MI. Carl SclIurz hes put himself in a
dilemma by writing some wholesome
truths about the Republican prospects

a friend in Washington in which he
stated that the German vote would g

State was lost to Hayes.

On the 10Th inst, at 5livcrton. s. G..
a crowd of negroes assaulted a Mrs.

The R Zeal candi date Tor Vice Pres
ident in his speech 81 81. Alb2ns, Vt,
appealed to ire prejnuiCe5 aud attempt
ed to excite the approximations of his
hearers by charging that the South.
'as in 1863, stand united against the
North. This assertion forms am imror>
tant part Of The stock in trade OF Radi-
cal orators, and is as groundless as fht
differences deduced from it are unfair.
The South. happily. is almost q unit in
the pres n campaign, but it is not array
ed against the North. IS section against
section, bnt against the government
from whose corrupt abuses the people
Of all parts OF tn country silffer alike,
and from whose nilsrule they alike seek
deIiverance. The opposition is stronger
and more determined in the South,
simply because oppression has been
more deeply felt and usurpation has
been mole fagrant, than in the North.
The Southern States are kept i'll a stste
of vassalage and prevented from graspe
ing the prosperity that lies within their
reach. 1t is not strange that eleven
years of misrule, marked by persistent
violation Of constitutional rights, have
failed to reconcile the Southern people
to 8 party which bases it's hopes of ex
istence upon the peTpetuation of the
gross abuses it has inaugurated. Ii
would seem from the tenor of Radical
orstory TINT voting the Democrat
ticket, which may be tolerated in Indi-
ana or New York, must be taken as
proof of "disloyalty" in Tennessee or
Georgia. This aggressive and hateful
spirit marks the entire conduct of the
Radical party towards the South, and
will never be exercised until that party
has been swept out of existence, and
the sectional issues npon which it feeds
have persisted with it. This. u victory
in November will effect. - Hohg

Democratic Negroes.

The Southern press arc satisfied that
the negroes in their section are fast en-
torirR Democratic ranks, and attribute
the large majority on the side Of De
m0cracy in the late election in Arkansas
to the revuIsion Of political sentiment
among the colored people. They seem
10 be thoroughly al We to the issues in-
yolved in the present campaign, and it is
evident they Will no longer be led by
men who have no further interest in
them than to lead them to the ballot
box like cattle. Although ignorant as
far as book learning is concerned. many
of these colored men have good practi-
ca, business senses and oon detect the
drones and frauds in their communities.
Aft&r years of excitement and trouble,
brought about by government agents
and po iticai Adventures, the practical
coiored man saw that his white friends
from the North generally flied all the
political places, filed their pockets, and
filed many graves with coiored men.
