The Election.

Next Thursday is election day. The
importance of this election can scarce
ly be over-estimated. More depends
upon its decision than has been involv-
ed in any ballot since the passage OF
the ordinance of secession. The most
vita! principle involved is universal
sugrage. If universal suffrage pre-
walls, peace will be restored to 1.-THE
country, the people will again be pros
porous, happy and contented, and God
will once more smile on this beautiful
land of ours. But if it is defeated,
another reign of terror will he inaugu-
rated, because it will be necessary to
perpetuate the supremacy of Radical
ism If they have been unscrupulous
in the past, they would be more SO in
the future. If the people have been
taxed to death, traduced and annoyed,
they would be doubly taxed, and al
most manacled, If the STOKES party
should get control of the State govern
ment. With such. ISSUES at stake,
it becomes the imperative duty of eve.
ry man entitled to vote under the law
to come forward GU the day of election
and cast it for universal suffrage. In
press upon the, colored voters the fact
that they are voting alone either for
the acknowledgements or disfranchise-
ment of the white people. And that
his political status will not be changed,
in the event the conservatives again
have control of the law making power
That all the rights he has obtained
will he accorded him for all time.

The colored People.

Since the close of the war the cOlored
people of this county have been array
ed against the whites. At almost eve
nv election they have voted in solid
phalanx against the best interests of
people upon whom they are entirely
dependent for the means of obtaining
the very necessaries of life. Attribut-
ing this in a great measure to ignor-
ance, the white people have exercised
a charity toward their black depend
ents scarcely paralleled. They believ-
ed that the blacks were controlled by
body ofwhite men, and held the lat
ter responsible for the evil effects of the
negroes action. But there is an end
of all human patience and charity, and
it will soon come iftbe blacks continue
to give aid and comfort'to the enemies
of the white people in this county.
The blacks have the privilege Of
choosing between two candidates for
Governor, both Of whom are Republic
cans, and whose antecedents are thor
oughly committed to all measures in
tended by that party for the benefit of
the colored people. The only issue
that divides them is the question of the
erstorotion of the franchise to those
now denied IFS privileges. And yet it
is thought that the negro vote will be
almost a unit for STOKES. The colored
voter has only TO decide whether he
will vote for the enfranchisement of
the men who furnish him land to till,
and houses 10 live in; who loan him
money to cultivate his crop, and who
defend him against danger; or for their
Acknowledgement If he wants the
white people TO remain his friends, he
has only to vote for the universal SUI.
frage candidates But if they intend
TO vote for STOKES and partial suffrage,
they can claim and expect the friend
ship of the whites no longer. They
may expect that their former masters,
instead of letting them grow rich off
their soil, will turn them over to the
tender mercies of their friends across
the Ohio, and try John Chinaman
awhile. Let the colored man reason
with himself

The Return Of SOutbePnerS from
Brazil.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
At the close of the rebellion a con-
siderable number of Southerners,
shrinking from the dreaded consequent
ces of the triumph of the federal gov
eminent, organized colonizing eXpedi-
tons from Mobile, Charleston,
Baltimore and New York-where they
were joined by certain Northern
emigrants-to Brazil. In the Brazilian
empire the Southerners hoped to find
i'm the existence of negro slavery a
guarantee for something like the adj
vantages which they used to claim in
behalf of their own "peeuliar institu-
tom before it had been destroyed by
the war. They had not the slightest
idea that negro equality, as well as
negro slavery, was possible in Brazil.
Moreover, they had been misled by
glowing descriptions of the prodigious
fertility of Brazilian soil and the mex
haustible wealth of Brazilian diamonds,
and they were not aware of what an
inc ffcctualstruggleh had been maintained
for centuries by civilized man against
the overpowering force of nature in that
strange land. The pitiful story of
their disappointment was recounteu
in Yesterdays Herald, and lsoannoun-
ced the return of the survivors of these
Inflated expeditions to Brazil. The
last ofthe home sick American colonists
arrived i'm New York on Sunday even
ing, ON board the United States steam
frigate Guerrero, from Rio Janeiro.
The Northerners among them are
satisfied that thisi H. q better country
for immipratiou than for emigration
and the Southerners are now ready to
prefer their old homes, with all the
drawbacks of negro emancipation and
negro suffrage, to the state of society
and TO poverty and death in Brazil,
Notwithstanding its negro slavery
(which cannot last forever, its surplus
of vegetable and animal life and its
flashing diamonds. They agree that,
after all, the United States will do to
live and die i'm. The most te.hpting
offers on the part of the Emperor of
Brazil will not tempt them 10 emigrate
again.

Johnson VS.. Grant.

