THE RADICALS AND THE NEGRO.


In his message Of October 3, 1865, to
the Legislature, Governor Brownlow said
of the negroes
I" A large class, ignorant, docile, easily
led by designing men, and not safely
trusted with political power, am not viii
ling to see at the ballot-box. y
| think it would be bad policy, as well as
wrong in principle, TO open the ballot-box
to the uniformed and exceedingly stupid
slaves Of the Southern cotton, rice. and
sugar fields. A long and init
mate acquaintance with affairs in the South
has convinced me that the white and col
ored people cannot live together, political
ly, or socially, as equals"
1t does not need this proof to demon
strate that the acknowledgements of the
negro in this State was resorted to, not as
an act of justice to the negro, but as a
means of perpetuating the power of the
dominant Radical organization. The
Governor declared that it was bad policy,
and the Legislature positively refused to
give the negro the right to vote until the
majority of that body became satisfied
that their lease on the Offices would soon
end unless they could secure a con-
tinuance through the negro vote And
the negroes are told that they owe great
debt of gratitude to these Radicals for
giving them simply the privilege of
voting. The Governor proclaimed that
they are ignorant and exceedingly stu
pid," and yet in the hope that they will
aid in re-electing this self~same Cover,
nor, they are clothed with the privilege of
voting
The Natchez Courier says "The
colored people here at home should be
talked with by those in whom they have
long had confidence; and it should be
shown to them, as can easily be done,
that "Union Leagues" are not necessary
for their political status or their indus
trial pursuits. These leagues are usually
started by designing white men, who wish
to make the negros shoulders step lad
der to Office. The latter are too often
trying to use the negro, not for his good,
but to make money out of it. There are
some exceptions, doubtless, bnt they are
exceptions to the general rule" There
is truth in this But for the use to be
made of the negro at the ballot>box by
the Radicals, he would not have been n
voter in Tennessee to-day.

RADICAL OBJECTIONS TO THE
CONSERVATIVE CONVENTION.

There was nothing about the cOnven-
ton that suited any Radical in the city,
and, as matter of course, their organ in
this city was expected to tell them 80
yesterday morning. This it did in "A
dozen or more rambling paragraphs, each
one of them bearing evidence that it was
greatly displeased and disguised with the
whole affair There were not enough dele
gates present, though the hall was full
IL did not like Mr. Thomas speech, and
Cameron's was perfectly outrageous, and
he himself, very bad man. Baxters'
was so horrible that it couldn't do justice
20 the subject The colored feature
was absolutely heartrending, and so
discomftted the organ that it doesn't
know whether there were too few, or too
many of that class Of delegates, present,
and as for Williams, he was an outright
barbarian. But the browning objection
that the organ makes to the convention
was the nomination Of Mr. Etheridge
lie is described as the yilest of the vile,.
He's a Scullion-a Thersites-a Nallan-
digham He is represented, too, rs alb
solutely proposing to defeat Brownlow
Taken altogether, the organ Of the Nash
vile Radicals thinks it was about the
worst thing it ever saw, and evidently
intends to keep saying so for several
months
1t is an unpleasant reflection for gen
tlemen who were so well satisfied with
their work to learn that it has caused So
much chagrin and modification in certain

THE BEArH OF DIR. IIVINGsroNE.

The London Telegraph, commenting on
the great explorer, says: Yielding to no one
in our SORROW for his fate, We are vet una
bic 10 think that his life was wasted OF his
labor lost Only too well do we know that
the African is savage and brutal, treache-
rous and depraved that, so far as human
nobleness Coca, the lives of the whole tribe
who slew him were not worth that of David
Livingstone. But is this all that is to be
said2 We cannot think so. The more alb
jeci the degradation of the savage, the loftier
il that spirit which urges the civilized man
20 his rescue. Some day when the romance
and poetry of modern travel shall be wor
thily celebrated, this melancholy story,
whose truth we now so reluctantly assume,
will be amongst the grandest pages in the
chronicle. Such a book will tell how, in
the Polar wilderness, Franklin, ere he died,
knew that the dream of three centuries
had been accomplished, and that the North
west passage had been found itwillspeakof
Leichardt, the lost leader, whose traces men
still find upon the bark of the trees; it will
tell us how, after traversing the great Aus

and how Wills, alone in the desert, and

his journal with hand whose pulses grew
feebler day by day, until they ceased to beat;
il will tell us how Bishop Mackenzie, gen
tie but resolute TO the end, sickened slowly
of fever, and still, with faith mistaken,

not without comfort and consolation, for
all its sadness viii be that passage which

will advance in wealth and intelligence
with them. But if his race array them
selves against the people of the South, he
cannot expect them to prosper under the
disadvantages that will beset them In
whatever course the negroes may elect to
pursue, they should bear constantly in
mind that they cannot afford to lose the
friendship and fostering care Of the
Southern people

