THE SENATORIAL NEGRO FARCE AND
HUMBUG.
Foon1 the Savannah (GG.) RepVb lean.
The radical party is living lie. There is
nothing honest or truthful in it. 1t was
conceived, brought forth, and exists and
breathes in a moral atmosphere of deception
and fraud. 1t is neither true to the country
nor to anybody. 1t knows only power and
plunder, and to achieve and retain these it is
prepared to discard every moral obligation
recognized among men. 1t hesitates at no
injustice and scruples at no falsehood to
accomplish its ends. 1t misrepresents itself,
its motives, and its plans, and perpetuates its
reign of tyranny over twelve millions of peo-
Pile whom it should recognize and treat as
brethren of the same blood and political
family, by the grossest aspersions and
libels upon their conduct. They could
not maintain themselves before even o
perverted public Judgment, and excuse their
outrages and wrongs, except by making their
victims appear what they know them not to
be. We need no further illustration of this
fact than the present system of misrepresen-
tation and downright lying that has been
regularly organized and conducted by subsi-
died agents throughout the South. They
send forth men commissioned to bear false
witness against their neighbor, and Office
holders throughout the South are pressed into
their wicked service, and on the penalty of
decapitation forced to testify to what they
know to be false and espouse a cause which
in their hearts they despise. Ninety nine
hundredths of them being educated in the
school of easy virtue where the Northern mind
receives its principles and its training, yield
a prompt, if reluctant, acquiescence to the
| iniquitous demand. 1t is in this way that the
most arbitrary oppressive, and corrupt fac
ton that the world has known in any age
prolongs its foul domination over the Ameri-
! can people.
But the wrongs of the radical party toward
! white men, their own race, are as nothing in
point of fagrancy when compared with the
systematic, cold-blooded, and devilish con.
spiracy which they have organized against
the poor ignorant blacks. Here they have
weak and yielding material and they delight
to operate on it. Under the false pretext OF
giving the Southern slave his freedom an6
accomplishing work of humanity, they de-
liberately set on foot plan first TO use the
unsuspecting race for their own benefit SC
long as it exists, and, secondly, to haster
with all possible speed the day of its extinc
tion. They needed the negro vote
to keep themselves in power, fol
their e&cesses and villainies had shocked
all civilized mankind and doomed then
to early obFcurity; and they need tn,
Southern soil, titled by the negro, for thei
own surplus and dangerous population: hence
the double purpose of the heartless anG
iniquitous plot. The first step in their game
was to incite Jealousy distrust, ill-will ant
war of races in the South, aud no stone wa
left unturned in order TO effect this object

children of the South have not been massa
cred in cold blood and tho entire African
race cut down in retaliation IL has beel
owing solely to the good sense Of the latte
and their conscious inadequaCy to such
struggle. The damnable plot failed, not onl
in its intended scenes of horror, but in grea
measure in the political gains of the conspiracy
Even thepoornegro, ignorant and unsuspectin
as he is, has seen through the thin veil tina
conceals the real objects of his new-foun
friends He sees trickery, sefshness, ant
the most heariless Indifference to his rea
welfare lurking beneath all their profession
of interest and friendship, and day by day hi
eyes are opening 10 his danger and the onl
mode of escape. The race are growing wiser
and we trust, in time to save them from
wretched fate.
The last act in this drama Of duplicity am
fraud finds it's theatre on the floor of tn
United States Senate. Through the agenc
of fraudulent election conducted under tn
direction of Federal bayonets, two individual

the man who held those bayonets in his ow
hands, and boastingly proclaimed before th
election that they should triumph at whateve
cost. He is too, an alien to the people of tina
State, and IN no wise identified with them
The other is an Ohio negro, who, driven fror

against common honesty and law, drifted dow
