But while similar conduct on the part OF
hundreds of persons kept thousands of color
ed men from the polls, a system of direct per-
secution did far more; and but for the latter
the vote would have been sufficiently large to
have secured the ratification of the Constitu-
ton. Nearly all the land, as every intelligent
reader must know, is possessed by the rebel
element, and it is by securing employment at
the hands OF these men that the poor, both
black and white, must live, and as con-
sequence the landholder can exercise great
influence over bis employee; and this was ex-
ercsed continually. The threat to lischar4e
all who voted was almost universal, while the
promises to retain those in employ who
would remain away were proflse, and there
suit can well be imagined. Such tactics would
carry an election almost any where; and the
effect would be far more apparent where the
state of society is disorganized, and where all
the wealth was arrayed on one side, and
nearly all the poverty on the other, and where
there was free vent for every kind of trickery
and chicanery. r..F f--fsrs = XII

In addition 10 the tactics already spoken
of, another system was employed exclusively
with the poor whites, TO whom it was rep
resented that the Constitution irrevocably es-
tablished negro supremacy; that the result of
its adoption would be negro Governors, negro
legislators, Congressman &C., and that it
should be beaten at all hazards. And l can
assure you that, even among the Southern
Radicals, especially the natives, there is an
immense prejudice against the negro A
man is called a Radical down here, not be-
cause he likes the negro, but because he is
hostile to the rebels. This ug-bear of ne
gro supremacy kept five hundred whites from
the polls in the small section of Alabama
north of the Tennessee river, and perhaps
five thousand in the State-a no trifiing num-
Der in the late contest, possibly enough to
have turned the scale in the election.
HOPE RBoM NORTHERN DEMOCRATS.
7 confidently believe that, but from the
bope entertained by future Democratic vic
tories in the Nofth, all parties would have
voted for the adoption of the Alabama Con-
stitution, confidently believing that anarchy
is the worst at all conditions OF society. and
that all wrongs would speedily be rishted !;
but last fall elections gave the rebels hone.
and they almost uniformly believe that the
Republicans will be beaten at the next Pres
identlal election, and that Pendleton, OF some
other man of his stripe, will be Andy John
sons successor. They will, in November
next. learn that once more they have relied
on the Democracy in vain.
SUFFERING IN THE SOUTH.
There have been several years of suffering
in the South caused by two things:
1. Idleness on the part of white and blacl;
alike.
2 A determination GA the part of the
whites not TO accept the situation.
How long period viii be required to teach
the people both industry and wisdom, can't
conjecture, but fear it will be a long one,
and that next year louder cries for help will
come up from the South than ever before:
Thousands of negroes who would work, VIII
not be allowed to do SO, because they voted !
the late election; and when the pinching tlme
comes, not only these blacks, but thousands
of others, and as many whtes-idle, worth
less fellows-will wall loudly Tor relief, and the
North will be expected to AID them hperaliy.

couraging; our numbers are steadily increas

in my experience We have no need for disci-
pine; the moral and religious tone Of the

This Institution, situated in a healthy re-
pion about midway between Lexington and
Natural Bridge, deserves to be ranked with
the best preparatory schools in our State. 1t
is under the management of Mr.. David +.
Laird graduate with distinction of Wash.

qualifications for his profession. He is not
simply good scholar but has the talent of
imparting his knowledge and stimulating the
minds of his pupils, and is not content with
ANYTHING but thorough instruction These
qualifications were manifested in the recent
closing examinations in his school, These
examinations were minute and sitting, and al
lowed no evasion; and yet the pupils displayed
in most instances, very thorough acquaint
ance not only with the formulas of the text
books, but with the general principles of the
several studies. In word, Mr.. Laird is one
of the most competent, faithful and conscien-
tious teachers Of our acquaintance, and for
thorough instruction, good discipline and re
ligious influence we take pleasure in commend
ing this school to the patronage of guardians
and parents.
