The Iuka Herald is in error in regard
to our late municipal election. The ticket
that was defeated was charged with run
ming on the "color line, whilst the one
that was successful ran expressly On the
fusion policy. The successful ticket had
upon it two negroes, and was voted by
a large number of whites. The colored
vote was pretty equally divided, quite a
large number Of whom openly voted the
Conservative ticket, thereby evincing
disposition to leave their former
leaders.-Independent South.
We suspect after all that, one of the
causes, if not the main cause, of the defeat
at HslIy Springs, was the Temperance
question. Our Junior cotemporary OF
the South was the Conservative candidate
and his paper had declared in favor OF
the present law. Pity that so good a
man should have been sacrificed TO such
an absurd and preftless measure

The COn..ilu.IonaI Amendment.

After our article on the issue JOINED
with US by the Okolona States, was put il
type, we received the n y. World O,
the 14th, unequivocally sustaining our
statement that the victorious party in the
late elections "will make no war on these
amendments"-that lit has no idea OF

ton for such purpose would be fool

this party is going to turn round and agi
tate to deprive them of a suffrage which
they are willing to use in our behalf
This would be a suicidal policy, Of which
we trust the Democratic party is not silly
enough to be capable. But all questions
of policy apart, negro suffrage is so far a
fixed fact under the Constitution of the
United States, that no State can make Il
law that will operate to withhold the
right of suffrage from any man because
of his color With all that it has to do

before it, the Democratic party has no idea
of undertaking to repeal or get rid Of the

Stirring Address.

To the Voters Of Montgomery County:
We, the undersigned Executive Com
mittee of Montgomery county take this
method of reminding you that on Tues
day the 1st day of December next will
be held one of the most important cleo
tions ever held in this county. A month
or six weeks ago you sent your delegates
to Carrollton to meet in Convention the
delegates from Lefore and Carroll coun-
ties to nominate suitable man for Sena-
tor to fill the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of W. H. Parker They met and
unanimously nominated Capt. w. P.
West of Letiore county; on Wednesday
last the radical party nominated Moses
H. futile as his opponent. So the issue
is squrely made up between native-born
southern man on one side and a carpet
Dagger on the other Now let us go to
work in earnest. and elect our man. We
have reliable information that West will
come from Lefore-the very hot bed of
radicalism only about one hundred be-
hind
Carroll county will not stain her bright
escutcheon by falling off at this critical
moment when the first hope of redemp-
ton is dawning upon US. She will cast
her usual vote, which is about an even
vote.
Then boys, if glorious old Montgomery
will spread her banner to the breeze
again, and rally to the call of freedom
and emancipation from high taxes, fraud
and corruption, as she has done since the
first dawn of her existence, and cast for
our nominee the vote that she east for
Campbell for Sheriff and Brown for Cir
cult Clerk, we will elect Capt. West SEN
ator by an overwhelming majority.
Then, let us arouse ourselves again,
get up our registration papers and be at
the polls on Tuesday morning, the first
day December to vote down the negroes
and carpet-baggers who are trying to
override us.

We find the following articles copied
prominently in the New Orleans Bulletin

white leaguers in Louisiana If they dc

that the race millennium has come, what
/ do they show?
From the n Y. Herald
/ ARE NEGRO RIGHTS PUT IN JEOPARDY
BY THE DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES?
The Democratic party is so evidently on
/ the high road to national success that the
1 friends of the colored race will feel some
anxiety and misgivings as to the security
of their newly acquired rights. The
| Democrats so resolutely contested every
inch of ground against the negroes, fight
ing the constitutional amendments one
by one, fighting the enforcement acts,
sympathising with the Ku-Klux intoler-
ance, and denouncing without stint the
abuse of negro supremacy, that Demo-
cratic ascendancy in the Federal Govern
ment might seem like putting wolves
over the flock in place of the faithful
shepherd dogs.
Peril to the negroes will be the chief
topic ofinfiamatory appeal by the Re
publicans in their attempt to stem the
tide of Democratic victory during the
ensuing two years. This topic may be
urged with great plausibility, but prob
ably with no great success. Fears of this
kind will be stimulated by politicians who
do not feel them. The Republican leaders
cannot under estimate the sltre,cdne8s of their
Democratic opponents as to beliere they ,Uiu
attempt to deprive the negroes Of either their
freedom, their ciUI rights, or the electire fran
ctiSe. 1t would be impossible to conceal
such a purpose if it were entertained, and
nothing would certainly arrest the polite
al revolution now in progress as a belief
that the Southern negIOes would be re-
manded by the Democratic party to their
former condition.
He haze no doubt that the rights of the
negroes 1cW be more secure IN Democratic
than II, Republican hands.

Declaration of Principles by the
Democratic and Conservative
Party Of Monroe.

The following resolutions were offered
by Col. w. H. Redwood, at our Mass
Meeting on Saturday night, and enthusi-
astically ratified and adopted by the vast
assemblage i'll which every part of the
county was represented
Resolved 1, That the Democratic and
Conservative party of Monroe county re-
joice and are exceeding glad at the result
Of the recent elections throughout the
country, and
Resolved 2, That we accept the same
as harbinger of peace and good will of
happiness and prosperity; of honesty in
office of Ripht trinmnhant nuor wrong .
OF Truth over terror; of intelligence, f.
deity and capacity over ignorance, de-
ception and misrule; that we recognize
in it the doom of the carpet baggers and a
crushing rebuke to the venal and treach-
erous scallawags.
Resolved 3, That we accept the result
in our sister States in the North and West
as the manifestation of national spirit
which tends to the restoration of Consti-
tutlonal Government, and a close and
more fraternal feeling between the differ
ent sections OF the Union.
Resolved 4, That we honestly avow
and will faithfully maintain the prin-
ciple of equal rights, to all men, under the

Resolved 5, That in this, our moment
of Triumph triumph so grand as to i'm

sense Of gratitude to Almighty God, too
deep for utterance-we cherish no feel
ing of luminosity to those who have hon
estly differed from us nor harbor design
but for the best interests of the whole peo-
pie.
Resolved 6, That we would be unwor-
thy the name Of men, and Of the glory Of
this present hour if we did not henceforth
faithfully, manfully and unitedly labor
for the redemption of our own afflicted
