consider the remarks Of SatFald, Fielder,
Applegate, and the other sssassius Of our
liberty as the very inspiration ofinsanity
or desperation. They hOOtei at the idea
OF trouble! A stranger ignorant Of the
facts, would have supposed from their
remarks the golden age Of peaces and
prosperity was held within the ballot box
of the negro. The Radical white and
negroes, sis would seem, are leaving
nothing undOne 10 stir their party up to
violence. Like the orators at the RSdi-
cal meeting at the Capitol the negroes
of Louisiana Convention leave no doubt
that thew not only do not wish to avoid 8
war of races, but actually desire such a
For example, in the L0uisi-
and Convention, on Saturday, a negro
delegate named Cromwell declared
Owe will rule until the last one Of US goes
down forever that the negroes were
going to have their rights, If it was by
a revolution and blood in spite Of Andy
johnson or any other man" He de-
clsred thathe was ready for revolution.
This Is the sentiment Cfthe Radical ne
groes. and these Radical white now few
in number) who hope to officer their
deluded followers either in peace or war.
The sentiment of the intelligent and
colOred men, however, is
setting down 20 a calm sensi-
Die view ofthe dangers threstened by the
demagOgues who have thus
far ruled their race. They see that
mobs, muskets, disfranchisement, and
the other applisn nees of desperate faction
mean trouble to their race. Hence We
are not surprised to see that another
eolored member Of the Louisiana Con-
named Pinchb8ck, deprecated
the remarks of Cromwell, and declared
that the ealOred people Of this country
could get no rights that ths whites did
not see fit to give them that the talk
OF q war of races was ali hUmbug. He
alluded TO the disparity OF numbers
between the two races, and declared
that the shareholders Of the So nth had
been in the past and were still the friends
Jf the negroes.
We are confident that many. of the
black race iu Montgomery, those who
1Wn and who hope to own property,
oOk at this question in the light OF /
prudence and reason. Let them speak I
,ut and advise their race as to their [
)est interests They need no longer be /.
n fear of mObs from the ambitious white /
iemagogues Of their own race. The I
,eople OF Alabama are at last aroused to .
sene Of the danger which threatens the .
ecurity Of person and property, and they /
will not permit any more mObs to dom /
nate over themselves or threaten those .
4 the black race who look to the white l
nan of the South as his friend and pro, .
ector Let the wise, the prudent, the'
,eaeeful Of the,cOlored race denounce the /
uiuOUs legislation Of such men as SEsyne |
nd PeytOn Finley, and ths insane
avings of such desperadnes as Apple
ate, Saffold and Fielder!
