"Slavery, the all-absorbing issue, has passed
away. The negro is free man, he is citi-
zen, he is voter. The various stages in the
journey from servitude to suffrage divided

Thousands of Republicans contended for each in

therefore nothing left of the negro question to
separate the honest Republican and the honest

any political organization, unless the Demos
cratic party proposes to disturb the settlement
of the negro question and to nullify the
terms which now exist"

MIR. GREELEY sauAsHEp.

"The best laid plans of mice and men,
are often disturbed by some unforeseen
event, or some trifing circumstance, there
by totally destroying ambitious designs
which never dreamed of difficulties.
For years Mr.. Greeley has been pulling
"gee" and "haw," endorsing the bail bond
of JEFF. Davis, first abusing, then prasiug
the Southern people, first favoring Ku-
Kluxing them, then Ku-Kluxing the Ku-
Klux, &c., &C., even down to telling what
he knows about farming.
He is now in Texas, and has viewed, in
passing, the banks of the grand Missis-
sippi, and can tell the people exactly how
to stop the mighty flow of waters, which
occasionally break forth from their channel
and 60 rushing on, carrying destruction in
their path. In fact he knows more than
any dozen men in the world, besides know
ing just how long man should be Pres-
dent.
With all his knowledge and political
shrewdness there is one thing he did not
know or anticipate or, knowing, he fall
ed to see its portance-that is that the
Richmond Dispatch was going to oppose
his election as President. This Is sngu-
lar, too, considering that for so many years
he has been the controlling man of one of
the leading newspapers of New York.
The Dispatch informs us that while Mr..
Greeley is honest and capable, the South
ern people can never be induced to vote
for him, and as the Dispatch constitutes
part of them, of course it will not sustain
him.
Go home, Mr.. Greeley; hang up your
hat on peg in one of the editorial rooms
of the Tribune, and be satisfied to know,
the edict has gone forth from the Dispatch
office, that you can never be President of
these United States Toddle!

To THE PUBLIC.

1t is desirable that newspapers, publish
ed in community of the Importance Of
Richmond, should be reliable and while
it is laudabe to put into them all the en-
terprise they can afford, we should be care
full to see that we do no injustice to any
one. Fair dealing on our part must win
the respect of our political adversaries--
no one apprecating this fact more highly
than we do, and earnestly desiring the re-
spect of the community with which we
have cast our fortunes, without sacrificing
principle I'VE wish to be unfair to no man,
and if it is possible to do so, shall conduct
our paper, keeping these facts in view.
Ours is principally political paper, de-
voted to the interests of the Republican
party, and when fight takes place be-
tween Democracy and the Republican
party, we must be looked for where we
properly belong on the side Of the latter.
1t must not be expected Of us to defend
all the members of our party, or to assail
individuals of the opposition, but we hold
ourselves in readiness to assal the fragrant
public acts of men whenever we believe it
to either the interest of our party or the
community to do so.
Men of like profession Of ourselves, re-
alize the difficulties which surround us at
times, while outsiders are ignorant, hence
the necessity of this article.
We are disposed to refer to publication
made in our paper during last week, but
shall not do so, as the matter has passed
and we are satisfied that we vindicated our
selves in the estimation of all who were
disposed to judge impartially.
This morning, both the Dispatch and
the Enquirer, contain in their local columns
denial Of our statement Of Friday last,
that Mr.. W. G. Freeman had declared that
he was not Democrat and in the most
emphatic manner denounced the party.
But for the similarity of the articles, satis-
lying us that they were prepared by the
same person and handed to each of the pa
pers, we might be inclined to believe there
was little newspaper strategy in them,
and that the words Conservative and
Democrat were not recognized by them as
meaning the same thing.
Our statement in regard to Mr.. Freeman
was made upon borating statements
of two parties at different times, which
statements we intend to lay before the pub
lie so as to justify ourselves.
We are strangers to Mr.. Freeman, never
saw him, and know nothing personally of
his politics, nor do we care what they are.
We are Disguised with these quibbles and
counter statements, but are too old to pub
lish as facts any statements without being
prepared to sustain them. We will show
to the public that Mr. Freeman requested
the publication of our article, at least, that
we were requested to do 50 by two parties
who professed to come from him. If we
do this, we have placed ourselves right be
fore the community, by whom we shall
leave Mr.. Freeman and his authorized
statements, directly conflicting, to be
judged. There seems to be want of re-
liability among some men in Richmond, to
which we are strangers. 1t seems we are
becoming acquainted rapidly we desire
to curtal this, as far as is in our power.

L1GHTFooT.-The Dispatch has a cor
respondent of this name, writing fro m
"Roanoke," concerning the late elections.
We don't know where Roanoke" is,
unless it is Roanoke county. If so, we
beg to differ with "Lightfoot,". as we
know that party lines acre drawn, aud
that the noble fighting of the colored men
resulted n the election of the Republican
ticket by large majority in the principal
Salem township.
Roanoke has never gone any other way
but Republican since the war, except when
she elected plain John A. McCaul and
not Col. McCaul, by very small majority,
which would not then have been given but
for the fact that he had for long time
been chairman of the Republican commit
tee, which induced number of colored
people to vote for him, doubtless under the
impression that be was still Republican
Glorious little Roanoke is preparing to
teach Democracy a lesson next fall, and in
spite of the squrming of many Democrats
she will plant her heel again upon the ty-
rants neck.
