unacceptable laboFs, a. we'll a. the bad effects
Of the uuskilful and injurious treatment Of
the Southerners BY some Of the military

Wilson and Mr.. Kelley In their mission to ne

considered in regard to the freedmen, or the.
whites, has had an exceedingly bad effect. 1t

Me-. Wilson has hold them that ooaascatioa
and continued exclusion from political privi-

radicals. Now, the Southern whites know very
well that il 1t shonld suit the purpose Of the

Of hardship and cruelty in New York, ia
Boston and everywhere, ~ there may he In the
South, in spite Of the general goodfseliug and
good disposition Of the ms~ OF the people.
The Southerners, knowing. then, how easy IL Is
TO seize upon aud use such cases for political
purposes, naturally feed alarmed and insecure
under the threats held over them. M
But the evil does not rest here; for the me-
grocs, ignorant - they are, know what conAs-
cation means. They expect the lands will be
given to them, according TO the radical sgrarian
programme Of Wendell Phillips. They see
they arc the favored race, and that the whites
are treated harshly and with disttust. They
begin to think they have right 10 the lands Of
the South, and that their Northern radical
friends win give the lands 10 them. The fear
fal consequence OF all this must be that one
race will be arrayed against the other; the
farmers and planters will be discouraged to
cultivate or improve their property; the ne
groes will not work for their employers, and
magnificent and productive country will be-
come, like San Domingo and jamaica, un--
cultivated and desolate. We shall lose the
valuable productions Of the South; our bur-
dcns will be greatly increased by the
prolonged political and social disorganization
Of NE South, and through its inability to bear
its portion Of taxation. The Southerners will
be unable 10 pay their debts 10 the North, no
one will invest money in that section, CON-
merce win decline and bankruptcy follow.
In fact, we might expect 70 see inangurated

that which occurred in San Domingo The
threatened riot in Richmond on Thursday last
