,een called upon to decorate the
raves of their dead, that her col
,red slain would not have been ne
.lected. But SO it is. These men
now sleeping their last sleep have
rendered all that may be got out oil
them, and a hypocritical sentiment
has nothing to bestow npon their
memories. The insidious doctrine
that the emancipated black is the
particular charge of a Radical
government, is a falsity from begin
ming to end, and is made use OF by
designing incendiaries for bad and
selfish purposes. The LoUIs1ANIAN
thue alludes to tho decoration:
IF any event in the whole his
tory of our connection with the late
war embodied more features of dis
graceful neglect, on the part of the
Union whites, or exhibited more
clearly the necessity of protecting
ourselves from insult, than this be-
havior at Arlington Heights, we at
least acknowledge ignorance of it,
We say again that no good, but on
| ly harm can result from keeping up
the recollection of the bitter strife
and bloodshed between North and
| South: and worse still, in furnish
ing occasion to white Unionists OF
proving their hypocrisy towards the
negro in the very presence of oul
lead"
We are glad to see this position
taken by such men as Pinchback

A DELUSIvE HOPE.

The democracy has abandoned
all hope of success upon the merits
of its original platform, and though
it is not quite ready for the ''new
departure," it is not unready for
such alliances as viii tend to break
down its opponents.
There seems to be unusual ac-
tivity among democrats, not in
organizing and consolidating Their
party, but in misleading their weak
kneed enemies by promises which
they intend to keep to the ear while
they break them to the hope.
1t is delusive hope on botl
sides. The democracy is lost if il
depends upon its own principles
and any republican is lost who
allows the democracy to mislead
him.

THE SOUTHERN PLATFORM.

The Vice President of the South
ern Confedcracy has followed the
examples of his chief by defining
anew his opinion of the Vallandig-
ham "new departure" fraud. and
,leclares'in quite as positive terms
his resolution to resist to the bitter
end the 18th and 18th amendments
to tie Constitution, the legislation
based upon and designed to enforce
them, and indeed all the reconstruc-
ton measures Of Congress. He has
recently published, in an Augusta
Ca paper, a statement of his
views upon these measures, in
which, after arraigning the Repub-
lican party for tyranny and out
rageous perfdy" towards the South,
and their leaders as "Jacobins with
ont conscience or consistency" he
pronounces all the reconstruction
acts of Congress to be "unconstitu-
tional, fraudulent, and void" except
the 18th amendment to the Consti-
tuition.
The 14th and 18th amendments
are, in his opinion, no part of the
Constitution, because they had been
adopted "by force and fraud.
Though he is strongly in favor OF
declaring the 18th amendment null
and void, and believes it will be
done, he affects to believe that the
ballot would never be taken from
negro. But Of that he does not seem
very confident. But whether negro
suffrage should continue or not is a
question that belongs conclusively
with the States, and is one with
which Congress has no right to in
terfere. Nor does the question
whether the colored man would be
DISTINGUISHED in that case "lesscn
the duty of all lovers Of constitu-
tional liberty to oppose the 18th
amendment"
It will be seen from this brief re-
caYisulation OF Mr.. Stephens opin.

R@rIn another part of our paper
will be found AN article from the
Shreveport South Hcfern under
the caption Native Colored Senti-
ment." We would be willing To-
remit TO time the settling of al
"past differences and the removal Of
present preiudices,' if We could dis
cover any disposition on the part of
the bulk of our past oppressors and
our present political adversaries. to
acquiescc in trial OF the expert
ment. We are not unmindtnl Of
the barriers" or the remonstrances
of a cultivated and therefore
superior race. On the contrary it is
the knowledge of the strength of
this opposition which has driven us
into, and keeps us in combinations
which under less embarrassing cir
.cumstances we would repudiate.
From the democracy which sets out
with TIE fundamental error that we
are necessarily On inferior race we
can expect but little. But we would
be glad to even ignore this consid-
GRAFTON, if We really saw any
disposition on its part to con-
cede to rs "the enjoyment of
every constitutional right All of
what our contemporary calls ''anti-
pathy to the race whom he former
" served" springs from the differ
ence between their and our utter
nreiation of what we deserve" If
we could arrive at q point OF agree
ment on this matter, we should hail
it as indeed evidencing the COM
mencement OF an era OF better feel
ing between the races in the South.
