q InthisWe stand npon our record as op-
posed to the RECORD Of the; party Of which
the Chronicle is q Tnouthpiece. The South
at the close or the war cheerfuHy abolished t
slavery; making valid by her votes the con-

him with the hope that Life of Incidence
might be his, and that ballots were more
than bread and butter, he was indisposed
to work. Political meetings were crowded,
while the corn died and the cotton was
-choted with weeds. The negro. was led to
believe that the whole country and its full
ness was the property Of his people, and
when q negro convention framed an organic
LAW for white men, and a negro legislature
assembled in the capital of the State, the
CUP of Joy was full to overaowing. The
negro had the ballot, and used it so as to
hoist foreign adyenturers and native rene
oades into Office, and elected as the repre-
sentatives Of the physical force which titled
