The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1867-10-29


The New York Tribune OF Saturday has
= aorhlc-lcadcd editorial headed "Hail.
VIRGINIA = in which il exults over the fact
,lat mousrcl crew Of fools, fanatics, and
,,.,, white men has succeeded in outvo-
ting the real people of the old Common
wealth, "Thc Mother of States" quoth
GREELEY, "rccordS her vote in favor of
.loval reconstruction on the basis pre-
"Scribcd ~ Congress-" "Thc press" he
adds, twas against Us, bitterly, furious!y,
veoomorslv." So it was. SO were all tn"
respectable Virginians. So, also, was every
element Of the body polite that gives
character to government and makes law
tolcrablc and respected. "All the de-
ccncy ;" literally voted against radicailsn'
II GREELEY can find any consolation IN
these facts. he is welcome to it.
But while apparently e&olting over the
prospect that Virginia is bound by the re-
construction acts in the merctrlcious en-
braces Of Radicalism, the Tribune lets iaEl
some remarks which show that it IS fear
mi Of the consequences Of this boastcd
triumph. at viii DC found it declares,
without, however, knowing anything in re-
gard to tie men Of whom. it is speaking,
.,hat the Convention Just elected is not
" only Radical, but, in the truest sense,
Conservative also. We did hope to see
Governor PEIRP0IST'S name head the
Republican ticket in Richmond, for We
believe It would have insured the choice
Of that ticket By a large majority, and
" would have been q pledge to the people
& generally that Liberty for All would be
asserted and secured without giving just
:. cause OF alarm 10 any. Mr.. HUNNlcUTT
- has probably said some Of the harsh
"things about rebels that are attributed
"to him but we are confident that, should
- he seek to inaugurate policy of coniis-
/" cation, or anything like it, he would find
"Limsolf in very small minority. The
" Convention will strongly assert the Equal
" Rights Of Men; but it will be moderate
"and cautious in So using the triumph OF
genuine democracy as not to cndangcr
" It's perpctuity."
GREELEY fears that bis savage allies will
dance the war-daucc ana burn a1d scalp
their victims, TO the dctyiment Of the Radi-
cal party in the North. When the ScpoyS
in India-wrongcd and maltrcated though
they had bccn--rose in arms against tho
white men Of Great Britain, the sympa
thieS OF even New England Yankees were
were aroused in behalf Of the men Of 1heil
own race. SO ii will be in this country
SO il must be. Ii is simply impossible thai
The majority Of the northern people car
rejoice to see their own flesh ana BLOOD
suhiugated by the African race. We by
no means despair Of the Commonwealth
Our faith is mistaken that We shall come
out Of these fiery trials unframed and un-
furnished. Tic disgrace Of negro law
makers is not ours. The adventures were
not elected by us. The IrNSIcUTrs and
the UNDERwoo6s are merely pariahs ele-
waited to place because they belong to "no
class" They are none of ours. But fol-
the apyliances Of the Federal Government
which were brought to bear against US the
Whites would have elected two-thirds OF
the delegates. With the Frecdmen's
Bureau aud most Of the registering officers
enlisted against Us, the battle was an I'M
quail one. GREELEY. we believe, will not
soon have occasion to rej3ice again over
the results Of elections in Virginia.
