no new lessons Of wisdom. Here each

victory, and yet both thoughts had lived
each in turn apparently to be crushed
out of existence. Tho impress of each,
however, had been left, and in 1858 the
compromise between The two had been

Tho Whitos Preparing to Loavo tho
South.
tho radlcals arc not cnccKcu Nv Inc
people of tho North, at tho coming
fall elections, it is quite evident that
before long tho whites of the South
will cmigratc to the loyal States, or
to foreign countries. A lcttor from a
prominent and distinguished South
Carolinian contains this paragraph
"Thcro is utter paralysis in tho
South ut the near and inevitable nro.,.
poet of negro supremacy. The White
people OF tho country will not be able
to live hcro-it will be simply intolc-
rablc. Therefore, those of us who can
got away are preparing to leave, al
though at present not many arc able to
do SO. You may expect negro repre-
sontation in Congress from the South.
The loyal league associations have
welded the ncgrocsinto solid political
organizations, which defy tho address
and influence Of their old masters
Tho white people will vote generally
against q ConvcntioA-tho negroes
are unit for it,"
This extracts shows tho feeling at
tho South, and it assumes q more scri-
Gus aspect from another part of tho
letter referred to, which states that as
soon as tho crops arc gathered and
sold, largo numbers of whites will
leave South Carolina for other States,
whore tho people arc not ruled by nc
groes. This, then, is to be the result
of the radical policy. South Carolina
and all the Southern States, wherein
the blacks havo maioritics, arc to be
deserted by all Of their wealthy and
Intelligent population, and the gov
ornmcnt of an immcpsc extent Of tor.
ritory will be loft in tho hands of thc
vory worst class of blacks, voted for
and supported by tho most ignorant,
dcprayco, fanatical raco on the face Of
tho Garth. 1t is not to be wondered
at, then, that tho vast majority of the
whites favor military dcspotism to re-
construction under tho negro policy Of
the radicals. Tho question now at
ISSUE arc being fast narrowed down to
these whether we shall have ten cx-
clusiyoly negro States in tho Union,
or whether tho whites shall bc tho
ruling raco throughout the country.
