Choice Of Evils.

When we took occasion few days since,
to compare the character and course OF the
colored members of the Legislature from
New Han over with those of tho two carpet
baggers, giving the former the benefit OF
tie comparison, we did not imagine that
any one would suppose We thereby endorsed
these members, or desired to curry favor
with them, or yet to justify or excuse the
illegal means used to elect either the black
or white members purporting to represent
this county. When we assert, as we do
with the approving voice of the respecta-
BILE white and black citizens of New Han
over. that Owen Birney, the colored Cor
oner elect, is by far the most respectable
and worthy person of the newly elected
county officers, we do not wish to be I'M
derstood as supporting his election, or be-
lieve he is the proper person to perform
the duties of the Office.
What we do say is, that the lew negroes
whom the white Radicals have allowed to
hold office, are superior in character and
talents to the carpet baggers holding SINH
lar positions, and have to much greater
degree the confidence and respect of the
old citizens of the State. "Our otfense
hath this extent-no more"
Our sympathy for the negroes of the
South has ever been active, and we have
never, except in cases of individual bad
conduct, said aught against them If there
is any real welfare in the future for this
race, either as citizens or laborers merely,
they will owe it to the kind offices of the
Southern whites. We feel as sure as We
do of anything yet to be accomplished, that
the present illegal State governments il
the South will be overthrown, and if uni
versal suffrage, limited suffrage, or dis
reimbursement of the negro, is finally de-
termined upon, it will rest upon the deci-
sion of the legal voters OF these States.
And when that decision is rendered, it will
depend mostly upon the blacks themselves
what it will De. At present it would be
easy to render a verdict in regard to the ne
groes of North Carolina.
In the meantime, as IL choice of evils, we
think the negroes are more to be preferred
than the miserable class Of whites who I'M
dertake to lead them.

Total.

One hundred and fifty -nine votes are all
that is necessary for election, and in the
above tables there are one hundred and
sixty electoral votes without counting one
OF the Southern States engaged in the re.
bellion. In the list of States given, every
one, save three in which State election
has been held in the last eighteen months
has gone Democratic. In all, the local
elections have exhibited great Democratic
gains, sufficient to insure the State for the
Democracy this Fall. We have not counted
Illinois in the list, bnt the delegates to the
Convention declared that there was no
doubt Pendleton could carry that State
II it would be certain for Pendleton, then,
it can be safely counted for Seymour and
Blair. In addition to this, the States Of
Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi are GER
tain to give Democratic majority with
any fair chance for voting this will give
"a more electoral votes and swell the Demo.
cratic column to 1874. But the Republicans
are laboring to exclude the votes of the
States of Virginia, Texas and Mississippi
by legislation in Congress. If the electoral
votes of these States are not counted, then
there will be in the Electoral College 294
votes, and 14S will be all that will be
necessary to elect. The Democracy can
then lose Ohio, and still secure majority
of the Electoral College, without counting
any from the South or, by carrying Ohio,
they can lose Missouri, Wisconsin and
Kansas, and still elect their ticket, without
receiving a vote from the South. There
Is, therefore, every reason for encourage.
ment to the Democracy, and the election
OF Seymour and Blair may be put down as
a certainty.

If we are living under Constitutions
Government and civil affairs are to be con-
Quoted lawfully, we do not think there
can be any doubt as to the legality of the
recent election held in this city. And
even under the decisions of the State Ju-
dietary, organized as it now is, we must
believe its validity would be pronounced.
This election was held in strict con-
tormlty with the charter of the city, as
amended by an ordinance of the Conven-
ton, requiring the Sheriff to hold the
election within fifteen days after the
organization of the State Government. -

voters as required by the Constitution, but

General BIair'S Letter.

In this State, in opposition to the negro
country in opposition to tho whole Radica
Moloch, the manly and clear statement oil
BLAIR will be accepted by every lover Of
the Constitution. In this letter our senti
ments are fully made bare to public gaze
They are the sentiments of the Intelligent
majority of the citizens of the Nation. Tc
elect our candidate, to send crushing ma
jority to the House, is for what we must
strive with our whole soul, strength and
mind. Congress, outside of every consti
tutional boundary, has nullifed the Exc
cutive and the Judiciary. The Executive,
the Judiciary and the popular branch >
must next year make null and void the in.
lqultous enactments of the Rump Con
gress. Let this be the tocsin of the com.
ing campaign. Let this be the clarion
sound throughout the land. A white coun-
try must have white legislatures. White
civilization must not be retarded by the
annexation of any barbarous and different
race.
The Senators and Representatives of the
Southern States lately returned to Con
gress. and that are to be sent there, re
ceive their authority, not from the free
white people, but from race of recently
emancipated slaves, aided by an "infa-
nous Congress-" All Judicial and consti-
tutional barriers have been torn down, and
a mongrel code to aid them in their wicked
designs has been framed. White civiliza-
ton must be kept down by blacks. and by
set of men who seek nothing but politi-
cal positions, and barter thereby their
own title to manhood, to honesty and
honor. This, all this, must be nullifed.
This IS THE REAL AND ONLY QUESTION
WHICH WE SHOULD ALLOW TO CONTROL Us.
The whole body of Radical cormorants,
now feeding on the half-stifed ana dis.
eased body of the nation, must be annihi-
lated, completely wiped out-politically
killed. The insolent dogs must be
taught that they are not, and never will
be, "our political masters" They 'eat up
the revenues and resources Of the Govern.

The Germans a nd the Democratic Nominees
A very largely attended meeting of the
general committee of the German Demo
cratic Union party of New York was held
on Tuesday evening. Oswald Ottendorfer,
Esq, editor of the Stddts- Zeitung presided;
A. Gottmann, Esq, secretary. After brief
speeches the following resolutions were
adopted
Resoloed, That we heartily endorse the nomina-
tons OF the Democratic National Convention and
that we sh IL do all in our power to secure the
election of Horatio Seymour, the foremost man in
the ranks of the Democracy Of the Empire State,
and Of Francis Preston Blair, the brave and gifted
warrior of the Union.
ResOlUed, That we consider perfect under
standing to exist between the platform of the De-
mocracy adopted at the last Convention and the
principles Of the nominees, and we are satisfied
that their election will rid the people of the bur
dens and woes which have befallen them since a
corrupt Radical party has taken charge exclusive
~ Of the national affairs.
Res0Iced, That in our sincere belief a continue
ton of the prevalence of the Radical party must
unavoidably lead to the ruin of the credit and
welfare OF the country and its happiness and pro-
gress, ana that we consider it an imperative duty
TO put an end to Republicanism for ali time to
come.
The reporter for the. .Staats- Zeitung at
tended the National Convention, and was
the most out-spoken States-lights man we
saw in New York. We hope he will get his
first choice for President one Of these days.

ment and destroy it's credit" They do
more. They not only plumber the Govern
ment, but they plumber eyerybody-widow
and orphan, manned soldier and sailor,
homeless and friendless. They cannot,
they will not, stand. Down with the ty-
rants. Down with the traitors. Down
with the whole ugly breed. This must be
the issue. We must succeed. Unless we
have this, there is nothing else that gives
"dignity, honor, or value to the struggle"
