riar they cement with blood made firm by divine de-
cree The war at present raging between tAc Whites
and Blacks is not a war OF Races, but war Of Inter
este Human passions, not Proyldential antaGonsms,
are at strife We need not call in Destiny to explain
what deyiltry will explain Just as we'll and better
too.
That striEe i, impending between the Whites ana
tbo Blacks in the late Slave States is, we apprehend
very evident OF that struggle the BLACKS may w
the occasion, but the Whites are the cause i'"u
Emancipation been practically more universal 'uiu
complete than it is now the struggle might nave
avoided because then the negroes would nave pcch
OH civil and political equality with their iornei
masters aud could have put forth show oil Strens'n
that might have held their enemies in check or even
extorted from them concessions Of privilege. 1t the

prophecy that has brought the second so near 10
fulfllment Had tho Freedmen again. shown thciii-
selves lcss Industrious sober, thrifty temperate en-
ulous the struggle might have been avoided; for in
that case the Whites would have had pretex for
standing not on their contempt, perhaps, but on their
sjlent armsfolded Indifference. AT present, Jealousy
ministers to their rage. The negro proves himself al
together 100 capable Of solsupport too ready for edu
cation too eager for the influences OF civilized lie
and hi, former lords find themselves unable to live
with him on equal terms OF labor and progress
When the Blacks are equally free with the Whites we
confidently predict that the War Of Races VIII
become a phrase instead Of fact, and
a phrase fifty describing nothing but al exploded
prejudice War of Races, forsooth Neither race Is
yet in condition to do justice to itself The negroes
arc not because they are not yet emsncipated from

not, because they are not yet emanopated from tbe
bondage OF habit and opinion These habits ana opIh-
ions may be ncurabe in the present gcneration they

against Bureaus and bayonets; but they will yield 70

Adam will pass away. The races live together COM
fortsbly and TO mutual satisfaction when they live
together on equal terms they do in some parts OF
the British West Indies II is inequality that beget'
war. Equally free, they will be equally cordial pros
porous and happy in the United States. Neither the
White man nor the Black man of 1921 was the same
being that he il in 1866. Circumstances alter and
the prophet who feels his way along the line OF cir
cumstances will always be at fault, as Jefferson Will
prove 10 he vet in bis predictions that the races cannot
in equal freedom, live together. Principles never

The platform Yesterday reported BIZ Mr.. COwan to
the johnson Convention at Philadelphia, contains,
among many generalities and commonplace, three
important afirmations:
. l. The right to be represented In Congress and in
the Electoral Colleges is " a right abiding in every
State" and indefeasble.
g Nobody should be chosen to Congress who will
not assent to and act in accordance with the foregoing
proposition.
B. The right to prescribe qualifications for the
Elective Franchise is reserved to the States, (Which
right Congress cannot interfere with"
In palmer terms the johnson Convention atnns that
the Whites of the South who fought for years to dc.
stroy the Union have to-day all the rights therein
that they ever had; while the loyal Blacks Of those
States have rights whatever but such as the late
Rebels choose TO concede TO them.
On the side of the Rebels, all is matter Of rght on
the side Of the Unionsts there is but grace and favor
and precious little of these. If tomorrow the "re-
stored" Rebels of Mississippi and Louisiana should
see fit TO arrest Try, convict and hang as traitors
every Black who served in the Union armies, they
have perfect right TO do so under the Cowan plat
form, and there is no power in the Union TO prevent
or resist them in so doing
| The Cowan platform asserts that there is no desire

Sires and purposes change from day to day. il is
the right of the Southern Whites TO enslave the
Blacks that we wish precluded. II Their desire and
purpose are to control we shall have sayey reestab-
iished IN fact within the next ten years.
True, the platform tells us that the enfranchised
slaves should receive equal protection with Whites

that a great while ago. But what signifies this SO

If the members of the Louisiana Convention were
destined to be murdered and imprisoned what should
have been done with the Secession Conventionsts Of
1867 Thisquestion is suggested by The Nsr Or.a~,
Times which refers as follows to the Free State Con
yention in New-Oreans:
IF the meeting OF this usurping Convention shoni be or
ated on the round that citizens have right assemble vAes
they please then all Secession conventions lawful
bes their acts harmless pleasantly and TO have in

OF the Untei States authorities

LOYAL and for the Union and that those who under
took TO eStingush it in blood were Secessonsts and
convicted law breakers 1t was question unsettled
whether this Convention was Wsgat-no one thinks
of it as treasonabe-and the traitors and butchers

all its members 1t suits the champions OF scoundrel
