Mr.. Editor.-I pledge my honorto prove
Gf proof be desred) that my old friend Ro-'
helrt W. Hughes has heretofore declared
these identical words-viz.. that "the unfit
psss of the negro race fop the enjoyment Of,
freedom, and their incapacity for the task OF
self-goyernment, was exhibited in the expe-
rience of the British West Indies and the
bloody example of Hayti" and on the same
occasion,! lin bis paper, tcat ." the southern
people find in their midst a great mass OF a
race akin to themselves in blood and
origin. incapable of providing even for
their own welfare and snstenance when
left TO themselves, far less of contri-
bll.ing to the generalGprosperity; igno-
rant, savage, sensual: needing protec-
ton. GUIDANCE instructions, control, author
ity showing nothing of freedom and
capable only of abusing it." So said Mr.
Hughes of aud concerning you, colored men
of Hulifax IL lWhfte, Black Republicans, look
now on the picture he drew OF you Gnclud-
ing YOUR pet, pious Viee-President Wilson,.
After stating that BCchanan'S election had
saved us from bloody -ciYil-war Mr.. Hughes
writes and asks: docs any man in his
senses doubt that this Black Republican host
will renew the contestlni&c. LAS we'll sup
pose the devil will rest quietly in hell. and
cease his assaults upon innocence and virtue,
as to- suppose 4 crew so lost to truth and
honor. so damned in all good mems eyes,,

overthrow" ,..,
"To plumber and steal and bride they
have proved themselves ready, willing, and
ait; but all their villainy has one direction.
and that is to gain Office, to gain power, get
mouey for their personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
and to strengthen their purity, that they may
,jlBnder with impunity and hold on longer.
This Black Republican party are pure po-
iitlcal Ishmse:ites, and love no'part or parcel
OF their country only so far as it will yield
them power and spoils," &c. g They want
all, and will grab all unless overthroWn and
driven like the money changers from the
Temple, which they dehIe by their shameless
dishonesty" H.

Answered..

In his speech at Norfolk on Tuesday last
Mr.. HUGHES stated in the most uuequivoca
terms that he had never said to Mr.. WATSON
that he would not run apon a ticket with q
negro caudidate. as' ..s ~
Much better: Mr.. HrGHgS svowed in
terms equally positive his hostility to mixed
schools. We quote the Norfolk Vlrsintan's
report of his remarks on this point: -,...
.:As to the second question propounded
blythe Norfolk Trgin'uA, asking him iii he
favored mixed schools for white and negro
children he could state that the same ques-
ton lad been propouuded to him by Gene.
raj Kcmper, but in different manner--viz. ::
He was asked If he was elected Governor of
Virginia would he veto bill establishing
mixed schools. AS il had been reported
chat be failed to answer the question at that
time, and that he lung his head when
pressed to answer, he would now reply:
When the question was propOunded to him
by't4eneral kemDer he was ia such q posi-.
non that he could not reply unless he made
himself very conspicuous at the moment.
He had intended to answer it that day at the
proper tipie, but circumstances bad pre-
vented him from doing so. lie would say
that he could not forget the proprieties of
his position asa prominent candidate for the
Office OF Governor. rs also bis belief that be
would be elected to that position, which
would prevent him from replying to the
question as propOunded by General kem-
yer, by saying that he would or would not
veto bill. If he did, it would be OIL his
part II gross breach Of pr0pricty, and Gen.
e,,l ktmper, on reflection, would recognize
1t us. such. But he would say that when his
views as u man and u citizen were called for
he would not hesitate 10 express them. They
were these: That be believed that mixed
schools would be the destruction of the free
school system, and that no Republican of
any weight or intelligence would advocate
That system. He never would, for he be-
licved it to be a perniciouS doctrine, that
could only result in the injury and death of
The public schools of,the State"
No one could ask for a more decided an
swcrthan this. thought not TO damage Mr..
HcGuEs's prospects in The smallest degree,
Yet we suppose that it will. AS we have
not spared him when we have denounced
the friends of mixed schools, SO we do not
hesitate moment to applaud him for his
manly position on this most important sub,
.iect. We are inclined to answer Affirmative
ly question which rye yesterday PROFOUND
ed to the public, and say that Mr. HUGHES Is
