Listen to the Richmond Wing

I'VE have no fear now that in the event OF
the Convention being voted down Congress Will
venture upon the measures it would almost GER
talnly have put in force against us but tor the
warning it has received from the people of the
North. And as few, if any, Conservatives
would ever have advocated the Convention but
tor the fear OF what would result from failure
to call 1t, We presume few, if any, will now vote
TOR 1t. At least we are satisfied that nearly If
not quite all of those who could be reached and
influenced by us will vote against it, and there
fore 1t would be wasting words for us to say
! more on the subject. Richmond Wing.
1T must be plain to all men who have eyes
to see or ears to hear that extreme Radicalism
is doomed to disgrace and destruction. All
moderate men who would escape the doom OF
Devergoll should at once quit the sinking ship
| and vote the Conservative ticket. = Hhag.
Radicalism has broken down at the North
Sumner, Butler, Wade, Stevens and the rest
are dead cocks in the pit. The Freedmen s
Bureau will soon be abolished by limitation OF
| law.-Rschmond Wing.
is it not true, as we have said, that the
leadership of the ultraists is ended, that the
reign of the Goth and the Vandal is Ger p
| the national nostril. Those who tie on to 1t,
| fasten themselves to rotten carcass. - Wing.
Our advice is that every aobite man shall make
1t has especial business to gam ouer at least one
colored vote, not by bribery and corruption, or
| any other undue means, but By honest and auec-
| ceptiondble meaas-by Snoring h0,U at as to the
interest of the colored people to cote the Conser
yatiue ticket and By opening their eyes to the
dangers into aotich the mean aoisite adUenturers
,could lead them.
Lose no time, but set about this business at
once Wing.
Free to Vote.
| The conservative colored people who desire
to vote the Conservative ticket need not fear to
do so. The ''loyal leagues" cannot trouble
them for so doing: What is the good OF
freedom, if they are not free to vote as they
want to vote?- Whag
CoLoRED MEN: Remember that those who
own all the property can get along without your
assistance but that you cannot get along with
out theirs Wing.
CoLoRED MEN: Don't let the cunning white
monkeys make cats paws Of you Wing.
| To MODERATE REPUBLICANS cannot
| good, honest, moderate Republicans do in the
| South, in Virginia. in Richmond what their
! friends and sympathisers have just done in some
of the Northern States and what they will prob
ably 90 In dl-drTdy themselves against tlle ~
ranny and the dangerous excuses Of the ex
IRENE Radicals? They can do so here with a
better grace than there, and without laying
themselves open to the charge of inconsistency
Here they will not have to array themselves un
der the Democratic flag. There is no such party
and no such flag. There is indeed no party or
ganization in the South, certainly not in Vir
ginia, save that which calls itself the Radica
party, and which is led by handful of near
white adventures who want Office, and as they
cannot get it from their own race, are striving
to get it from the black race. This Southern
Radical party is infinitely meaner than the same
party at the North. There it's leaders are Al
least men of talent and social influence ant
personal responsibility. Here, on the con
trary, they are the very scum of society.
There, the hateful and dangerous element o
race antagonism is absent; here it is the pre-
vailing, the dominant influence. A few mean
selfish, inscriptions, ignorant white men, hav
ing separated themselves from their race ant
placed themselves at the head of the blacks
brandish their weapons and urge them on
crusade against the white race, just as we hav
lately seen few white men of the same elias
leading the savage Indians against the white
and encouraging them in their brutal exces
ses.-Rich. Wing.
