were willing to vote with the Copperheads
and traitors they would cease to be the OBJ
iects of ridicule and abuse2 In that case
Won would hear no prophecies OF social
equality, no angry protests against black
men and women riding in the city cars, no
loud clamors for "a white mans party" 1t
ia only when a race heretofore asserted to he
ignorant beyond redemption, show them
selves. Intelligent enough to prefer tneir
friends to their foes, that they are marked
out for -measlreless prescription. The re-
bells since the elections in Virginia, Alabama,
and Louisiana exhibit feroclty to the ne
eroes hard to reconcile with the fact that
they had Just been begging them to support
the rebel candidates to the new convention,
and have lived with them since childhood.
Let me ask you to read overa few specimens
of their ferocity taken at random from the
rebel newspapers by late mails:
from the Richmond Enquirer of Oct. 26.
The negroes have shown us that d" blood
is thicker than water" with them, and we
can ONLY accept the issue and treat them
with defensive severity, differing not indeed
from the spirit, but not in measure, from
the treatment uhich oar English friends used
toacards the tSepoys Of India Dhen tile achite
safety demanded British Secs'ity.
from the Richmond Wing, Oct. 25.]
Tie election returns show with painful
distinctness that the negroes have drawn a
deep-red blood line between themselves and
the whites, and that with them principles
are nothing, color everything.
[From the Lynchburg Repnblicann.l .-.
1t only remains for the white people of
Virginia to look to their interest and labor
to protect it, They should concert meas
ures without delay to fill the State with
white laborers from the North and from Eu-
rope. They must croao6 the negro ont. They
must rid the State of an element that will
ruin its prosperity; an element that, under the
influence of base white demagogues-them-
selves without property-would tax the
property of others to relieve themselves of
obi CATION to educate their children and
care for their paupers.
from the Charlottesville (va) Chronicle.]
By Tuesdays work the negroes have set
their seal to their doom. There is is nc
longer any peace. The question now is,
who shall occupy and rule the territory
between four and thirty two degrees north
latitude-the blacks or the whites.
from the Farmville (Ya.) Journal
There is lesson taught by the result of
this election which every white man can
readily understand 1t defines the line
broadly and distinctly between the races
which the colored people have themselves
drawn. It's not our purpose to utter one
word of censure of the coored people for ia
king the stand they have. They are free;
but so, too, are the whites presumed to be,
and until the fact is proved otherwise, they
should act the part of free men.
From the Lynchburg (Va.) News.l
We are gratitied to learn that $50 negroes,
4 Al.
whom voed the strai ght-out Radical ticket,
were discharged on Tuesday by the owner
of the works. This is precisely the step
which every white employer should take
with the blacks who, by voting with " Hun
nicut and his set" declare themselves open
and above board the enemies of the white
race.
From the same
After the scenes of Tuesday, who is not
ready to cut loose from the faithless negro
and look elsewhere for his LAHORE He has
turned against us-against the hand that
sustains and the home that protects him he
has baselC conspiIed with our enemies for
our destruction, and now let him look out
for himself The Old World is teeming
with industrious, intelligent, skillful labor
ers, who will gladly come where their labor
will be better rewarded and where their
circumstances, III every respect, will he bet
tered.
The Augusta Ga Constitutionazist says:
"Virginia would be better out in the cold
with General Schofeld, than in hell with
Hunnicutt.'
From the Petersburg (Va.) Iudex, Oct. 26.l
Send them adrift unhesitatingly. Let
them learn how unsatisfactory are the husks
upon which the Radicals would have them
feed. They will soon weary Of the diet and
then when they have proved repentance, let
them return and be assisted in their efforts
to become worthy people. But the offence
has been grievious, and the penance should
be severe, and the conversion must be prov
ed by works Until it is established they |
should be Stunned as enemies.
We expect storm of silly vituperation to |
greet this announcement of policy. The |
blacks, not yet cured of their folly, will al
low themselves to be duped again into dis
regard of certain doom, and will VOW
eternal vengeance upon those who, in self
defence thus treat them. The Northern
Radical press will TEEN with denunciation
OF the outrageous attempts of rebels to con-
troll the votes of treemen, and We shall be
threatened with heavier Jokes and multi
piled bayonets. No matter! We haze but
one road to safety, and though that lead
through Danger, 1t must be .tolloaOed. There is

Now please recollect that all this savagery
as not against allowing the negro to vote, but
because he would not vote with the rebels
1t he had done so, he would be the most
grateful, intelligent, and sweet scented of
