THE Radical organs feign surprise
that those who opposed negro suff-
rage should now endeavor to secure
even a portion Of that vote for the
Conservative ticket. They are less
surprised, however, than alarmed al
the prospect of loosing class Of
voters manufactured expressly fol
Radical use, and not manufactured
until it seemed the only chance fol
prolonging Radical misrule. The
Conservatives do not deny that they
were opposed to negro suffrage, but
the Radicals will not cofess that they
too. opposed it until a base, selfish
motive--not love for the negro-sug
gested it as a stroke of policy.
But this feigned surprise is al
sheer nonsense. They may as wei
affect surprise that any citizen O
Nashville should presume to trave
upon Railroad because he happened
to oppose an appropriation for build
ing it. But the road is built, and tn,
citizen has an unquestioned right t.
use it. The negro is vested with tn,
right of suffrage and, upon the SANE
principle, we claim the right to tel
him that the interests of the Soutl
are his interests, and that he ought t,
uphold them by his vote. We CLAIM
the right to tell him, too, that tn
interests of the Radicals are inimica
to those of the South and of boil
races; to the interests of liberty ant
humanity; of religion and morality
and it is little short of crime il
any one to vote for such party.

WORDS OF WARNING.
A COlOred Mans opinion OF the Rad

To the Colored Race throughout Tennessee !
feel the great danger that Will inevita.
bly, befail the colored race of the South by
pursuing extreme, or what are commonly
termed Radical" measures. The white
Radicals wish to make cats paw of us by
throwing us "to the 'front.'" in a political
point of view, as they did in the rebellion,
because we are ignorant and do not under
stand their schemes Why do they court
the favor of freedmen 1t is because they
are " loyal to them. / contend that your
best interest is to be loyal to yourselves, for
your own advancement, by not adopting
their wild policy.
The freedman can live happily and pros
perously in the Southern States, only by
standing on Conservative platform. True,
these Radicals have made us voters, to suit
their own selfish ends, but have they not
prohibited us, at the same time, from exer-
cising the right of sitting on the jury box,
and the right of holding Office? They say
that we shall not vote for those of our own
color, and that it is "A high crime for us to
vote for whom we please. Are we not ca.
pable of thinking and acting for ourselves ?
If not, we are, in my opinion, no better than

THE CANDIDATE.

IL we did not have faith in the
determination Of the Conservatives of
this State TO pull together as one man,
in the approaching political struggle,
we should be alarmed for their una
nimity by the number of Dames pre-
scented in connection with the candi-
dacy for Governor. We stand pledg-
cd to the advocacy of no man before
the Convention, and only ask that
body to select the one best qualified
to be Governor, and most able to
make his way to that high position.
We want an able and fearless speaker
one who can fan out Brownlow
and any of his aids on the stump,
and will not tremble at the sight of
bayonet in the hand Of hired ruff
fan. or withhold harsh truths from
feelings Of mawkish delicacy. We
want a candidate who can address
himself to the highest intelligence,
and impress upon the minds of the
simple and unlettered, the elementary
principles of political justice. One
who can, and will, strip Radical vii
lainy of its DISCUSSES, and set mark
upon Radical leaders by which they
may be known to the simplest and
most unsuspecting of those whom
they seek to victimize.
No ordinary man can fill this bill,
but one who can, may be found
somewhere in the State, and we shall
be sadly disappointed if the Conven-
ton overlooks him. We had better
have no candidate than one who does
not meet the requirements of the
emergency. In ordinary times the
standard of qualifications may be safe.

WHEN the cOlOred people are re-
minded that they were emancipated
by the Radicals, they ought to remem-
Der that it was done because they
wanted the negroes to catch the rebel
bullets that were killing so many
yankees. They owe their freedom
not to love or justice, but to selfish
ness and cowardice, and ought tc
despise, rather than honor, their lib,

THE ratification of the treaty for
the purchase of the Russian posses
sions on the Pacific, is one more step
towards the disruption of the United
States. Extended territory swells
government patronage, and this, in
turn, swells the tide of corruption
which has already undermined the
fabric of constitutional government,
beyond the hope of repair.

DELEGATES.

While the resolutions were being read,
the Radical negroes who had been out in
ing up ike convention in a row. 1t was
very evident that they were intent on mis-
chief, and were instigated by white men,
who had not the courage TO act out the
promptings of their own malicious hearts.
During this excitement, Judge Lawrence,
formerly of the Freedmen's Bureau, took
the stand, and told them that he hoped they
would other remain quietly or leave the
house that he was their friend and not a
Conservative, and that he hoped for the hon
or of freedom aud free speech, that they
would not disturb the deliberations Of the
convention.

THIS National Iltelligencer calls upon
the people OF the South to reject recon
struction under the Congressional act.
and to wait for further Democratic VIC
tories at the North. such appeals NAV
deceive the few simpIetons who inn
agine that by some mysterious process
the President may yet come of vIctori-
Gus, but the thoughtful. earnest men of
the South will spurn the counsel and
despise its authors. Gov. Orr's speech
Mt Charleston, on Thursday evening,
eXempliiies this fact. He knows that
the Connecticut election can have no
elect upon the power of the present
Congress, which has two years before it
for carrying out its policy. Gov. Orr's
advice is to accept the law as final and
irrevocable, and to hurry forward re-
construction in conformity with its
provisions.
There is also some talk at Washing
ton and other points of an attempt to
stop reconstruction under the Congress
sioual bill until n decision can be had
from the Supreme Court as to its con-
stitutiOnality. After the advice of Gem
erals Lee, Longstreet, Johnston, Beau
regard, and other ex-rebels, 1t Is not
likely that such talk will amount
to much. We notice, for in
stance, that the jackson, Miss,
Clarion, edited by Mr.. Barksdale, one
of the most influential papers in that
State, pronounces all such projects to
be decisions and snares. In his jour
nal of the 2slh ult., he publishes an
elaborate argument. to show that the
ends which alone could justify an APP
peal to the judiciary are constitution
ally and in fact beyond its power. The
question at issue, he remarks, sis n
political, not a judicial question:" and
the Constitution has given the decision
OF 1t TO political, not to a judicial
body" A contest which cannot pos
sioly achieve single practical aiyan-
IaGe Tor the South, is assuredly not
prompted either by the sagacIty Of
statesmen or the disinteresteSiness Of
true friends. Lawyers and poIiticians
are at the bottom of it, and It is more
likely 10 hurt the South itself than To
impede the course OF Congress.
