NEGRO supREmAoY.n

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican,
the leading New England paper, in its
of September l4th, speaks under
the above heading in a manner that
shows decided hostility to the almost
exclusive enfranchising Of the freedmen
by Congress. Its remarks on this SUBJ
ject must command the attention Of in
telligent Union men. 1t says''that some
of the Northern papers attempt to allay
the fears Of the Southern whites on the
subject of negro supremacy by telling
them that it is impossible as a perma-
nent thing; that the white population
of those States is largely in the major
ity, and after reconstruction power will
gradually return to their hands. n Y
The prospect is that things will be much
,corse before they begin to mend; that
the new State governments will be in
the hands Of men who will disfranchise
nearly all the whites, and inaugurate
schemes Of taxation that will practical
ly be nearly as bad as couiscation itself.
The white Republicans of North Caro-
lima expected to control their recent
State Convention, and did elect its Off
GERS; but the negro majority voted down
resolutions reported by the committe
against coniscation, and in favor Of
larger amnesty to the whites, and were
poorly content with a compromise agree
ing to such con6scation and other meas
ures of reconstruction as Congress shall
decree. The speech most applauded
was made by q young mulatto named
Galloway, who advocated a school tax
heavy enough to compel the sale OF the
land by the present owners. The most
popularleader amongthe South Carolina
negroes now is q negro named Williams,
who declares himself to be the spiritual
essence of Thad. Stevens and Fred
Douglass, and tells the colored men that
they whipped the rebs, that they are the
most powerful nation on the globe, and
they must vote for no one who is not of
their own color; that Lincoln promised
them forty acres OF land, a hundred dol
lars and six months rations apiece, and
they must have it, If they hare TO rhip
the 6lue-Jelied Yankees to getit. Another
ambitious negro named Charles Brown
writes to the New Orleans Times
We intend to show to this city, state
and the world that we are capable Of
governing, not only ourselves, but white
men. Ny former master land he was q
good man told me that white men would
govern, take q r of and protect the
niggers, because God gave them the
| right and made it their duty so to do.
| We are willing to do the same by you.
| We shall have no use for Goldman or
| NAPLES, or any Of their class, after IL
next state election. 1t is not an easy
matter to disfranchise US after we once
have the elective franchise. Hancock
will be powerless for evil if we only
keep up our secret political organiza-
ton. We have commenced organizing
our fire department, and n year will
end the Sl20, 900 per year now paid to
| white iremen transferred to worthy re-
constructed citizens Of African descent.
In a few years it will not be a question
| whether there will be schools for colored
children, but it will be whether white
| children will be admitted to our institu-
tons of learning. The bottom rail is on
top, and Yankees, as yell az all the MINOR
| ity, must take a back seat.
"The Savannah Republican, as sound
a Republican paper as there is in the
country, is threatened by the freedmen
because il is against c~oufscation and
Acknowledgement. The facts Of the situa-
ton n The South are TOO plain and manifest
| 10 admit of any misunderstanding .
