THE coLoRED ELEMENT IN vIR
GINIA.

AT recent political meeting in
Richmond, Virginia, j. w. Bowie,
spoken Of by the Dispatch as d coI~
ored man Of much sense, courage,
and determination, was firm and ye.
ry plain spoken about the civil
rights bill, and regarded it as "a
dangerous subject for national legis~
lation." Even Louis Lindsay, the
illustrious orator Of the State Consti-
tutional Convention, supposed to be
the most violent negro enemy of the
white man in Virginia, proceeded
TO assail the carpetbaggers and Feds
eral Office holders with great vehe-
mence, and to express the hope that
the day would soon come when they
would "be driven into the Gulf Of
Mexico" He besought the negroes
to rise up and "drive these rats out
Of Israeli He said s'negroes we're
being bought and sold now as much
as before emancipation Hethought
the day for reconciliation with the
whites had arrived, and "that as the
whites are holding out the olive
branch to them, the negroes ought
to meet them half way, and aban-
don the beastly ideas and noxious
associations of carpet>baggers and
Federal ofiice>holders. 1t was from
the real people of the State that the
negroes were to obtain their liveli-
hood. Civil rights was force, and
he wanted none Of that nonsense for
him." Resolutions were adopted by
the meeting condemning Federal Of
ficials for negIecting their duties to
canvass abe District IN Congression-
al elections It thus seems that
there is a considerable colored ele-
mont in Virginia which cannot read
lily DO whipped into party traces,
and has intelligence enough not to
permit itself to be controlled by cars
bag influence, nor deluded BY civil
rights.
It would seem from present indi-
cations, that many Of the colored
voters Of Georgia are also coming
to their senses, and win not in the
future be SO easily duped as they
have been by the knavish carpet>
baggers and scalawags who have so
long used them for their own selfish
and corrupt purposes. Sensible me-
groes Of Georgia are beginning to
discover that the white people,
against whom they have been array
ed By vagabonds and adventures,
are their truest and best friends,
with whom they have a common in
terest Ia the maintenance Of good
government, kindly relations, peace
and prosperity.

In the interest of party organiza-
ton, the peace and good of the
country, as promoted by the success
of the Democratic party, the undcr-
signed, subcommittee from the
Executive Committee of the Sew
enth Congressional district, have
been instructed to make you the
subjoined proposition:
IF you will consent and agree to
submit your claims to the organiza
ton Of the Democratic party, Col.
N. L. Trammell, the nominee Of the
Calhoun convention, will decline his
present candidacy and the cxecu-
tive committee OF the district will or
der new convention, and give the
people another opportunity to ex-
press their choice, in this, their own
matter. Col. Trammell has consent
ed for us to take control Of all his
claims, and in conclusion, we appeal
to you in behalf of all that is dear to
the people of the south, in this their
hour Of peril, to discard your very
flattering prospects, and let US all
become again united in this great
contest for constitutional govern
ment and civilization.
We trust, sir, that you will pros
emit no obstacles to such a desirable
end.
