TIE WHILE VICTORY IN VICKsBUR,

The result Of the recent election in Vicks
burg is both cheering and encouraging. l
is the best evidence Of what can be accom-
plished by united people and thorough or
ganization. Let us, then, profit by the In
structive lesson, and as our white brethren O
throwing of the burden Of negro and carpet
bag rule, so will we, too, triumph in the caus.
Of good government, if controlled in our actor
by similar wisdom and patriotism.
Although nearly equally divided in numeri
cal strength, the whites succeeded in electine
their entire ticket, by majority of over three
hundred votes and yet our special cor
respondent informs us that the negroes polletl
their entire vote many Of them, however,
voting tie white ticket.
The redemption of v cllsburg from the
hands Of the Republican party is but the ster :
ping-stone towards the early and complet.
regeneration Of the entire State Of Mississippi.
Experience has demonstrated the utter inca
pacity OF the negroes for government, and
their control of the Southern States since re-
construction which has resulted in their
prostration and almost ruin, has convinced
the world that a section Of this country, SO
fair, productive and healthy, should not 10
left any longer to the depredations of rascally
white adventures and ignorant negroes
Therefore, we have both the sympathy and
moral support Of the intelligent world who
look upon the distressed and humiliating con-
dition Of the South as fully justitying any
and every effort of the white people to
reclaim their States AID place thei,
governments once more into the hands
Of the intelligent and the honest That su
periority of race, intelligence and virtue will
It all time assert itsel. is not TO be questioned.
With these advantages in orr favor, it requires
'nly discretion and the exercise of q it'll.
PRACTICAL sense to give us undisputed sway
,ver the country
In the coming campaign in this State, then |
ct US entreat the white people not to lose
light OF the great importance Of harmony
nd united action. 1t is indispensable TO
uccess and by that alone can we hope to
tain the great object which should animate
ne heart OF every good citizen.
