We stole a part Of the Radical plat
form and some Of their people, and
then they turned around and stole our
whole concern. What fools we were
to try to beat Yankees and niggers at

From the Meridian Mercury.
Let every decent white man con-
slider himself sworn as Hamilcar
swOre his son to eternal enmity against
the Romans, that the white mans
flag" shall be upheld, and be resolved
hencelorth that every consequence Of
the oath shall be visited upon the
heads Of carpetbaggers and scalaways.
From the Iuka Gazette.
We hope our people understand pre-
cisely how parties stand in this State,
and will know how to govern them
selves in the future. Nothing will
ever serve US but an unspOtted con-
servatism, and we are Tor organizing
at once such a party; and when we
speak OF Conservatism, we allude to
no mOngrel organization, but one well
defined and clearly Independent of
Badicalism in any form, shape, color
or tendency, and with that let US sink
or swim. Let US be moderate, but
firm and unfaltering in the right. and
a bright future with ultimate success
must be Our reward.
From the election returns received,
it appears that nearly every county in
the State has voted Radical, and many
persons seem greatly ast0nished at
the result, and do not know how TO
account for it.. To Us, nothing looks
palmer. We have only to glance at
the vote Of T~ishOmingO, and then the
solution Is as plain as any problem in
Euclid. Here We have near 1000 white
voters; out Of this number we had
between 100 and 1900 cast on last
Tuesday and Wednesday.
Thus the Gazette accounts for the
defeat Of the Dent party.

or spear Of eloquence, or sword Of ar

COlored men went to the polls as a
body, led by their drill sergeants;
they voted as a body, and were only
discharged upon parole when the
days work OF Radicalism was done.
From the West Point Herald.
= The offers Of cOmpro-
mise and Cancellation rendered to the
blacks, which they lave 80 signaliy
refused, forbid Us to rODos such
terms a second time. These offers of
peace must now come from them. BY
"A great sacrifice Of lifelong ~princiDles
we gave TO the cOlored people a plat
form which they had declared would
receive their support. We placed at
the head OF ticket a ma who had
always been their friend, tried and
true. Aud IN order that the negroes
should have no III Of complaint.
and that they might have a represent

interests, we placed upon the Con-

The result OF the election shows that
they did not wish to act with Us, and
opposed US as q race.
Recognizing the fact that universal
suffrage is the law of the land, still we
can see no security this side Of a white
mans government. In the organiza-
ton Of the best government the world
ever seen, we cannot e many
pr~e5erVatINe elements. Signs of dpca-
.ence, decomposition and death are
everywhere visible. 1t will require a
thorough renovation Of every depart
ment to get the machinery in proper
working order, and it is now doubt
