Negro Common Sense.

When negroes are left to themselves, and
are not under the phrengy excited by the
hypocritical orations of the WILSON'S,
WELLsEs, and HUNNIcUTTs, they readily
perceive the true nature of their condition,
and the influences by which adventurers
and scalawags are endesvoring to use them
for selfish purposes. AS specimens of the
honest and straightforward views Of saga
cious negroes who had watched the course
of these unprincipled and selfish whites,
wepublish this morning two capital speeches
delivered by negro speakers in New Or
leans. They viii be found most truthful.
They track the carpet baggers to their very
holes and from the preparations that are
going on, we imagine that the next process
will be. to ".twist them out" This is the
fashion of boys and negroes in the South.
When hare is run into hollow tree, a
hickory pole is cut, and one end split and
spEntered. This end is passed in until it
reaches the hare, and being entangled in the
fur, and twisted at the same time, hold is
gotten upon him 80 strong that he is drawn
ont by it This is the way that the negro
will draw out the earpet-bagger: rascal
who has SO used and abused him that
revenge for his hypocrisy and perfdy will
be sweet to the African. The negro is fit
for everything but the office the carpet
Dagger wants, Look st pr, BAYNE-so
pftea beaten by 0arpet'baggers and negroes,
