MIR. Il. w. Hughes, the Radical can
didate for Governor of Virginia, in his
speech in Norfolk, last Tuesday, said:
cast the second question PROFOUND
ed by the Norfolk Virginian, asking
him eff he favored mixed schools for
white and negro children he could
state that the same question had been
propounded to him by Gen kemper,
out in different manner, viz: He was
asked if he was elected Governor of
Virginia, would he veto bill establish
ing mixed schools AS it had been re-
ported that he failed to answer the
question at that time, and that he hung
his head when pressed to answer, be
would now reply: When the question
was propounded to him by Gen. KEN
Il per, he was In such position that he
could not reply unless he made himself
very conspicuous at the moment. But
!! that he had intended to answer it that
day at the proper time, but circumstan-
ces, however, had prevented him from
doing SO. He would say that he could
not forget the prophecies of his position
as prominent candidate for the Office
of Governor, as also his belief that he
would be elected to that position, which
would prevent him from replying to the
question as propounded by Gen. KEN
per, by saying that he would or would
not veto bill. If he aid. it would be
on his part gross breach Of propriety,
and Gen. Kemper, on reflection, would
recognize it as such. But he would
say, that when his views as man and
citizen were called for. he would not
hesitate to express them. They were
these: That he believed mixed scools
would be the destruction of the free
school system, and that no republican
of any weight or intelligence would adj
vocate that system. He never would,
for he believed it to be a pernicious
doctrine, that could only result in the
injury and death Of the public schools
of the State.

The Mississippi Republicans have
adopted a platform the main plank OF
which declares against any distinction
of color in the schools and colleges of
the State. The platform says:-"We
recognize no distinction, as now ex-
listing by law, in the rights of all chill
dren of the State to equal privilege, and
to accept such in all public schools,
colleges, o. universities, and should
any of said institutions of learning deny
to any. children: on account of race or
color, its equal rights, we pledge our
selves to enforce said rights by appro-
pirate legislation -.
/. The Virginia Radicals stand upon
the sahne%platferm. The Lynchburg
Conventiondidpot it is true, incorporate
this obnoxious plank into their plat
form, butshey almost unanimously voted
against a. resolution which was /, offered
opposingsmixed schools. They differ
from their brethren in-Mississippi only
in this, that they were afraid to enunci-
ate their principles.
Hughes and his party in Virginia
will rejoice over the success of the
party that proposes to send negroes to
school with white children in Missis
sippi. Voters Of Shenandoah, beware
of voting for men who will bring this
curse on the white people of Virginia.
Elect Hughes, and he will leave no
stone unturned to break down all dis
tinctioD Of race or color, and our dear
OLD MOTHER will be second South
