gems started from the gathering, arrived
here to-day He states that he has been
! forced to leave the mixed crowd through
disgust at their designs and repugnance
at nssociating with negroes upon terms
of social equality. He spoke at Trenton
with them week ago last Monday, and
was with them in Albany on Sunday
last He represents himself as having
been in their full confidence and respect
at their private meetings.
Their secret designs, he says, startled
and disguised him. Their main object
he declares to be to make an easy living
without honest labor, and to get what
money they can out of the credulous
dupes upon whom they can impose. In
order to successfully carry out this game
they are ready to make their speeches to
suit their audiences, agreeably with
their instructions from the politicians by
whom they are used in the different To-
calities they visit But in their meeting
among themselves they make no secret
of the determination after the fall cleo
tons to incite negro insurrection.
They say they must have immediate
negro suffrage or negro insurrection.
la their confidential conversations they
say this is very good way to get a living
to-day; but when the elections are over
these people will not want rs, and then
our only chance is to get the upper hand
of the Southern rebels by the aid Of dis
iranchisement and negro votes, or to eX-
terminate them by negro insurrection
and another war, which would be sure to
follow The discovery of this design,
Mr. Norton says, determined him to
break his association with the adven-
turers. 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 sleep
ing with Jack Hamilton and the other
whites. The Rev. Hope Baer is repre-
sented as being also disgusted with the
company. He objected a few days ago
to their intimate social intercourse with
negroes, and was told he had better 20
away.
Indeed, Mr.. Norton says, nothing but
the free feeding, free riding and presents
they get, keeps the itnerant miscegens
together. He says they do not pay a
cent wherever they go, ana have received
gifts of money, clothing, shirts and shoes
at several places. He describes RAN
dolph, the negro, as the smartest of the
band, and says he has collected consid-
cradle sum under the pretense of aid to
black churches and schools in the South.
Hunnicutt, another of the sturdy beggars,
solcits subscriptions everywhere for his
paper, and contrives to sponge little
here and there, out of his dupes. Mr..
Norton refutes all of Jack Hamiton's
statements about the condition of Texas,
and asserts that he is kept away from
that State, not from tear of assassina-
ton, but Of Indictment
The deserter tells number of hard
stories about his late associates, and says
that Hunnientt, after preaching in Troy
last Sunday, was in very unpreacher-like
condition in Albany in the evening. This
is all of course the statement of a man
who, as an associate of such company,
may well be open to criticism, but his
story at least shows enough to prove the
real character of the Radical miscegena-
ton campaigners to induce men of all
parties 10 avoid associations with them
