THE PEOPLE OF THE NORTH SICK OF THEIR

ing the rule of the military commanders of the
South, has the following most remarkable ad-
mission:
IF the same wisdom anu prudence continue
to be manifested by CTR military administrators,
it is not improbable that another and more tick
fish comparison will be drawn. People will be-
gin to ask themselves whether here, at the
North, it would not be better for us to live I'M
der the rule of such men than to submit to the

Register /! Register /!

The Richmond Times, in an article on the
supreme duty of the hour, says:
ssWe sincerely trust that the people of Vir-
ginia will take care that not a vote be lost by
their failure to register. We do not advise
them to neglect their agricultural pursuits, to
meet at the cross-road ground, and upon the
court green's to listen to gaseous orators, but
we do implore them to register in their magls-
terial districts without delay. The white race
cannot lose the ascendancy which it has enjoy
ed in Virginia since the settlement at James
town, unless our people are criminally indife-
rent or apathetic The stake which they have
in the approaching elections is not one of those
empty political triumphs which, before the war,
used to excite such intense interest among all
classes. Their political rights, and the safety
of life, liberty and property are all involved IN
the issues WHICH have been thrust upon us by
the military act. Every white man who fails
to register will deserve to be execrated as an
enemy of his race, and as an unnatural husband
and father, whose name should be held in re-
proach by his descendants as one who failed to
defend his hirthright when it was in jeopardy.
The rich and the poor, the great and the hum
BILE, are alike interested in the registration OF
every white voter in the State.
1.-The triumph of party like that, which has
made terrestrial Inferno Of Tennessee, would
crush the mechanic by completely paralyslng
the energy of the capitalist, and drive the veal
thy from the State by the wolfsh agrarianlsm
which it would inaugurate. We do not ask ev-
cry Virginan to aid us with all the force of tai
ents, eeesgg pgblie spirit anla means with

complete and thorough registration has reveal
ed the strength Of the aotite men IN this State to
teach the blacks, By our H5eraAty toaoards them,
that their best friends are their former masters.
When We have demonstrated to the deluded
negro followers of the demoralized white men
who have poisoned their minds against us, that
we are master Of the situation, we can afford to
make the lesson of our magnanimity and jus
tice impressive.
IF the white men of this State, who have
not been disfranchised, will take care to register
and vote, they will not only secure, beyond the
possibility of danger, their political rights and
property, but they will be in condition to aid in
the work of speedy reconstruction upon terms
not as Instantaneous as they would be made
by the triumph of Radicalism

A COOP PoINT-The Mobile Register re-
minds the darkies that if they really hope aGGad
expect anything from confscation it is clearly
their policy to vote down the Radicals in the
South, because if they are voted up there is no
confscation and no division of property among
them. The confscation is to punish the South
for not going Radical. IF it goes Radical then
there is no punishment. Darkies who want "a
divide will have to go in tooth and nail against
the RAIDS. -DisDdtch
