Southern Black Man.

Is there a negro in the South so blind as not
to be able now to see that he has nothing, alb
solutely nothing, to hope from the people Of the
North, and that he must so act as to secure and
preserve the goodwill of the people of the
South, among whom his lot for veal or woe is
cast, or be left helpless outcast, denied all
sympathy, kindness, employment and protec-
ton? AS the vine to the trellis, or the ivy to
the tower, so should he cling for support to the
white man of the South. The emissaries Of
Radicalism are actively engaged in severing,
one by one, the ties which bind him to his best
friend-the Southern white man. He should
spurn their counsel, turn deaf ear to their pro-
LESSONS of affected friendship mistrust their
sincerity, leave the secret leagues into which he
has been entrapped, and cling with increased
tenacity to those who have, in the past, shown
both the ability and disposition to protect, en-
ploy and kindly treat him.
The Southern black man should be the friend
of the Southern white man, and uice uersd.

We appeal TO the sensible end rejecting negro
men of the State and the South at large to
ponder well upon this base treachery Of their
especial guardians. They must, upon q mo-
ment' reflection, see that it is no love for them
no desire to elevate their political or social
standing, which has here placed the ballot in
their hands. Else why is it that the Radicals
are not aetuated by the same motives to bestow
the right ofvoting upon them in the free States?
It is merely that they may be used as eats

T. S. Treasury to the hungry, greedy Radical
monkeys who infest its portals 1t was for no
other object under Heaven than that they might
secure the Southern States with Radical Con-
