The Political Campaign-.-Radical Prospects

Ihoy have discovered thcir great weakness

whom thoy relied upon as their right arm Of
power, have become disgnstcd, and proclaim
that tho white radical is q croatcr enemy to
them than the white rebels who were lately
sheir masters. Tho most Intelligent blacks,
therefore, have determined 10 join bands will,
their old ma:tecs, aud thus drive away the
earpet-bag adyenlurers from thc South 10 their

Several s'irewd Republicans who havo just
returned from different parts Of the South ad-
mft that Sambo has turned tho tsbley upo,
lhcm completely, and now !hcit only hope of
success is in tho North. This last hope seems
not to havo Il very firm hold of them either,
Judging by the manner in which they write
to their friends in this city. Tho corrcspoo-
denoe sont here from different States in tho
East aud West, by radical stunrpcrs and man
ayers, is of the most dcspondng character.
They admit that Pennsylvania, Indiana aud
Ohio axe lost TO Grant and Colr,x beyoad re.

gcst efforts are made TO save IL. J.ogan's
defeat as Congressman at large from the State
is spoken of as certain, but the electoral ticket,
it is urged, may be carried by clever engin-
eering. Ino most sauguine Republican I
hayc seen here f'om Co!faa's State, only ti,-
arcs up Republican majority of 5000 in
Indiana. This Republican is Quo of the most
shrcwd and influential politicians in the State
Of Indiana. Tn fact, the impression is worry
general hero now that Seymour and Blair will
be elected by very decisive majority, not on
account of any grcat popularity of thoir own
bu; because tho people Of Che country arc do

arc thousands, nay, millions, who arc under
the grossest bondage TO thcir vioos-s bor-
cage infinitely more corrupting than one OF
Nero sorvitudo. And what may be gaid of
England, in this regard, is almos. equally
applicable to Amcrioa. The uogro who has
bcen freed from tho bonds of physical scrvi-
tude Is, in nine oases out Of ten, less free than
he was before his emancipation was declared.
Ills habits have become worse his health is
not so good, his wants are not 50 we'll proyi-
dod sor, and beyond all else, he has become
Inc slave 10 selfish and corrupt party de,ns-
Gogues, who make him the instrument Of
plunder, and, rs far as possible, the shield of
sho.r own corruption.
Now in the present canvass the white Con.
soryatlves of the South, who arc the neigh
bors and must be tho employers Of the negroes
when the rule of the earpet-baggers eud--as
ena II must within p very limited period
have endoavcrod to convince the negroes that
TO them thoy must look for their true oufrun
oh'scment-for tho ratification OF evory priv
'iose bcyoad equal protection to lilo aud
property. In the North, whore the Rsiicals
nave 6eeu in power, they have not extended
to the few negroes who reside among Them
the privilege Of impartial suffrage; if they
have giycn it in the South, it was an act of
:raud, intended merely to servo tlrsir own
bsse ends.
we will not pretend to say that The white
people Of tho South are very much better than
the white people Of tho North, but .hey cor
tanly aro more reliable than the carpct-bag-
gors, aud tho immun:tios which they grant
tho negroes Will be forsvcrgrantcd. Tho
course which the Southern whites are to adopt
toward the blacks must be an honost one -
NO people or party can with impunity sacrifice
honesty tor the purpose of securing political
victory. Let the negroes understand that
tho wh'to, are empowered by the late Rad
lonl amendment to the Constitution Of the
un.tcd States to restrict negro suffrage, aud
ti' extent to which that provision will be
co'orcd people during the existing canvas, 5 or
up to tho time wllcu She white pcople will
aga;n have control OF their own affairs, and
onjoy to the full their rights of ,clf-govcrn-

1t is probable that thore will be restrictions
on suffrage, but il 50, they vii! bo framed in
spirit Of sound craftsmanship, and will be
enforced without distinction Of color White
and black men who commit grave offences,
and arc scnt to tho pcnitcntiary will no. be

is useless to cling to deusiye hopes and con-

discussed pretty fully here among the members
