Universal and impartial suffrage, allied to
universal ignorance, will only add to our dan
ger giving to the masses the club of Hercules,
to be welded with the strength of the blind
Samson, after he had been slave grinding in
the house of the Philistines"
Is the above the language of some unrepent-
ant rebel whose neck deserves the halter in the
charitable view of intense Radicals? No. AS
strange as it may seem, it is the language Of
that bright and burning light in the Radical
party, the distinguished B. F. Butler.
Whilst the Radicals know, acknowledge and
thus boldly avow that universal impartial suf-
frage, allied to universal ignorance, will only
add to the danger of the country, giving to the
masses the club of Hercules to be welded with
the strength of the blind Samson yet they
insist on putting this club into the hands OF
those in the South among whom this s'univer-
sal ignorance" exists.
Knowing the evils to the country which must
result from comforting suffrage upon the negroes
in their present state of universal ignorance,
why did they not wait till they could be educa-
ted before putting the Club of:Hercules" into
their hands? Because that club would be
welded, as they supposed, to the injury of the
South alone They will find in the course Of
time that the North cannot remain exempt from
the effects of the evils inflicted by their daboli
cal agency upon the South. When that time
comes, as it surely will, the negroes will find
that their worst and only enemies live North OF

THE following sentiments of the Lynchbms
Nrginiaa SO well accord with our own that We
take pleasure in copying them;
$50 far as our own journal is concerned we
desire it to be distinctly understood that it never
seeks to go with the current of public opinion
1t rather essays to lead than to beled. It does
not pretend to express any other sentiment than
its own. Nobody but its editor is responsible
for its utterances. It holds that public jour
nal that has no independence, but is ever shap-
ing It's course to suit the shifting phases of pub.
lie opinion, is not reliable 1t is proper to add,
however, that we have satisfactory evidence Of
the fact that our present views suit large ma
jority of our readers, who heartily endorse them.
We are conservative, and SO are they. We
wish to see the Union restored, with the Con
stitution preserved, and SO do they. We are
opposed to joining the party that is laboring to
destroy the Constitution, and SO are they. we
have undoubtedly few endorsers but, few OF
many, this journal reflects our own sentiments,
which are honestly entertained, and cannot be
abandoned, even at the suggestions Of interest
or the Dictates of a selfish policy"

By her fortitude and absolute passivity, Hun
gary, although defeated, won from Austria all
for which she had taken up arms By trucking
acquiesence in disgraceful terms she would have
lost all; by .irmness she has triumphed, and is
greeted by Christendom as worthy of all the
glory which she has won.
We commend this lesson to those timid and
unrefecting Virginians who believe that they
can find safety, peace, prosperity and repose in
the bosom Of Hunnicutt, Underwood, and their
late slaves. The political association which
they propose, involves surrender of principle,
which is peculiarly base and disgraceul, because
it is not demanded by the situation because it
is voluntary, and requires an utilization with de-
moralized renegades in whom no faith nor con-
fdence can be placed. 1t proposes coalition
feelings of decency and selfrespect, that it must
end in shame, disgrace and Disappointment

Don't Desmond.

Our people should not despond however dark
the political horizon. Whilst it seems impos-
sibie Tor them to control events, they should be
prepared to meet with manliness and fortitude
whatever may be forced upon them, and repose
confidently in the reliance that Providence will
take care of them. Providence has blessed us
this season to an unusual degree with abundant
gram grass and fruit crops, and the prospect is
that we will also be blessed with fine corn
crop We should console ourselves with the re-
nechon that whilst imam proposes, God dis
poses. =

The National Mtelsgencer says that, "the
effect of Radical legislation and policy is to in

the consequent burden of taxation, that confis-

Negro Representatives. in the
North.

In view of the majority Of negro voters in
many districts in the Southern States, the New
York Herald, Republican paper, anticipates
that they will elect negro representatives to
Congress, and that the result will be a re-action
in the Northern States against the Republican
party. The more rejecting portion of the
Northern people are beginning to apprehend
that they have permitted their hostility against
the Southern people to evoke spirit which
will not down at their bidding. The Herald is
frank enough to confess, what we have often
stated, that the Northern people have stronger
preiudices against the colored people than we
of the South.
The Herald says:
'sWe may be sure that negro equality, pro-
claiming itself through negro voices from both
Houses of Congress, will make profound i'm
preston upon the public mind throughout the
North. We apprehend that the result soiH be a
general reaction against the Republican party
IN the Northern States for zoe knoao that there
Is stronger toaU Of ao1aite prejudice against the
North than erlsts an the South"
= "Curses will come home to roost,'' and the
Northern coop will be sure, in the course of
time, to be full. wicked inventions will re-
turn to plague the INVENTOR, as the people of
the North will before great while experience
Retrbutive justice will overtake them.

The Enquirer and Eramainer predicts that,
ssthe very worst revilers that the South will
have among the members Of the Radical party
will be the voters for secession who are now de-
claring for Corporation. They will be the
most violent and yet the least trusted.

1t is said that the testimony before the Ju-
dietary Committee of the House of Represen-
tatives, in relation to the impeachment bus
mess, establishes the fact s'that the reconstruc
ton policy of President johnson as developed
in his North Carolina proclamation (which was
carried out in his subsequent proclamations and
other acts) was not only substantially, but iden-
mined upon by his predecessor as his own; in
short, that the original draft of that proclama-
ton was that of the identical one intended to
be issued by Mr.. Lincoln himself AS to the
Presidents course in 'pardoning rebels" ii
further appears that it was sustained by Mr.
Lincoln to the extent of a recommendation fo1
the pardon of Gen. Robert e. Lee, the com
handing general Of the Confederate forces

Gen, Early and Mr.. Davis,

From correspondent of the Southern Opie-
aon we learn that Gen. Jubal A. Early is now
at st. GATHERINGS, a watering place in Canada,
Is miles from the Falls of Niagara, and miles
from Lake Ontario. He is suffering with rheu-
matism, and is attending that watering place
for the purpose of seeking relief from that dis
ease Since he has been trying the virtue of
those waters, he has greatly improved. He
pitches into the ''policy" men of Virginia, and
is particularly severe, says this correspondent,
on the men who formerly tainted him with be-
ing Unionist in the Convention, and who are
now bowling down and kissing the dust before
Congress.

quietly in house he has rented for the Sum-
