Is IT YoU.-Radical friend, are you
the ran who proclaimed few years ago
that, whcnevsk the Republican party IA
vored Negro Suffrage you would leave
the party and vote and act with the
Opposition
Are you the man who charged your
neighbor with lying, because he claimed
that the Republican party would eventu-
ally make that issue, and called your God
to witness that, if it ever did you would
end your connection with it forever3
Yes, you are. Your neighbors and
friends believed you sincere.
BY this line of argument you induced
some of them to vote with you. The
time you referred to has arrived. What
do you propose to do !? If your love Of
country predominant over your political
prejudice, the time has come when you
will prove the sincerity of your words by
noble and magnanimous action. We
bide our time and await results. - Circle

Much interest is now felt In the

zion. What that desolated and
devasted section now needs are
both labor and capital. While the.

ther was required. The master had
q suf1ciency of land and negroes
to cultivate It. But when that In
stitution was destroyed By the war,
he was LEFT with Ais broad acres
with no one to till them. Instead
Of being 8 source 81 profit they
were q disadvantage. The inevita-
BILE tax collector made his annual
rounds, and the unproductiye lands
exhausted their owners pockets.

On Saturday evening, about
dark, 3 company Of Col0rsd men
met in the back partof town, end
were seen drilling ike soldiers and
going through the usual ev0lutiOns
Of military parade. The principal
officer was on horseback, and sew
eral wore the u. s. uniform.
This either means something or
nothing. In either case it should
be stopped. The white men who
do control this population co
easily In other respects, can con-
troll them ia this, and we put the
whole blame On them alone. We
want peace and harmony 60 pre-
vail among al classes but IL they
carelessly enyita strife ia the land,
we can but accept the situation.
This has been the persistent
course of the Radical paEtY in this
State ever SINCE its inception.
Military display and naturalization
seem to be q part of tho pro-
gramme. Muskets are carried %
the polls, to their club meetings
and even to public meetings IN
which they are invited 90 partici-
pate, If the military authorities
desire 10 preserve peace, this spirit
must be subdued, and such demon
suppressed. It is ia con-
tempt Of military regulations, as
well as ID violation 81 good order

duty Of the military authorities toI
preserve. Nqtcbitookas Isme.
