We are on the eve Of another election.
Many colored men, since they have be-
come voters, have been members Of the
Democratic-Conservative party, and in
1875, large numbers joined it, and by
their votes aided in the overthrow of
Radicalism in this State. AT that time
they did 50 upon trust They We're
promised that should the Democrats get
possession of the State Government, none
Of their rights should be interfered with.
This was but promise since that time
they have found it to be fact. They
vote, sit upon juries, own property and
pay taxes, as their white fellow citizens.
The public school system, in which they
were most interested, has been improved, 3,
and their children now enjoy more bene
| fits from it than ever before. The Dem
ocratic. Conservative party, by its last
| Legislature, divided the offices it had to
| dispose of with the colOred Democrats.
During this canvass, in Pamela, Holmes,
Madison and Kinds counties, they have
placed upon their Legislative tickets col
ored men. In the Senatorial District,
composed of Bolivar and Coahoma, a col
ored man is the regular nominee, and in
many other counties colored men have
been nominated for minor offices, not so
much because they were colored, as be-
cause they were Democrats. So has the
Democratic Conservative party redeemed
its pledges to its colored members. 1t is
now their duty to stand up to the party,
and if possible convince their coIored
friends who have hitherto acted with the
Radical party to come forward and join,
and vote the regular ticket. Tell them
not to be led off by the new movement
called Independent, which will, if it be
successful, only benefit the Office seekers
and keep up the jealousies between the
races.
The black-liners have been often re-
ferred to in this canvass. No colored
Democrat or colored Conservative should
take the epithet to himself He has
done all in his power to destroy
the color line in politics. By Black
line is meant those, whether colored
or white, who to hold office kept up the
strife between the races, and falsely told
the colored people if the Democrats ever
come into power their rights would be
taken from them, and they put back into
slavery. You have seen the lie given to
their statements and it is now your duty |
to not only vote the straight Democratic
Conservative ticket yourselves, but to get
as many of your friends as possible to
leave the black-hne and vote the ticket |
that means peace and prosperity to all,
good will and kindness between the races

During the late war, to the honor of
Mississippi, it was truthfully said that no
part of the Confederate lines was ever
broken nor any position ever surrendered
which was intrusted to the soldiers of
your State. This was true alike Of the
Mississippi regiments in the army of
Tennessee and the army Of Northern
Virginia. 1t became prOverbial that
Mississippians knew how to die, but re
fused to learn how to desert a position
intrusted to them. The generals of the
army all appreciated it, and the com
mands that were next to them
were always satisfied that their fanks
would not be exposed. 1t required
an order "to fall back" for position to
be given up, and a general surrender for
the flags borne by Mississippians to trail
in the dust. OF all the Southern States
Mississippi was the only one that had
neither company or regiment to fgh:
against the South Such is her record.
Such was the devotion of her sons to
the cause they had espoused.

We have seen letter from Gen.
Martin in which, after stating that he
had completed the list of his appoint
ments, he speaks very confidently of the
success of the vote for the subscription
by Kinds county to the capital stock of
Natchez, jackson & Columbus Railroad.
Indeed we have heard gentlemen from
various parts of the county, who had
been opposed to the railroad, because of
the tax it will impose, say that they had
been thoroughly convinced by the argu
ments of Gen. Martin, that the advan.
tages, III the way of reduced frieghts and
increase of the value of lands, would
more than compensate for the increased
taxation. Thirty-four miles of this road
have been built and paid for, without
Borrowing a single dollar Adams
county issued three hundred thousand
dollars in bonds in aid of the road, and
these bonds are held by the county and
It's citizens, and are not on the market
for sale. The road is paying current ex-
penses, and when completed to jackson
will be the cheapest, as well as the best
constructed, and one of the most eco
nomlcally managed roads on the CONT
nent. Kinds county is not called upon
for bonus of two hundred thousand
dollars. She will have four hundred
shares of the capital stock in the road,
with no first, second or third mortgage
liens to depreciate the value of these
shares. The county will have a voice in
the management of the road, and if the
affairs of the company are conducted
with the discretion and wisdom which
have characterized the enterprise thua
TAR the road, so far from adding addi
tlonal burthens, will be source of innu
merable benefits to our people The
most expensive portion of the road has
| already been built. The balance of the
route will not cost exceeding five thon-
sand dollars per mile If the subscrip-
tlon is voted, We may confidently expect
the completion of the road to Jackson
within eighteen months, or even less
time. The advantages to the city of
jackson of bringing the road to this
point must be apparent to every citizen,
and we hope that the city will give a
solid vote for subscription.
1t is proper to add that this question
of the railroad subscription, has no bear
ing whatever upon the election OF mem
bers of the Legislature. They will not
be called to act upon the subject in their
official capacity. The question will be
determined by direct vote of the peo-
pie at the polls without reference to any
other election.

