Colonel Lane took care net to let 1t be

sion. He makes no allusion 10th existence

he.nStional organization Of the Democratic
party against the regular Democrats in Vir-
ainia, ',ye fail to understand why Colonel
LAND did not keep the correspondence to
himself. We can only guess that he pub
iished 1t because he feared its publication
by the regular Democrats. Here. Is Mr..
BAayUM's reply:
New YoRx, August 10, 1880.
He@. William Lamb, EoJeHt, "a:
Dear Sir,-Your favor OF 18th was re-
sceived during my absence, which accounts
for this late response.
In reply we would say that we consider
it important that you should do all IN your
mower to secure the coored and soldier vote
in your State. We should recommend you
to adopt any course which, in your good
judgment, would be likely to attain this
end. Yours truly,
WILLIAM Fl. BLRSpM, Chairman.
Where is there regular Democrat VINO
is not In favor OF doing all that be can to
secure the coiored and soldier vote in Nir-
ginia for HANCOCK? But there is vast
difference between trying to induce the me-
:groes TO vote for HANCOCK and inviting
them to take part in the meetings OF white
people; sending them as delegates to con-
ventioDs to nominate candidates for Con-
.gress to be voted for by white men; making
them chairmen OF county and district CON-
mites; sitting in convention with them;
and otherwise recognizing them as being
the equals of white people. The Malone
ties have gone SO far as to appoint negro
scauvassers to teach white men how to vote.
On this last point, the Lynchburg Adcance
has the following to sag concerning two OF
the canvassers Of the MAHoSE faction:
'.Who is Frank Moss? One Of the most
offensive colored Radicals In the State,
member from Buckingham or the Molun.
.geon Convention, the most malicious and
bitter Union League leader, always fanat-
zeal, bitter, offensive Radical, and now as
much so as ever; and yet the name OF Frank
Moss appears as q delegate to the Malone
Convention at Lynchburg to nominate
candidate for Congress, aud Frank Moss
and Caesar Perkins as canvassers to teach
and lead the people OF Buckingham In poll
tics. Will Democrats still be led blind
;foldi"
Neither Mr.. BARNUN, nor any other good
Democrat, North or South, will ever be
found engaged In any cause that requires
the recognition Of Radical negroes as lead
cers Of his party, though any good Demo-
.crat might very willingly consent to do all
THAI was necessary in order to get the ne
gro vote for General HANCOCK.
Who makes the appointments for the MA
NONE orators we may learn from a recent
card Of Colonel CAMERoS's. He says:
81 am one OF the Hancock electors at
large on she Re&djuster ticket, and am now
.canvasslng the State under appointments
made by General Malone as chairman Of
the organization.
