CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 10, '56. "
H. G. Norton, q delegate to the mean
whites Convention at Philadelphia, and
latelay one of the company Of itinerant
miscegens started from tho gathering, ar.
rived here to-day. He states that he has
been forced to leave the mixed crowd
through disgust at their designs and re-.
puguancc at associatipg with negroes up
on terms Of social equality. He spoke at
Trenton with them week ago last Mon
day, and was with them in Albany on
Sunday last. He represents himself as
having been in their full confidence and
present ut their private meetings. Their
secret designs, he says, startled and dis
gusted him. Their main object he de-
clares to be to make an easy living with.
out honest labor, and to get what money
they can out of the crodulous dupes upon
whom they can impose. In order to
successfully carry. out this game they are
ready to mako their speeches to suit their
audiences, agreeably with their instruc-
tions from the politicians by whom they
are used in the different localities they
visit. But it is their determination after
the fall elections to inoite negro insurrec
tion. They say they must have immediate
negro suffrage or negro insurrection. In
their confidential conversations the say
this is very good way to got living to-
day; but when the elections are over these
people will not want us, and then our on
ly chance is to get the upper
hand Of the Southern rebels by the
aid of the disfranohisemcnt and negro
votes, or to exterminato them by means
ofa negro iusurrection and another war,
which would be sure to follow, The dis.
coy,ry Of this design, Mr.. Norton says,
determined to break his association with
the adventurers. He was further resolved
upon his course in consequence Of their
familiar association with negroes. Ran
dolph, the black miscegen, who is one Of
the party, eating, drinking and sleeping
with Jack Hamilton and the other, whites.
The Rev. Hope Baer is represented as
being also disgusted with the company.
He objected few days ago to their init.
mate social intercourse with negroes, and
was told he had better 60 away. s......
Indeed Mr.. Norton says nolhing bu'
tho free feeding, free riding and presents
they set keep the itinerant miscegon'
together. He says they do not pay :
cent wherever they go, and have received
gifts of money, clothing, shirts and shoel
at several places. lie describes Randolph
the negro, as tho snartest Of the band
and says he has collected a consid cradle
sum under the pretence Of aid to black
churches and schools in the South. Hon
nicutt, another Of the sturdy boggars, SO
licits subscriptions everywhere for hi
paper, and contrives to sponge triAe
here and there, out Of his dupes. Mr.
Norton refutes ali Jack Hamiltons slate
ments about the condition Of Texas, ant
asserts that he is kept away from tha
State, not from fear Of assassination, bu

| The deserter tells some hard storie
about bis late associates, and says thn
Hunnicutt, after preaching 10 Troy las
Sunday, was in q very uuprcacher lik'
condition 10 Albany in the evening"
This is all oil course the statement Of |
man who, as an associate Of such com
pany, may well be open TO criticism, bu
his story at least shows enough to prov
the real character Of the radical misccgeI
campaigners to induce decent men OF al
parties to avoid associations with them.
