The New york Hsrold has at last
opened its eyes to the dangers which #
ought to have foreseen long ago. It is
toe late to bswl to The heImsman or the
crew when the chips among the break
ers, or drifting Bodily down upon q lee
shore. The mischief is already done
the wind Is sown, and the whiriwind will
be reaped The workof Southern recon-
struction is already confusion worse con-
founded. THAD STEVENS, with his con-
fscation bill, and wilson, KELLY,
HUNNIcUFT and q few others have done
what no wisdom OF man can now undo.
Only one remedy is left for the people of
the South,-a general emigration, over
land, to a foreign country,-day where,
out of this Pandemonium. Like the
Tartar tribe, whose exodus from the do
mlnions Of Russia to those of China, over
the Asian desert, was 50 graphically de-
seribed, years ago, by DE Quincy, we
ought to go IN a body, the strong helping
the weak, and those with means helping
the penniless. Who will be the MosEs
of this Exodus?
From the development Of Senator
Wilson's southern tour it appears that
the blacks, from the Potomac to the
Cult, are, with few exceptions, fusing
with the republicans, while the southern
whites appear to be aIl adrift. Array the
two races against each other, and the
whites in all the ten excluded States,
except South Carolina, Mississippi, and
Louisiana, are ia the majority, so that
upon this reorganization Of southern
parties ia these states the republicans
viii have only three states against
seven, with some of the heavy cotton
districts in Georgia and AIabams
and perhaps the German sections of
Texas. But all other dangers to both
races in the south and to the republican
party are tri1es compared with the
dangers threatened from q southern po-
litical white party against a hostile south
ern party Of blacks. Republican leaders
and stump orators in their threats and
hints of confiseation aud free farms to
the blacks, are sewing the wind from
which, If they do not take care, they will
reap the wbirswind, in this bold and
elashing array Of the two races south
against each other. The history of eman-
eipation in st. Domingo is full of in
structien. We are thus warned to be
exceeding prudent in U promises and
hints to q powerful body Of ignorant
blacks suddenly transformed from slaves
to freemen.
The republican orators now stunpiug
the south are too fast. They are drifting
to 8 war of races. The blacks are be-
coming bold and defiant, with these ora
tors before them and the United States
military forces behind, and the whites
are becoming respondent and in some
cases ready for desperate measures.
Wiser counsels must guide the dominant
southern white class and these republic
can missionaries down south, or the
work of southern reconstruction will
become confusion worse cOnfounded,n
and a northern political reaction and
revolution will follow next in order.
We add TO this, IS an illustration ofthe
means resorted to in louisiana by the
Radicals, q circular which, without sig
nature, they are distributing among the
eolored people of that State to prepare
them for the elections:
Keep your certificate safely; for if you
loss III anu 10 uOt ptOCEI6 dIULQEE before I
the election, you cannot vote.
Do not let rebels scare or deceive YOU. /
If any one of them tries to scare you, 20 1
and report him to the freedmen's bureau
and he will be punished.
If sny one tries to scare or bribe you. |
either to give up your certificate of regis
tration or TO vote against your principles,
go and report the rascal to headquarters
OF the freedmen's bureau.
Do not be fooled by men who are try
ing TO induce you to 60 into the country
by offering large pay; it is only to keep
you from being at the election; they
viii discharge you as soon as it is over.
Do not be fooled by col0red men who
will try to get you to vote for rebel and
conservative candidates they are paid
to do so with rebel money.
Do not be fooled by those rebels who
profess to be your best friends; they
are the same men who tried to break up
the government, 30 that they might keep
you and your children always in slavery.
They are the same men who massaered
your brother soldiers at Fort Pillow,
when you were overpowered and com
pslled to surrender-who starved thirty
thousand Of the soldiers of the grand
army of the republic who were prisoners
AndefsonVHle, RIchmond q Belle
have, since the war, murdered
over five thousand of your brothers and
sisters-who massacred hundreds of your
people, and burned their houses over
their dead bodies in Memphis-who
killed two hundred aud wounded three
hundred Of your people in the city of
New Orleans, because they were in favor
Of liberty.
Tf fbarv oarru the oIaafsonC fhau Mill I
disfranchise every black loyalist, and
from the state your white friends
they will not allow your children to be
educated, nor you to discuss your rights.
Join the republican elGbs in your
attend every meeting, and take
your neighbor with you.
Vote tAe republican ticket at the cleo
ion. Do not be iptimidated by rebel
threats, nor bought with rebel money, to
your vote, your manhood and your
