Editor Clarion:-Old Copiah is alive with
Democratic enthusiasm. From 700 to 1000
persons were in attendance at the Mass
Meeting. The day was consumed by adj
DIR sses from Gen. Martin, Mr.. Barksdale,
and four colored orators, who spoke enthus-
iastcally for the Democratic cause, viz !:
Messrs Thos St Clair. Daniel King, Jacob
Cooper and Scipio Cunningham AT night
there was magnificent torch-light process
sion. The colored people joined heartily in
the display. Many banners and transpar-
encies with appropriate devices and notices,
we're borne by white and black. The night
audience was addressed by Hons. w. T.
Harris and Thos. j. Wharton. The whole
souled and patriotic citizens of old Copiah,
deserve great credit FOR their efforts in the
cause of constitutional liberty. You may
be sure that she Is all right f. J.

The Intelligencer speaking of the
policy of the Radical party, as tits adj
ministered in Washington City, by it's
leaders:
1t has come to this, that negro suf-
frage is better than soldier suffrage in
the estimation of the leaders of Radi-
calism. Let the soldiers throughout
the land remember that their comrades
here have been, by the Radical leaders,
placed beiotO the most ignorant negro
supported by the Freedmens Bureau.
The negroes are allowed to vote,
whether ofage or under age, without
owning any stake in the community
further than the cost Of his being
brought here to vote; while the enlis-
ted soldier, all SCARED over in the bat
ties of the Union, who happens to
have home and family here-who
has no other home-simply because he
is an enlisted soldier, is denied the
privilege to vote upon the selection of
those who are to tax his property, and
is required to stand idly by while ig-
norant and imported negroes parcel
out and levy taxes upon what little he
may have gathered together.

ABEL ALDERsoN.-We have been
furnished with the original papers in
the case of Abel Anderson VS.. Mary
Gaunt, which establishes the fact that
in 1858, the said Anderson endeavor-
ed to have expelled from the State,
the said Mary Gaunt, because she was
free woman of color, and living in
the State contrary to the then statutes
thereof. 1t appears that Mary Gaunt
kept boarding house at Fayette, and
that Anderson was due her a consider
able sum, for board. He failing to
pay the same. she sued him; where
upon he resorted to the expedient of
seeking her expulsion from the State
The result was that she sold herself
to citizen of the county, in order
that she might remain. The colored
people of Jefferson and Franklin have
been advised of this and other like
acts in the history Of Abel, and have,
very generally, determined that one
who has proven so untrue to their
race, shall not now receive their votes
for the office of Senator.
Anderson is fair type O. the entire
host of Radical candidates, who are
seeking to bamboozle the colored
people.

Who Pays tGe Taxes

The Radical says the rich man,
Truth says the laborer 1t is true the
property of the country first pays the
taxes, but this property is alone able
to pay this tax by the labor that is
put on it. If a house or piece Of land
is to be rented the man who owns
them counts up the taxes he has to
pay and adds that to the rent, so that
the man who rents the house or land
pays back in the rent the taxes that
the owner has paid. If house is to
be built, the man counts the taxes he
will have to pay as part of the cost of
the house, and unless the mechanic
will build the house at a price reduced
by the amount Of taxes that has to be
paid, the house is not built.
If cotton and corn are to be
cultivated the man makes a cal
culation how much it will cost
to feed the hands and mules, and
what will be his other expenses, among
which is his taxes, and then unless he
can get labor at price that will en-
able HIM to pay these expenses and
his taxes, and then make money, he
does not work the place. The mer-
chant, when he sells his goods, takes
into consideration what his goods cost
him, how much freight, &C., he has to
pay, and then puts on his house rent,
his license and taxes, and sells his
goods for a price to pay all this and
his profit beside. Here the merchant
first pays the taxes, but those who
buy his goods pay him back these
taxes. Thus it will be seen that the
labor of the country ultimately pays
all the taxes. AS the labor of the
country produces its wealth-so the
labor of the country bears all the tax
es. Therefore, every tax of the Radi-
calls is an additional burden to the
poor white man.
CLARKE CoUNTY.-A correspondent
writing from Enterprise, says:
The Democrats had a glorious
meeting here last night A colored
Democratic club has been organized
here. There are clubs at Quitman and
Shubuta. The negroes here are tax
ing very active part, and they are
becoming so strong that the Loyal
League negroes do not run over them
as they have being doing. You may
rely upon old Clarke for the Democra-
cy. The negroes are far more zeal
Gus in the Democratic cause, in every
place / have visited, than they are in
Jackson. Everybody here takes pains
to explain the sit-aiton to the negro.
