Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1867-09-27

TO BE GUARDED AGAINST
The New York Tribune manages to In
clpde IN one brief statement more mis-
takes. mot to say falsehoOdsl than We
have ever seen in one short paragraph,
Here Is q specimen:
Albert Pike, uureconstruCted rebel, In
vents the story that 8 great many cs7-
loads Of negroes have been sent ron
Tsrnessee and other states into OaiO 60
vote st the coming election. Pixies pa
par THE Memphis AUGldHChs) IS quite s.
hitter and reckless As Il wa IN is en-
forced migrstiOns during the WsT.
In this community it Is not necessary
10 ansIvEe the errors In the shove state
msut. We will only say that the inior-
nation TO which the Tribune refers sp-
pesred Ia our c0tempOrary, the Aud-
l1gchs but we have been told that 1t Is
correct that several carloads Of negroes
passed up the Mobile and Ohio railroad
about three weeks sgo, and that they
were destined for the State Of Ohio.
Does not this look very suspicious We
wish 10 csll the attention Of our
Northern contemporaries 70 the rumor,
snd 10 ask that they will
ferret u the imputed frauds upon
the franchise laws o. Ohio. 1t Is s well
known fact that the Radicals Of the
North expended thousands Of dollars
upon the Tennessee election, and that
heavy frauds were praetised by the i'm
portation Of negroes from the neighbor-
ing states. To save the great State OF
Ohio 70 Radicalism, would they not be
willing 70 expend thousands Of dollars .
A few hundred or thousand negroes from
the South might decide the fate Of the
nation DO favor Of ~despOtism. And this
species OF traffic can be as easily carried
or, by the free use Of capital, as the traric
10 sheep, hogs or other cattle can be
operated, through our continuous lines
of railroads. Many Of the negroes may
become n0madic voters, or literally
speaking, q floating vote, to be used,
Ike paws, by the Radical managers, to
carry d0ubtfUlStstes, and thus secure the
balance 10 their favor, in every contested
election. The difficulty Of detecting
these unlawful and fraudulent votes Will
give assurance TO the corrupt leaders and
make them bold TO undertake the bust
ness. Many Of these negroes have no
patr0nymic, or having one which they
have recently adopted, and not being
valuable or valued, they shed it, as a
susks sheds his skin, every season. IN the
recent election in Richmond, Va, seve-
Fsl hundred negroes offered their votes
who were unable to remember the
names by which they were registered.
We presume IL is one Of the routine
duties Of the Union Leagues to teach
them their registered names but In some
instances they are either remiss, or the
negroes are too insttentive or stupid to
remember them, a. 10 the case a. Rich
m0nd. How will the people Of Ohio
Ike % have their d~estinies decided BY
such ignorant barbarians as theses
For this is the very class Of
negroes who will be chosen on
the duty Of determining who shall be
the TlleHs Of our Northern neighbors. II
IL IL not true that large numbers Of ne
groes have been shipped north on the
railroads for this purpose, we believe
&c imminent danger; for the
temptation thus held out to IS corrupt,
anprincipled and interruptions q party as
that which follows the dictation and lead
Of the white-hatted philosopher, Hon.
ACE GREELEY, never omits the oppor-
% avail itself Of any temptation
tbs Devil, or GREELEY, can de-
monstrate to It Is profitable to itself and
destructive to the welfare and happiness
Of the country. We trust that our Ohio
exchanges will see TO it that the utmost
vigilance IL adopted 70 defeat this last
ID most fragrant danger to civil liberty
and constitutional right.
