LET TIE NEGRO THINK.

II tho negroes Of the South, who have bee
u1nancipated by the war, and since have bee
she slaves Of the Northern Adventures VIII
followed in the wake Of the Federal army
could be induced to exercise little mougn
and look impartialy ct their own true condl
hon, they would not be long IN arriving
the conclusion that they have permitted them
,elyes 10 ie made the dupes Of the carpet
Aspper and instruments in his hand for tn
soin Of the country and the political enslave
plent Of the entire negro race.
That there is any sincerity in the profes
,ions of friendship for or interest in tn
negro, on the part Of the white Radical lead
srs. no one for moment believes. Selfish
ness alone is at the bottom of all this sym
pathy, ard personal gain the handspring OF
Inc actions of every Radical carpet-bagger.
We SEQ these facts demonstrated in thu
treatment Of the negro at the North. There
Ae is of NJ use to the p,rty On tho con-
txary, he is ON clement of weakness. and
hence he is not courted or Toasted as he is IL
States where his votes are sufficiently hume
rous to decide the result Of elections.
As. therefore, the negro is utilized only
when he can advance tho interests OF political
leaders, 50 is he most unceremoniously set
aside and ignored whenever it appears that
his presonce will operate injuriously to the
zuccessful issue Of any party scheme that may
be set on foot in the interests Of the Republi-
can party. Nor Will this neglect and abandon
ment OF the negro end here. His hypocriticai
friends will 60 farther than the SO called Bit
.erost foes of the black race, to drive them
from the country, just SO soon as it is discov-
cred that the saccess Of the Radical party may
be jeopardized by farther alliance with the
negroes.
The present fearful condition of the South,
brought about by the unlimited control of the
negroes and the corrupt and base purposes
which they have been made to serve by their
political masters has brought such odium
upon the Republican party, and so seriously
damaged its future prosperity, that the leaders
recognize the great importance of eliminating
that element now, which, from an unwise, IN
Just anl corrupt management has been turned
against The power manipulating it and threat
ems to carry down to destruction those who
rode into power upoa the backs Of the poor
ignorant negroes who so faithfully but SO
blindly 81 we'd and obeyed their heartlcss
leaders
What is proposed now2
Finding that the use BY the Republican
party of the negroes in the South, in such o
way. as has been practiced for the past eight
longer hope to control the government through
the agency Of negro votes and negro domino
tion in the South, they propose now to re-
move every negro from the South and send
him to Liberia. Some Of the leading Repub-
ican journals are openly advocating such a
policy in the interests of the country and the
safety Of the Republican party.
The Philadelphia North american on this
subject says:
Al present we have to choose between af-
torduig these colored people an African outlet |
or oil owing them to overrun the bordes States |
Of tns North and West. The one free right |
they retain is the right to emigrate from place !
to place. end that they make use of in earnest. |
ID some sections they have thus bee ONE so
numerous that white nlau stands no chance |
all.
Further along the editor says that an
"African exodus" is necessary. and that the
only hope for the future Of that much-injured
race is in its immediate restoration to its
native soil. lie says, too:
Slavery has been abolished, aud all that the
Republic could do for the colored race has
been done, and still all is failure. and coloni-
nation again looms up as the only solution Of
the problem.
As tho Macon Star truthfully says to the
negroes of Georgia, the Same We repeat to the
negroes Of Louisiana. Let them read and
mink
The change in the political situation is one
Tor the negroes to seriously ponder. Perhaps {
hey may come to the conclusion that it would
be better TO cultivate the friendship, respect .
md confidence Of the white people, with
whom their lot has been cast, than to accept I
the invitation of their pretended Northern i
friends to return to Africa. OF one thing :,
hey may rest assured, they will never realizs
heir Senseless aspirations for political su-
2remacy and social equality on this Cont I
nent, and if they continue here in the peace
HI enjoyment Of their essential rights, which +,
hey now possess, it will be as the friends. :
md not as the enemies, Of their old masters
