LET THE NiGGERs AND MESDlcASTs BEwARE-We
find the following in the New York Citizen, edited by
General Halpn, who served with distinction in the
United States Army during the late war Mare Mark
ham, McVean, and other uiggers would do well to
read and digest
The daily papers making great mudde over
the opinions of the prominent generals and the people
at large the question of reconstruction They tell
that Grant approves Of the course of the President
that Thomas agrees with Sheridan, and that Sherman
favors the plan of Congress- vice versa according
to their political bias. We tell them all that if
the Congressional system is to put the South in posses
sion of the negroes it does not the views of the
people, the sailors in our fleets, the soldiers in
armies, the merchants their desks, the farmers at
their poWs, any other large body of Citizens
A St. Domingo is not what we fought for; We do not
want it, and will not have it; and that the niggers
whether white OR black, may understand well first
as last Nations are cruel when driven to despair
and, rather than Surrender white nationality,
will massacre enslave every colored man in the
States. This may be bold language and inconv en-
tona, but ask our readers whether it does not
meet the confirmation Of their hearts ? We have
sacrificed too many whites for principle to stop at
taking the lives Of few worthless blacks.
Let others besides the mare" and his "gelding
read the above, and ponder well upon the language
used and the source from which it emanates.
Here is another dose for the meldicants for fear the
above does not sit we'll their stomachs. Blue mass
should always be followed by dose castor lie"
The " lie We find in the Cincinnati Inquirer Of the
Sd inst:
Louisiana destined to negro rule! The destines Of
the State placed in the hands of 10000 plantation
negroes just Released from servitude and nearly all
ignorant of the science Of government as the bIutes
Of the field! Two negroes in the Congress from
that State Negro State officers and negro local leg
islators In short the white no longer rules in
Louisiana. By revelation, supported by the North,
the whites have been put under the heels Of negro
majority Louisiana may not be member of the
Southern Confederacy, bat she has practically been
annexed to Africa, and has no longer any communion
with the white race which rules the Northern half of
his continent. Here is of the beautiful effects of
lie Radical policy. We have driven out the CoHfede-
acy and not to take its place ourselves but therein
20 install the barbarous and besotted Africa.

Discussion Useless .

II may tie 50, to tie negro, for The purpose Of con
trolling bis VOTE at present; but that il neither tie
purpose nor the anticipated result We grant that be
stands committed BIZ The pledges Of Radical clubs By
bis own natural aspirations, by the Radical education
instl.ed into his r.iGd and heartin word, to vote
for Convention and carry out the requirements Of
the military reconstruction bills.
The euds proposed appeal too strongly to bis love
of power and his hope Of revenge to encourage any
thought or effort Of controlling his vote in the ap
psoaclng election. But discussion is not useless :;
nay, It is absolutely necessary he cannot read the
public prints TO correct the misrepresentation Of evil
disposed persons who for the sake of party PURPOSE
are busy engaged in inaaming his preudices against
the Southern whites in order to destroy his confidence
in them.
1t is necessary to expose the means employ ed for
this purposethe secret meetings and the hired ennis
saries of the Radical party-o warn him against such
persons and such means, and to show our own knder
purpose, to regard him political minor and our
willingness to advance and educate him properly so
that he can hereafter integenty perform the duties
belonging to citizenship. 1t is necessary for the sake
of our own candor that purposes, objects and
his limited comprehension, that be may know our po-
sition the position Of the Executive and the position
OF the National party opposing negro supremacy. It
may not be necessary for the whites, as class, but
it is necessary in order to show the sheep from the
goats.
And lastly, it is necessary an, enlinenty proper,
in order to provoke open and public discussion on
great principles, and substitute that for tho midnight
debates Of ignorant and evil disposed men. 1t should
be conducted with the utmost fairness and without
appeals to the prudices but to the common interests
Of the races, and at public assemblies Of the whites to
which the blacks should be invited Nor should We
urge this upon them but let them know our speakers
will address them if they desire it. Advice unasked
is always thrown away and duty is to advise to
instruct and, if possible encourage and deserve
their confidence. Calm ard careful! discussion in this
way We believe will ensure lasting moral effects but
n heated canvass in the old paftY style would be
public calamity.

The QUESTION OF REGISTRATION UNDER THE AMSEs-
rY--A Washington correspondent writing under
date OF the 10th says: 1t may be said upon authentic
information that the President does not propose TO
issue an order opening up interfering with regstra-
ton, as apprehended by some He does not regard
it as within his province to interfere in any manner
by direct official inteposition, with the working and
detail OF registration and the proposed elections in the
Southern States. 1t is his opinion that whatever may
be legal in the effect and bearing of the amnesty pro-
ca:aon upon the civil and political status of those
Who come within its provision, it is for those persons
themselves TO assert their rights if they be denied,
and, If need be, test them by the modes and process
any there be, Indicated by the laws Of the land; but
nevertheless, it is believed to be the unqualified
opinion Of Mr. Johnson and members of the Cabinet
save General Grant, who has not expressed his view
on the subject, that under tie constitution disability
to registration and voting are removed from per
who belonged to either classes of amnesty by the
proclamation Of the 7th Instant the aforcsl seventh
section to the contrary Notwithstanding.
The same correspondent says intination of an-
other proclamation supplemental that issued on the
3D. instant given out from official quarters It will
relate, it is said, to the policy Of the Administration
on the enforcement OF the laws
General Butler takes diAereu: view, and proclaims
(savs the correspondent that he believes the
purposes of Johnson, indicated by his acts within
the past month"; revolutionary, anu intended to
defy Congress, and that johnson must be impeached
4. early day of the approaching session of Com
5rcss. Butler says the amnesty proclamation is in
ended especially to nulify section seven of the last
reconstruction act, which provides that
no person shall be registered vote by reason of
