Remarkable Predictions.
] The following oxtrnct, which writer for
the Cincinnati Enquirer" quotes from page
30 of Mr. Calhoun's works, and which Was
written in 1910, reals like history rather than
prediction
elf (emancpation) should ever be effected
it will be through she agency ct the Federal
| Government controlled by the dominant party
of the United States Of the Confcdcracy against

1t can oniy be effected by ,he prostration of
| the white race and that would necessarily
engcndcr the bittercSt feelings of hostility be
tween shem and the North But the reverse
would be the case between the blacks of the
South and the people Of the North. Owing
their emancipation to them, they would re
gard them az friends, guardians, and patrons.
and centre accordingly all their sympathics in

fail to appreciate, and ts favor them instead Of

lower, they would not stop at euancipaton
| Another step would be taken to raise them

voting aud holding public offices under the
Federal Government. We see the first step
towards it in the bill already alluded toto
vest the free blacks and slaves with the right
to vote on the question of emancipation in the
District [of Columbia. Butwhen once raised
to an equality they would become the fast DO
lItIca associates OF the North, acting and vo
ting with them on all questions; and by this
political union between them holeiing the
white race at the South in complete subjcction

might unite with them would become the
principal recipients of the Federal offices and
patronage, aud would. in consequence, be
raised above the whites of the South in the
political and social scale, We would, in a

t'on take place (Which it certainly will if uot

our country to our former slaves, to become
the permanent abode of disorder, anarchy,
poverty, misery, and wretehedness"
