BeauItiful.

What soul-stirring pleasure Radicals
will experience when they succeed in
moulding public opinion to conform to
their ideas Of Political and Social Equal
ity with Sambo and Dinah.
With what pleasurable emotions their
|philanthropio hearts will throb, when they
can gaze from their windows upon their
daughters walking arm-in-arm with the
sWeet-scented African.
With what ecstatic emotions the white
daughter will inform her gray-haired ia
ther of her engagement with Benjamin
Wade Fremont, and assure him that he
will prove stay to his declining years.
What jolly time the White wife OF
the black Negro will have in caressing
and running her dainty fingers through
the "knotted and combined lock-" of her
dusky lord. Ughl
The Negro-loyers in power advocate a
doctrine which is fast tending to the
above. The picture is not oyerdrawn,
and an attentive perusal by Radicals is
invited.

Tennessee ElectIon.

The New York TEn,eshas the following
on the election held on the 1st inst;
.'The triumph Of the BrownloW faction
proves..only the success with which it has
manipulated the registration of voters
As an indication of State feeling or pol
icy it amounts to nothing When man
in Office possesses the power of disfran-
chisiBg his opponents, his election OF re-
election can be considered only a sign of
thorough, unscrupulous work-not of
moral strength or personal or political
popularity. And when he outrages pro-
priety by appointing candidates as regis
trars, and SO enabling them to adapt the
lists to their own convenience, the fact of
their election follows as regularly as night
follows day. Indeed, the Tennessee cleo
tion was, on the whole, a meaningless for
mality. With four-Gfths of the whites
disfranchised, aud with the registration
altogether in the hands of Brownlow and
his men, what signifies the vote OF Thurs
day last?'