THE BECK OFAFEw wmITE MEN

THE BECK OF A FEW WHITE MEN.
The Press and Times quotes from the
National IafelHgencer the following
paragraph:
"In view Of the fact that the negroes go
in a solid body at the beck Of few white
men, and do not divide in their political
movement, like other classes, have not our
citizens reason to fear that there may be
peril ahead -
1t proceeds to say, that the peril
ahead" to which the EnteIHgeacer refers,
is just what the Conservatives of Tennes-
see dread. 1t is right They do fear it,
and are setting on foot energetic measures
to avert it
A few white men, such as Governor
Brownlow, John Trimble, Chaplain Laws
renee, Arnell, Stokes, Maynard, Mullins,
etc, etc, are attempting to drive the
colored voters Of this State attheir "beck
Their only hope to obtain Office, is by
DISTINGUISHING two thirds of the intelligent
and respectable white men Of the State
nine hundred and ninety-nine in every
thousand of whom, are filter for public
station than the best of them; and by
herding the recently freed and enfran-
chised negroes into Radical pens, called
colored loyal leagues; and by right,
poisoning their minds with prejudice,
and melting their bad passions against the
whites, and those of the colored race who
have independence enough to refuse to be
led like pigs with rings in their noses.
In this, there is indeed "peril," and
the Conservatives clearly descry it
There is "peril u to law, order and good
government There is peril to prop
erty There is "peril that "a few
white men and not the best in the
State either - will consolidate them>
selves into an oligarchy, whose creed will
be prescription and taxation and whose
power will increase by what it feeds on,
until they will hold every right, civil and
political, of every man, white and black,
in their own hands. They have disfran-
chised the whites, because they knew
that they would be hurled from the places
they have polluted, at the first election.
They have enfranchised the blacks, be-
cause they thought they could drive them
like sheep, at their beck and bidding
They will learn in the coming fewmonths,
that the intelligent and prOud-spirited
white men of Tennessee can checkmate
their coercion Of the colored vote, and
can protect both themselves and the ne
groes of the State, against this monstrous
fraud

this word -" A few white men,

THE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DIS
TRICT.

The delegates to the State Convention
on Tuesday, from the first Congressional
district declined taking any steps to-
wards bringing out candidate for that
district Until Hon n G. Taylor re,
ceived the appointment Of Indian Com
missioner, it was understood that he.
would be the Conservative standard
bearer. Since then there has been no
movement to put forward a competitor to
Judge Butler and he is now walking
over the track, having list Of appoint
ments running up TO The middle Of July,
aud conveniently dove-tailing with the
terms Of his court We think it highly i'm
portant that the friends Of peace, order
and good government should bring out
candidate and make the contest Unless
we are mistaken Butler can be easily
deieGte,. We have no right nor desire

Of more than COCO in his Senatorial dis
trict He announced at the outset that
he would not only give up his slaves but
his lands to save the Union and the
attachment thus strongly expressed never
abatsd during the struggle. His record
is unimpeachable, and for ability aud
personal popularity he would be entirely
acceptable We suggest and trust that
the people Of the district will make
demand for his services, OF those Of some
other good man, without delay.

HON. JOHN BAXTER.

The late convention was the occasion
Of the presence in the city of quite a
number of prominent men, to whom the
people confidently look for important
services in the struggle for the deliver
ance Of the State from the control of
the Radical party. Among them, was
Colonel John Baxter of Knox, who has
been placed at the head of the State
Central Committee Of organization. Col
b. is able, indefatigable and earnest. In
the committee room and elsewhere, he
was efTicient--though of sanguine tenn
permanent and full of fire, always giving
iudicious counsel. After the nomination
of Mr.. Etheridge, he was called upon to
address the convention, and responded in
a forcible and stirring effort. We regret
that, through the temporary absence of
our reporter, we failed to obtain an alb
stract of it, as we would have been
pleased to lay it before our readers. We
hope that Colonel Baxter will exert his
fine capacities frequently before the
people, in enforcing the necessity for the
deposition of the present State admins

New Orleans Raees-Great Three Mile
Race

The great three mile race over the Me-
tairie course, came off on Saturdaysslast, in
the presence of one of the largest crowds
ever assembled on a similar occasion.
There were four horses entered, Gen. Rous-
seau, Fanny Brown, Hattie c., and Billy
Conner. The contest was between the two
first, odds in favor of Rousseau 500 to $50,
the others $40 to 81. Billy Conner didn't
get through the first heat, and Hattie was
distanced. Rousseau won the first and
third heats and the race. Nine miles were
run to decide the question. The excite.
ment was intense, and the Piedyrtne con-
tains a solid column and half descriptive
of the contest. 1t says: at was a race
worthy to be recorded on the brightest
page of the racing calendar" The second
heat, it says, was "the closest'three mile race
ever seen on any track" Rousseau was
only few days out of one of the severest
contests known in the annals of the South
ern turf, at Mobile, in which he had won
renown-and now he was sorely tried for
his laurels. The close Of the second heat
is thus described by the Picayune
Side by side, with no advantage, each
neared tho line, when with a sudden quick
ening the filly got length, and the next
stride took her under the line the winner
of the closest three mile race ever seen on
a race track.
The shouting that followed as Fannie
made that long leap is indiscribable Even
those who staked on the horse were so ear
ried away by the wondrous struggle that,
in their excitement, they shouted also
Everybody was in an ecstacy of delight
The ladies' stand, decorated with its hun
dreds of smiling faces and the gaudeous
apparel of the pretty forms clustered there,
seemed like all the roses of spring-time
had come to bloom on its corridors, and
were bowling a welcome to the winds that
sported in their midst. Many kid glove
changed owners among the merry gather
ing up there, and many Z" told you so"
was heard from smiling lips, as Fanny
crossed the line before Rousseau"
