The Race Question.
WHY GRANT WANTED ST. DOMINGO

The Richmond correspondent of the N. Y.
Heratd, writing on Oct. Goth, reports a speech
delivered by A. H. H. Stuart, as follows:
In the course of his speech ,sMr. Stuart held
that the only issue in Virginia is whether the
white or the black man shall rule. It has no.
tang whatever to do with Federal politics at
TINS time, the question being absolutely local
He went back and reviewed the whole history
OF slavery. and dwelt upon it's violent aboli-
tlon, denounclng the government for inhu-
manity Ill freeing the negroes and then ieav-
ing them, poor, ignorant and unprotected, as
we'll as comforting upon them the right Of
citizenship, without educating them up to its
duties and obligations.
He also declared the utter antagonism and
instructive antipathy of the races, and the
impossibility of the white and blacks dwell
ing together in peace and harmony He
quoted the opinions of the greatest men in
the nation, from Jefferson to Lincoln and Ben
Wade, to prove that the negroes could not
anu ought not to remain i'll the same commu-
nifty with the white people in free condition,
and that with their freedom must come their
deportation to another country or exterlnina-
tlon. He cited the case Of the Indians, who
had been driven out and excluded from our
society. A conflict, too between the white
and black labor was coming. which would
prove irresistible.
He believed the object of Gen Grant, in his
effort to acquire st. Domingo, was the colon
izaton of the negroes Of the South in that
favored Spot. He had never believed in the
charge that the President had any "job7 in
view i'll this, but that he was prompted by the
highest, purest and most patriotic motives,
aud governed by the wisest craftsmanship.
He was only desirous of securing an asylum
and refuge for this outcast and oppressed race.
The fact that he had entrusted the mission
to Ben Wade, who was avowedly in favor of
sending the negroes to the tropics" and to
Fred Douglass. one of their race, was positive
proof, i'll his mind, that the President favored
this scheme, and was alone desirous of further
ing it in his purchase of St. Domingo. Mr..
Stuart referred to the exodus of the jews
from the land of Egypt, and predicted like
exodus of the black race, and grand future
for them in the Canaan of the Presidents selec-
ton. 1t was either this solution or the bloody
one of war of races and determination.

~ The n. Y. World has an article
in which it presents the statistics of the
voting in the last Presidential elec ton,
showing that the Democratic total vote
in the nation exceeded that of the Re-
publicans by some thirty or forty thou
sand. The World further increases this
vote by estimating and adding thereto
the very large Democratic vote which
was not pnlled in that election, for va
rious special reasons, which will not
apply when the full vote of the party
is called out. Whence the conclusion
is reached that the negro vote cOnsti
tutes the maturity of the Radical or
Grant party which the Democracy must
overcome.
The fact is certainly an important
one, but the World fails to show how
| this obstacle in the Democratic path is
to be overcome. And the Republican
of this city exults in this failure and in
this fact, and tauntingly asks: What
can you do about it - It takes pride
and glory to itself for the wisdom of its
party in thus giving to the negro vote
of the country, this great control and
power over the white race and the Re-
public which that race created. We
confess to like inability with the
World to correct and change this con-
dition of our political affairs, but we
can not appreciate the pride and exult-
alton of the Republican in its rejoicing
over the elevation of such II mass of ig-
norance and semi barbarism over the
most intelligent, progressive and en-
| lightened community of white people
| in the Christian world.
Macaulay's New Zealander. standing
at the Windsor Bridge, and pondering
over the extinct civilization of Britain,
suggests metaphorical prophecy not
so Improbable as the superficial reader
may be disguised to imagine. Such at
least would he the reflection of the
witnesses of the Republicans hilarity
over the fact that the African race
holds the power and control over the
administration of this great Republic

q A distinguished citizen just re-
turned from the North, brings us the
most gratifying intelligence as to the
prospects of Louisiana. His Opportu-
mites for observation were excellent.
He not only travelled among the peo-
pie, but as an alumnus of the most
prominent institution of learning in the
Countrywide College-was present at
an annual celebration which assembled
nearly one thousand of the most culti-
waited and distinguished citizens of the
North.
He was delighted with the cordiality
of his reception and the consideration
shown him as Il representative from
this unhappy State.
He expressed the opinion that at
least three fnurths of the Northern
people understood, appreciated and are
shocked at the conduct of the Admins
tration iu regard to Louisiana. He gives
no opinion as to the course of Congress,
but can our people doubt that with
such unequivocal manifestations of po-
pular disapproval the Government
must change front if we are only true
to ourselves! Such a change of senti-
ment at the universities of the country
is truly gratifying. Their influence is
incalculable. They are usually found
in the advance of every great reform
