COLORED EMIGRATION.

The Jackson Miss Clarion has become
rather sentimental and exceedingly pa
thetic over Senator WINDOWS emigration
project for the emancipation OF the colored
man from the expressions he now suffers
because Of his politics. The season for
killing niggers having closed and that
harvest of victims having passed, those who
have been industriously engaged in that
branch of business find time for more ra-
tional view Of the situation. They begin to
discover that if the colored people, who
have been their "hewcrs OF wood and draw
I" ors of water time out of mind, should
seek other and more cOngenial fields of en-
tcrprise and progress, that The white man
there, who has been sllve-owner, II slave
driver, and q "nigger murderer" for opinion
sake, will he compelled TO perform the
menial service hereafter that this oppressed
and downtrodden class has rendered TO
him. This view of the case has
alarmed the fears and quickened the
sensibiitics of the indolent white
who has heretofore subSstcd upon negro
industry and effort until the fountains OF
his heart are touched and find utterance in
pathetic appeals TO the colored man not 10
leave him. The Clarion sounds its notes OF
fear lamentatiOn, and eXhortaton in n most
lachrymose spirit. After uttering the
brazen ialsehOod that the Southern States
Union, and are executing the law in good
faith" it melts into the following most
doleful spirit of sentimentality and siclily
and fearful appeal:
What do the colored people think of the
scheme? Are they ready to emigrato? TO
bid adieu to their homes and the graves OF
their fathers at the bidding of political agi-
tators? Do they not pray to be saved from
their friends?
This is not only pitiful, but amazingly
| hypOcritical. Does the clarion, when il
speaks of their 'hidding adicu to theil
homes and TO the graves OF their fathers,
refer to the pcnt-up cabins that slavery has
| framed and erected for them-where they
now eke out stinted existence under tho
heel Of continued oppression? And to thI
iresh-made graves that enclose the victims
of the bull-dozing rife? What poetic JUS
ticc there would be in the transfer of this
people TO section of our country wher,
their rights would he respected; their in
dustries would he rewarded their advance
ment would be encouraged and fostered
and their manhood would be recognized ant
appreciated. Under proper encouragement
they are capable of making good citizens
and of lighting the battle Of life with sue

are that goal can never be reached

THESE Senatorial elections bring up some
queer "reminiscences. Among them is the
fact that twelve years ago ex-senator
TRuNtBULL and Ex-Governor PALMER, of
Illinois, were contending for the credit Of
inventing the civil rights bill and for elec-
ton to the United States Senate by Re-
publican Legislature. Last week they tried
before the Illinois Democratic Senatorial
caucus to see which could dive deepest into
the Shiny pool of Bourbon Democracy. Be-
sides this Mr. TRUNmULL claimed to be the
originator of Civil Service Reform. Verify
the reward of the professional Reformer is
anything but encouraging.

LOOKING back at the mass of evidence

inquiry, and the careful avoidance of any
investigation calculated to develop the real
frauds in the election Of 1876, the conyic-

thirty thousand dollars of the peoples

to make Democratic partisan capital and to
evade the exposure of anything that might
