mon feeling Of the negro masses Here and
there you may meet an exception, but the great
majority of the race are fierce and aggressive In
their temper. They speak the sentiment Of
the sections of Paris, and the man who shuts
his eyes to what is impending in the South is
dead to the teachings of the past and the pres

a Trap to Catch Voters.

We have repeatedly warned our readers
against the imposition which will be attempted
in the New Constitution, in the Homestead ex-
emption, of which Mister Porter is the author.
The object of this is plain 1t is trap to
catch the votes of foolish people who will ex-
pect by this means to escape from the clutch Of
creditors; but, the Porter plan cannot attain
the end. It mast fail IN the ve,y first Court IN
sotich the question Is argued, and the result will
be that he who supports the Constitution be-
cause of this feature in it, will find that he has
sold his State, himself and his children to the
Cuffeeites without even the shadow of an equiv
alent Let no man delude himself with the
foolish belief that the Convention can pass any
ordinance impairing the obligations of contracts
which the courts will enforce
He who acts under any such belief will show
himself both knave and fool.-NorfoM Nr.

Think Over It,

Our readers will remember, says the Norfolk
Vuganian, that on several occasions we have
pointed out the effect Of Grants order, which
allows any socalled Convention to appoint the
day on which the people shall vote on the Con
stitution which may be submitted to them. and
we now warn our Central Committee and our
local managers again that we have not a mo-
ment to lose in Virginia
The Convention which has been so long adorn-
ed by Hunnicutt, and Bayne, and Hodges, and
Underwood, and Bowdeii, and Porter, and
Thomas, once ferocious war member of the
Virginia Legislature, will soon disperse. The
carpet bags Of these illustrious citizens have al
ready been packed, their pocket-books have been
stuffed, and they are now prepared, like so
many buzzards around the bare bones of car
Let us be prepared for the issue. We have ev-
erything at stake, our honor, interests and pri-
vate fortunes depend on the result, and we
should remember the mournful lesson of the
battle Of Bothwelrs Brig. While the Cove
nanters remained undecided the enemy carried
the key to the position, and it was not until
they fell, in vain, disorganized resistance, that
they realized the monstrous blunder which they
themselves had committed. Let us all recog-
nize the fact that we live in the midst of a stu
pendous revolution; that events hurry forward
with prodigious velocity; and that he who fails
to participate in the conflict voluntarily aban-
dons every hope of good good government.

The Patriots.

Things have come to this pass: that ifit were
proved to certainty that Radical Southern
leader had stolen sheep and borne it Oft On his
back Or robbed hen roost. picked pocket,
or sacrilegiously stolen Bible from the altar OF
Cod his character, standing and influence with
his party would not be affected by it: 1t Is not
so certain that he would not thereby acquire
more consideration and influence. Where the
point of honor is outspoken, unblushing vlllalny,
the most honored man is the vilest. In the
olden time when men were aspirants to office,
the test propounded was are they honest, are
they capable, are they faithful to the Constitu-
ton. The time is at hand when this old test
will be reversed. The question will be, are they
dishonest, incapable and unfathful to the Con
stitution? The more completely they satisfy
these conditions the more imposing will be their
claims to office. This universal decentralization
is called by the high sounding names of patri-
otism and loyalty, and, in sooth, if unmeasured
and unreasonable corruption and ignorance con-
stitute patriotism, then the Radical party of the
South is band of the most precious patriots,
ignoramuses and cut-purses of the Empire"
that ever herded together to do villalny. 1t
has come to this: that white man who stands
by his race, speaks good English, tells the
truth and acts honestly is dealt with as an in
famous character He is disloyal and fit sub
ject for disfranchisement. and confscation.-

The Petersburg Lnder says that the depressed
tone Of the Southern press is frequently made
a subject of joke by those Northern Radical
journals which have waxed fat upon the pap Of
Government patronage.
We notice, too, that the prosy Congressional
debates are sometimes enlivened by a dismal
Radical joke, and the responsive cackle of the
Honorable ~ members is like the cracking of
thorns under the political cauldron
Though scattering fre-brands, arrows and
death, " they must still have their little jests.
If the theory of laughter which traces it to
seifconceit and sense of superiority be cor
rect, then the Radical should be the most hila-
rious animal on earth.
But nobody ever knew Radical who had a
good laugh. There is nothing unctuous and
humane about it-none of the casv-hearted
gleefulness of the uaemancipated negro in its
tone, nor the charming abandon which betrays
the trustful and hospitable soul.
The genuine Radical always has an axe to
grind, and the grating sound is mingled with
his ordinations, and falls harshly on the ear
1t has disagreeable metallic twang, as if pro-
duced by mechanical continuance and the
pulling of wires-there is no music in his souZ
Shakespeare, who knew everything, said of
such people that they are fit for treason, STRAIT
agems and spoils.
Incapable of anything like genuine fun and
jollity themselves, they are the mar-plots and
mar-ioys of the rest of mankind
And that accounts for the depressed tone of
the Southern press, and for that matter the de-
preston of the whole country.
IF the Radical could introduce his improve
ments into Heaven, the River of Life would be
made water-power, and the Tree of Life be
whitfield into toys and wooden nutmegs

Arouse to Action.

We reneat our admonition to the ConserVa-
tiyes. that they should be at work. There is no
time to be lost. When the Convention sha,,
adjourn It is probable that but little time Will
be allowed-the object Of the majority OF It's
members, looking to the interests OF the haol-
cal Marty will be to have the election as soon as
possible after the adjournment OF the Conven-
tion. The Conservatives should not postpone
action till after the adjournment OF the Conven-
t;on. They should take time by the torelock'
and 90 at once to work. Speakers should De
amounted, and should enter at once upon Vlg-
orous canvass. All that we hold dear Will DC a'
stake. Every man should do his duty There
should be no drones in the Conservative hlVe'
The "Old North State" is acting noby, ana
setting an example which our good state would
do well TO follow. "In that gallant Old Com
monwealth, :" says the Norfolk Varg'''ian, her
sons are moving forward to the rescue OF her IN
terests and her honor in three solid columns
which sweep her territory from east to west with
a fire of irresistible eloquence. 1t is grand
spectacle to see her hoary-headed patriots, her
mature statesmen, and her youthful orators dedl-
eating themselves to the service OF their State
with an unselfsh and heroic devotion which Is
above all praise. From her mountain gorges
down to her spreading coast, from her centre to
her uttermost boundaries, her children are work
ing with head and heart for her salvation. 1t
is sublime spectacle Each day two hundred
noble speeches, noble in sentiment, noble In de-
sign, noble in pluck, and noble in unselfish de-
yotion, are made within her borders. The
fiery cross is borne aloft within her borders by
the swiftest runners of her Clans, and from high
land and lowland they rally to the rescue. We
repeat, it is sublime spectacle and the most
bitter Radical in Congress must admire the ne
roic force of the Anglo-Saxon spirit which gloWs
with such rare briliancy in so dark night as
that which now gathers over the orators OF
North Carolina. We accord them our admira-
ton and salute them with honest pride, from
Vance and Graham, and Ashe down to the
merest tyro among them all, and we say to the
people of Virginia that we should observe our
sister State and emulate her example Let the
Central Committee give the signal for the men
of Virginia to be up and doing, like the men of
the Old North State. 1t is time we were at