How very respectable the administers
ton of Mr.. ANDREW Johnson appears
in the light shed back upon it by the
administration OF Mr. Ulysses S. Grant,
has now become a trite observation.
But there is something extremely re
freshing in reading the language in
which Mr.. Johnson, in recent con
versation, uttered his sentiments:
/ know Grant thoroughly. | had
ample opportunity to study him when
| was President, and | am convinced
he is the greatest farce that was ever
thrust upon a people. Why, the little
fellow, excuse me for using the expires
sion, but can't help plying him-the
little fellow had nothing in him. He
hasn't single idea. He has no policy,
10 conception of what the country
requires. He don't understood the
philosophy of single great question,
and is completely lost in trying to I'M
derstand his position. He is menda-
cious, cunning and treacherous. He
lied to me fagrantly, by God, and |
convicted him by my whole Cabinet;
but that even would have been toleFa-
bic were it the only instance, butt was
not. He lied on many other oc ,asions.
/ tell you, sir, Grant is nothing more
than a bundle of petty spites, iealousies
and resentments. And yet they say
Grant is a second Washington. Just
look at the man sitting at q Cabinet
council. He has no idea, no policy,
no standard, no creed, no faith. How
can he guide the People? How can he
impress any great improvements or
moral ideas upon the nation? He has
no object to look forward to, no leading
aim to draw the peope towards any
particular end. He sits there with his
Cabinet. One member has bought him
a house in Philadelphia, another has
given him S65,000, another has given
him a carriage, and so on. 1t is dis
grazing to the office of President of the
United States to have such man
there World.

Struggle for the Monopoly Ofthe SOnth-
ern COOlie Trade.

The struggle for the monopoly of the
Southern coolie or Chinese labor trade
has already begun. The agent of one
company left last week in the steamer
for San Francisco, and another was to
have left Memphis the xtday, on the
same GRAND, by way of the Union
Pacific Railroad-the latter with cash
capital and letters of credit sufficient to
purchase gang of one thousand coolies
for labor in the Southern cotton fields.
This is new avenue of commercial
enterprise opened to our gO>ahead
fellow citizens. The wonder is that the
traffic was not long since commenced
by the defendants of the original YAM
kee slave-tradcrs i'm some seaport town
in Massachusetts, like Salem, for
example, which has the credit of hav-
ing carried on an extensive business in
the niger trade line in the earlier days
of this .celebratel republic" One of
the agents above mentioned expected
to take his ship load of coolies and
return by sea around Cape Horn or the
Cape of Good Hope direct to New Or
leans, where the living freight, or the
surviving members thereof, will be
shipped up the Red river into the inte-
rior of Arkansas; and have nice time
of it during their natural lives on the
plantations in that delightful section.
This is trade, therefore, the New
England shipowners can engage in
without sOiling their irreprOachable
on the negro issue. 1t
would, we have no dOub., lie a safe
speculation for some of them TO tele-
graph to captains of their ships now i'm
the Chinese waters to abandon the idea
of loading with return cargoes of tea,
silks, cassia, satinwood, fire crackers,
and so ON, and fill their ships with
cargoes of human flesh, all alive and
and carry them direct to the
where the market is high,
purchasers plenty and the cash ready.
Thus will the struggle for the monopoly
of the Southern cOolie trade he fairly
between the defendants of
the original Yankee slave traders, the
original Southern slave drivers and
Dutchmen with uOpronounceable
names.

Hon. ". b. Stokes, NdshrHc, Ten
pCsScC:
My DEAR SIR am III receipt of
your letter relating to The political
contest in Tennessee.
am greatly interested i'll your sue
cess-believing that the future political
character and general prosperity of the
State depend largely upon the contin-
uance of the Republican party in
power.
1t is quite likely that Mr.. Senter is
receiving the support ofmembers of the
Republican party, but it is certain that
he is also receiving the unanimous
support of the enemies of the Republic
can party; the enemies of the Congress
ional plan OF Reconstruction, and of
the principles embodied in the Four
teenth and Fifteenth Amendments to
the Constitution of the United States.
The interests of the loyal people Of
Tennessee, both white and black,
especially the interests of the black
people, are to he promoted, and the
rights of all are 10 be made secure by
your SUCCESS. The platform of the
party is not so good an indication of
their purpose as can be obtained from
a knowledge of the political character
and opinions of the men who control
the party. am sure that you, and
those who are supporting you in Ten
nessee, will sustain the principles of the
Republican party, but we have no
right to expect that those who for eight
years have opposed the government
and resisted measures for its reconst.uc.
ton, are now to yield cheerful support
to the Republican party.
Very truly yours,
