As long as the negro vote could be
used TO over-rule Democrats the K apub-
licau politicians were happy, but when
in the South the vote became divided
and the negroes turned against those
who used them 70 oppose white people,
the carpet baggers became very bitter
against them. So in Delaware, when the
negroes divide their vote at the Reputli-
can primaries between the factions OF
that party the defeated loyalists are cry
ing out against the influence Of the ne
groes in shaping Republican tickets.
We have contended that the Republi-
can party of this State is essentially
negro party, that without their inhu-
ence at the polls the party could not
marshal respectable minority. The
Republicans have called us REBELS"
negro haters," &C., because we depre-
Gated the elevation of the negro to the
right of suffrage. Now ''Let the CALLED
jade VINCE" for Of the same bitter cup,
which you have pressed to the lips of
Democrats, for years past, you must
now drink in disgrace and humiliation.
If it be hard for you, who have prated
negro suffrage and equality, and de-
nounced slavery and slave owners, to ac-
cept defeat in your cwn party by negro
votes, can you not conceive the feelings
of those whose liberty and property
have been subjected to the inhamed pas
sions of these ignorant creatures. Have
you not, gentlemen, some idea now of
the disgust with which Democrats were
forced to submit to a contest at the polls
with negroes led like cattle to the ballot
| box? If unscrupulous demagogxes have
\ over-ruled you by the aid of negro votes
if you have been insulted and de-
nounced in your State Convention by
| negroes after all your devotion to them,
can you not now more fully measure the
crime you have committed on the great
| white race of America by aiding in Civ
| ing them the balance Of power? Your
crime was against the whole white race,
| in violation of the Constitution, and en-
forced by Federal bayonets. We have
never hated the negro. When left to
himself his conduct has challenged our
respect and confidence, his love of home,
the heart Of every Southern man. They
were always his real friends, but because
we opposed his enfranchisement ian act
OF wrong to him and US unprecedented
in the annals of history you called us
"negro-haters." Now, defeated friends
OF the Republican party, do you not
really believe that when you; voted tc

these millions Of negro votes, you com.
mitted a crime against your race and
your posterity fer the sake of maintain.

The Cameron Dod0c.

IL is now said that Don Cameron hesi-
tates to accept the War Portfolio, and
the recent appointment is a trick by
which old Simon Cameron has made the
President show his hand, and himself and
his son Don Cameron are made masters
Of the situation. The Philadelphia
Chronicle has information that leads it to
the impression that the whole affair was
pre-arranged, and that the pretence that
Don Cameron was not consulted is all a
sham. That paper says cit serves first
to give Don an opportunity to put him
self In the old fashioned role of the man
who waits for Office to seek him. But
this is not the end OF the string. By
holding off the Camerons have time to
survey the field after their harrow has
passed over it. They have stirred up a
noise and they are listening to the echoes.
In short they are gathering and weigh
