Hon. H. j. Raymond.

The conspicuous prominence enjoyed by Hon.
II ESRY J. RAYMOND as the congressional
leader of the conservative wing of the Repub-
lican party, and the interest excited in his be-
half, 10. the South, by his recent displays OF
moderation and patriotism, will doubtless rem
der brief sketch of him acceptable to our
readers. The facts are taken from more eX-
tended sketch published in the Washington
correspondence of the Boston Evening Com
mcrcjal.
Mr.. RAYMOND appears to have built himself
up bv his own indomitable energy and perse-
verance. In lS47-S he was a reporter on the
New York Courier and Enquire. When he
lett the Courier and Enquirer, he engaged with
others in the enterprise of establishing the New
York Times, of which he became editOr-in-c chief.
To his skill in management, tact in direction and
ability as u writer, the Times is chiefly indebted
Tor its remarkable success. 1t has brought
,ayor, wealth and influence TO him. Mr.. RAY
,IoND, although comparatively unknown when
ae took charge OF the Times, soon became q
prominent man in political circles. He became
a member OF the New York Assembly, Of
which he was elected Speaker, and subse-
mently was chosen Governor of the Common
wealth. He appears now, for the first time, IN
Congress. His political experience, his control
of an influential organ of his party, his init
mate personal and political relations with lead
inc Statesmen, especially with the Secretary
of State, Mr.. SEWARD, all conspired to make
him prominent aspirant for important position
in the House Of Representatives. By common
consent he was assigned to places on the most
important committees in the House, and thrust,
by the circumstances in which he found
himself into the position of leader and
spokesman for his party. How he will ill this
position remains to be seen. 1t not only requires
skin and adroitness, but dash and audacity.-
lie who stands in antagoniSm to the domineer-
inc. astute and INSCRIPTIONS Radical leader
from Pennsylvania, must be able to WELD not
only the cleaning scimetar Of SALADIN, but the
pouderous battle axe OF RICHARD Of England
We present the following extract from the
sketch published in the Commercial:
Mr.. Raymond is a man of small stature, com.
pactly built with appearance of lusty health and
.,reat power of endurance. he Is OF very dark com
plcXion. has q good head broad and capaciOus
forehead. which rises in splendid proportions The
top of the head looks As though It would have
rounded of more symmetrically had not the devel-
| opment been forcibly impeded. He has keen eye
aud look full Of intelligence. He Is fluent speaker
aud a good debater, ready at reply, unembarrasSed
/ amid the attempts Of any number Of opponents u
cOniOund him and interrupt the thread of his argu-
ment and is altogether practical, earnest working
man, from whom much valuable service may be
/ reasonably ntcipated"

1.-THE Shame of the Ace "

The Boston Journal has made startling dis
,overv 1t is that " hatred Of and prejudice
rJailst the negro" is " the shame of the age :"
The Journal argues it manfully. 1t describes
the negro as a naturalist would describe some
strange animal discovered in the woods 1t
SAYS The condition and habits of the negro
q in his own land are noworSe or more revolving

9. feeling exists. His docility is his most
Sc marked characteristic. He is not canibal.
SO lie is initiative, social, merry and naturally
religious" Ii is very manifest that the BOS-
ton journal has a much lower estimate OF
Sam6o than We have down South, if that is all
that 1t can say. The Journal evidently felt
'hat II was engaged in an uphill business.
AGAIN says the Journal: "This creature has
been an article OF merchandise,v sc. Again,

If all this is true, does it not occur to the

The Propar Course for the South.

1t is very clear to us all that the President
wishes we'll to the South, and that il his will
could prevail, the Southern States would now
be back in the Union, and Southern Repre-
sentatives occupying their seats in Congress
1t is also clear that there would be no legisla-
ton by Congress on the subject Of negro sui
frage in the States, but that it would be let( to
the control Of the several States, as has all
along been the case. 1t is equally certain that
he would pay respect 10 the almost unanimous
opinions and wishes of the people Of the Dis
trict of Columbia, recently expressed at the
polls against the extension to the negroes OF the
elective franchise. Ii Is clear that nc is strong
IL opposed to the numerous constitutional
amendments daily offered in Congress, and
that he regards the prevalent spirit ofinnoya-
ton and change as full Of danger to the stabili-
tv and permanence Ofthe fabric Of Government
handed down to US by our fathers. He has
more than once likened these numerous propo-
sitions for amending the Constitution to ''pre-
ambles and resolutions at town meetings -
The President makes no cOncealment as To ms
opinions and wishes On the contrary, he
ayails himself of all proper occasions TO make
them known, with the double purpose,
doubtless, OF placing himself correctly
before the country, and Of exercising, If posi-
bic, wholesome and restraining influence upon
the revolutionary radicalism Of Congress. The
reserve he maintained at the opening OF Con-
gress is now thrown of. Much of the radical
legislation then initiated was 50 initiated under
the pretext that it was not in conflict with any
avOwed opinions or wishes OF the President.
He now strips them Of every such pretext. bv
expressing, distinctly and clearly, his opipions
and wishes, and by giving opportunity for their
publication throughout the country, so thar If
Congress shall persevere in carrying out these
radical measures, it will be with the fun under
standing and knowledge that the President is
opposed to them. To what extent the action
Of Congress will be influenced by these public
manifestations on the part of the President, re-
mains TO be seen. The radical leaders appear
Tins fartobe regardless Of all the checks andre.
straints that are attempted to be placed upon
them. Whether they will continue theil
course and press the measures they have
commenced, to the Presidents threatened
veto, and over it, viii soon be made
apparent. We say threatened veto, be-
cause we feel warranted by the strong
disapprObatOry language used recently by
the President, in assuming that he will apply
his veto to most OF these measures, if forced
upon him by Congress. Il is idle to suppose
that confidence and good will can subsst be-
tween Congress and the President, should the
majority persist in their extreme course.
The course for the South to pursue is plain
It is very manifest that We can gain nothing by
tbrowtn9 ourselves into the contest. 1t is OuI

