PeculiaI-itics of Prentice.
A recent correspondent in the Evsn-
ing Gazctte thus alludes to the editor of
the Louisville Jourauis htih 3o lna6s
Prentice is really man of marked
ability, and Of deserved reputation as a
poet and wit, much as he has been
overrated In both capacities. His wit Is
q thing of practice and study; and his
best effects have been merely verbal
isms. HIS custom has been to make
the Jest and then fit II to something,
assuming to find q paragraph in the
newspapen hich would furnish the
opportunity to be funny.tetG ,ga4s.t.,s.
For Instance, he would think Of the
double meaning OF cane Hs d common
and proper noun, and would imnietii-
ately write: "The editor Of the ----------

our brow. We'll. III we have, tits aconl

has often had" Essen
Prentice has been al. much abused
and praised as any man In the United
States; has had several street fights,
and always manifested q pugnacious
alacrity, which, coming az he did from
New England, has helped him materi-
ally In Kentucky, and prevented him

Political sentiA ent in the South De-

How consistent with the unchang
ing laws of Almighty God that where
sin aboundeth even mountain high
there shall follow reign of Grace
Then even less strange, tnat where
intense oppression has been the rule,
there shall follow reign of liberty
unalloyed with restriction
God rules. Men dispense justice
and law in obedience to his will
Satan rules by Divine permission that
good may come of evil and God re-
ceive the glory and honor,
These remarks are deemed good
to precede the following words cop
led from the prospectus Of newspa>
per to be started soon at Vicksburg,
Miss, by some colored and white cit
liens.
We copy SO much Of the prospect
us as will enable the hesitating North
to see and feel that revolutions new
err 90 backward, and that down South
they are even in advance of US in the
North. We should like to read such
q paper, supporting essentially the
measures We have devoted twenty
five years of our life to advocating.
Read this prospectus of future
day;
Believing the interests Of THE
SOUTHERN PEOPLE ARE IDENTICAL, and
that all good men, both black and
white, should cooperate in the great
work Questioning happiness, we shall
advocate
81. That white men and black men
shall vote upon the same and equal
terms, and no other.
90 That white men and black
men shall hold office upon the same
and equal terms, and no other.
20. That no tax shall be assessed
upon the colored man unles q similar
tax is assessed upon the white man.
'4. That not one dollar ofthe public
money shall be appropriated to the
education of a white child unless an
other dollar is appropriated along
side of it for the education Of q black
child.
% That there shall be no destinc-
tons or differences between persons
of different races, except such as the
God Of nature has created, and such
as the rules of politeness and usa-
ges of good society, and the unfct-
tered common sense Of mankind shall
establish and enforce, without the aid
of laws"
The undersigned conldentialy APP
peals to his own people, and to his
white friends, to sustain him in his
effort.
The services Of able writers, of
both colors, have been secured, and
apart from its political features, the
