The Alabama Warning.

The editor of the Home Journal does
not feel like writing anything for his
paper as long as he can find such sen
sible articles as the subjoined coming
from contemporary, and an M. G., who
seems to comprehend the TRUTH as wei
as the "situation:" !"
Reconstruction lon the Radical plal
is beginning to do its work, with ap
paling celerity, in Alabama, under Gen
eral John Pope. In some portions OF
the State, the Associated Press tele-
grams tells us, the colored Loyal-Lea'
gucrs arc offering armed resistance to
civil process in others, black leaders
are going from plantation to planta-
ton, compelling the laborers there, to
join them, for vengeance, and
showing pretended orders from Gen
eral Swayne, that they had right to
kill all resisting their authority" These
alarming incidents are attended by ma
ny others, equally significant, all indi-
eating the Inauguration of a systematic
and we'll planned Reign of Terror
the predestincd victims Of which, VIC
should not be surprised to learn, ere
long, are helpness white women and
children.
We do not hesitate to say, that the
whole policy of the radicals, from the
start, has been calculated, if not de-
signed, to bring about this result
Arms have been taken from the white
population and placed in the hands OF
ignorant. and half civilized blacks. The
Frecdmen's Bureau, which we white
men of the North and West are sup
porting at all expense of millions and
millions per annum, is but a huge 10y
al League Club, by means of which Pu-
ritan preachers and New England radi-
cal politicians have been enabled to
poison the minds of the blacks against
their late masters, while the Comman-
der of the "District'' t''AGcneral John
Pope, in pursuance of the same infer,
nal scheme, has been doing all that man
can do to widen the breach, and to
bring about the dreadful scenes which
we are now called upon to record.
The men who are responsible fol
these outrages, however, are not Ala
bama men, but the Rump Congress
demagogues at Washington, and theil
auxilares, the canting preachers Of The
radical dispensation, who, under thu
protection of the military, are now
scattered all through the South, doing
all the mischief they can among the ne
gro population in their sermons, exhor
cations, and prayer meetings. Thes'
bad men were chagrined that there wer
no negro uprisings during the war, bu
they seem resolved now to leave moth
ING undone to bring about what the.
have been so long laboring and prayin:
for.
We do not know what is to proven
this war of races from going ON, how
ever, as long as the Rump Congress an'
the Radical party are in power. Th
President and General Grant, it is true
have control of the military,-and t.
them we may confidently look for sucl
a vigorous exercise of power as vii
Give these black tiends to understand
that the land is not altogether theirs,-
but, we repeat, as long as the Radical
have control Of the Federal Govern
ment, the ways and means will be eve
at hand in spite of Gen. Grant an
the President-for melting new insul
rections, and egging on the negroes t
new crimes and new demonstrations c
disgrace to Law and Order.
1t is in the power Of the People, t
thoroughly sweep these Jacobin dem'
gogues from place in less than twelve
month from date. If that power is C:
ercised there will be an end to these n
gro insurrections,-if not, the who
Southern country, after the next Pres
DENTAL election, in all human probabi

, the other.
