Tho Mississippi campaign opened in
Corinth, on Saturday, on the Conservative
Republican side, by speeches from Judge
Dent. Colonel Inge, aud General Robert
Lowery. candidate for Attorney General.
Judge Dent commenced by saying there
| were two parties at present in Mississippi.
| One was known as the "Bitter-erders,
or extremists, the other as the National
Republican Union Party. To the latter
he belonged, and from that party he had
received the distinguished honor of being
placed at the head Of the ticket, and had
bsen chosen their standard>bcarer in the
present campaign. The one party, led by
| Tarbell. Ames, Alcorn & Co., wanted to
| disfranchise the white people, while the
| party he belonged to was in favor of uni
| yersal suffrage and amnesty. Addressing
the colored people, about one hundred and
| fifty of whom were present, he said he
| would urge them in the strongest terms
not to be antagonistic to the people of the
| South, among whom they bad been raised.
He assured them the Southern men loved
them, and would protect them in their
| rights better than any stranger could do.
| He said many white men who came from
the North were constantly contending
that it was through their efforts the color
ed race had procured their, freedom. Such
was not the fact, as General Grant and
many other distinguished soldiers and
statesmen had declared that it was only 4
| circumstance of war: that it was never
! intended to give the colored man bis free
s
Neither wAxat intended to give them the
right to vote, until it became a political
necessity, in the work Of reconstruction
lie contepaled that they need not thank
the people Of the North for the rights and
privileges they enjoyed lie urged them
to beware of the party Of which Tarbell
General Amos, Alcorn L Co., were tht
leaders, but to join their fortunes with
true Southern men, who would protcc
them in their rights. 1t was only by
doing so that their race could be perpetu-
ated. If they failed to join those who
loved and really understood them, the.
would drift away like the Indians, to tn
frontier of civilization, and in n few year
entirely disappear. al Ames, Tarbeil
Co. wanted was Office. That was all ,hei
pretended patriotism consisted of. Afte
they got all they wanted, through tn
votes of colored men, they would tur
round and mock at their calamity. The
belonged to the rroseriptionists, an
would deprive them of all rights, if
would serve their purposes. Therefore b
urged them to support those who woui
protect thcnaSin their rights.
