Radical ExnItatiou mt vIrginia's Degrnda-
On the morning of the first day of election
in Louisiana under the reconstruction laws
we warned the radicals that the success Of
their policy in the South would be more than
balanced by decisive defeats at the North.
We told them that their shouts of exultation
at the degradation Of white men would be
responded to by the Great West in such lam
guage as would Enthusiastically inform the
world whether our recent war was fought for
the preservation Of the Union, or for the ag-
grandizement Of negroes and the enslavement
of our own race How well and fully these
warnings and prophecies have been realized
let the late elections tell We had hoped that
the rebuke Of Ohio and Pennsylvania would
have taught wisdom to the party in power, and
have influenced its organs to cease insulting
the intelligence OF the whites in these loyal
States by claiming victories in the South which

farce was to be continued II would be allowed
to do so in silence.
1t seems, however, that the republican party
is utterly doomed, and that nothing can stay
its approaching dissolution. The negro organ
in this city, uoable to repress its joy ct the sue
cess Of the recent disgusting spectacle in
Virginia, came out in double-leaded editorial
on yesterday morning, in which the degrade
ton of the Old Dominion was made the subjec
Of undisguised pleasure and satisfaction. Do
the radical readers think that the masses Of the
republican party sympathize with them! Do
they imagine how many Of their old political
associates exclaimed, when the result was an

Perhaps they do not II may be necessary
that the votes of the State Of New York shall
be counted, on the 9th Of November next,
before the fact Of how positively they
have played into the hands Of their opponents
becomes fully evident But even as we warned
them before so do we warn them again. Vir-
ginia, rcbellious and defiant, excited our anger
and called forth punishment from us. But
Virginia, loyal AID submissive, has our heart
lest sympathics. In no manner and form do
the people Of the North regard the recent cleo
ton in that State as q triumph Of loyalty and q
defeat Of treason. They see in II only the
degradation Of member Of this Union, who,
from the establishment Of our independence,
has been endeared to us by thousand glo-

Of negroes voting like so many mechanical
beings; the keeping Of polls open day after

purpose OF cnsuring . radical success the
election to office OF such men as Hunnicutt and
his gang OF negro constitution makers; the
antagonism OF the two races as developed In
the solid manner in which they cast their
votes, ana the rude and defiant conduct OF
the blacks, excite our earnest fears and SYM
