and that decision should be accepted as final
and conclusive.

the Federal Government. supreme. il is so only
with well defined limitations and restrictions,
leaving the States large rights and powers over
their domestic concerns. and making them CO.
equal in respect of such rights; and these
rights have not been impaired by the result of

ment aggrandized by it, to the enlargement
of public liberty.

stitutional amendment.
5. The investture Of negroes with the right

men, by the same authority, is a gross usurpa..
tion of power, and policy unjust, anwise and
oppressive, and tending to excite war Of
races; the white men OF America are entitled
to superiority and supremacy in the admins
tration of the Federal and State Governments;
and any measure intended to deprive them of
it. or to divide or impair 1t, greatly endangers
the perpetuity Of free republican institutions.
6. The faith of the nation is pledged to the
payment OF the national debt according to the
terms Of the laws under which the bonds were
issued. and not otherwise. The time Of pay
ment Of the bonds ought not to be extended;
the principal Of the Five-twenty bonds ought
to be paid in currency, and the, money granted
to the national banks to be withdrawn.

Tho Negroes Drilling near the City
What Does it Meant

We learn that on nearly every Sunday,
estimated at from six to eight hundred,
assemble on Kings plantation, five
miles distant, and listen to infamma-
tory speeches from black scoundrels, and
afterwards drill. The negroes come
from all the settlements around, and
many 90 from this city. They have
flies and drums, and the majority of
them muskets and shot guns. Those
who are not thus provided, have wooden
muskets, with which they 90 through the
manual of arms, SO that they will know
how to use the deadly weapons, when
stolen or otherwise obtained. A gentle
man few days since observed negro
near Kings s plantation making wooden
musket, and asked him what it was for.
The negro replied that it was to drill
with. Some further conversation oc-
Cured, during which the negro substan-
TALLY said that he wanted to drill, SO that
he would know how to drill with the
others, and learn the use of the musket;
that the reason the negroes we're drilling
with muskets was that they were not sat
isfied and wanted their lands, and might
have to use the musket to get them.
These assemblages and drills of the
negroes bode no good to the white people
of this section, and should be stopped,
no matter at what cost. In District No.
l, the negroes last summer organized
military companies in many of the
counties, and frequently drilled, until
the matter was brought before General
5chofeld, who ordered them to be dis
banded, and saw that his orders were
obeyed. General Meade can and should
do likewise. There are numbers of
white villains who teach the negroes to
believe that they are the supporters OF
the whites and that the lands belong to
them, and urge them to assert what they
call their rights. The negroes may,
having arms in their hands, be melted to
deeds of violence against the whites by
these inaammatory harangues. But we
warn them not to attempt violence, for
the whites will not tamely submit, but
will resist, and the negro's hopes of SUI
premacy will go down in a sea Of blood.

Radical Exodus.

There seems 10 be general exodus Of
carpet-bag scalawagism from our State,
for which we feel deeply thankful. Let
US hope that those pests who came among
US bnt short year ago and found Missis'
sippi as happy as she could well be alter
the trying ordeal Of the dreadful war she
had gone through, and began their perse.
cutions by system that proved they
we're adopts in the art Of stealing, are
about to leave the country for good and
forever. They found the negroes mostly
happy and contented, working with their
old masters and getting along exceed
ingly well. They found Mississippi re-
cuperating fast from her late general de-
pressions, but like swarm OF locusis
came these scalawags, more like so many
vandals and barbarians rushing down
upon us for power and plunder, so that
where once was peace, they raised dis
turbances where once was at least com
potency, they robbed and made poor
They set the negro against their white
brothers, but, thank Heaven, the African
soon learned who was his true friend,
and sent these miserable bypocrites back
to where they came from. The election
has shown clearly that this is no country
for adventurers, whose only aim is to get
rich by robbing others under semblance
of legality. 1t has proven that men OF
all nations, who love peace and order and
who desire to become honest and law
abiding citizens, will be welcomed here
with outstretched hands and open hearts,
but we are not willing, nor will we, if we
can possibly prevent it, submit to this
Radical Congress making Botany Bay
of the South. We ask for nothing more
than any honest man could ask, and that
is, when thieves and penitentiary birds
come here to rule and plunder us, we
shall have the right to punish them ac-
cording to law. The late election and
the great political change going on at the
North in favor of Democracy has alarmed
scalawagism in the South, and the con-
sequence is, they are leaving the State
| fast. We see that old Mygatt, Gen. Du-
gan, the Yazoo Morgans, and many other
prominent carpet-baggers have already
gone. The last two named were accom-
panied to the steamboat by about two
hunnred little boys, with Grape, and each
carrying carpet-bag in hand, bidding
scalawagism hearty good-by. This is
the point of the great victory which De-
mocracy has achieved in Mississippi.
Let us continue in the good work until
our proud State is again in her proper
position Grenada Sentinel

The Brandon Republican thus replies
to the charge of fraud as to the cleo
ton in Rankin county:
''The man who says that negroes were
forced to vote the Democratic ticket is a
liar. They pere persuaded to do it.
They werc told that every Yankee who
came here to get office was a thief They
were told that the new Constitution was
Yankee trick to rob them Of their earn
ings. They tcere told that if they voted
the Republican ticket-voted to dis
franchise the white people who
we're feeding them and their families
they would thereby declare themselves
our enemies, and that when their present
contracts were out they would have to
hunt employment elsewhere, because we
would not employ man who declared
himself our enemy. That much we said
and we intend to stick up to it. But the
man who says we attempted to intimi-
date them by threats or violence, tells a
wilfnl aHd malicious lie."
