forget former cnmities and vote with
their employers, whose interest Is
identified with their own. The carpet
bag Office seekers, who sprOut up in
our midst like poisonous mushrooms,
are busy in tanning the flames Of negro
~insolence and brutal hate to a white
heat. We will never have peace be-
tween the two races so long as there
are dirty Radical Office seekers in our
midst, to incite violence, enmity and
bloodshed. To secure Office, they
would fill every Southern community
with enmity and hate, and
pollute all the sanctities of
the social and domestic life.
The Radical leaders well know that
for good and sufficient reason, they
are cordially detested by every patri-
otto and honorable man in the South.
Traitors to the firesideS, the peace and
the rights of our people, degraded in
their own estimation, outlaws from
the sympathy and the respect of the
whites, the political allies and asso-
ciates Of negIOes, with no present but
one of scorn and contempt and no
future but one of inflmy and moral
outlawry, they are social and political
desperadoes turned loose in the bo-
som of our Southern society. Hating,
| with all the venom of base and
sordid natures, the white race,
from whose cOmpanionship and
ranks they have fallen, they thirst
for vengeance against the white
men as the hyena thirsts for blood or
the wolf for prey. As they cannot
hope to rise from the great deep Of.
infamy into which they have descend
cd, their ruling passion and animating
purpose is TO drag Others down 10 their
own level. The venial and the morally
degraded, like themselves, they pros
elyte TO their ranks by the bribery of
Office given or a promotion promised.
BUtthe true and the loyal, who on
stitute an overwhelming majority Of
our population, and who scorn alike
their brides and their doctrines, are,
for that very reason, objects Of their
peculiar hatred and aversion. Against
these, therefore, the Radicals, to
crafty their vengeance and to soothe
their disappointment inaugurate a
mode Of social and political warfare
Infamous beyond all parallel in the
history OF this or any other country.
The blacks are mendaciOus, immoral,
revengeful, and malleable as wax in
the hands of the knaves, who use
them for their selfish purposes. Is it
not a shameful sight-enough to
arouse the long pent-up vengeance of
the white men of the South, to see
a dirty and unprincipled adventurer
melting the negro to enmity and hate
toward his former master and present
employers. If the Radicals succeed in
the present canvass, this great evil
will be prolonged. So long as there is
an unprincipIed Radical office-seeker
in our midstt to stir up strife and incite
the negro to enmity, there will be no
peace between the races Weary of
strife, our people long for tranquility.
This can be secured only by expelling
from power the authors of all trouble
between the whites and the blacks.
The peaceful power of the ballot-box
can put an end to this war Of races.
If u people, on Thursday next, will
arise in the majesty of their strength
and crush out the authors Of all
mischief we will hereafter have
peace. Should the Radicals
triumph in the approaching
election, they will be encouraged
to renewed zeal, commence reorgani-
zing their party, and tanning into a
new flame the expiring ember5 Of
former feuds. When the issue is one
Of discord or peace, every man in the
county should come forward and vote
for peace. Defeat Radicalism on
Thursday next, and it will be forever
dead. Elect Radicals on Thursday
next, and it will be rejuvenated, and
We will still have an unworthy gang
in our midst, stirring up strife, and
urging the negro TO enmity and hate
toward his white employer, and we
will never have that peace and good
understanding which should exist be-
tween dependant races, and which is
50 essential to the prosperity and hap
pineSs of both.
