is one to the effect that Attorney
General Williams will soon retire
from his present position. He docs
not absolutely deny the truth, but

Barry was consid cradle under the
influence of tangle-foot during the
most of his stay here (about TWEEN

drunk. Yet, our contemporary says
& We spent several hours very

when he finds honor in the company

cent The blacks were taught that
republicans favored aud their OPP
ponents hated liberty, and it was
right to take advantage of such OPP
ponents. Until year ago all their
meetings in tho country were as or
ganized bodies of armed men. They
were taught that democracy meant
slavery. Advantage was taken OF
the great religious element in their
nature TO make them trust these
men.
The white people of the Sout h
were waiting and willing 10 take
the blacks by the hand and go with
them in every measure tending to
the common good of both. They
did not wish them to leave their pO-
siticn, their manhood or their rights.
He claimed every right for his race
that the venerable chairman claim
ed for the white race. But in giving
his race liberty it was no part of
the understanding that they should
trample on the lights of tho whites.
And yet these bad men taught the
colored men that it was their inter-
est to do so. If the black men were
to continue to BIO instruments of
strife it was their work. lie want
ed the North to know that there
was no luminosity between the whites
and blacks OF the South. GCheers I
He wanted the people of the North
to shape their policy so as to dis
courage the interference of mis-
chievous political adventures. The
two races must dwell together. They
were labor and capital, each ncccs-
sary to the other, each useless with
out the other"
Major Delany then testified to the
generous and courteous treatment
which his race received from the
Southern whites. lie did not share
in the fear Of war OF races. lie
looked upon it rs impossible, and in
conclusion again urged that the
chief evils of the political situation
came from tho carpet-ba- gers, say
ing that he wished ho could be
heard with voice so potent a. to
drive them from the South. The
sensible and candid address of this
distinguished colored man ought to
be needed by the Northern people
and by his own race.

not leave your own kennel to defend

True and Sensible Views of a Colored
Man.

The following remarks were ut
tered by Major NJ. r. Delany, form
erly of the United States colorcd
volunteers, and were listened to by
a large audience in Irving Hall Bal
timore. lie remarked at the outset
of his address that few persons in
the North knew anything of the
condition of the South, most of their
information coming from interested
politicians.-The colorcd people at
the South, when the war ended,
looked around for friends, and nat
urally to those whom the war for
their freedom had brought to them,
and as naturally those to whom
they looked advised them SO as to
subserve their own interests. Major
Delany says what has always been
plain to all unprejudiced minds. that
the new Corners took advantage of
the ignorance of the blacks to mis-
lead thcm.-Ie says:
"Thcy taught them that whatever
was contrary to the interests of their
old masters was right. He said,
knowingly, that the class ofmcn who
undertook to lead the colored men
in general had no interest in either
the black or white race of the S ,uth
They taught the blacks that they
should crush out the whites. They
made them believe they were rep
rcscntatives of the government sent
from Washington to be custodians
of their rights that the white men
would rcins!ave them tho moment
they put confidence in them. SO
pushing back tho whites on one
hand, and the blacks on the other,
they plunged their arms to the el-
bow in the pocket of the blacks,
and to The arm pits in those of the
whites. lCheers and laughter
Look at the legislation. The intel
gent colored man did not go South.
Humble as he was, he found few if
any of his own status among his |
race. Look at the taxation and cx-
The white man is tax
ed to the last mill, and the black

We are rejoiced to know that
farm work is progressing so favora-
bly, in our county. From all quarters
we have received the gratifying in
tclligencc that greater preparations
are being made and more land put
in cultivation than at any time since
the war Tho colored people
are working with greater interest
and more earnestly than for years.
Fences arc being put in better Or
der, bitches opened and a general
Improvement in all farm work il
manifest everywhere. We are in
formed, too, that a great deal of
corn has been planted, while oats
and millet have also been extern
sively sown. All this is gratifying,
and il we are blessed with favora-
BILE seasons, next fall and winter
will be q time of great rejoicing
with our people. The hard times,
tho scarcity of money, the lack of
bread in the country, oil contribute
to the present exhibition OF energy
and thrift among our people. The
hard times may prove a blessing in
disguise; they, may and wo be-
lieve they will, provo the salvation
of our people. And while VIC have
hopes for bountiiul harvest of
crops this fall, may we not. hope
that tho same hard times will also
be the means of delivering US from
the domination of the carpet-bag-
gers and plunderers who have ex-
haustcd our substance heretofore.
We believe the laboring classcs will
join with us in the effort to drive
out these pests and droncs, who are
here only to consume the fruits of
honest labor. Let us make the
effort.

