white race of the South, to organize eve
rywhere. If they had pursued this poll
cy before registering took place, and be
fore the elections held for convention, ii
is more than probable, that few OF no con
ventions would have been held We are
aware, that the most potent reason for
their not organizing was, the fear OF doing
anything which would bring about an an.
togonism of races III the South. The in
terest, as well as the peace of both races.
required that they should live in harmony
together But this precaution is now at
al end Radical emissares have been sent
through the South, supported by large
contributions of money from the North, to
organize, by secret associations, the black
race against the white. 1t is done. We
cannot undo it; and are, therefore, com,
PEELED to organize, also in selfdctence.
Fortunately, the great question of negro
suprcmaty in the South, is not q question
affecting the South only. 1t is as wide as
the Union of the United States, and the
constitution itself, by which alone, this
Union exists. The people OF the North, in
every city, village and hamlct-inhahiting
their mountain sides, or rich valleys
driving their factories or ploughng their
fields, are equally interested. The wild
cries of revolution, which are now heard
in the walls of the capitol at Washington,
demanding negro supremacy at the South,
also cries aloud for fierce despotism over
the North, by the overthrow of the con-
stitution. None Of its sacred guarantees,
stand in their way The powers Of the
legislature in Congress, is i'll the hands OF
a secret tyrannical caucus. The powers
of the executive, and Of the judiciary, are
to be destroyed; and the army Of the
United States is to be used, by a congress
sional dictator, to carry out their dcspotic
bclcsts by the swcrd. Thus, the whole
srnclurc Of the Government of the Uni
ted States Unon,-the Constitu
tion,-and all the great principles OF free
government, it establishes, are involved in
the suibjection of the white race OF the
South, to NEGRO domination.
The Northern people, are everywhere
arousing themselves for the great and Vi
tai conflict. Docs it become toe white
race of the South to be passive: Here, its
first terrible strife and ruin, is to be real
ized. We arc the immediate victims Of
its tvrannical experiments. We will par.
ticipa,c with the North in the loss Of all
liberty; and the foul dcspotism which
will he spread over the Whole of the Cni-
ted States; but the immediate practical
effects of negro rule, will be peculiarly
ouls. The whole property of the South
crn States, will be put into the hands of
negroes, to he disposed of according to
ticii discretion. Those who OWN noprop-
tv, are to liy all taxes on property. The
Justice of the country, is to he admins
tered by negro judges and ne@rc juries-
the police of the country-and, its militia,
to he regulated, so as to administer to ne
gro interests and negro supremacy and
the white race will thus be forced To fight
out their sclfprotection, or leave the co'n-
try.
Now, with such momentous issues be-
fore the white people Of the Sontll,-can
they with ony safety, any longer postpone
organizing themselves for the protection
of their lives, liberties and country?
The condition of things throughout the
United States, clearly Indicate what kind
of organization they should establish. 1t
ought to be in unison and association with
the great party at the North, which is
contending Ill the same great cause
Whether called Conservatives or Demo
Gratis, makes no great difference. The
principles avowcd by this great party at
the North, are undoubtedly those ot the
Democratic party of the United States.
They demand limited Federal Govern
mcnt at Washington. They require the
existence of the States, with all their re-
served rights under the constitution. They
resist consolidation, and the dcspotism it
inevitably establishes and they insist on
the preservation and pcrpctuatlon of the
free government, they have inherited from
their ancestors. We, of the white race OF
the South, should he in close and cores
ponding association with this great party.
Our policy in the South, should be large
ly regulated by theirs in the North. 10
know their policy, and to know our own
to act together with them, and to obtain
common triumph over our common enc
mies-(the enemies of om race and of free
government in the worldly we must organ
iizc associations orcubs all over the South.
