disposition of some to dodge men and

constitutional men of the South, who,
to day, lie Frustrated from the treachery
of the party in power. There is mem
DRY for the Democrats of the North not
differing from that which must live in the
minds of the people in the South. 1t is
a memory of outrage, Of murder, of rob-
berry, of persecution for opinions sake,
of beastly debauchery on the strength
and wealth Of an unarmed people, OF
vice, of proAigacY. O. hazard, of sacri.
lege, of dishonest professions, of reck-
less bribery, of hellish kuavery, of
peculations, of insults, of lousy prisons
and dungeons, Of base suspicious and
inhuman treatment, of crying wrongs, of
blasphemous pretensions, of disregard
of laws, presidents and customs, Of
damnable hypocrisy, and the thousand
present evidences of regime of public
prostitution in the armed mobs which
OVERRIDE all barriers of right, which can
never be effaced, till justice, on the
quick wings of crushing retribution,
shall make all things equal.

HAaMONY BETWEEN rHE TWO RACES.

HARMONY BETWEEN THE TWO RACES
The Atlanta Iafeiiigencer says there
are men il the South who, instead OF
directing lheir labors in the political field
to promote harmony between the white
and the black man, have entered It to
promote discomfort and feud, merely to
crafty a thirst for office and otherwise
TO advance their own selfish interests
These men, lew in number when com
pared with the great body Of the people,
nevertheless influence others, who, with
no such objeeIs in view, their apprehen'
sions excited in regard to the future
governing them, lend themselves to the
designing few, and thus become inslru'
menis in promoting divisions, and dis
content, and strife, between the two
races, and but for which harmony be-
tween them would certainly prevail
Most earnestly do we enter our solemn
protest against such course of action
and most solemnly do we warn the peo'
pie, white and black, against the evil.
results that must inevitably flow from it.
There should be ne antagonism between
the two races. 1t is not demanded by
the provisions of even those recent Con
gressional enactmenis under which the
Southern States are to be reconstructed
into the "Union," nor will it promote
in any particular, the interests of the one
race over the other. On the contrary,
such a contest will prove most detri'
mental to every interest, social and po-
litical, of each, and long retard the
general prosperity of the South.

THE TRUE POLICY,

The Charleston Ncios says that the
system of Southern planters devoting all
their energies and powers to growing
cotton twas net wise one even under
our former system OF slave labor. 1t is
now rninous. We should raise abundant
crops of all the neeessaries of life, such
as are adapted to our soil and climate,
and then use our surplus only Of capital
and labor for the production of cotton
We cannot see how there can be solid,
substantial prosperity for an agricultu'
raj country, SO largely dependent for its
bread and its meat on the uncertainty OF
a distant market"

named Mitchell, took him to the woods

to hang them. The cause Of this violence
was the robbing of a store in the northern

that a further postponement will be
made The advisability of admitting
