MILITIA

Much discussion is being had over the
militia question; whether the white peo-
pie shall muster or not, puzzles many.
The organization of the militia by Gov
ernor Ames at this time is great calam-
ity, but as he has decided upon this
course, let's meet the issue like men of
the two evils let's choose the least. 1t is
understood that ten companies are to be
organized in this county, five white and
five colored, provided the whites are will
ing to muster i. not, all will be colored.
Now who can picture the awful results
that will arise by the organization of ten
companies of negro militia in our county,
organized, armed and equipped and sus-
tanned against the white race by the great
power of the State, as will be represented
to them by their Radical leaders It
will encourage and embolden them to
such a degree as will certainly cause a
conflict with lIs X X X
Now the organization of an equal number
of white companies will thwart him in
his murderous designs, it viii show the
negro that they alone cannot be organ
lied and armed against us but it will
hold them in check, restore peace and
quiet to our community, prevent further
disorder, and enable the crops to be
gathered whereas, if we neglect this
duty of mastering, the fields will be
abandoned by the negroes for the military
camp; they will be told their day to OBJ
tain their forty acres and mule has ar
rived, and we all know they are credulous
enough to believe anything told them.
The result will b. in the end, negro mill
tary rule-our election gone-one-half
the community ousted for being in rebel
lion against the State government; the
lives of many of our worthy citizens
sacrificed, our prospects bIighted and our
hopes gone. Organize, then, at once, for
the protection of our homes and fresides,
or we may lose them.

The motive of Ames in organizing the
militia, after saying to the Administers
ton that purely white organization
would be Intellectual as a protection to
the negroes, and that a negro mi
Iitia would produce bloodshed and disor-
der, is clear 1t is to bring on a conflict,
and thus manufacture a pretext for inter-
ference with Federal bayonets. To
checkmate this atrocious scheme, and
afford practical evidence of their deter
mination to preserve order, white COM
panies are organizing in various parts of
the State and rendering their services to
the Governor, and, however reluctant,
he is compelled to accept them. The
State Executive Committee of the Dem
ocratic-C Conservative party have earnestly
recommended this course; and we are
gratifed to note that it has the warm
advocacy of The Monitor, at Vicksburg,
where militia organization is now being
formed. The Monitor says:

How to Utilize their Power.

In an article printed some months ago
the HERALD endeavored to show the
temperance people of the State the
hopelessness of securing the reform
they seek through the nomination of
temperance reform tickets. In the
same article we set forth our views
as to the best means for filling the of
fees with men of temperate habits.
The folly of running Temperance
reform, ticket was forcibly illustrated
at the recent election. The nominee
of the temperance people was an able
and worthy man, yet out of the twen-
ty-four thousand voters cast in San
Francisco, he received less than one
hundred. The same or about the
same proportion is noticed throughout
the State. 1t is not presumed that
any one will fall into the error of sup
posing that this vote represents the
number of votes in the State who are
deslrous that our public officers shall
DO men of temperate habits. There
are thousands of these voters but
they did not cast their ballots for the
temperance nominee because they
well knew that his election was all i'm.
possibility. This refusal of temper
ance men to throw away their votes,
ought to convince the leaders of the
temperen ce movement that they can
use their strength to better advantage
than by throwing 1t away on a total
abstinence ticket. IF the voters who
would drive intemperance from high
places would make their power felt
they should demand of the two great
parties the nomination Of candidates
who will not put an enemy in their
mouths to steal away their brains and
after making this demand vote only
for the candidates approaching nearest
to their standard oftemperance men.
In this way they will soon become so
powerful as to hold the balance of
power between the two parties and
thus compel each to put forward can.
didates against whom the charge of
drunkenness cannot be urged.
