The Projected Work of the Insur-
rectiOnists.

rcctiOnists.
Even were the speeches in the South, OF
Wilson and KELLEY, 10 few white mobo-
Gratis aud the black mass not intended to In
cite civil war and bloody massacres, could
It be nationally supposed that they would
be productive Of any peaceful result?
Before WILSON started into Virginia his
bin for connscation of Southern lands and
his supporting speech had already gone
forth, aud the minds Of the negroes had been
imbued with the idea. OF his speech inI
Richmond, a listener wrote:
Wilson, Of Massachusetts,, Is here. lie is
coaxing the negroes to vote the MOngrel
ticket by promising them the property of
their former masters, and he Is trying tO|
frighten the timid whites TO support the
Mongrel ticket to save their property. j
am afraid he will succeed in deceiyiug the
whites or the blacks, for If the whites vote
with the Mongrels to save their property,
and the blacks vote the Mongrel ticket TO
get the white mans property, one or the
other must be deceived.
WILSON was followed by another Massa
chusetts emissary, one HAYWARD, who ad-
dressed the negroes in their own church,
and, to afford an idea of its character, iu-
tention and effect, we condensc little from
the Dispatch
lie said that the reporters Of the city pa
pcrs had made conspicuous his remarks that
negro was better than white man, as II
he had made an outrageous expression.
why said he, 81 had no idea that any
one was so stupid as to doubt it, lie then
said: "When 90 back to Massachusetts,
shall tell the people there that you are
determined to ride In the same street cars
Ia which any white man or woman rides ?
f"Ycs."l Shall tell them that you intend
to occupy any boxes or any seats In the
theater for which you pay your money ?
t"Ncs, ycs."l Shall | tell them that you
will go to any public schoo where people
are taught? ['Nes."l Shall | tell them
that you intend to 20 to any church where
the Gospel is-not as Mrs. PartingtOn says
dispensed withY ["Hes, yes.'l Shall /
tell them that you intend, in whatever
manner you may see fit to have every right
that any white citizen of the State of Mass
achuscts enjoys? ["Ges."l If you want
these things, and can not get them of your
selves, the young men of the Old Bay
State will help you to get them. They
came once and laid for months for you in
the Chickdthominy Swamps, and they will
come again. Cheers. We have paid taxes
to make you free, and we will pay more
to get you what you want tCheers.l
He then went on, as he said, TO caution
this vast audience. During his visit to
Richmond he had discovered bravery
among them that was astonishing. But
those who might be disposed to be reckless
he would warn that they owed duty Ia
the brave men who had risl.ed so much for
them. ICheers.l You would not endangeI
the life of the illustTious Underwood, would
you? t"No, no! that we wouldn't.
Well, then, As soon as he leaves you may
have Il high carnival for what you please
IL 10 lyi N-nt Nc IN, oil, az
10 do; for great masses generally do what
they have a mind to. Long and continued
cheering
Here John A. Fitchett arose and said
Mr.. Speaker, you may tell the people Of
Massachusetts that the colored people o.
Richmond are determined TO enter any
bar-room, hotel, theatre, or street-car they
may wish" ["Nes, we will;" cheers.l
The speaker said that law would hav,
to be passed for Virginia rs had beer
passed for Massachusetts, compelling hote
proprietors, etc, to allow the colored mel
equal privileges with the whites. Lou,
cheers and cries of" That's what we wan
here, and "We are going to have it here

The Times says
The number of negroes engaged in tn
riot was at first quite small, but soon tin
cry arose from those, Rally, boys, rally
kill every one of the id whitesm when
in an incredibly brief time, they appeare,
from every quarter, and the streets wer
filled with them to the number of severa
hundred, and the very heavens rendered
hideous by their yells and blOodthirsty i'm
precautions. These demonstrations wer
kept up with increasing violence till til
arrival of the detachment of soldiers frOu
the Libby.
In order to suppress the riot it becam
necessary to use much decision and fore
ON the part of the soldiers, some of whOl
dealt vigorous blows upon the outlaws, a
the only means of bringing them to thei
senses.
As Il proof that the negroes of this cit
have some diabolical intent in view, an
are preparing themselves for it, the large
portion of the fellows arrested on Saturda
night were armed with pistols, knives al
clubs, and during the row vociferated
the most outrageous manner toward Il
whites.
