polled st any one precinct, and there be-
ing seven OF these In the city, only
twenty-one hundred votes would be
allowed to be polled within its
limits. But above all, the arrange
ments made by the conservatives
for separate polling places for the
blacks, spoke as plain "a speech could
make it, an undying repugnanee to the
negro, that with all his stupidity and
dizziness the "man and brother was not
slow to comprehend. Is IL 70 be won
dered at, then, that the negroes voted
for the radical candidates, who during
the past six months have eaten and slept
with them, and most thoroughly abased
themselves to their level? / think not.
Or, is it to be wondered at, that just
emerging from semi-bsrbaFism, unedu-
Gated and all unused to political Lriekery
and chicanery the negro should fall a
prey, as the whites have done before
him, to the smart lodges Of a party
having all the power and com
ing before his untutored eyes with
the force of power? Or, on the other hand,
is It to be expected that q negro mem
Der of a loyal league would be any less
true to his oath and obligation, or live
less in dread Of the results to follow
upon his disregarding that oath which
consigned him to assassination, than the
white men of intelligence who, under
the know-nothing banner, entered a
crusade against foreigners. And who
are responsible for these black leagues
The conservative citizens who to-day
pride themselves that they have never
bemeaned themselves by asking or seek
ing the negro suffrage, and insist that to
do so is to infict q elf-degradation they
could not survive. The impracticables,
who will not do anything themselves
nor allow others, are the men who have
counteracted the influence Of the con-
sentative papers and speakers who have
nObly done their duty. With q more
thorough organization, unity among
their press, a little more policy as to tue
negro, and half the printed matter and
money used by the radicals, the con-
servstives would have been victorious.
With Grant to rally upon they could
certainly be successful.
So far "a this writer eensures the APP
PEAL, without naming it, for not con
senting to negro suffrage as part Of the
Conservative platform, we have only to
say that we followed the course that our
conscience and judgment approved, and
that it would have been far wiser and
better if the whole Conservative party
had done the same. 1t is all bosh to
talk in the style of the closing paragraph
Of the HeTuId'S correspondent. The
Conservative party never had the ghost
OF a chance even to divide the negro
vote. Policy and hypocrisy used to-
wards the negroes only caused them to
despise those who cajoled them organiza-
ton Of the whites could effect nothing
printed matter would have been like
blank cartridges, fred at the negro; and
nobody sent as money from the North,
to be used in bribing the negroes.
Would have been victorious indeed

INrOLERANCE AND VIOLENCE.

The Radical journals persist in talking
of " the intolerance and violence which
has been fostered by the rebel press"
Was any Radical candidate, in Tennes-
see, warned, as Mr.. ETHERIDGE was in
East Tennessee, not to attempt to ad-
dress the people if be valued his life? Did
any Radical speaker maintain his place
on the stand, with folded arms, as he
did, while the bullets whistled about his
ears, and he was In more danger than he
would have been in battle2 Was any
Radical negro orator driven from the
stand, and prevented from speaking, and
threatened with moh-lsw, as WILLIAMS
was? What has become Of the Captain

shot him? It was announced that he

:. THE nTGHER CIVILIZATION,


About q year before the war, Mr..
CHARLES SUMNER, then and still 8
Radical Senator from Massachusetts,,
characterized the Southern States, in a
laboured speech, as "THE BARBABY
STATES OF THE UNION" and formally
produced the proof that this designation
was correct, by a collection of scraps
from Southern papers, recording acts and
occurrences of a violent, cruel and dis
reputable character.
About six months ago, in the course of
a reply to an article written by us, the
Radical journal in this city, contrasting
the South and especially Tennessee, with
the Northern States, spoke of "THE
HIGHER CIVILIZATION" Of the North.
We then intended at our leisure to ex-
hibit to q readers some Of the real
features Of this Higher Civilization"
Of which they we're 90 ~eourteously re-
minded by wi contemporary. Other
matters have engaged our attention
until recently, when the subject was
again forced upon our notice, by what
the Radical organ calls Northern
sewers and o~ut-houses," that Radical
Journal the New York Tribune, sermons
preached in New York, and other sources
of information. We therefore gathered
and preserved q few cut of re many
daily accounts in the Northern journals,
Of GnEu 81 MIC anT arF,a, nnI 81 kh~
caustic denunciations Of the state of
" the Higher Civilization by the
Northern Press and Pulpit, and have
given them to our readers, TO enable
them to Judge how far the journals
Of rsdicalism North aud South are
entitled to hold Northern society
up to US as a model, or to libel our own
people as of a Lower Civilization. On
the same principle We retaliste when our
soldiers are charged with inhumanities
in war, and our leaders with cruelty to
prisoners. The Radical organ compares
the North to LAZARUS with his sores;
but the comparison is faulty. The North
is more like DIVES, the rich man, clothed
in purple and fine linen, and faring
sumptuOusly every day. The South,
like LAZARUS, receives the crumbs that
fall frcm the rich mans table, and it is
the Radical dogs that lick its sores and
rob it even of the crumbs. Perhaps the
parable may also hold good, in the ulti-
mate fate Of the North and South.

sets il of thousands Of disconnected ne
groes, against whose exit very few even
Of their own peculiar friends will object.
They must, however, bear in mind that
unless engaged in some industrial call
ing or exercising a profession, they will
not be allowed to vote. What the Egg
fish aristoerats call the residuum OF So
ciety' is placed under the ban wen In
this model of African Tepublicanism.
Not that we find fault with this clause
Of the Haytien constitution, but it Is well
for those who for years have been en-
shaved in this country and now clamor
for the ballot to be placed in their hands
without regard to their station or cOndi-
ton Of life, to be made acquainted with
the fundamental law of a government
which certainly they cannot fall to look
upon as the very best African nationality
existing anywhere.
The new constitution though protesting
to be based upon thorough democratic
principles, and, in fact, proclsiming free
worship throughout the territory Of
Hayti, nevertheless provides for stipends
to be paid by the state to the ministers OF
the Roman Catholic religion; but this
relic Of monarchical institutions Is only
in keeping with another section which
" BAA5 AAiE Wills IL kASA%N E
for political debate, without permission
Of the police authorities. Time will show
whether the new constitution will Sc
cure that welfare and permanent peace
to this African commonwealth which Its
admirers look forward to with such san
guine hopes; but the past history Of the
republic warns US to wait and see"
| Constitutions read very well on paper
and may challenge the admiration o.
mankind but it is not the parchment
that governs a country, and we will have
to watch its practical working In Hsyti
before joining hands with those whopoint
to it as the best possible proof Of the ht'
ness Of the colOred race for self-govern-
ment.
Thus, while our demented rulers are
choking universal and undiluted Negro
suffrage down the threats of the South
ern States, and trying to force it on theiI
own States, the model negro Republic
itself limits the right of suffrage by re-
curing men to be engaged in some in
dustrial calling, or exercise some profess
sion, to be entitled to vote. The negro
Legislators Of Haiti have more sense
than the white ones Of the UnitedStates
