Congress blot out all these political
distinctions, as far as the State Gov
eTuments are concerned, and there
will be as enduring peace IN the
rebel states as there is IL Illinois.
The whole country is in:erested.In
good government in these states.
No good cause is subserved by sub.
IjectIng them to the mis- government
of political adventures or ignorant
and incompetent persons. The
freedom which permits a ma2 to
vote for whom he pleasos is a mock
cry, which would not be tolerated
in any Northern State. Yet that
IS the political freedom" which
has been granted to the South, and
which Senator Drake insists shall
be enforced by the strong arm of
the military. It is made a felony
for any man, not within ihe favor>
ed class, to accept any office, no
matter if elected thereto by the I'm.
anImous vote of the people. 1t is
made a felony TO induce any per-
son to vote for such a man. And
this is the freedom which a faction
in Congress insists that the Repub-
Iican voters of the United States
shall perpetuate.

"FOrty Acres and a MuIe.''

The following is an extract from
the speech of Henry Boyd, a color>
ed man, delivered at Carrollton,
Mississippi. He has been called the
"Black Demosthenese," and Is evI-
IDENTIFY a negro of good, hard sense.
"And now the carpet-baggers
come here and tell US they r our
friends and the Southern people our
enemies. They tell us they net us
free. Oh, yes; theirs Ben. Butler
set the spoons free, Immense
laughter and applause.1 They done
It all to help .be Yankee and to in
Jure the Southern man. They
can't fool this niger. l know who
brought the niger to this country
IN the first place. The Northern
men broughtus here, aud when they
began to lose money on the Niger
they put the niger IN their pocket
sold him down South; and then,
to keep the South in the Union TO
make her pay taxes, they turn
around and get the niggar and the
mules and spoons free; and they
would not have set any thing free;
(excepting the spoons) if they could
have got the South back into the
Union without 1t.
"They promise him the forty
acres and the mule / know five mig
gers that starved plum to death
waiting for that mule and forty
acres. Laughter.] I'd like to
know where the carpet-bagger got
his forty acresI You all know the
devil took the Lord up into a high
mountain and promised if he wo'd
fall down and serve him he'd give
him the whole world. and the old
scoundrel knew all the time he
didn't own a foot of land or the
continent. CGreat laughter.
"The carpet baggers ask me to
cast my vote to keep the white
folks down. Now all [ ever wants
ed was to get on a level with the
white nan. / never wanted to get
above him. They say that a mig
gar Is better than O white man in
Cincinnati. Well, that may be true
in Cincinnati, but it ain,t true
down here. 1t 10 my interest to
stand by the Southern man. and
It's my wish TO. Whatever law Is
made to affect the white mans PLAN
tatlon also affects my little cotton
patch in the same way.
"They want to dlsfranchise the
white man, and make the Niger
put them into Office, that they may
have taxes and things their own
way. They never would have
passed q law allowing niggcrs to
vote if they hadn't thought the nlg-
gers would vote the Republican
ticket. Never! never! Who be-
lIeves otherwise2 Not this niger,
certain. The Yankee brought the
niger here from Africa for selfish
purposes, set him free for selfish
purposes, ard now they want to
vote him for selfish purposes"