argue ? If all white men feel disgust for the
negro, as the Journal supposes, is it not plain
that there is an adequate natural cause TOR
.iti
Again says the Jo,Tnal-'' Social equality is
SO not the issue. There is not, and never will
&" be, lchits social equality. Social intercourse
ais governed by custom, taste, affinity, rank,
''wealth. These and similar influences will
- always control. Hence it is idle to argue for
social equality on any basis" Then what
is the Journal arguing for! Political equal
ity? 1t would require but a small share of
reason to convince the Journal that if the
whites hate" the negroes, when they have
neither social nor political equality with them,
and are, therefore, in no sense competitors,
that they would hate them infinitely more if
they enjoyed this equality and were competi-
tors The frank disclosures of the Journal
| indicate a refreshing simplicity on the part of
that newspaper. We have always heard that
the Northern people had great distaste for
the negro-a disgust, indeed, that makes their
gorge rise"
| We are here reminded of very sensible
speech made, some time since, in Petersburg,
to the freedmen by a colOred man. The
speaker said that he lived North many years,
and had but recently returned from northern
trip; that, while living North and during his
recent visit, he had frequent occasion to OBJ
serve that the white people of the North had
no real feeling for the colored people-that they
did not know how to treat them. They looked
upon them as "niggers," and behaved to them
accordingly. But, at the South, they were
spoken to and treated with kindness, and that
the Southern people we're their best friends.
However much the negroes may be hated at
the North, we assure the Boston journal
that they are not hated at the South. Not an
hour passes even now, since the negroes have
been granted their freedom, that they do not
receive kindnesses from their former masters,
poor as they themselves are, that would never be
extended to them in Northern cities. No, the
Southerners having become accustomed to ne
grOes, have conquered that repugnance to them
that NorthernerS feel, who know but little about
them, and who turn from their black skins and
woolly heads with disgust. But while the as
ISOLATION we have had with them has enabled
us to overcome this repugnance, it has strength
ened that instinct of superiority resident 1.-THE
bosom of every white man, which would make
the negro odious, if violence were done to ma
ture, by an attempt on the part of the North,
cooperating with absurd aspirations on the
part OF the negroes, to place them on social
and political equality with ourselves. Let the
negro forever remain free let him behave
himself, and keep the position of inferiority
that nature evidently intended him to occupy,
and he will always have friends among the
Southern whites, no matter how much the
Northern whites may hate" him.

THURSDAY, February LIST.
PATRIOTIC RESOLUTIONS.

PATRIOTIC RESOLUTIONS.
The following resolutions were introduced
DIV Mr.. KEEN, of Pittsylvania, and unanimous
ly adopted;
Resolred, by the General Assembly of Vir-
qinid, That the people of this Commonwealth,
and their representatives here assembled, cor
daily approve the course of policy pursued by
Andrew Johnson, President of the United
StAes, in reference to the reconstruction OF
the Union. We abide the issue OF the late
contest we do not desire to renew what has
been so conclusively determined; nor do we
mean to permit any one subject to our control
TO attempt its renewal or to violate any OF our
obligations TO the United States. In the wise,
finn and just action that Andrew johnson has
commenced we mean to cooperate with all the
energy and powers which we can devote to
what is obviously the cause of liberty and re-
pose in all our borders.
''ResOIrcd, That knowing, as we do know, that the
above declaration represents the universal sentiment
and purpose of our people. perform a duty TO
ourselves and to the people of Virginia when We de-
nOunce, as criminal and cruel assaults upon our
character and interests, the efforts of those who
promote evil designs by representing views and
intentions TO be different from those which we here
assert. That we have in our midst persons who find
their interest temporarily promoted by such course
of Misrepresentation is one OF the msfOrtunes of our
present political condition To the intelligence and
the integrity of those who rule the powers of the
United States Government we look for safeguard
and protection against these malign influences"
