NEGRO RISINCS.

NEGRO RISINGS.
A striking peculiarly Of Slavery, was the
deep-seated feeling of distrust that underlay
the structure of Southern society
There never was a day, whenithe masses
here could notibe run stark mad by the cry
Of. Abolition Insurrection |! Negroes ris-
ingl!! The more intense the Southerner,
in his sectional procliyities, the bigger the
fool on this subject.
We have now lived, to see and learn what
little ground there was for this cruel suspi-
cion of the colored people We have seen
them pass through terrible civil war,
without even the slightest attempt at outrage
or violence We,have beheld them sudden
ly emancipated by force, our enemies IN their
midst, and abolition emissaries thick amongst
them. Still no massacres. We see them
invested with full citizenship, backed up by
all the appliances of the Freedmen's Blu
reau. Still no attempt at Instruction. We
sec them ehfranchished by Radical Con-
gress, and the whites disfranchised But no
risings. And now we have Just witnessed
them register by the hundred thousand-in
many instances far outnumbering the whites.
But, alas for Copperhead politicians--still
no violence. They have met together in
thousands, for political and other purposes,
in public and in secret. But oh! for the
alarmists. not single well established charge
can be laid to this people--as peaceful, re-
spectful, law-abiding citizens. Meantime,
they have borne, with marvellous patience,
the sneers, and the scorn of the white man,
not to say his wrongs, his violence and
outrages. ,rs.4s. = il.ca +,

We claim to know the African as man.

ophy ofthe human heart, reason. Christiani-
ty, society. and government We tell the
people, despite all croakers and alarmists to
the contrary, there will be no more negro ri

corner logicians and cross road orat IS may
cry aloud. They may vent their spleen on
this humble race. They may taunt and

and provoke an occasional individual retort,
or act of retaliation. But the great heart Of
this people-these lowly followers of the
gLanlb--is right. They long for harmony
with theiwhite race. They see in this policy,
not only the hope of peace, prosperity and
