"Tyrannv
Is far the worst of treasoDs.'
See the truculent, diabolical policy of the
radicals. They thought Mr.. johnson
would be plant tool, and would pander
to their villainy that he would pursue
more sanguinary course in Furnishing the
South than was enter tanned by his unfor-
tunate predecessor. But the man could
rise above the passions of the moment, and
could forget private revenge for the pub
lie good Not so with the revengeful and
tyrannous radicals. They knew we'll that
he who would attempt to steal their purse,
would steal trash, and he who would en-
deavor to rob them of their good name,
would labor to reach what they never had
and never will have. They called to their
aid the manumitted slaves of the South. In
this very one thing they lost the good opin-
ion of the white people of the North. The
idea Call the blacks of the ten States to
aid them Why did they do it They
were afraid of their O,0n people. They could
not be trusted. They would not stand by
them, and therefore, as matter of course,
an ignorant, emancipated race is called to
their assistance, and this, too, in violation
of the law of the land. Was there ever
such an insult offered to the people of any
country-to the people of the North :?
Was there ever in the history of any nation,
ancient or modern, so vindictive measure

is -odious. The very thought is prepos-
ferrous. The measure is the most mon

in the past will arise in tiercest might, in
the most imprisoned eloquence, to urge on

nation. From every section of the country
this prophetic voice is coming. Congress
knows it, feels it sees the thing is inevi-
table. It is too cowardly to recede; too
cowardly to advance. It is like the stupid
schoolboy that did know his lesson and
didn't know his lesson. But he'd be hanged
if he was going to know it any better.
Now the Democracy is going to teach it
better, and that this very year. White

0, let it be your most precious prize.
Keep it before you day and night, until a
sure and speedy triumph has crowned your
manly efforts. You struggle for civiliza-
ton the Radicals for degradation. You
struggle for the very essence of consti-
tional liberty the Radicals for the essence
of negro efeteness. You struggle to make
white labor respectable and honorable the
Radicals to ruin the white laboring GLASS;
and to make white labor disreputable and
dishonorable. You struggle to transmit to
your children the free institutions of your
fathers the Radicals to rob you of honor
itself, and send your name, as a by-word,
down to posterity. You struggle to follow
the dictates of your own conscience, in all
family matters, in educating your children,
and providing for their welfare tho Radi-
Gals, to supervise your dearest and most
sacred personal rights. You must pray as
they pray, and give forth the nasal twang.
You must reason as they reason, and say
good, good to their every argument. In a
word, you must be their slaves. ALI will
end in this, if you permit them to lead you.
The Election In south Carolina.
Abiding to the recent election in South
Carolina, the Columbia Phonir of the 10th
instant says:
| Here, the election on yesterday was supposed
to be decidedly favorable to the Democratic
party. Many Of the colored people are voting
with their Southern supporters and patrons. Our
people generally already exercising the priv-
llege of rcwarding those who sustain them, and
are not inclined to help on colored who is
Indifferent to the interests of his employer. Many
white men, and some of ladies, are finding ont
that they can themselves perform much of the
work that they formerly hired colored persons to
do.
From letter received from gentleman
of Columbia, by parties in this city, we
further learn that many of the white resi-
dents discharged numbers of negroes from
their employ who voted the Radical ticket.
thus showing conclusively and clearly to
this class that they will not patronize and
support those who defiantly work against
