clares its belief that the electoral vote
of Alabama will be cast for the Re-.
publican candidate for President in
November, 1868. no matter how rad.
ical he may be himself, or how radical
the platform upon which he stands.
The Republican party of the State
was organized in meeting held at
Huntsville on March 4th. which
arranged for State convention at
Montgomery early in May. Al,
though the colored vote of the State,
probably now an absolute majority
of the qualified electors, will make
up the mass of the party, it is led by
white men of great influence and
ability. Among these we observe all
the Radical leaders-all the men
known to the North as among the
foremost patriots Of the South, the
fearless endorses of Congress, and the
decided adversaries of the reckless
and abandoned apostate in the Presi-
dental chair. Such gentlemen rs
Judge Humphreys, n. j, Satfold,
John c. Ketier, w. III. Smith, led or
sanctioned the proceedings. ~
What has thus been inaugurated
in Alabama will speedily be done in
all the Southern states, and the Car
olinas, Louisiana and Mississippi may
be looked upon as reliable Republi,
States. BY voluntarily giving the
ballot to the blacks, Tennessee, also,
has secured to herself o permanent
Union majority. The Republican
party of that State are preparing for
a strong campaign, and have sent
north for speakers to canvass the
State. We hope that the call will be
responded to, and that the speakers
will not stop in Tennessee but will
canvass the entire South. holding Re.
publican mass meetings everywhere,
and instructing blacks ~and whites
alike in their new political relations
and duties. 1t would be a grand
sight to see Republican campaign
speakers, like Garfield, Logan, Nor,

Forney, Bingham and Banks, stump

IF the Union men OF the county

that we published last week, we pre-
sumo that they sec the necessity OF
organizing Immediately and thoroug.
", If they have not already done so.
The Democracy intend to work at
this election for the Fall campaign
and election. They will endeavor to
make gains in every township in the
State with view Of carrying it next
Fall. What are Union men doing tc
meet this efrurt2 Are they ready

dente assists those who help them

tories to keep up their organization

success. If they do, the. e.Fali,or 1857
will open their eyes. 1t will be i'm
possible for the Democrats to derea

done everything possible since it,
