nenoralized and Disorganized.

d. number Of Democrats In the State OF
Mississippi having said that they sntendeu 20
=. disoryanize" the vote OF the negroes 'Ie
Washington Republican takes the aiaffn' anu
declares that these Democrats and others ae'
sire and purpose to "disiranchlse cunee.
The strength of the Republican party IN the
South is the negro vote. Without IL tpaI
n,rtv is rs destitute of vitality rs body
without n heart. There is no health In It,.
lis not wonderful, then, that the Repu6t-
can sounds the alarm at the first intimation
of purpose to do anything that might de-.
privs the Radical leaders Of their faithful
allies in the South.
We cannot administer any consolation to
the Republican. We are firmly persuaded
tina. the negro party will be " disorganized !"
next year. The negro worships power.
Even the symbol of it awakens his admira-
ton. He is shrewd, too. And inasmuch as
he has for the last ten years acted with that
party which ruled the national House OF Re-
representatives. it is not at all impossible, nor
even Improbable, that nc msy think
it best for him to act hereafter with
the Democratic party, which now has
the control Of the national House Of Repre-
senta:ives. Indeed, we may remind the Re-
publican that there is good authority for say
ing that the negro has in some States lost
sight Of freedmen's bureaus, csrpet-baggers
mules, and acres, and turned bis attention
aud his hand and vote to the men who give
him the price Of his vote. This news must
be distressing to the Washington Republican
aud all others whose breadand.butter de-
ponds upon the continuance in power
OF the Radical party. For that :" lit
tie organ" and all its sympath'zers
we'll know that almost all the money,
as almost ali the intelligence Of the South, is
in the hands of the Democratic party. II
money Is to control SAMBo's vote, and if the
House of Representatives,. which holds the
national purse-strings, refuses to appropriate
any money TO buy negro votes, how are these
property-holdcrs in the South to be prevented
from buying up those votes? we cannot an.
swer the question. We don't know that any
Democrat will condescend 10 try to purchase
such votes. But We are confident that the
AS votes Of the southern States are hereafter
20 be cas-. solidly for the friends Of the Union
and the Constitution. 1t is retributive jus.
tee. Before the war only three.fifths OF the
negroes were counted in making up the
basis of representation for the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES. Now all of them are count
ed. Instead of counting only twenty-four
hundred thousand negroes, we now
count four millions; and this new
counting is the result of the emauci-
patton and embarrassment. Of the ne
groes. The gun which they loaded to fire
AT us we now use to blow them Clean out Of
the water. The division on the race line,
which the unprincplcd Radical villains en-.
coumged ond profited by few years since,
will hereafter insure their own political de-
feat aud death. Thus do the laws Of Nature
yinGicate themselves and make the wrath of
man TO praise the Ruler Of the Universe.
Thoroughly demoralizsd and disorganized
the negroes are hereafter doomed to be. We
eXu. over the fact because it indicates peace |
and prosperity for the country. They were
never tit TO over balance the votes Of white
men. Hereafter their votes shall weight
down our side Of the scale. The Republican
may make the most Of this kind Of treason.
