WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-As an
illustration of the arguments upon
which the election in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and New York arc expected
to turn, the following from to days
Herald is telegraphed:
"To- day h G negro supremacy
views of Congress will be carried
into practical effect in Louisiana.
To-day from early dawn this morn
ing until tomorrow evening, eighty
three thousand semi-savages will
go up to the polls led by unprincip-
led white men, and by sheer force
of numbers, sweep from power the
wealth and intelligence Of the State.
The thirty-fve or forty thousand
whites who have been permitted to-
register, will, we are told, content
themselves with simply depositing
their votes against u convention,
thus protesting against the eHecu.
ton Of q political doctrine they had
no power to avert, and the success
Of which they feel assured will en-
tail irreparable injury upon them
selves and their posterity.
The call for Il convention having
thus been carried by the negro hor-
DIES, let us see Of what material the
convention itself will be composed.
Not prominent Louisianian will
be there, not a man Of standing in
the community. Tic Republican
nominees, who will certainly b c
elected, stand as four negroes to
three white adventures. L h i s,
then, will be the composition Of the
convention called to frame con
stitution for the State that gave Il
Taylor for President Of the United
States.
Is not this entire thing utterly
revolving? and can we Of the North
palpably swallow SO gigan t C II
fraud upon right, and so beastly Il
caricature upon human liberty?
Forty five or fifty negroes assem-
bling in convention to do what?
70 perform an act the very meaning
of which they are most ludicrohsly
ignorant. And who are their assis-
tants? A handful of white men,
whose very course, in consenting to
su h an utilization, stamps their
characters as being thoroughly
worthless. There is one instinct
which cannot be cradicatcd from
the mind of q white man, and that
is the supremacy of his race above
all others. Prejudice against color
is but the natural instinct of the
superior against contamination, and
try what the orists may, the bar
riers which caste, in that sense, has
erected, can never be brok en-
through successfully. The present
farce in Louisiana will be successful
for while, but the signs of the times
tCo plainly indicate that the hour is
approaching when it and all other
kindred dogmas will be swept away
in the torrent of public indignation.
We cannot, therefore, stand qnietly
and witness the debasement of our
own race in Louisiana. California,
Connecticut and Maine, have re-
buked the effort at negro supremacy
before its practical effects have been
seen, and we tell the Radicals of
these United States that their cheers
of JOY at the success of their dog
mas in Louisiana, this day, will be
answered back by the people of the
loyal North, in October and Novcm
Der next, in such tones Of indigna-
ton and disgust as will inform the
world better Our recent war was
fought for the preservation of the
Union, not for the exalation of the
negro and the enslavement of men
of our own color
action, however, is necessary in
Federal and British courts.