The Vicksburg Times, as was tc
DO expected, does not like the
course we approve of and wish to
DO carried out against the carpet
Dagger and scallawag. That organ
don't relish the starving out bnsi.
Ness. Well VIC do, and shall con-
tinuc to q lvocatc it as the quickest
and surest way to got rid of the
robbing horde quartered upon our
people. But leaving out greater
considerations, the very fact that
the dominant power in the state
has used every means that legisla-
ton could employ or impose to
starve out the people of the state
aud their representatives, is a suffi-
cient reason for such course. The
burthcnsome taxation under which
we groan, and the compulsory pat
ronage of official organs, is a part Of
the starving out process that the
Radicals have exercised over our
people. We advocate /" tit for tat"
IF we can break down onr opprcs-
sors by severely leaving them alor {,
we propose to do it.
The Canton mail. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 18??-1882, 1875-04-24

We received communication q
few days since from one of our sub
scribcrs who lives several miles
from town, stating that Toles had a
deputy in his ncighborhood, who,
after assessing the personal proper
ty, desires to know from the tax
payer how many acres of land he
owns and what is its value per acre.
The deputy enters his information
in a book, but does not take the
numbers or otherwise describe
the land. lie tells the taxpayer that
he is not assessing it, but that he
(ho taxpayeo must again give it
to DIR. Tolcs.
We do not understand what all
this means, but are inclined 10 think
with our correspondent that there
is some trick at the bottom of the
thing. 1t is highly probable
that Toles wants to find
out how the people propose to val
TIC their lands, so that he may add
to their valuation when he comes
around, and thus swell the assess
ment to an amount sufficient to
meet the demands of the robbers
1t is determined that so much mon-
ey shall DO wrung from the people,
and in the absence of any power to
raise the per centum, it is the inten-
ton to bring up the deficit by over
valuation.
The Canton mail. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 18??-1882, 1875-04-24

1t will not be long now before VIC
may expect 10 see the Radicals Or
ganizing for the fall campaign.
We trust that our people will not
submit quietly and unconccrnedly
TO the re-vfiicering of our county by
tho carpct-bagsers, scallawags and
their plant tools, and make no con-
test with them. We believe, large
as the Republican majority is in
this county, that our people can
carry it in the interest of honest
and just rule if they make up their
minds TO do it. If every democrat
and conservative in the county will
feel it his duty 10 exert himself with
more than ordinary interest and eff
fort, We can defeat robbery, plum
'lering, ignorance and high taxation.
No threats or intimidation need be
used; but united, earnest action
On the part of all will secure the de-
sired result. There are hundreds
of culored voters in the county
who, it approached right, will vote
with our people, The colored pco-
pic as u class arc Is sick and tired
of the carpet Dagger and scallawag
us we are, and have as little conf
denco in them as we have. The
colored people of the county, at
least very many oc them, know and
realize to their sorrow that the gcn-
eral prostration in our state, the
lack of energy, thrift and enter
prise and u corresponding lack of
money and credit, is attributable to
no other cause than the domination
and rapacity of the Radical party
and its politicians.
We are in favor of a vigorous
straightout fight
against tho Republican party as
now constituted in our county. We
can elect our Legislative and coun-
ty ticket If we will; but it will re-
quire untiring, unceasing work from
the commencement of the campaign
10 tho day of election, and on the
day of election.
There is n great deal of bluff in
Tho Radicals, and great make-be-
Iieve, and our people have been too
often bluffed off and have given up
The contest when they should have
held fast and re doubled their efforts.
We say now, however, that if our
people stand quietly by and do not
oestir themselves in the canvass, if
hey hesitate to come out the day
Of election upon the plea that it
is no use to try" if they fail to
exercise the right kind of influence
over the colored voters with whom
hey come in contact, there certain
y will be no use to try to win the
from tho plundercrs. Let
IS begin at once shaping our plans
md programme of action. Let US
70 to work like men with a deter
nination to redeem our county and
estore peace, harmony, confidence
nd credit, and wo will succeed.
We can but try. All ha IDS to the
york then. If we fail let it oe in o
God cause and not from indiffcr
nee and inaction.
