Everything seems on the high road to de-
struction In the South. The Negroes have
taken to politics and whisky, while the
Federal Government so deals with the
Whites that they have not encouragement
to do more than to try live from hand to
mouth. This comes of the policy of the
Radical Congress in undertaking, for the
purpose of perpetuating their power to
make the half-civilizcd Negroes of the
South, who, when lett to themselves, run
into barbarism as naturally as duck does
into water, the ruling power and the
Whites "the hewers of wood and
the drawers of water" for them.
1t don't result from quarrel
between the Radicals in +. Congress
and the President; but it results from the
accursed Congressional policy that seeks to
humiliate and degrade the Whites by ex-
alting the offspring of cannibals and bar
barians over them--of giving over the fairest
and most prolific portion of the United
States to the rule of race that have turned
jamaica and IIayti substantially into desc
lation and poverty and made revolution
chronic therein. To expect that such
policy would produce in the South results
different from those produced in countries
where that race exercises governing power
is to expect an impossibility. President
JoHNsoN's policy, although it was some
what irregular in arriving at il, recognized
| the superiority of the White race and their
consequent rightful supremacy. Two years
and half ago he inaugurated that policy,
but Congress set it to one side for its Affri-
canizing policy. For two years that body
has been working on that policy on ~
What is the result upon the North? We
see that in the South-it is disastrous in
material point of view. 1t is a success so
tar as getting the Negroes to legislate and
vote for the permanency of the Republican
party. All accounts from New England
concur that widespread distress prevails
there. The Boston Commercial Bulletin says
| that sin no part of the country is industry
at SO low an ebb; capital so unremunera-
tive in its investments, and their joint
products 30 poorly paid for, as, tin New
England at. the present time. The spec
ialties Of" skilled labor, which were once
source of wealth to the capitalists and
profitable employment to the people, are
now drug in the m irket, and refuse to
go into consumption at any price," The
NeU rHauen Comm Register says that

several of the largest factories are running
upon three quarters time, while some have
stopped entirely. The Corporations of
Biddeford, Maine, have cut the wages
d)wn. The operatives of the Cocheco
Manufacturing Company, at. Dover, have
had their pay reduced ten per cent. while
the .woolen mill in Littleton has cut the
wages of its employees down Is per cent.
In Enfield the wooden mills are running on
three-quarters time.t Fifty thousand men
mechanics, artisans and laboreI s--are out
of employment in New York city. Three
hundred hands have been thrown out OF
em ployment by the stoppage of the Rensse-
laer Iron Works at Troy, New York.

From this exhibit, indicating something
as to the condition Of affairs in New Eng
land and the North, it will be seen that
while the South suffers, the mechanics and
laboring men outside of the South suffer
in an almost corresponding degree. This
comes chiefly from desoiatiug the South
and attempting to Africanize it. Are we
not warrante l.. the refore, in assuming that
we shall not have wholesome prosperity
until q party is put into power that uill
recognize the pre-eminence of the White
race, and administer the Government in
the interest of that race?
