The Radioal PARTY

The large attendance on Saturday clearly
evidences the life, activity and cohesive pow.
er of the ruling party. From all parts Of the
county the colorcd people aocked to Wulhalla,
leaving the plow and hoe idle and the field
and crop at the mercy of the green king. The
diffusion of education and general intelligence
is the only sure remedy for this evil. When
the negro can read and understand for him.

cunning and selfish motives of his present ad-
visers. He will learn that his friendship is

aud is moulded to suit the interest of the in.
teligcnt few, who arc daily plundcring him
aud the State When enlightenment comes,
it will be as breath in the nostrils, and the
negro will rise up, seeking personal and race
preferment. Tho chain will then be broken,
aud Israel will reclaim its own. The out
groupings of this spirit already appear in the
meetings held in Charleston last week. The
negro does not ask, but demands, share in
the rich spoIs hitherto enjoyed by white rcn.
egades. He demands tho Office of lieutenant
governor, one senator and two Representatives
in Congress-, and fair proportion of the
State officers This spirit may be crushed
down for time, but it will rise agnn. Its

knell of the radical party. We can hear of
