On The Line Of Color.


If parties shall, BY the Interference of
Northern Radicals, be formed IN the South
on the lire Of color how long before an " ir-
repressible conflict between white and black
labor viii be IN full blast? White Iaborers
can be drawn from al parts Of the world
Antagonist of race viii array the color with
color, andrace with race. From what coun-
try viii the African race draw vheir rein
fOrcements From Africa No The
Radical Government itself would not toler-
ate an influx Of wild Africans Can the
Radical leaders not preeeive, can the intel
ligent black men not perceive, from this
hint, that the true friends Of the colored
race are those who desire to live in harmonr
and peace with them, to give them employ
ment and remain their protectors? The
present attempt to form a black mans party,
for mean and sordid ends, may result in the
rum Of that people. When the poor dupes
shall discover the cheat practiced upon
them, the authors of it viii be far away
from the ayengIng arm of n betrayed people.
The carpet sack heroes will be on the retreat
to parts unknown, with their pockets full of
the proceeds Of the labor, toll and sweat of
their victims The gentlemen (?) who, as
Mr. Wallace said Of them last night sneak
into back yards and back doors to carry on
the work Of arraying the races, mean to
take care of themselves, and when their
work is accomplished, to leave the poor, fat
tered, pampered, deceived freedmen TO take
care of themselves.
/ Now, we have this to say, and say it from
no impulse, but from calm reflection, that if
/ the eolored people of the South shall accom-
| plish that which they are attempting in la
! bama and Louisiana (the formation of a
branch Of the Radical party,) the people of
/ the South will begin 1T once to form sOcie-
! ties for the promotion Of emigration Of white
/ labOrers from all parts Of the world. This
IS what they will do and what they should
do. In a contest of races, the advantage is
all with the whites. White laborers have
been imported into Virginia and Georgia
and have given the greatest satisfaction
Immense districts of country that were once
/ cultivated by black labor Will as Il result OF
the Radical policy, be devoted to white labor
The truth is, the cOlored Iaborer, after turn
ing politician, will spend the greater part OF
his time at Radical meetings and in contriv
ing ways and means to head off the white
man The North employs white labor Why
not the South May one section not dc
what another section does The North, the
Radical North, will not have black labor, moi
tolerate black IabOrers to the exclusion Of
white lsbOrers. The South can, in shor
time, procure an immense amount of white
labor from Europe; The laborers thus i'm
ported, will not only be the friends Of the
employers, but they will swell the voting
strength of the whites. Laborers and CAPT
talists will come from the North and West
Thousands of Federal soldiers Will come
and, in turn, become identified with the South
and vote with the South. It is the grea
misfortune Of the cOlored people that they
cannot comprehend the logic of events
Their teachers have closed up all avenues
to their reason, by making a condagratiol
of their passions. In the end, when it ma,
be too late, the light will break into thei
minds We pity them because they are tn,
dupes Of the worst set of men that eve
cursed a country, or made hell of State
We pity them, because we are their friends
We pity them, because they know not wha
they do-PubHc Ledder.
