Who is Mr.. iiunuiCutt,

W no Is .Ir. ttnilnlCnt.
Sir.-lu a speech delivered by Mr.. Hunni-
cult on the putlIc square. Il short time ago Ii"
is reported TO have said that the omen from
the North are tn" worst enemies of The u fri
can race. and he cautioned his audience COM
posed almost entirely of colorcd people to be-
ware Of them. This is no more than might
have been expected from a man of his ante
ccGcEiS. II should be remembered Lhal until
very recently Mr.. HUnucutt was one of the
pillars Of III" Democratic party. ANY one VINO
viii tak" the troubl" 10 lool; over the file Of
his - Clu'j>ti9a HH"nsr," published before. or
his book. published during the war, will no,
full 10 discover that he was one of The most
vehement and yiudictiye of Democrats, and
whenever he failed TO remove the doubts or
answer the arguments OF any 'nluCky ndi-
viduIi who happened 10 differ WIth him
either III religion or politics, h" did not h"si-
tate to d"mounc" him n an "iuiidcl,' q" 4 bo-
lilonist,' = Black Republican, or "niggrr
worshipper." l. il strange, then, that he
should con tinur his old democratic method Of
dealing with everybody who refuses 10 hing

In his book. published in Philadelphia du-
ring tn" war, The reverend gentleman says:
:" In politics II" has ARRAYS brcna Constitutional
p.0,oclut,' and the cOlorcd pcopl" would do
well 10 RENE l11--r this fact, !nasnuch as An
drew Johnson was alSOa Constitutional Demo-
crat. Hence it is that some Of The " men from
the North - who voted for Andrew Johnson
hesitate 10 place another man IN power who
belongs 10 The sam" school Of politics, and
who has, lhUS far, pursued very similar
course My. Iunnicutt was Z Cons titutonal
Democrat bcior" The war was Mr.. John

more likely that Mr. ilunnicut' will fulfil his
promises than did Mr.. Johnson? Mr. John
