DEFIANCE OF THE UNITED STATES SOL
| Canton (Miss) Mail.l
If the Governor makes no requisi-
tion and Grant sends the troops any
how, will not the people be justified
before the law in resisting the inter
vention Of the military in time OF
: peace? Let the constitutional law
yers of the Radical party "crack this
nut"

4 Governor Stone is the commander
! in Mississippi, and when troops are
needed in this State he or the Legis-
lature will call for them. Until such
call is made the troops commanded
by Colonel Brooke are trespassers,
and Governor Stone will be justified
in ordering him to attend to his oa0n
affairs. IfGeneral Anger is anxious
to do something, let him send Col
onel Brooke to the Indian Territory.
His presence in Mississippi is not
needed, and should not be tolerated.

The Hamburg (South Carolina)
riot is the latest sensation. The Si-
oux Indian massacre fired the North
ern heart somewhat, but nothing to
compare with the Hamburg affair,
in which half dozen colored militia
met with the usual fate in race con-
fiict. Some of our representatives in
Congress pour vials of wrath upon
the white banditti. This may be
wise policy, but the principle s0e do
not like.
THE COLOR LINE DEFINED IN ALABAMA.
Mobile Register
There are but two parties, can be
but two parties with US, the white and
the black; and he who is not of the
former must belong to the latter.

which we entered into the struggle in

The South Carolina negroes are
getting their backs up. They had
better remember the fate of their
brethren in Mississippi. "An ounce

cure"
ANXIOUS FOR BLOOD.

Now, all we have to say is this:

THE SPIRIT OF THE LATE MISSISSIPPI
CAMPAIGN.
Aberdeen Examiner, July 26, 1851
God gave the victory to people
who were contending for liberation
from the basest thraldom ever en-
dured by civilized race, and who
would have been justified in swinging
their oppressors as food for the 6uz-
cards TO the 6oWghs Of our forest
trees.
THE PRICE OF ToLERATIoN.
Magnolia (Miss.) Herald.l
If the negroes of Pike county de-
sire to continue the amicable rela-
tions now existing between them and
the whites, to have their rights re-
spected, and to prosper, let them
prove it by organizing Democratic
clubs and by voting for Tilden and
Hendricks.
A SUGGESTIVE 'MARGIN''-1NTIMIDA
ZION MADE EASY.
On the Sth of July last the United
States grand jnry, sitting at Oxford,
Miss, made its report, stating, among
other things, that "the fraud, intimi
dation, and violence perpetrated at
the last election is without parallel in
the annals of history" but also point
ing out some of the defects in the ma
tional election law, and their failure
to find indictments in consequence.
Reviewing this report the Meridian
{ Miss. Mercury is led to say:
.sFhe lesson we draw for our bene-
fit from this report and action of this
packed jury is, that there IS quite
a margin for Intimidation 6et,oeen
Us and the boundaries Of the law,
and qoe can govern ourselves accord
lg."
HOW THE CAMPAIGN OPENS IN MIssIs-
Canton Mail.
David Jenkins, Alfred Handy, and
some others, might just as well
make up their minds to ground arms
now as later in the campaign. They
need not try to carry this county
against honest rule. 1t can't be done.
They need not try to excite the pas
sions of the ignorant masses against
the more intelligent. 1T shan't be
done. We tell them so right now.
Let them weigh our words of coun-
sci and be proited thereby.
Canton is in Madison county, Mis-
sissippi, which gave Grant 2400 ma
jority in 1872, and is Republican by
that majority to-day.
