nOuuced " worse than a crime" The
only way to success in anything is in
following the guiding star OF sound
and established principles. And We
believe the chief cause Of DENTS de-
feat IN Mississippi is the utter disgust

of the whites, not only by the selec-
ton of the cu didates, but also by the
erection or the negro platform, which

not inconsiderable number of intelli-

pressed the feeling Of utter disgust
with the concessions and party man
ageulent of their leaders and told us
they should not vote. Such men have
been lost to the DENT party, so far

Intelligent and conservative men as

a CORRESPONDENT in the Se0Tey
Ark Record Of Saturday is out in
favor Of what he terms the Memphis
and Fort Smith Intermediate Rail-
road, which, he says, if constructed
by a bend north from Madison and
continuation on the high ground
through the White river bottom and
on an airline from White river via
NOrristOwn to Fort Smith, will only
be 240 miles long as compared with
the present projected and partly built
line, which is 300 miles long.
He says this intermediate Railroad is
necessary 10 the prosperity OF the peO-
pie Of North Arkansas; that it is prac-
ticable because it can be built; and
that it will be built because it is the
pivot on which the commercial great
ness of Memphis viii turn. He also
says that the various roads ~centering
at Little Rock, connected as she soon
must be with New Orleans, will give
the latter city numerous advantages
over Memphis. He then advises that
to c0unteract these, Memphis must
not only cross the Cairo and Fulton
but must bind herself with iron
ties with the Northwest. Moth
ing than this could be more
conclusive Of the crying necessity that
exists for the earliest possible compile
ton Of the Little Rock Railroad. Had
il been, as il should have been, fir
ished years ago, we should have not
only been millions better of, but we
should not now be compelled to re-
port suggestions that may shortly be
warmed into life in the shape Of a
sixty miles shorter and better located
railroad to Fort Smith than that
which has dragged its slow length
for fifteen years.

DECLINES

MEMPHIS, November 50, 1869.
Editors Appedt:-I have been fire.
quently suggested by correspondents
of the city papers as a suitable person
to represent Shelby county in the
approaching Constitutional Conven-
ton. l am sincerely grateful to the
unknown friends VINO have so kindly
mentioned my name in connection
with that Office. But having resolved,
after mature deliberatIOn, to decline
that distinction, l think it is due to
my friends to make known my deter
minatiOn not to be a candidate.
WM. II. STEPHENS.
While, from the above, it seems Mr..
STEPHENS has determined not to run
as a candidate, we trust he will not
refuse to serve if elected. We deny
the right of a citizen to refuse the
service of the State, when called
thereto by the voice Of his fellow
citizens, and when, without serious
injury to himself or family, it is in
his power to render essential service
to the public. We know Mr.. STE
PHENs to be both eminently worthy
and well qualified, and we demand
his service in case Of his election.
The people will take care Of that.

enough not TO claim the whole glory.
The cause lay deeper than this-in
the absurd political platform and Sc
lection of candidates. 1t was in the
same unwillingness to consent to
negro domination which exists in
Tennessee, a consent which
many whites in that State could
not be brought to give. So, We
suppose it turns out, that ALCORN is
Governor with his ninety thousand
black savages st his back, when in
stead, SHARKEY might have been
Governor on the avOwal Of a respecta-
BILE platform of principles, and with
the then TO be expected perfect union
and influence of the white race.
Whether the result Of ADCoRN's cleo
ton viii be worse than that of DENT
would be remains TO be seen. ALCoRN
has both the ambition and sense nee
essary TO make q fair Governor, and
we hope his election viii prove less
disastrous than some anticipate. A
conservative legislature may check
mate him, and we hope that may be
elected. His veto cannot originate
measures. But whatever may result,
we say that little was to have been ex-
pectod from self degradation. of
whites. To condemn the APPEAL
for refusing support to the
Mississippi platform Of universal suf-
frage would be to condemn it for going
against negro suffrage in Tennessee,
and for Withholding earnest support
to a platform and candidates which
ought never to have been introduced
and selected. If a resident of that
State, we had rather suffer defeat in
Mississippi, than bind ourselves in
honor to a black platform, and thus
furnish the argument of promises,
pledges and obligations, which, if per-
manently observed, would prove hurt
full to the State. We should have
been compelled to act under protest if
voted Dr. acted at all. 1t may have
been unfortunate for the DENT party
as such, that the anti-negrO suffrage
Tennesseeans and the Memphis APP
PEAL and Ledger were such near
nGighbOrs. But Wetrusti it will be no
great disaster to the State that one of
two negro suffrage men has been
chosen instead of the other. Univer-
sal suffrage, so called, is a curse so dire
that they who attempt to fix it on
any State will have no right to con-
denim other people. Only those
without sin" should cast the first
stone. If the DENTparty has fallen,
it is the selfdegradation of negroism
which has destroyed it. When its
leaders learn to go with pure candid
ates and clean hands before the peo-
pie we trust they will have better for
tune.

WE have hitherto affirmed that po-
Itical equality would ultimately, if
not Immediately result in social equal
ity. You cannot look on a political
campaign without seeing practical il
Illustrations in the manner of associa-
tioHs Of candidates and their friends
with the negroes. If the right to
vote is permanently conceded, we can
see no sufficient reason why il is not
TO be expected that the right to hold
Office win be also conceded. If ne
groes vote they will elect negroes to
office, either by their numerical power
or by arrangements and compromises
made with candidates. What then?
When negroes are thus placed in
power, when they have Office and
place, when they become Magistrates,
Aldermen, Judges, Legislators, Con-
stables, Clerks and SheriffS, will they
not ut once rank higher as citizens?
Without being one whit more intelli-
gent or nor honest, will they not at