This issue of The CLARION Is the last
that will reach our readers before the
election. To the grand Democratic
Conservative army that marched under
the banner Of Retrenchmeut ..ud Reform
to victory in l81J-'76, We say be of
good ckoer, stand steady along the whole
:ine, prepared to march in solid phalanx
to the polls on the SIXTH OF NOVEMBER
1t is true that victory IS assured, but
noGo should remain away. Each mem
Der of the party should proclaim by his
ballot to the whole Union that Misss-
sippi, with an overwhelming majority,
will stand shoulder to shoulder in the
solid South for the Democratic candi-
date at the Presidential election in
1880.
The Radicals and their allies, the NAL
contents, dared not put forth a State
ticket, but if you approve Of the acts Of
your Legislature you will be at the
polls and vote the straight ticket from
top to bottom.
What We're those acts that you are
asked to approve?
Ames was driven out Of power.
Davis and Cardozo were impeached.
Every law passed in the interest of
Radicalism was repealed.
The school system was improved.
Taxes were reduced.
All salaries were cut down.
Expenses of every kind were reduced.
And every pledge was redeemed.
Can you withhold your approval of
such record?
The State ticket is sure to be elected
and there will be an immense Demo
cratic Conservative majority in the Leg
islature.
We would like to see that body
'soid" from the Tennessee line to the
Gulf. 1t can be made so. Ii a few
counties, certain malcontents and office
seekers, knowing they could not be nom
mated by the party, have allied them
selves with the black liners and inaugu-
rated what they call 'Independent"
movements Most of these movements,
we are gratifed to state, are already
dead, and we appeal to the old guard
that saved the State from ruin in 1873,
to stamp such as may remain under foot
on election day. The counties that may
be 50 unfortunate as to permit the NAL
contents to win, will have no more in
fuence in the next Legislature than did
those counties who sent bona tide Radi-
Gals to the last.
Again we send you greeting. The
music of victory is in the air Vote the
straight ticket from Governor to Consta-
bic. Let the lightning strike, and smite
the black-Iiners and their allies, hip and
thigh, for the honor of your county and
the glory of your State.

EDIroEs CLARION: In the Kinds County

OCCASIONALLY we learn that a man
who has hitherto been true has fallen by
the wayside, to be taken up by the black
| liners and malcontents and used against
his friends, his party and his State. For
such we have no words of reproach,
only regret to express. We part with
them in sorrow, not in anger 1t is but the
same old story.
In 1867 and '68 numbers who had
been true to Mississippi during long
and bloody war, joined with her enemies
to put upon her the ever infamous black
and tan constitution, with all its disfran-
chizing features. In the succeeding years,
from 1869 to 1874, lust for office caused
others first to falter and then to fall, and
they became clansmen of Alcorn, fatter-
ers of Ames, and tools of black liners.
As late as 1875, when every nerve was
strained and every heart intent upon
throwing off the Radical yoke, even then,
others deserted their colors and went over
to the enemy.
The histories of parties are filled with
such evidence of the weakness of men. The
history of the Republic points to Arnold,
who had been trusted and honored, as a
conspicuous example The Bible tells
US that even of the twelve chosen Apostles
one betrayed the Son of God and Savior
of man. Then can we expect anything
else; when the roll of the grand army
of reform is called that some will fail to
answer and DEsERTERs must be written
after their names.
But the histories Of parties, nations,
and the world teaches also that, matter
not how much man may be loved, or
how much influence be may have had, or
how much he may have been trusted, or
how honored, the deserter ofa good cause, |
be 1t week or strong, carries aOih him no
follca0lng. Let none, then, when as lead
er of the black-line, he takes upon him.

FoREwARNED is forearmed. The
Radical leaders are telling their malcon-

to move to man at their bidding. That
means they are going to attempt the

date colored Democrats and bulldoze the
bob-tail ticket through. We will have
none of it.
