of slavery for the inevitable tendency will be to

transported to some other country, he will slowly
but surely pass away, like the abor1glnes, and his
place among us, like that of the Indian, will be
known no more forever.

signed this report are I. F. Bayard, s. S. Cox,

called distinguished Democrats, because that
party delights to confer upon them its highest
honOrs, and their sentiments show what style
of men are popular in that organization Mr.
Bayard is, and has for many years been Sena-

The Mobile Register puts it in this way:
The grave question to be settled at much cost is
/ What is to be done to get rid of the negro a

White men of all parties, and of every grade of
religious moral conviction, may we'll come
quickly to the consideration how to get the negro
out of politics with the least confusion and cost.
He must CO. and there is no profit in standing long
upon the order of his going
You say it is a grave question. So it is, and one
that affects the moral and political welfare of the
whites to such an extent that the negro must go
out of the political problem by legislation the
part of the States respectively, go to the wall in
long, bloody and fierce struggle for his dec1ma-
/ ton. The question of suffrage belongs to
the States respec tiveIy. When the reorganized
Democracy go into Office in 1876, each State will be
allowed to settle this and all other social and do
nestle issues, for itself and in its own way, without
any interference from the General Government
Then, and not till then, be begun the work OF
resetting political and our demoralized social
institutions upon correct foundations. 1t will take

| This is emphatcally our platform, and we have

publican party assumes as fundamental truth
that the negro is capable of civilization, and that
his ignorance and brutality caused by the
tyranny and misrule of the dominant race. We be-
heve every word to be false. Eman-
cipation threw the whites and blacks their own
resources, and each race must depend upon Its own
inherent strength. Freeing the slaves was dec

silently ruthlessly and INCREASINGLY, until one or the
recognize facts admit that war of races is pro-

white mans rule, white mans civilization and
white mans government, or ruin and extermina-

The rights guaranteed by the State and Federal
constitutions do not brighten us in the least. We
do not expect to repeal any of the recent enact
ments. They nay stand forever; but we intend,
by superior intelligence, stronger muscle, and
greater energy, to make them dead letters on the
statute book We intend to beat the negro in the
strife, the warfare, the unending battle for life;
and defeat means but one thing-extermlnauon! !

Having exhausted every other milder means of
self-defense, having employed persuasive words
and flung harmless grass, the white man hnds 1t
necessary now to aim some more substantial mis-
siles that will prove his earnesess in the deter
mination to make the rude negro hasten down to
the level where he belongs, and cease gobbling up
the fruits of civilization which he neither helps to
strengthen advance. OF SUCH effective missiles,
Whenever he shall choose to use them. the white
man has his full supply, and plenty of hands there
be to throw them. Whether the sudden,
violent dissolution of the quiet relation that for 200
years had subsisted between the two races in
the South shall turn out to have been declara-
ton of war between the Caucasian and Ethio-
plan, depends, in judgment, entirely upon
whether the indolent, thick-skulled, and unas-
piring woolly-heads, after the too generous and
conceding white shall manifest his resolu-
ton to retreat further, will dare advance
against his rights; rights which belong to
his superior race; rights which God be-
slowed: which, through the unCOQCraQ1CC6Q dQCeCe-
dents of all time, his long lineage has maintained,
and which, at this late day, he will not be ready to
surrender until he has ridden up to his brdlebits
in blood We do not believe that any such bloody
necessity will come. The unambitious and natur-
ally harmless negro will never force it OF himself
at the instgation of the wicked hackers who be-
guile him. he may tempt the destruction which such
a conflict would make sure. It will
be given in ambiguous words, and with an en-
phasis of unanimity which will astonlsh those who

and sophisms as you may, it is none the less APP
parent that the great struggle in the South is the
race-struggle of white against black for political
supremacy Those who assert and contend for the
supremacy of the white race are arrayed under the
banner of the Democratic and Conservative party;
and, it matters not how pure the intention OF the
Radical voter may be, every white man i'll the South
feels and knows that, to the full extent of his
and influence, he is aiding and assisting the black
man to become the ruler and master Of the white.
The struggle going among is not
mere contest for the triumph of this Or that plat
form of party principles it is a contest between the
antagonstc races and for that which is held dearer
than life by the white race If the negro must rule

far into the future. On the other hand ii the white
man must rule, then will the deluded negro Co.,

We must act speedily and decidedly, no matter
