and three n~egroloids are secured beyond
a peradventure. The registered voters
in each Province are to be the State. In
Louisiana, South Carolina and Florida,
the vote is two black to one white: in
Alabama and Mississippi, the negroes
have 8 very large majority in Georgia,
1000; Virginia, North Carolina and
Tennessee are negrOloid or mulatto. The
white Radicals or AlbinOs are nowhere,
in either, without the z vote. They
are but as one to ten. Eighty thousand
whites are DISTINGUISHED in Tennessee.
How do you propose 10 help it? We
propose to advise the negroes to claim
the Offices, and especially send their rep
resentative men to Congress. Rather
Turk than Papist.' LUTHER is good u
thority. We prefer the negro to the
Radical, ever for civil offices in Mem
phis, and some judicial offices in the ne
groIoid county called Shelby. II any Of
the colored brethren and Loyal Leaguers
choose to run for the offices of Mayor and
Aldermen, as we hope they viii, we do
not urge or advise Conservatives to vote
for Radicals against them.
A Jacobin paper, published at Salem,
in Massachusetts, says:
Although it has taken q great deal Of
time and cost us a vast amount OF money,
We have at last got the stOlid Dutch OF
Pennsylvania and the verdant suck
/ ersn and Buckeyes" Of the western
! states educated up to the higher law
standard. When a few years sg0 they
gpat upon us-the despised abolition
! ists-we determined that the negro las
/ thew called the colored mani should be
made their equals OF we would crush the
/ upion. Colored suffrage ls now 8 fixed
fact. The foot Of the negro is now on
the neck Of our ancient revilers, and
those wEO are not in Our tolls mus stand
from under.
The education of California seems
to have been sadly neglected. A year
ago, she was overwhelmingly radical.
4 rebel unreconstructed, would have
been quite as comfortable in Maine or
Massachusetts, as there. Now, she
has just elected a Democratic Gov
ernor by eight or ten thousand
majority, and q democratic legislature
which secures the election of two Demo
cratic Senators TO Congress. The Dutch
Of Pennsylvania are quite likely,
pretty certain, we think, to realcitrate.
We are not sanguine, but We think it is
becoming quite clear that the Keystone
State will resume her place in the Dem
ocratic line. There are indications, also,
in Ohio, that give US hope that that
great State will follow in the wake Of
Pennsylvania. Negro-suffrage' Is prov
ing too strong 8 dose for Western stOm-
achs. In that great region there is a
little pride Of race yet left and if a New
England Radical thinks himself no better
than a negro, there are plenty Of West
ern Republieans,-Saxons and TeutOns
too, who do not think the negro as good
as themselves. The old Wings, who
were forced into Republicanism by the
repeal Of the Missouri compromise, haze
not lost or forgotten al their old princi-
piles, and viii not swallow negro suffrage.
For only two years ago, one would have
said that only a crazy fanatic or thrice
sodden ass could be sincerely in favor Of
investing such a race with the power to
destroy the Republic.
The Metropolitan Record says:
Now, as We have already intimsted,
this is Just where we have the radicals.
When they made vOting-machines of
POmpey and SSmbo, they never in their
hOrt-sightedness thought that he would
be Al aspiraut for official hOnOrs. or all
the absurdities OF which they have been
guilty, this is the most absurd. Had
they not been stupidity blind, they might
f0Teseen that negroes would take
part in the state conventions which are
to d" reconstruct" the south; that they
would present themselves as delegates;
that they would have their say, what
ever it might be, upon the framing Of
the constitutions; that they would, afteT
their adoption, and on the election of
new officials for state and municipal
insist on running SIS candidates;
and still further, that having secured a
practical recognition Of their right to
office, they would then not only be rep
resented IN the radical presidential cor
UeuH0H, but urged Do By Wendell Phillips
and other friends, WOULD CLAIM THE
SECOND PLACE ON THE TICKET.
Just here, right on this point, the rad
zeal party is going to run shore. The
great majority of the white people Of the
north will never submit to this degrade
ton. They never Intended that radical
ism should carry the country to this
extreme, and they Will put their veto
upon il in the coming fall elections. The
only chance they have yet had to pro-
nounce their verdict on the question Of
negro equality in politics was at the
Connecticut election, when the radicals
met with q most decisive defeat. Upon
lhat issue the state was tTiumphsutly
and, with a very few exceptions,
tire north and west will pronounce
the conversion of the country
into & mongreiized, MeXiCaniZed bur
on Fepubllcanism.
We repeat il, upon this point we have
the radical party precisely where We
