1t win be remembered BY the tadefs Of
the Enquirer, that We pub lished sotne tima
ako a statement from Southerh sources, that
there were secret organizations beitig gotten
up among the blacks of the South, undef
the promptiugs of Northern Radicals; and
that the purposes ofthese organizations wer1
to secure civil and political rights to ths
blacks, as also division Of the cultivated
lands Of the South among that class. The
Radical presses thade light of the stdtehentj
without. however, denying its truth. -,
By reference t0'6he Of the special wash
ington dispatches, it will be seen that dis
play was made on the Fourth, at Richmond,
Virginia, by some Of these organizations
much TO the surprise of most Of the whites,
who did not believe any such organizations
existed
The e$istahce Of these organizations Ess
known to few, who we're not. however, the
less surprised at this open demonstration of
their existence and power.
The Richmond Times was Of those that
had some knowledge of these negro 6rganil
cations. In its issue of the ID Instant, if

equal number of negroes assemble for the
vicinity of the Chimborazo Hospital grounds.
There have been no complaints Of the dis
turbance crested by these negroes, for there
is among otir people feeling that the pro;
eeedings have the sanction of the United
States military authorities. "
What does all this iiicaii? To ts; who
have been watching the utterances Of the
pulpit and of anniversary negro celebrations,
the answer is easy. Another civil war is
the meaning, and which civil war will spring
| from war Of races.
Our readers will recall to mind the ex.
tracts we have published from sermons de.
| lveted, here and there over the North, and
resolutions adopted by religidis-- so called
and anti-slavery bodies, to the effect that
unless civil and political rights we're awarded
to the freedmen, they--the freedmen
| should assert the right by iorce
Any body of the least reflection knows
that these secret military organizations OF
| the blacks of the South can not exist withs
out producing bloodshed. The whites can
not allow them to exist. Their own safety
demands that such organizations be sup.
pressed. The whites, in self defehse, will
| be compelled to arm and drill and nobody
can doubt that the resuit will be armed coll
lision That is what the Radicals of the
North want. And TO bring that about is
their great strategetic point. =,
Forewarned is forearhed II the Radis
Gals can oterpower the Pre- ident, and carry
the election this fall, civil war will follow,
just so shure as the sun rises in the morn
ing and sets in the evening. And'civi war
will be brought about by these military
organizations of the blacks, organized
and insprited by Thad. Stevens. Sum.
ner, Wade & Co. In view of this state of
affairs, we advise the people of the South
to prepare fol the contingency. Their lives
and their property are at stake. Both will
be sacrificed if the Radicals are successful.
And, to the people of the North, we will
say, peace at home requires that the RadiI
Gals be put down, Civil war at the North
is not more sure than is war Of races at
the South, if the Radicals can get control
of the Federal Government.
The Democratic party is for cohcilat OH,
pacifcation and unity. Such they also un-
derstand is President Johnsot's position.
That is the only grounds upon which all can
stand, who want to advert civil war at the
North, and unite both North and South ia
bonds Of fraternal unity.
