Notice.

Many persons subscribe for Godey's
and fetcrson's magazines, sending the
money through us. After they receive
the first number it is evidence that we
have done our duty, and we cannot
undertake to correct irregularities ofthe
mail by which they may fail to get some
future number. There are some who
seem to think that we print the mag
a%zincs, and apply to us for reasons why
they have failed to get this or thst nun.
Der, and it is really want of a little fore
thought or they would not trouble us
about a matter We know nothing more
Of than they do.

Negro Conventions.

We read ofnumcrous conventions OF
negroes over the country, to appoint
delegates to the Conservative State
Convention at Nashville next Tuesday.
From the signs of the times the negroes
are going to act with good sense
and go with their natural protectors.
More of them will vote the Conserva-
tive than the Mongrel ticket.

But the majority Of the Northern
people do not want that union. They
spurn IT, Postcrity will hold them re
spoRsible for the situation into which
they have plugged the couatry,
fthe Government must go down IN
to n worse than Eastern dcspotism, the
Southern people, while submitting to
an inevitable fate can safely look to
postcrity for that justice which they
are denied now. Lofty patriotism and
sublime heroism will surely have thcil
reward.

How Reconstruction Has Worked

in debt, no effort is made to develop its
resources ,and taxation is largely increased.
The colonies no longer possess anything
like self-goyernment. The parish Of st;
AIMS, which in 1910 contained thirty
large estates, now has thirteen, and of
these several are on the point Of abandon
ment. OF ffty:three coffee properties,
there are only four remaining. There is
no market for horses; mules and cattle
The principal crop, pimento, promises to
perish, ungathered.
Jamaica was formerly slave holding.
After the emancipation of her slaves, she
had to be ssreconstructea" " on the Radical
plan by giving the negroes the right o.
suffrage. Disorder, anarchy and outragcs
on person and property ensued beyond the
power of the local authorities to preven1
or repress. Finally, Jamaica had to be
''reconstructedp again by the Hcme Gov
ernment, which took away the right O.
suffrage from the negroes and reduced
the island somewhat to condition resem

we are to Have a Negro Vice-Pres-
fdent.--Whither are We eDriftingl

1t is conceded that fanuticishs (now
called rddicdlisns) was the cause of our
late civil war. But for the aggressive
policy Of the Abolitionists North, there
Weuld have been no Secessionists South,
nor any attempt at rebellion. The con-
fict ended and slavery was abolished, are
the agitators satisfied? Not by any
means. Sumner declared in the Senate,
the other day, that he expected to see
colored Senators occupy seats inatheir
body Col. Moss, an itinerant Radical,
who harrangaed our people in the Court
House last fall, writes as follows, to the
Ant. Slavery Standard:
There are several negroes fitted for
the position of Vice President, and that
race claim that the second Office in the
gift Of the nation shall be filed by me-
gro. That, they say, must be accorded
to the black race by the Republican par
ty, as q proof Of the honesty of its pro-
fession Of attachment to the principles Of
equal rights to all men regardless Of race
Hor color. IF that demand is refused they
viii consider the Republican party dis
honest in its professions, and vote against
it in the Presidential election.
ssIn that view, the negro is right; and
st is to be hoped he viii put the party to
that test. John N. Langston, Of Ohio, is
we'll qualified to fill the position of Vice
| President, and the negro need never be

TO THE VICTIMS OF RADICAL
;s ISM.

Work. Work. Work.
With pick and shovel and axel
To pay New England's protection,
Your own and the bondhelder's taxi
Work. Work. Work.
There are milliens Of negroes to feed,
And the cost is hitched on with the bond
{ holders claim, ss 81
And the sum of New highlands greed.
Tugl Toll Sweat
Still harder each day than before,
1t will go to keep niggers and bondholderl
up, ee2lg sssgga 81 !
And the wolf away from your door.
Work. Work. Work.
From dawn to the dusk of day,
For your hopes are crushed with weight o.
debt se
That the toll of your life wont pay.
You gave your SON to the war!
The rich man loaned his goldi
And the rich mans son is happy to-day,
And yours is under the mould
You do not think, poor man.
You can scarce believe when you're told
That the sum which the rich man loaned tc
the war
Was the price for which you were sold.
~.
a Your son was as good as hisI
And as dear, perhaps, to you'll
But yours died for his, and your daughter
For his must toll and sewl
The bondholdef rides in his carriage
He is one of the privileged few,
Who handles with pride his Government
bonds,
But the drudgery is left for you'll
Nay, do not pause to think,
Or sigh for your children or wife,
For your, moments are mortgagsd to hopeless
tolls,
The rest of your weary lifei
