| THE NEW SOUTH.
Holy Writ embalms The tribulations OF GER
| tain SeccSsioniSts of old who were required to
say "Shbboleth" under n stern penalty, and
made wretchcd work of it, Their successors in
our day, profting by experience, do better.
The Shibboleth of the South to-day is Equal
Rights for All Men; and the ADLER and wiser
of the late Rebels are beginning to pronounce
il with creditablc approach to accuracy.
Their most notable defect is a habit of insist
ing quite openly that the former ohSarchy OF
the South can regain their lost power by accept
ing the inevitable and securing the good VIII
of the Blacks NEGRO Suffrage" argue in sub
stance Beauregard and his school, will prove
"a GOOD thing because the Blacks will vote a.
eve would have them, and thus augment our
power We admit the conclusion and simply
| ignore the premise We presume portion OF
the Blacks will vote with their old masters, II
the latter do not ally themselves with the
Northern enemies of the African race; but we
stand for Impartial Suffrage, not because 1t Will
strengthen this party or that section but be-
cause it il lntrinsically just and right.
The Mobile Tribune goats over its own sug-
geston that the Blacks will vote to repudiatc

Thus it will be seen that the Southern ne

, the stolid, british, hideoNs savages they have

fleets of Negro Suffrage" and evincing "a
every deep-seated sentiment of regret" that

very Intelligent negroes can give their Old

votes, they must shut the mouths OF such
champions % this Dispatch. IL they really
want to catch Negro votes, they must bait
their hook with something else than shred oil
