Coz. CoLYAR, in his opening speech
Mt Nashville, rs u candidate for Gov
crnor, expressed wish that some one
would give him name under which
to do battle against Radicalism. He
diSclaimed all connection with any
effort to form third party. One
wing of the opposition to the Radi-
Gals, says the term democratic "
must not be applied to them, because
they don't like it; another wing
makes the same objection to the term
"whig" and Conservative is term
not known in the vocabulary of the
Northern opposition to Radicalism.
In this confusion, growing out of old
prcjudices, Col. Colyar may well ask
for "a name to be inscribed upon his
banner. But since he declares him.
.clf In full sympathy with the great
democratic party of the North, Let
him assume its name-it is the com
plcxiou to which we must all come
and there is n fitness in the name
since it implies n government of the
people by the people, and is in strik'
ing contrast with Radicalism, which
is "a government in spite of the peo
Pile and opposed to their liberty ant
prosperity; and is, in fact, n corrupt
monicd aristocracy, Numerically op
posed to the genius of our institu

PARIS, Aug. ITO A. Mount
Palikao has officially announced
that he has received dispatches from
headquarters of the French army to
the effect that the Prussians yester-
day relinquished their attempts to in.
terrupt the line OF the French retreat
and prevent the junction of McMahon
and Bazaine.
The Prussian army under Prince
Frederick Charles, after repeated and
fruitless assaults upon the French
lines, have abandoned their attempts
to disrupt the French army and delay
its union.
The Prussians are now retreatinp
upon COmmercy, southwesterly from
Metz, after three or four sanguinary
and well contested battles. The Pru-
sian army has suffered serious
check in the efforts to pierce the
French center.
The new French army will be un-
der the sole command of Marshall
Bazaine, and will co operate with the
army of the Rhine, by which it is
ready to be supported. f,1 av,a II

and were repulsed. The Emperor is
at Chalons organizing troops. The
main army Is concentrated at Eldin,
II miles east of Verdun.
NEW YORK, Aug. If. Gorril-
ard telegraphs to the Courier Des
Etats that the battles of Sunday and
Monday were both fought between
Metz and Verdun; that these attacks,
however, did not check the retreat; on
the contrary, the Prussians sustained
so severe a reverse that they were
compelled to halt on their. victorious
march from the Moselle. He adds
that the check will enable Gen. Tro-
chu to reorganize a new army at
ChalOns, already numbering 2OO, 900
men. He complains that the Paris
authorities do not, however, confirm
all this news.

COOLIE LABOR.

We publish, to-day, letter from
IIoratio Seymour, TO the Labor Asso-
citation of Rochester, New York, on
the subject of Coolie labor, and ask
Eorit the careful attention of all who
wish to form correct opinion on
this grave question. The South, al
ready embarrassed with the social
and political troubles incident to u
proper adjustment of the forced rela-
tions of equality between the highest
and the lowest types of mankind, is
certainly in no condition to meet the
additional troubles that must follow
the presence of third type, coming
armed with all the authority of law,
to demand access to the ballot box
and admittance to the social circle.
Apart from the immediate troubles
inevitable upon the assemblage of
three races under one government, it
should be considered that the South
has no moral right to entail upon
future generations, the disgusting
consequences Of triple miscegena-
ton and degrading admiXture of
Christianity with African Hoodooism
and Chinese Idolworship. No man
who will take u calm and enlight-
encd view of such probable future
Er tire South, can hesitate to dis
courage the immigration OF any save
those Of our own race and to resolve
to make the most of the labor we
have and await, patiently, the sure
remedy which time has in store for
the ills of which we so justly COM
plain.
The great need of the South is not
TO get rid Of the negro, nor to intro.
duce the Chinese, but to get rid of the
vilainous government that makes
the negro worthless. With n wise
and democratic administration, we
contend that the negro would be the
best laborer, for the South, that can
be obtained from any quarter-at
least for those sections where the heat
of the sun and noxious exhalations
forbid the presence of any but the
thoroughly acclimated. When the
wealth of the South-a condition not
remote, with good govcrnment-shall
enable it to adopt a thorough system
of draining and levying, the negro
will cease to be an absolute necessity;
and rs he disappears, by the gradual
process of inevitable determination,
his place will be supplied by white
men and the South embrace, within
itself, every element of wealth and
power, and n population, purely eau
casior, with no drop OF African or
Mongolim blood in its veins and no
faint of heathenism upon its morals
and religion. ~
