the colored folk are led and organised
BY white mon, and the cry Of the whites
Of the South is, that the white men
who are or have been managing the
colored people are the worst kind ol
political adventurers. There is one
thing certain, that everybody felt when
the war against rebellion was 10 pro-
gress, and that is, that the white peo-
pie down there should rot be put under
negro rule after the Rebellion should
be wiped out. 1t was understood that
the colored folks should 20 longer be
slaves, to be bought aud sold, but that
they should have the rights Of citizens.
1t will prove an untold blessing to them
if they know how to appreciate their
new privileges. No one in his right
senses intended that the white men
down there should oe driven out oi
power to make way for the colored peo-
pie, aud If any one had his mind SO
upset as to believe that the South
should be converted into o military
camp to keep white men down and col
ored people up, it was their mistake.
The National Government must give
tone enough to the political situation
to guarantee the new citizen in their
rights. That's all. And if the Govern.
ment does not do that, there will be a gen.
eral uprising by and by that will make tha.
point clear to the dullest mind.
The majority in a number of the South
ern States is composed Of negroes, and to
organize all this element against the white
element, under the protection OF the Mill.
tary, is to organize against the best inter.
ests of ths South and the whole country.
Instead OF bringing into life the industrial
and business relations Of life between the
races, it embitters the one to crush out the
other, and embitters the other because il
is being crushed out, and by such q course
an end Of the trouble could never be reached
until one or the other would be entirely
wiped out by the strong hand Of military
despotisIl.
The new life that President Hayes has
begun means that the rights of all shall be
respected and preserved in each district by
the people themselves, and that ali troubles
must be settled among themselves without
the overshadowing fear, or the overshadow-
lug encouragement of outside parties or
powers. This idea is correct. / know that
it Old Hickory were living he would say it
is correct. OF course if they are so dumb
or SO bad down there that they can not or
viii not understand how to treat each other
decently, and go on with their murderous
work, the self respect of the American peo-
pie will compel the Government to adopt a
different policy from the kind and conciia-
tory one OF President Hayes.

Letter from an Old Jacksonian Democrat
Of Greenwood Township.
NEAR SEVEN STAR TAVERN,
June 2, 1877.

JUNO -, iOff'
M Dear Mr.. Editor This night
and the last night that | wrote to you,
if placed side BY side, would make a
great contrast. Everything then was
locked tightly in the arms of winter
tighter than come of the beaux of this
Starry region are locked in the arms of
their sweethearts tonight; for of all
the places for hugging cOurtings this
neck OF timber beats them all. I'll bet
Old Andy had no such experience in
the delightful fields of courtsbip as
many of the besux of the Stars can
tell.
The night on which wrote you was
quiet, and, as far as the face of nature
appeared or spoke, everything was fixed.
To night it is different. The life that
comes through a new resurrection is
showing Itself ir the deep green leaves
of the trees, aud one feels it In the
touch of the grass and weeds in travers-
ing fields, and the ear hears it from the
throats of nyriads of frogs, the crick,
chip, whir and buzz of untold numbers
Of insects; al these are evidences Of
new life, new resurrection, and make
a night different from the oDe on which
1 last wrote you.
If Andy Jackson could sit BY my
side and speak to me, be would say ;
90 Barton Speak, there has been as big
3 change in the affairs Of the Nation as
there has been in the matters Of snow,
ice, leaves, grass, frogs, insects. AMI
the whole face Of nature" He would
say "There has been a new resurrec-
tion in the politics of the country"
The country does not yet see the
great change that has come over it. /
don't know whether you see it. rather
guess you do, but | guess you have
been SO stunned by it that you haven't
yet found yourself in trim to tell it.
Of course | can't say just how Old
Hickory would act under such new
life, for his experience never reached to
such political resurrection. 1t is a
pity it did not, for if he had passed
through such experience, whatever he
did would answer for a rule to guide
his old Jacksonian followers.
You know that when l last wrote
you the South was firmly locked up il
the rule of men who never, before the
Reb, lion, had voice in politics. You
know that the slaves nsver voted, and
You also know that since the Rebellion
they all have right to vote, aud thai
the governments in the several StateI
down there that were acting with the
National Government we're all elected
by the votes Of the people who were
slaves. There was no one down ther,
to act With the National Governmsp

A COUPLE of California politicians,
of State reputation, are calling on
Grand iuries to indict certain news
papers for libel. Newspapers should
not libel people, and il they do they
should be punished but the idea of
the average politician talking about
libel. The newspapers out there per-
hsps might improve the morals of their
communities by looking after the work
or mauipulations OF the grand juries at
the same time that they are getting
their troubles with the politicians
