When It is said that the Uni
versity is the exclusive property
of the higher classes (meaning
the whites,) five admit no classes
ourselves,) for the education of
their sons, a large majority 1.-THE
negroes) Of this State don't see it.
When it is said If you open the
doors of the University to the
sons of all the people Of this
State, the white people won't
go there, we answer that
that consideration does not weigh
with us a feather. We haze
passed the time when false pride
and baseless distinctions Of equal
ity have any force with us.
When in addition to this, it is
said that the professors would
not continue to hold their situa'
tions If negroes were admitted tC
the University, we answer that il
is n matter of no consequence
whatever-get others, and if non'
others can be had, let the Univer
sity crumble into dust. Far bette
let it be n waste of bowling vii
derness, than remain a STANDING
blot upon the spirit Of the Consti
tuition and the advancing ciyiliza
ton of the present age and tn
coming future.
The effort TO impress upon tn
negro his inreriOrity on tie on

white people on the other, is Jart

ed in November last, shall hold as
representatives during the forty,
second Congress upon the certifi.
cate Of General Ames. In this way
1t is proposed to secure five Radi.
Gals in the next Congress.
In Texas, the legislature chosen
under military dictation has de,
signedly omitted to enact the ne.
cessary laws authorizing an cleo
ton, and has adjourned. No rep.
resentatives, therefore, will be
elected from that state this fall.
OF course the people are indig.
nant at this result, and it has been
proposed to hold an election with
out legal authority, but it would
be useless, because a Radical Con
gress would never recognize any
persons so elected.
It is easy to understand the
purpose which lies behind this
suppression Of election in three
states. 1t is simply to prevent
the election of fifteen democratic
representatives, who will surely
be chosen if the people Of those
states we're allowed to vote. It is
evident that the radical leaders
are alarmed at the prospect Of de-
feat in the various states, which
they see is in store for them in
the approaching elections, and
are determined TO use every
means, however interruptions, to
retain their majority IN the next
Congress.
