel
flung in the faces Of men or emblazoned upoI
the flag Of nation. Every school boy is
taught that each star on the American has
represents a sovereign State. If the grea
commemorative lately in rebellion are ne
longer States, then why are the thirty-siz
stars kept upon the flag of the American
Union? Why not blot out eleven of those
emblems from the constellation Radical
ism dare net do it; yet it says that clever
States have fallen, and are no longer sover
eign in their capacity.

We Must Work.

We want, says one of our exchanges, more
producers and fewer consumers of every
thing We have too many sellers and vendors
of all kinds Of articles, and too few makers
of everything that can be made to profit. Our
young men, are rushing into stores and
shops They want to be merchants instead
OF farmers, mechanics, miners, manufacturers,
machinists. etc. What is to be the upshot
of this policy ?-Why certain collapse and
bankruptcy. In Boston only five merchants
out of every hundred are rich when they re-
tire from business. In New York the num-
Der is still smaller. In Tennessee not more
than one In ten or twenty ever acquire a
competency to retire on. Not so with So
Der, frugal, and industrious farmers. Nor
ought it to be so with mechanics, or any
other labOring vocation.
We need enough thorough lawyers, doctors,
and merchants to attend to the business of
their vocations but every lawyer, or doctor,
or merchant that does not succeed In buisi-
ness, Is just one too many of intelligent
men taken out of the industrial operations
of the country BY far too many of our
promising young men are educated for the
professions or fer no particular vocation.
We heed our best educated men for farmers
mechanics, etc Now that all our people
should labor, both white and black, it is time
that sensible people were turning their atten-
ton to proper rearing of their children
to this end. The great object seems to be to
get the safest position we can to avoid hard
work. What is the consequence Incidence
and crime ELL the land
The most independent and certain vOca
tions are agriculture and its kindred employ
ments. This vocation affords the best
guarantee to health, competency and sound
morals. Generalization, usually begins in the
cities, towns and villages, and then spread
out into the rural districts When the mora
principle is weakened among the masses, the
Generalization produces idleness, and vicious
ness. Work, steady work is a powerful
counte racting agent against decentralization
and every good citizen should promote it.
