MEMPHIS, Sept. 2o.-The Conservative Re.
publican campaign for Mississippi opened at
Corinth on Saturday by speeches from Judge
Dent Colonel Inge, and General Robert Low
ry. The latter is the candidate for the Attor-
ney Generalship.
Judge Dent commenced by saying there
were two parties At present in Mississippi,
one was known as the "Bi ter-euders- or ex-
tremists, the other the National Republican
Union party. To the latter he belonged. and
from that party be had received the distin-
guished honor Of being placed at the head
of the ticket, and been chosen their standard
bearer in the present campaign. The one
party, led by TNrbsll, Ames, Alcern Il Co,
wanted TO disfranchise the white people. while
the party ne belonged to were in favor of
universal suffrage and amnesty. Addressing
the colored people, about one hundred and
fifty OF whom Were present, he said he would
antagonistic 10 the people OF the South, among
whom they had 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 II was through their efforts the
colored race had procured Its freedom. Sach
was not the fact, as Gen. Grant and mauy
other distinguished soldiers aud statesmen had
declared that il was only a circumsuance of
war; that il was never intended TO give the
colored man his freedom until it became a war
Of necessity; neither was il intended TO give
them the right TO vote until 1t became q politi.
cal necessity in the work of reconstruction
He contended that they need not thank the
people Of the North tor the right and privileges
they enjoyed. He urged them to beware OF
the party of which Tarbell, Gen. Ames. Alcorn
and Company were the leaders: but to loiu
their fortunes with trne Southern men. who
would protect them in their rights. Ii was
only by doing so that their race could be
perpetuated. IL they failed to Join those who
loved and really understood them, they would
drift away like the Indian to the frontier of
civilization. and in few years entirely dis
appear. All Ames, Tartell and Company
wanted was office; that was all their pretended
patriotism consisted OF. After they got all they
wanted, through the votes of the colored men,
they would turn around and mock at their c1.
lamity. They belonged to the proscriptionists
and would deprive them of all the rights il il
would serve their purpose. Therefore he
urged them TO support those who would pro.
tect them In their rights.
He closed his address by calling on those as
sembled to support the men who were IN favor
Of peace throughout Mississippi and the entire
country, and who were in favor Of equal rights
to all.
