The Freedmen.

The negrois working better and is
moro contented now than at any time
since his liberation from slavery
The Radicals will lay the fsttering
JUNCTION to their souls that they have
brought it all about, and that they
we're right in splitting tho blood OF
millions of white people to set free the
negro race. The truth of the matter
is. that the negroes work better and
grow prosperous in the worlds goods
in the proportion that they come i'm.
mediatcly under the direction and
control ofthe Southern whites. Judge
NICHOLSON, in his great speech in the
Constitutional Convention spoke the
feelings of the hearts ofall true South
erners, and especially of his owp,
Maury county, when his tend N-.
gard for the negro race prompted him
to stigmatize as monstrous crime The
turning loose of the slaves, without
cent or training to make q livelihood,
upon the charity ofthe world.
Since peace has been established iu
our State, the kindest relations have
sprang mp betweeD the whites
and blacks in our county. The
Leagues being abolished or neglected,
the negroes now recognize as their
best friends and benefactors the very
men whom the Radicals taught them
to believe were their direst enemies.
There is now no danger OF the Chi
nese ever becoming our laborers SO
long as the negroes works as dilligent-
ly ss they are now doing. Slavery
brought our negroes from state Of
and if freedom improves
them, they will ono day thank God
for the mysterious providence which
placed them in contact with the South
ern people.

Despite poverty, persecution, even TO

the country. the ministers have been
faithful to their VOWS, and the church
has steadily advanced. He refers to
the introduction of laymen III the

conduct OF the present generation
with the past. In this respect he ur-

against us. had steadily succeeded.
1t is now progressing, especially in
