To the Colored Voters.

We make IA predic ton for the benefit
of colored voters, and advise them to-
make Il note of it. They have been|
told over and often-what is the truth
that the Democrats, the intellectual
and wealthy masses, are their truestI
and best friends, and that their best
policy and plain duty is to unite with
them in the effort to save the govern
ment. The present low price of cotton|
and the not unreasonable assumption
that the staple will never go higher,
suggest to the rejecting mind ii state]
of affairs greatly altered from that now
existing, wherein the negroes may be-
compelled to labor even for subsis-
tence. They must then, of stern ne
cessity, look to the white population
for succor. There is, also, abroad "a
disposition, with which VIC arc not sure
some Republicans do not sympa thize,
to modify the franchise laws, in any
change of which now the negroes will
he the greatest losers.
Now what we predict is just this:
Should the colored people OF Louisiana,
lin spite Of all the well-meant efforts of
the whites to the contrary, throw their
Influence and ballots for the Radicals,
they may prepare to give up then and
forever all hope Of being maintained
in their electoral equality-their voting
privilege-by the white people.
While they are free, absolutely free,
to vote as they choose; so the whites
will be perfectly free to cut loose from
them for all time, if at this juncture
they are so short-sighted as not to
clinch the whites by aid and support
which in honor and fact would bind the
whites to maintain in law their right
to vote indefinitely.
There is so much human nature in
this view of the present and prospective
relations Of the whites and blacks, that
lit would be time thrown away to ex-
plain the idea we have advanced. In
all seriousness-and confessing that
1.-The colorcd man may now win OF lose
our feeble support in the crisis which
which is certain to come upon him
we drop this hint in time, that the
colored people who read the TELE-
GRAPH may not be ignorant of the
golden opportunity now offered them
Ito make strong friends who cannot and
will not desert them.

Presenting Too Much.

We are told mighty things, by the
New Orleans Republican, concerning
the Congressional career of Col. l.. A.
Sheldon who wrongfully represents
the End district in Congress. He alone,
lit seems, prevented Congress from re-
|ducing the tariff on sugar to merely
nominal figure, and for this he is highly
laudcd blythe Republican. 1t is.a fact
of which We happen to have personal
Knowledge, that Col. Sheldon had the
aid and support Of Democrats in the
House, of ten times his intellectual
|calibrc, in the effort to give a few thou
sand of the dollars to Louisiana, of
(which the protcctionists, on iron, salt,
coffee. steel, etc, robbed them by the
tens of thousands. And if the Repub-
Ilican will be honest enough to tell the
whole truth about Col. Sheldon's con-
|gressional record, it will inform its
headers that the Colonel worked man
fully with these protectionists to keep
the tariff up, and, consequently, the
poor Negroes wages doeen. We doubt
If he ever made better paying invest
|nent than that of his advocacy of the
sugar interests.
Lot the Republican inform its readers
when and where Col. Sheldon made
any effort, and consistently stood by it.,
to reduce the present abomniable tariff.
That is the style of congressman the
farmers and laborcrs of this country
require.
