Of the radical party at the North. We might

between 1865 and 1869, in which it was pas
Southern States ought to be governed not pri-
marily with an eye to restoring order and pros
perity within their borders, but with an eye
to furnishing" the Southern whites and per-
pettating the domination over the whole coun-
try of the radical party. The Southern negroes
utterly ignorant of the very existence OF such
a thing as political responsibility. were disci-
plined by the agents of the radical policy,
backed by all the machinery OF the Federal
Government, into q belief that their liberty
depended on their putting and keeping the
whites of the South completely out of all the
offices and administration OF the several States
of the south. These agents of the radical
policy were disseminated throughout the whole
Southern country. Wherever there was. q
post-ofhce, a military station, an office OF the
Freedman's Bureau, fiscal agent Of the Fed
eral Government there were they at their evil
work, dividing every county and every village
against itself, compacting the blacks into
body OF ignorant hostility against the whites,
making short that black mans party" by
which they were to rule and ruin the country.
They succeeded in their atrocious undertaking

need we go through with the miserable cata-
logue of the pestilential scoundrels inflicted
first upon the South and then upon the whole
country by this ''black mans party" thus con-
ceived, begotten, brought forth, and brought
up?
No, this BLACK mans party" having been
thus created, what possible form of opposi-
ton to it was left at the South which, from
the very nature of things, must not be
1t is the result, is it not, Of a division of
the community in which it existsp And
division has its laws, has it not, like any
other arithmetical operation? In that IA
nous partition of the turkey and the crow
between the Indian and the hunter, it is
clear that the Indian would have preferred
half a turkey with half crow to the whole
crow which he got But as the hunter APP
propriated the turkey, there was nothing
left for the Indian but the crow. The South
ern white people have to live in one country
Dor of the negroes is as essential to their
prosperity as to the well being of the ne
groes. But it is essential both to the whites
and to the negroes that the profits of the
capital and labor Of the whole community
should not be left at the mercy of mob OF
legislative blockheads controlled by a gang

heads and these rognes are in power by the

they to be put out OF power except by
white mans party?" 1t is not a question
of races. 1t is simple sum in arithmetic
Politics at the South is not game Of dom

a game of checkers where half the pieces
are black. The radical thieves have monop-
olized the black pieces What can the con-
sentative, honest men do but play with the
