in Alabama Is clearly represented by
John Forsyth, of the Mobile Register, Who
declares that the negro, as a voter, must
be got rid Of. "sooner or later, win
more or less dispatch, he will be disiran-
chised and thrust out OF politics" How
Il Ia tobe done, the Register thus discloses:
tThere Is a majority Of 10000 negroes
over The white vote Of the State, but no
larger majority than that which the
Mississippi Democracy SO triumphly

the above: 1.-THE white folks are to the
front now, and arc going to carry. the
Presidential election" In Mississippi the
old Rebel element is shameleSsly defiant,
and makes no concealment Of the fact
that II is going to carry the election in
November BY intimidation and murder,
as It did last,fall. The Meridian Mercury
says: ave haYe got the State; we know

their endeavors to iasten the yoke upon
us, and It is beyond human power to

thus appeals to the Democracy: THE
Radicals say that the canvass OF 1875
was too hot for them, Let them learn

you did in tie eanudSs Of last year repeat dur.

sippi is true Of Louisiana. Ex.Goy. Nc
Emery, at the late Louisiana Democratic
Convention, said: ave have got the
Radical party on the defensive, and my
doctrine is to agrees and agrees until We
drive that element beyodd the confines oil

We need not produce any further test
mony to prove that the ex.Rebels Of the
South, encouraged by the Copperheads o
the North, are throwing off their dis
guise and are coming to the front just a

same impulses, banded together for thu
same purpose, and following the leader

whom publicly advocated the right o
