people TO the last feathers weight. we fairly
wriihe beneath the terrible effort TO swallow a
dose that would choke a mammoth anaconda.
We cannot do II, and we cast it aside as some
thing that would give the coup de Qrdce to all
the cherished hopes Of people who are strug-
Cling for civilization, not barbarism We are
taxed to-day one thousand millions per year
to support the radical idea that Africa has a
higher civilization than Europe, and that il ia
necessary for the United States, at any saori-
fee, to approximate itself to the African
standard.
The radicals, determined to give all the
strength possible to the negro card, train every
element in the North to its support and
while in the South they tear down all barriers
which distinguish races, while they abolish
every aristOoratic privilege, while they inau-
gurate there a Utopau agrarianism, they give
us q singular contradiction of principles in the
North. Here they strive to build up great
mOneyed monopolies, a dictatOrial banking
system, Capitalization of party power an
enTiching of the rich and an impoverishing of
the poor. Thus it becomes difficult to dis
cover that there is any great underlying prln-
ciple in radicalism, unless it be the sole idea
to retain at all hazards the power into which
the revolutionary throes Of the country forced
them.
The North is beginning to dive into this
problem, and is rapidly discovering its incon-
sistencies. There is a deep and settled reso-
luton taking possession OF the masses that
they will no longer support aristocratic privi-
| leges in the North or negro elevation a1d bar
| barism in the South. Bled to the last drop of
| blood and treasure the people begin to ask,
| "What is this money used for 2" and look
where they will they see the question an
| swered-To prop up quarter section OF
| Africa, until we see if centuries hence it will
| be able to march onward unaided. God never
made one race to support another. For this
we made war in favor of the black. As mat
ters now progress under radical rule, we fast
advance to a war to relieve the white from
supporting the black.
The future aspirants for the Presidency must
| learn the truths which we here enunciate. II
| General Grant accepts the radical nomination
upon such a platform as the radicals now
| tread he will be defeated, despite his national
| popularity and his mastery reticence. Gene
/ raj Scott was defeated where there were
| similar but minor principles involved, and
President Pierce, with all his imbecility, then
| stepped into power.
| In the South we see all the preliminary move
ments for a desolating war of caste, if the
| present programme be carried out. The ne
| groes have numerous leagues, and are provid-
| ing themselves with arms, which are given to
| them by the radicals. The white people, des-
| pairing of returning again to prosperity, and
seeing their every effort met by a crushing
blow from Congress, now give the country
over to negro rule, and emigrate elsewhere.
Domestic capital threatened, and Northern
and foreign capital frightened away; State
and municipal privileges completely under
military domination, which is destructive to
| every element of our boosted republicansm
the credit of the States destroyed; and one
half of the country desolated at the expense
of the other half-are all mournful indica
tions of approaching barbaric government
The effect on the North is already indicated
by the late elections. The negro wave mus
now ebb. 1t has had its greatest flow. The
radicals may still float on the receding black
tide; but the white people of the United States
| as a mass, have too much sense left to place
their future civilization and government undei
negro domination.
