Philadelphia Age accounts for Radical activity at the
South as follows:

fact that should not escape public attention The
Radicals have spared exertons keep the Southern
States out of the Union until the blacks should, under
the law, exercise the privilege of suffrage. They
have not, however, displayed anything like the
interest of energy in negro suffrage in the Northern
States This would first inconsistent and III
consistent it would be for any other than an Abolition
party. It is, however, susceptible of explanation.
The Radicals have counted certainly upon the votes of
the negroes Of the South in their favor.

who had lived among them and understood them too

vote it bids fair, from all accounts to disappoint the
Radicals.
