Well Said.

Speaking of the exodus of black
laborers from Virginia and other
States, the Richmond Times very
truthfully says:
eve suppose it will be admitted
that the condition Of the laborers in
all Counties and communities depends
upon the prosperity OF their en-
ployers. If the capitalists suffer. the
labor employed by their capital suft RS
in still greater degree, because labo-
has no resources to fall back upon.
The negroes Of the South canuot
prosper until the whites prosper, and
the whites cannot prosper as long as
they are threatened with ruin and
political disfranchisement. When
success shall once more attend our
efforts to retrieve our ruined for
tunes; when wealth and plenty shall
once more smile upon our land, the
the negroes will be the first to bask
i'll the sunshine Of our prosperity.
AS long Us we are poor; as long as
Congress by its action drives capital
from our borders, and forbids its en-
trance; Us long as we are ostraciscd
from all participation in the Govern
ment; as long as our status is unset
tied, there will be Il depression in
fortune, morals and education in the
South, and this condition will tell
more terribly upon the blacks than
the whites, because the farmers have
not yet reached that position that will
enable them to battle with adversely
! and successfully struggle with compc-
titors in the sharp contest for food,
raiment aHd shelter.
eff our political troubles and dis
turbances were composed in the dawn
OF that prosperity which would begin
to arise amc2s the capitalists, the
land-holders of the South, tic negro
would find increase in wages, and,
consequently, an amelioration in
every physical, social, moral and re-
ligious point Of view Poverty pre-
vents education, causes crime, and
produces actual physical suffering.
We assert it as an axiom, which ad-
mlts of no argument, that the negro
can only thrive through the thrift
and happiness of the Southern
whites; and the radicals have fatally
lost sight of the fact that every mca-
sure Of hate and vengeance which
they level at us, hits Cu1lec twice as
hard as it does the rebels Nor will
they help his condition by making
him 4 voter, for the power to vote
does not carry with it the faculty or
means Of making q livelihood; and if
an Interest IN politics shall cause
Cnlfee to attend public meetings. go
to barbecues, amt 1ish-fries. and dis
cnss national questions at all country
stores and cross-road groceries, then
the boon of suffrage Will not prove
profitable in Il bread and d-meat point
Of view.
eff the radicals really want to help
the negroes, they cannot do SO more
efIectually than by rcfraining to blast
the future of the Southern whites

IF there were neither q newspaper

But Republicanism rests on a radi-
cally different basis, and is sustained
by wholly diverse considerations, It,
lives BY Intelligence; it dies in the
murky, sitting atmosphere of ignor-
ance. Canvass almost any township
IN the land, and distinguish those who
take and those who fail to take a
newspaper, and you will find that two
thirds of those who take vote Repub-
lican, while three fourths of those
who read nothing but chance paper
picked up for few moments in a
bar-room vote the Democratic ticket,
and will not be persuaded to touch
anypther.e "a gg85AHy Matt.
IF every man in the country could
read, and did habitaally read two good
journals. one of each party, we should
have no more doubt of electing Re-
publican President next year than of
the rising of the sun. But every voter
who does not read is peril; and the
multiplicity Of such voters subjects
the results of our elections too much
to the control of accident. Fortune
will not always favor us as she did in
1864 and 1866. We can be sure of
victories only by. deserving them.
And the du'y now imperatively press
ing upon us is to take care that every
voter who can read, and will read, or
who has some one in his family who
can and will read it TO him, is season
ably supplied with good Republican
journal for the whole year 1868.
We are not going to succeed so
easily as many have fondly calculated,
and we rejoice that we are not. If we
let the contest go at hap hazard, and
do not seasonably provide for and de-
serve success. we may be beaten. But
If we begin now, and, by concerted
action, put good Republican news
paper into the hands of every voter
who will read it. we cannot be beaten.
Flooding the country with printed
matter on the eve of an election is
desperate resort-better than nothing,
and that is all No reliance can be
placed on it.; little good ordinarily
comes of it. But begin now, and s. s.
