Of the thirty-ninc thousand Afri-

six. Great Britain imported and sold

The Question of Questions.

The accounts that como from ever,
direction of collisions bctwccn tho
two races domiciled in tho South arc
but coniirmatory of tho truth of what
we have hccn stating and rc-statina
for the past two years-that is, that
tho question before US of tho South is
a question of races aud nota political
question in tho general accebtation OF
the torn. Even tho financial ques.
tion, which is 50 potent in this cam
paign, will pass away and be forgot
ten, just as the speculation and plans
for checking the deterioration of Con-
federate money arc already forgotten.
Six short years ago how deeply wo
were interested in tho discussion of
the Confederate debt and the best
measures of saving the government
notes from becoming uttorly worthless.
Six short years have passed, and who
thinks any longer of the Confederate
debt Six years moro will place tho
Federal debt by the side of tho Con-
federato, as Pitt slumbers by the side
of Fox. For as tho Federal dobt
never can bo paid, it must necessarily
be repudiated sooner or later.
But rs we said in former issue,
the negroe question: will remain as
the mountain, while othor questions
whirl and vollcy like clouds about its
summit. 1t Is race against raco It
will be so in spite of tho cackling of
Northern geese or tho hooting Of
Southern owls. Both species of birds
may be as outraged, by seeing the
case so presented, as it is possible for
them to be at anything however out
ragcous, but this truth, nevertheless,
will prevail. One race or the other
will rule this land, for there can be
no permanent government undor
whioll both can exercise equal rights.
Ono race will assert it's supremacy
over tho other, or both will perish in
the slough of mongrclism.
No man will dare deny the truth Of
these statesmonts, for he knows that if
he does he will be made to stand up
before the public and prove the
truth of what we assert. Yet there
are too many who wish wholly to ig-
more the vital question and waste
their breadth and other peoples timo
on minor issdcs.
No recognition of the negro's right
to vote That is sound Democratic
doctrinc-the doctrine that is adyo-
Gated by Gen. Blair himself, tho Sec
ond in command of the Democratic
party. ,.sss...
TO 60 on the public stage rs the
companion OF the negro, 10 to acknowl-
edge his right to vote, if you claim
the right yourself for by going on
the stage with him under such
conditions you acknowledge him as
your equal-your social and political
equal.
We have been waiting patiently for
the commissioned leaders of the
Democratic party in the State to
speak on this subject and they will
not, and it is only now and then We
see the natural antagonism botw cen
the races breaking out in every direc-
tion that we throw aside all ceremony
and present the question stripped Of
the garbs that sophistry has thrown
around it. It is race against race !;
and the man who seeks political aflil-
iation with the negro race is an eno-
my to the white race, let him call
Himself by whatever name he pleases.
