that bitter radical General Terry saw that
order and security We're so seriously im.
perliled that Ia had to put a stop to It.
This was when the whites were disarmsd and
under the sharpest surveillance of military
power.
The meetings continued, aud the agitators
industriously poisoned the ear of the negro.
The work was complete. The negro learned
all the slang of the rabii fanatic as we'll as the
hypocritical Radicals When there was not
man in arms, not token of resistance any.
where, these negroes, in their meetings, were
calling the whites all ''rebels," claiming their
lands, and working submissively for their new
masters, the carpet. baggers and scalawags.
The result was there was a negro party in
Virginia, which elected white incompstents
aud scamps and ignorant negroes to make our
laws. The issue was forced upon the whites,
and it is It'll the issue. Our dearest rights
and most important interests depended UPON
it. 1t is question even beyond mere Rad-
calism. 1t is a question of having any gov
erDment fit to call a government-of having
any order, security, aud prosperity.
This is the true state OF the issue in Vir-
gnia. 1t is for white people to consider
and choose sides. But that man who sides
against his own white race upon such divi-
sion must be assuming his status for life.
Parties may change and men may change, but
the hue OF politics now put on by men who
desert their race can never be eifaced-never
be washed out

MilInrl Eilinnre.

From the ~ Y. Tribune
A very mysterious and thrilling question
has recently agitated the political world; aud,
although we cannot az present see how its au-
swer can possibly affect the result of the Pre-
sidenHal canvass. yet, tor the sake of fair
play, we are willing to state ali which we can
learn upon the exciting topic. 1t is pretty
certain, we believe, that Mr.. Millard Fillmore
is at present lending the influence of his vene-
rable name to the cause OF Blair aud Seymour,
nor does this in the least astonish us, for with
his often-avowed opinions, We do not see why
Mr.. Fillmore should Lot naturally gravitate
into that slough, though he has such a pro-
pensity for shifting his political quarters that
any new party starting between this
time and the election, and Offering him
nomination for the Presidency, would
probably secure his priceless co-Opera-
ton. Ii may be- considered, however, as set
tied that for the present Mr.. Millard Fillmore
is upon the side OF Blair and Seymour-a fact
which is of more importance to him than it is
to the public in general or the Democratic
party in particular. This, however, Is a trlf1e.
The main question now is whether Mr.. Fill
more ''has the gout p The World recently
asserted that he has it dreadtully. The same
journal now asserts that he never had it at
all He lis one of the most abstemous OF
men, His father was zone of the most ab-
stemious of men," Very abstemious men, it
is true, sometimes do have the gout; it has even
been known to sillict old ladies', and this fact
may have given rise to the rumor respecting
MIR. Fillmore, which, We are pleased to hear, is
without the least foundation. 1t may make
very little difference to mankind whether Nc.
Fillmore has the gOut or not, but it makes
a great difference to that gentleman himself;
for to join the Blair and Seymour party must,
under any circumstances, he great trial of
his stomach, and when that organ becomes
enfeebled, the gout is apt to fly to it with the
most disastrous resuls The country, how
ever, may now dismiss its apprehensons. 1t
has been suggested, it is true, that Mr.. Fill
more may have rheumatism, complaint so
like the gout that one is oiteutimes mistaken
for the other. II the Buffalo Courier eau
honestly assure us that Mr.. Fillmore is en-
tirely tree from rheumatlsm, and can truth
fully add that he has no symptoms of lum-
bagO society at large, we have reason to be-
lieve, will experience an immediate and tre-
mendOus relief.

The Democratic Appeal to the Pocket

From The ~ Y. Times.
There can be 40 objection to the earnest
ress or frequency with which Democratic
orators appeal to the pockets OF the people in
favor of reduced taxation and economy in ex-
penditures. The public mind has been so
debauched by habits of personal extravaganza,
that even dull times may have mpensating
advantages in their tendency to necessitate
thrift And the unavoidable lavishness of the
war period so diverted the attention of parties
from. the wise frugalty which best befts
republican government, that all just criticism
in the direction of diminished outlay deserves
to be welcomed. Only it should be just, or
the pretended remedy will be worse than the
disease.
And the prevalent Democratic criticism does
not happen to be Just. 1t is not honest or
candid. 1t perverts some facts and suppresses
others, rendering it impossible, with the data
furnished, TO form correct estimate Of the
case with which legislators and statesmen are
required to deal Even Mr.. PsndletOn is not
whelly exempt from the vice OF his party. In
