The Radical Elephant.

For opposing the entrGsting Of the
ballot to the hands Of bcnighted ignor-
ance, the Democratic party was
accused of still clinging to slavery
of wishing to remand the ncgrocs to
their former condition, and the credu-
lity Of the negroes was thus worked
upon by designing politicians of the
Republican party, to fastcN carpet-bag
rule on the South. Not only so, but the
Radical party took advantage Of the
wise political course of the Democrats
in this matter TO embitter the minds
of the negroes against tie best clc
mcnt in the South, who they were
taught TO regard as their enemies.
That party disregardcd the counscls
of those of wiser views, and in their
greed for Office and hatred of the
South, they conferred the ballot upon
the colcred race; and now they find
they have caught an elephant, with
which they are at a loss to know how
TO deal. The question is now how to
dispose Of him, after it is too late.
They gave the negro his vote and are
responsible for the result.
The Homer Hard, whose editor is
ono of the most intelligent Rcpubli-
cans in the State, gave utterancc
recently to the following truth, to
which it should have given uttcrancC
in the beginning, when it was battle.
ing for what it now concludes to be
a false aud dangerous doctrine. II
says:
We say emphalically, and without
decentralization, that this country can
never have safe aud permanent peace
while our Government is part white
and part black You cannot mix oil
and water, and you cannot mix the
Caucasian and African races in d
prosperous and safe conglomeration
of political and social equality 1t
implies lie apd lie will never
mix with the truth, and be safely al
ease. II implies a contradiction in
nature; and whenever one law OF
nature is violated, there is destructive
connection.
Mr.. Jefferson said that an attempt
to mix the races upon basis Of
equality would result in the eyterHin
alton of the colored race; and perhaps
Mr.. Jefferson was wiser and more
iar-seeing statesman than any now
living in this country He. was a,
leas: patriot, and almost if not quite
totally unselish in politics.
And all the promipent Republican
leaders Of more recent date have
held To like ricws-notably among
them we End Mr.. Lincoln himself
who much deprecated and dreaded The
freedom of the negro, with any attempt
