to register and vote. At the last
election in sllis State, twenty thou
sand, onevthird of the entire white
vote of the State, were denied the
right of suffrage, while the elective
franchise Wrested from them by
the strong arm of military author
ity, was, by the same authority,
conferred upon more than eighty
thousand negroes, originally inn
ported from the Rilds of Africa,
and just emerged from two hun
dred years of slavery. Thus we
have seen established among us,
not universal. suffrage and negro
equality, but restricted suffrage
and negro supremacy. ...r .-.
What has been the result of this
most reckless and wicked expert
ment ? Has it been In any sense a
success ? This depends upon what
Congress intended to accomplish
by adopting this policy. IF it was
their purpose to PROSTATE all our
material. interests, to array one
half of our people against the
other hall, and, to use the strong
but not exaggerated Language of
Senator Doolittle, to "inaugurate
hells A" in every one of these States,
then have they achieved a COM
plete success, and well may they
congratulate themselves upon the
result. But if it was really their
object to establish governments
capable Of securing the rights of
all, and affording protection in life,
liberty and property to every eiti-
zen, never was there a more disas-
trous failure. d - ....s
Our present State Government
presents a spectacle calculated to
excite no other feelings than those
of shame and disgust. The ascen-
dency of the negroes at the ballot
box has enabled them to elect the
Lieutenant. Governor and about
one-haf of the Legislature oftheir
own race, and q large number OF
reckless and unprincipled adven-
turers from other States, who have
no home or interest here, and are
entire strangers to our laws, man
ners, and customs. These two
Glasses have obtained the absolute
control Of the, State. Government
in all its departments, and have
inaugurateda a system Of proAigaoy,
bribery, and open and shameless
corruption that we hope, for the
honor Of human nature, is without
a parallel. tntQ Faaasaal.n na@ .G
These men seem to labor but for
two objects: to nerpetuate their

have increased and, in most in

Der Of the negroes, though natural
ly a quiet and peaceable race, ex-
cited BY the infamatory appeals
to their worst passions from white
men of the most de9Fayed and
abandoned character, and elated
| by their sudden elevation TO power,
have become idle, turbulent and
lawless impatient of contradiction,
tolerating no discussion of their
newly acquired rights, with no idea
of strength except in its physical
development, and no conception
of power except as displayed in
brute force, they are ever ready to
resort to of convincing their Oppo-
neuts. Is it surprising the club
and torch as the readiest means
that the white man often answers
these arguments in the only way
suited to the capacity of those who
offer them ? Thus, almost daily
we hear of collisions, of bloodshed,
of riots actually occurring, and OF
still greater dangers threatened.
Doubtless these reports are often
greatly exaggerated but it is not
to be denied that there are fire.
quent collisions between the races,
and that the public mind is In such
a condition as constantly to en-
danger puplic peace. In this state
of things the Governor of the State

who are entitled to it shall be reg

shall be afforded to those thus

deprived aOf these clear and un-'
questionable rights, the responsi-
bility for the consequence that
may follow so glaring an outrage
must fall upon those who thus vio-
late and trample upon the laws
