Tcxsrso TacT-The Baltimore Amer
iosa has turned tact and gone back upsn
the newly enfrsnehised. II has discoy.
cred that black suffrage in this Stste has
proven an 'elemcnt of weakness 20 the
Radical cause. We have no doubt that
it now heartily wishes that the whole
black race vas back again into slavery,
shcrn alike both Of civil and political
rights. We protest in advance against
the new programme Of the Anscrieun and
its friends. The black man is more val
liable 10 Us as freeman than de ever was
as slave. His freedom, therefore, VIC
mean to maintain against all eomers. As
we gave him his civil rights for good and
sufficient reasons. for the same reasons we
mean also to maintain these. And we
positively cannot afford to part with black
suffrage. The radicals, without intend
ing to do us favor. have placed a big
stick in our hands and VIC propose before
We get through to make them feel the
weight ofit. Look out. gentlemen. for
this big stick in the coming Presidential
election? But will wonders never cease
Shall we live to behold radical.sm. af.er
all its professions Of love and regard for
the black race, turn tact and foat TO the
breeze the banner of straightout white
mans party? The present out-eroppings
of the American look very like it But
turn tact as they may, float what they
will, it will still be the same old coon. and
the democracy will be found ready and
able. when that aforesaid dog-gone ami
mile" comes ou. of his new hole, TO deal
with him as he deserves.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-We regret to learn
that Mrs. NJ. l.. Key, residing at Cedar
Point in the Factory district of our coun-
ty. lost her barn. granery and corn house,
with valuable farming implements, pro-
vender, etc., by fire on Thursday morn
ing last. Mr.. John Crookshanks, a ten
ant of Mrs. Key, was. also, heavy loser,
having over two hundred barrels Of corn
consumed by the fire. A valuable bug
gy, belonging to gentleman visiting at
Mrs. Key, was also destroyed. Thnre was
an insurance, We learn, of $1,000 on the
barn, but the loss to Mrs Key is very Sc
we're notwithstanding. The fire was un-
doubtedly the work of an inccndiary.-
Three parties have been arrested and
lodged in our Jail, two upon suspicion of
being the incendiarics, and one as a wit
ness. The names of the suspected parties
are Nelson Forrest and Charles Butler,
both colored. The witness is boy, about
II years of age, named George Cowart,
also colored. We have thought it best,
for the present, not to give currency to
the rumors afloat in regard to the accused
parties or to the reported revelations of
the boy, Cowart. The parties in nisfor-
tune have our sincerest sympathies in the
heavy loss they have sustained.

PoLIrrcAL AsPERIrIEs.-Somc of the
republican speakers who participated in
the political discussions of the late canvass
have complained that several of our DEM
ocratic speakers allowed themselves 70 in
dulge in aspcrities of expression and per-
sonality of illusion that were unusual in and
unsuitcd to decent controversy. Ofcourse.
if the facts are as stated and the law of
fair retaliation did not apply, We have moth
ing to say in defence ofthe parties charged
with thus offending against good TASTE
But the complaint does not stop here
The people of the county have been ar
raigned for inviting Northern men to buy
their lands and then turning upon and
abusing them for their northern birth and
opinions. Now, We have many Northern
men settled in cur community, and we
have yet to hear of the first case of dis
courteous treatment in our county of any
one Of them because Of his birth or opin-
ions. 1t is neither the birth nor the opin-
ions of this class that have excited the i'll
will of our people, but the aggressive in
ter-meddling of comparative strangers
with our politics, SIN brief. if any body
has been rudcly treated, it is neither. the
Northern Radical mechanic nor the North
crn Radical farmer, but the Northern Rad
ical politician who has made war upon our
social habits, our educational and other
systems. and our political conduct
Northern men who have settled here and
who have been content to mind their own
business. who have not sought to excite
hurtful and dangerous divisions among
our people. to tax and rule us through the
instrumcntality of an unlcttered and land
less class, have been treated with as much
kindness, as much neighborly regard, as
we treat one another 1t is only the
Northern Radical politician who has been
differently treated. ani differently treated
he will continue to be.
