The Retcs and Cuurser, commenting on The re.
volt Of the colored delegates against the cunning
white manipulatorz, says that Nobley is mos
unsavory politician, but he told the truth fol
once in his life in bis speech. The white Re
publicans have no use for the colored people, ex-
cept in getting Offices by their numbers and
votes" The colored people cannot secure the
price they are worth, as long as they follow
blindly the directions Of white overseers such al
Bowen and Mackey. Whatever is gained goe:
70 the share of the white overseers or their col
cred assistants. Elliott and Whipper get the
leavings Of the Bowens, The Mackeys, and the
Tafs. Whenever the colored people assert thei
rights, and drive away their overseers in confu
sion, they will obtain places for themselves. Tn
Ill then they will receive nothing worth having
II is better for the Democrats too that coloret
men should hold Offices than that the degraded
white Radicals should have them. We want u
see the colored people get whatever politica
plumber their votes buy and pay for When THU
Is accomplished, Freedom will, indeed, come
in.' There is no freedom yet for the colored Re
publicans They are under the orders Of the
white overseers, who reap, in the political field
whatever the colored people SOW. Substitute
for the Bowens and the Mackeys and the Tafts'
the names Of some " white overseers in Florida
and the description fits admirably.
