The Hate of Negroes by the Radicals of the
NOrth-The Lancaster ImbrOglio.

| NOrth-The Lancas ster ImbroRlio.
We hear from thorough going, proml-
nent, energetic, and, We may say, truth
telling Radical of the press, who was at
| Lancaster at the date of the receipt OF Mr..
| Thaddeus Stevens mortal remains there,
| that the most forward man in demOnstra-
tive acts of repulsion of the negro guard OF
| this CITY was the leading Radical of Ian
caster county one who it is expected, will
receive the nomination of his party to sue
ceed Mr.. Stevens in Congress. We make
no doubt that chief reason that will be
urged for his nomination will be that of
his active hostility to our Washington Ne
gro Zouaves. He was anxious that they
should be sent home on the same night
that they arrived, so that the Radical farm
ers of Lancaster county should not have
the opportunity of setting eyes upon them
the next morning, (market day They did
see them, however, and almost stared their
eyes out at armed negroes, in piebale uni
form, in famous Radical community,
where nothing but the kicks and cuffs and
glbes and jeers of hard fate had ever fall
Ell to their lot. In the north suffrage is
denied them, and practically every other
civil right, except, perhaps, the shield of
the law IN some very aggravated cases of
damage to life, or any little property that
any of them may possibly have got to-
gether, under circumstances Of such
general i'll feeling that exist against
them among the Radicals of the
North, that almost precludes their &C
cumulation of property. The Radical party
of Chicago gave up the negroes to their
fate by abandoning the idea of giving them
suffrage in the Northern States. It tried
to make compensation for this cold repul-
sion of their negro allies at home by going
abroad into the South and giving the
whole negro race suffrage there, upon the
consideration, supposition, or assumption
that they would make eternal war upon the
prescribed and prosecuted white race, and
elect to Congress-, among other adventur-
ers, even the punitive Northern refugees
who were roaming in the South for pur-
poses of Office and plumber, and who had
left their homes to the Joy of good neigh
bOrhuods, who otherwise might have
& ''Perished, perchance, in some domestic feud,
Or i'll narrower sphere wild rapines path pur
sued"
The Radicals of the North, who have
their type at Lancaster, the great strong
hold Of Radicalism, in repulsion of negroes
politically and socially. expect the negroes
Of the South to lord it over whites there
and trample them down in blood if Radi-
cal party purposes should require the holo-
caust of whole communities of white vic
TINS, in order that their united and solid
electoral vote, in connection with that of
few class States of the North, may fovever
control the politics of the country in the
interests of the party of the corrupt, usurp-
ing, and revolutionary Rump Congress.

Horatio Seymour and the Democratic
Platform
Our London and provincial cotempora-
ries, without exception, as far as we can
see, do not know what to make of the en-
thuslastic and utterl y unexpected nomina-
ton of Governor Seymour and Gen. Frank
P. Blair, as the Democratic candidates for
President and Vice-President They seem
to think that Gen. Grants chances of sue
cess are increased rather than diminished
by this event, and that the Radical, revolu-
tionists, and negrophilists are about to per-
petuate their lease of power at the Novem-
Der election. The Times-no longer a
Thunderer, but Blunderer-leads the
way, and will doubtless continue, as it has
begun, to disparage and discountenance
Horatio Seymour and the Democratic plat
form, until it sees they are certain to win,
when it will turn round-as it so we'll knows
how to dc-and tell the gaping crowd that
it always predicted their success. We tell
all the misinformed English press-from
the big Times down to the little Pail Null
that the Democratic party-which never
would have. been defeated in 1861 on
the illomened election of Abraham Lin
coin. unless it had been divided and dis
missed, has made up all its differences );
that it forms the majority throughout the
Union ; that it will stand as true to itself
as Macedonian phalanX !; that Seymour,
its chosen standard-bearer, will carry all
before him and that Grant may either be
Mayor Of Galena or Lieut.. General of the
Army of the United States-whicheve he
choses-but not the President of the Uni
ted States, Or in any way the arbiter of
State policy.
The Radicals have had their day, and
done as much mischief as the country will
suffer. It is now the turn of the COnser-
vatives and Democrats-the only party
whose principles, old as the Constitution
and as sacred-are able to preserve the
Union without second civil war, and to
save it from the manifold evils which the
first has brought along with it. The time
is II pc for II reaction again the sham phi
losophers, and malignant philanthropists,
and niger -worshippers, like Ben Butler,
Wendell Phillips and Thaddeus Stevens,
and all the other charlatans and mounte
| banks who, untaugh hi and unwarned by the
| lessons of history sought to reproduce in
| the New World the villanies and horrors of
| the old, and 10 emulate to the extent of
their fangs and the volume of their venom,
the doings of Robespierre, st. Just, Cou-
thon, and other poisonous spawn of the
French Revolution. America has had more
than enough of such tormentors, and longs,
as Ireland did, in the olden day, for saint
like st. Patrick to make an end of them.
We fervently hope and implicitly believe
that st. Seymour will be the man to do it,
and that all the black snakes in question,
each with woolly head. will, at his blessed
advent, like the toads in the ballad, ''com-
NIT (politicaD suicide to save themselves
from slaughter.
Bribery and Coercion.
The Legislature passed one or two br'aena
fulnen bills about bribery and coercion,
sedition, rebellion, &c. The bills should
have been entitled, "Acts to prevent col
ored voters from voting for the Demo
Gratis" That was the object OF their pas
sage, and they will amount to nothing
No Conservative or Democrat will brlbe or
coerce voters, nor will they buy votes
