We had short dispatch. Monday morn.
ing last, from Richmond, Virginia; of an
incsndiary speech by one Hayward, of
Massachusetts; at Radical meeting. The
following letter from Richmond, gives the
matter more in detail. The writer says:
and in extremely radical way began prove the
pericrty of the black the white man. Massachu
sets and New England generally were lauded to the
skies, and most damaging contrasts drawn be-
tween the temperate steady and intellectual habits of
the down-easters in comparison, the speaker was
pleased to believe with the rum drinking reckless ans
debased ways of the people of Richmond He consider
ed the greatest and most phanthropc work the North
could engage in would be elevate the Southern peo
pie from the low scale of civilization they occupied
and be trusted the black clement of the State would be
instrumental in helping forward, in connection with
their Northern friends, this great undertaking.
| Colonel Marsh followed the proceeding speaker,
and after telling stories of rebel oppression
told his hearers he in favor of Thad Stevens Con-

MIR. Wardcl, the next speaker declared he the
right bower of Hunnicutt. and in OF extreme
radical tone delivered in sngsong fashion, said that
nothing IN Gcd Almightys world would put the rebel
men and women in the proper track but conilscaon.

1t must be evident to every rejecting
mind that the tendency at this time in
Southern society is towards a conflict of
races-not from any action Of the whites
of that section, but fiom the efforts of
Northern Radicals 10 create a party to be
composed almost entirely of negroes. 1t
is the anxious endeavOr of Wilson, Kelley
and that class of Northern Radicals now
traversing the Southern States, to create
an antagonism between the whites and the
blacks. The latter are influenced by just
such speeches as those above referred to.
They are urged tc demand equality, social
ity, civilly and politically. They repel
any and every discrimination between the
races Where the whites 80, they demand
to go and share like privileges-on cars,
steamboats,, at hotels, concert-rooms, and
in the public schools. No discrimination
must be made on account of color And
to secure all that, black party, composed
of the negro race, must be formed against
the white race How that will terminate
is easily told. twill eliminate in a war
of races and it is just as easily told what
will be the result of that war: The blacks
will be exterminated.
And, to gain temporary power, the Rad
icals are manipulating the negroes into
that antagonism against the white race at
the South Sumner, in his recent letter
to Rev. Tilton, declares that the negro vote
is necessary to the preservation of the Re-
publican perty. And to secure the votes
of the negroes Of the South, that race must
be operated upon by expectations of d;vis-
ions of land, confiscation Of the property
Of whites, and perfect equality with the
whites in every thing. And that can only
be accomplished antagonism-by
the formation Of Black mans party
against White mars party The Radi-
calls could not DO the blacks any greater In
jury than by getting them into such po-
stion To demand, and to attempt to Sc
cure, on the part Of the blacks, social
equality with the whites, will lead to war
of races just so surely as the sun rises and
sets. And it seems to us that the Radi-
cal leaders are aiming to produce that ter
rible conditions, in order to profit by the
disturbance. The elevation of the negroes
they care nothing about. They regard
them no further than they can be made
useful in perpetuating the rule of the Re-
publican party. they know this state OF
affairs can not last always, and the blacks
will, sooner or later, be under the control
of superior race, and then well, they
say, after us the deluge, We viii use the
blacks during cur day; it matters not to
us what becomes of them after we are
through. E.cr.I
In the mean time the financial disorders
of the country are to be continued, trade;
and commerce and business must lauguish;
and heavy, crushing taxation take hope
from labor. The question may we'll be
asked, wherein is humanity to be pettered
by this unsettled condition of finance and
business, aud especially by war ofracesg
