| 1t is more than foolish, it is absolutely criminal fol-
men to fold their hands at such crisis this, upor
the miserable pretext that they do not wish to be
mixed up in politics." This is the towards the
traitors plea for Sinking the fight when his country is
engaged in deadly struggle with an enemy. And what
an enemy is this combating! O:e whose sole
end and aim it is to enrich themselves with spoils
wrung alike from Southern labor and from Southern
capital. 1t is the duty and the interest well, of
every man to warn honest, though misguided freed
men against the arch designs of party whose every
principle is in deadly antagonism to their interests
It is the rich mans and the bondhoder's party 1t is
the party whose very existence depends upon taxes
ground from the laborers and consumers of the land
1t is party which occupies the anomalous position in
the South of dependence for upon the very
class against whose interests it is constantly aiming
death blow So far as the freedmen are concerned,
the only difference between The parties is that the
Democratic party is striving to protect labor against
the rich manufacturers of the North, while the Rad
cal party is warning for the interests of these men
who grow rich upon labor. Intelligent white men
know this but the carpetbaggers, by humbuggng and
blarneying the freedmen, enticng them into net
where they will be etfectualy, though more indi
recy robbed as one of the coored sharps about town
will rob them at three.card monte.

There seems to be another row in the Radical wig

day night the previous nominees were ncontnently
booted ont and new made. We had supposed
that Smothers and Bill Harper, though colored, we're
too genteel for association with the Radicals and our

We hope they are at last satisfied with the ticket,
and will keep the community in agony of doubt
to their next nominations. And we are disposed to
think that the matter will here rest, by little skill
full manipulation they have succeeded in getting two

A letter received last week from Capt. Slaughter,
who is now in Virgiaa that he fill all the
orders sent for Virginia negroes, provided the peo
pie here agree to give the negroes good terms. He
writes that there is strong tendency their part to
emigrate hither since they hear such good accounts
from those of their friends who have already settled
there. The money advanced by parties ordering the
hands will be refunded by the hands ont of their
wages. Capt Slaughter expects make his first ship
ment of negroes by the 10th of October. Labor is
very much needed and our people cannot do greater
good to themselves, and the country generally, than
by inducing it amongst US, and aid those who
are too poor to pay their way out by advancing
