CORRESPONDENCE.



The South is becoming more healthy for the
negro If he is a democrat. If not, nos.
1n New Orleans the white nau's party have
orgapized four clubs Of colored democrats, and
the chvalry look upon them us men and brothers.
Alta white mans party" meeting there the
other day. six negro orators made speeches,
brace Of which are reported In the N. o. papers.
There is nothing remarkable In these speeches,
except that they are about as good as all ether
democratic barrangues. About every other line
contains a dash sandwiched between two DIS, or a
G. and d. But then democratic speeches are
repletc with similar cabalistlc words
The '.wbite mans party listened attentivcly,
except when the speakers were interrupted with
"ihunders OF applause"-wh goes to show
that negro has one right Ito be dsmocrat)
which white mans party" does respect.
The first speaker is announced, in the report,
rs " Mr.. Pennywit, negro"
Mr.. P. said, "Gentlemen and friends-I feel
that am justified in using that Phrase Here
the white mans party greeted him with cheers.
1t made the white mans pariy's heart rejoice
to know that they were Mr.. Pennywit's friends.
They would not have known 1t II any one else
had told them.
II mir. p. had been colored Union man, speak,
ing for Grant, il Is morally certain that he would
have been greeted with chasrs instead OF checrs. :"
II am DID democratic negro" said Mr.. r.
This confession caused the white mans party to
ysll Bully for you!" Mr.. P. had sense enough
Ia know that IL he had said he was Re
publican negro, 1t would nothave teen so "Bully"
for him, that he would soon be a dead negro,--
" one vote less" as Southern paper would term
It,
Mr.. P. announced that he was agoin' to die
| with the democrats" More cheers from the
white mans parry. If Mr.. p. is determined In
this, he will bid farewell to things mundane early
| in The fall, as that is the period the Democratic
pariy's lease of life will expire. But then perhaps
it is better for MIR. Pennywit, negro" TO be a
rebel, and die Nth the democratic party 10 the
fall than is be loyal colored man and die BY the
democratic parry before fall.
Mr.. P. also Informed his audience that it was
not the Republican party that freed his race, but
the South The white mans party in this
ueighborhood don't agree with Mr.. T. on thai
poiut. The democratic party Abolitionists
Nev-a-r-r-r
MIR. P. called the Union men carpet-baggers
sca.lywags. and all other hard names not in ID,
Diciionary--all except "Seymour democrats
and concluded amidst great applause
We think Penny-Uit is another name Tor scally
rag.
Speaker No. was Mr.. Willis Rollins, ne
gro.' Mr. r. was introduced by the Presiden
of the :. white mans party" and received with
"wiid cheer whatever that is. Had Mr.. h.
negro, been Grant man, he would have been re
ceivcd 10y pack of wild rebels and kn kluxes
who would have made it rather lively for Mr.. h
1t appears Mr. Rollins was more in dread of losin
his lite than Mr. pennywit, for he endcayored I
paciiy the white mans party by filling his speec
J with words made up OF dashes, and the term
: "scallywags." carpet-baggers" Radical pups,
aud So iurth.
/. | He succeeded, and was cheered Justify.
An 50 you will perceive II negro is a demo
crat, he Il considered :" "A man and brother b
: the "white mans party in the South, and don
, smell at ALL"
Ii moi, the South is very unhealthy place IL
the negro, aud he carries dreadful stencil abol
/ him Your SOUTHERN CoRREsroSpENT.
