most intolerant partizanship, they could
have failed to discover ere this hour
that their insane efforts to incorporate
the negro clement with the white race
in the South, must sooner OF later result
in terrible conflict Of races that even
the aforesaid leaders will stand aehast
a: the consequences Of their own stu.
pcndous folly.
Not to speak Of the bcstiality Of The
amalgimation Of tho races, which is a
pet theory of such men as Greeley, Ray
mond, Sumner, lIiIson, Phillips, Car
rison, Frolinshuy son, andosuch lesser
lights rs Marcus J.. Ward, John Hill,
and John I. Blair, Of Dclyidcro; nor
to point out its direful effects in the
marked deterioration Of the white race
whcroyor misocgouation is extensively
practiscd-but superseded % these evils,
we find that society in the once pros
porous cotton states OF the South is
shaken from centre to circumference by
the savage and uncomfortable propensi-
tics to all sorts Of crime, which is fcara
fully exhibited by the negro element Of
those States.
1t is true beyond all shadow Of doubt,
that the Radical party of the North is
doing its"loyo! best"to bring about san
culinary war between the white and black
races OF the South. In season and out Of
season, Radical newspapers and Radical
Congressman lose no opportunity to
impress the idea upon the Southern ne.
grocs that they arc in all respects, social
and political, peers of the white man.
They demand in iho name of the nc.
gro, that he shall not only have the
ballot but that he shall be eligible to
the Highest Offices il the nation and
that the black race, having the balance
of power in the South, must insist at all
hazards, that a full recognition of such
rights must be conceded by the white
residents.
With such ;aeas forced upon them
by Radical orators, the negroes arc be-
comingmad anddcsporate that their social
and political equality romains unrooog-
nized. They are purposely kept to this
point Of madness and desperation by
carpct-bos Radical scOunlrcls for the
vilest partizan purposes and tho conso-
quonoe is that all over tho South there
is perfect reign Of terror aud appro-
henaion. The negroes are armed to
teeth, whilst the whites arc without tho
means of defense the former are back.
cd up and encouraged by the military
satraps who rule with a rod Of iron, and
the latter arc kept down aud intimida>
ted by every species of unfricnlly lcgis-
lation.
The result is boGoro US. With pain
and burning indignation we refer our
readers to the columns Of tho daily
newspapers in which arc found recorded
numerous crimes Of such fearful ma
ture, committed by negroes against So
cial life, rs almost to beGot tho question
GLOW such things can be tolerated by
just God I" Tho details Of these revolt,
ing crimes are too sickoning, too rcpul-
sivo, to find room in the columns of a
local newspaper circulating among res
poctablo families and yet they should
be published in detail in order that
Christian people, especially those who
are heads Of families, should fully realize
The en- ormities which these negroes arc
guilty Of, and for which vile Radical
leaders in the North and South are d.
rcctly responsible,
We have 10 language strong enough
to express our Indignation at tho men
who have brought the negro W to the
commission Of such awful crimes as arc
daily recorded against them, Sufficient
that there must be in the nature Of
things, O fearful retaliation ere long. K
such things continue there must be
war of races in the South, and should
such a calamity arise, it is not difficult
to conjecture the fate of the ignorant
and bcsottod negroes, who after all are
but mere tools in the hands of designing
men, Bergen On. j. Dem.
