CamerOn's Record.

for the public, Touching bis op.hicns
several years ago Of the negroes and
the Republicans-the man who with
honsyed speech is now trying to bam-
bcszle them and pull the wool over
their eyes. Records are often very
troublesome things, as Mr.. Cameron
will find out to his sorrow. The
damned spots will not oHt." Tho y
will live to plague the inventor and
stick like the shirt Of Nessu,. we give
few specimen pieces this morning and
will give many more. For our celored
friends they will constitute nice, cool
reading this warm weather. We COM
mend them to their careful perusal:
Erenins Star, 1875, ". E. Cameron,
EdiOr-iSeptemter 20, l875.-"Mr.
William E. Cameron will continue to
be in sole control OF the editorial de-
partment."
September 81, S75.-"No people
ever displayed more noble spirit Of
endurance aud determinatati ton than
was shown BY this people Of Petersburg,
under the long black years Of negro
domination; and none ever made a
more splendid exhibition Of emerge ic
resolution than that which they put
forth in the sprins OF IA, when, with
serried masses and unhroken tread, they
marched upon the despoilers, and hurl-
cd them from the seats Of power which
their ignorance and dishonesty had de-
fled"
September, %, l875.-"For ourselves,
we hold our older islosan. Fusit n
OF the whites against the solid enuity
Of the blacks"
September, %, lS75.-"The truth is,
and 1t had as we'll be said in the begin
ming as the end, the Independents are
playing into the hands Of the GRANTEES,
who control The negro masses and are
whether knowingly or not-taklnk po-
,iion at the suggestion OF the custom
house ring"
September, %, lS75.-''They (the
white people, have been governed By
brutal negroes and taxed out Of their
possessions TO support the scum Of D
invading soldiery; while the Federal
bayonets have pinned together the
walls Of thei prison, and the iron heel
of the Federal government has tram
pied upon their every effort 10 rise.
From such fate, Conservatism, and the
unity of the rhites under II, has rescued
this people of Virginia."
October 1, 1S75.-"And il IS just az
impossible 10 trail the white robes Of
Conservatism through the by-uays OF
Radlcalism, as it would be to keep clean
hands IN charcoal kiln, Or clean feet
IN a mud-puddle."
October 5. lS75-''It is one thing fol-
the Conservative organization founded
by ,chhe men tor the protection Of the
whites TO accept the votes OF negroes
40 believe that the intelligence efthe
Commonwealth should rule. 1t i,
quite another thing for men who seek
the disruption Of that srganization, and
who rebel against its mandates to seek
negro assistance to accomplish THEN
purpose. It's one thing for majority
of the white people 10 accept aid COM
ing from any source. 1t is another and
distinct matter that a majority Of the
sohites should rely on negro aid TO ocer'
come majority Of their sSn race"
October 7, lS75.-'Yet 10 day IN
Petersburg, in Virginia, there are those
willing to join hands with crew who
have only lacked opportunity to visit
upon us the ills which their brethren
have heapsd noun tain high upon the
helpless people Of less favored communl
ties. Even here We have had expert
ence enough TO give us a tercisste Ct
what to expect If the Radicals ever
achieve political supremacy"
October llh, 1S75.-"Do yon want
10 break up the Conservative ascendan-
cy In Petersburg, aud have negro police
( men, and carpet-bag officials, and an
irresponsible Council, and cOlOred teach
ers 10 the free schools"
October l5h.-''The Independent
programme as to Rldcalism: Endure !;
then pity, then embraced
October 1911 1875. when "BolteI'
claims to be Conservative and ystre-
lie. on Radical votes TOR success, how
can he have conscience void OF
offense? There must be fence to be-
straddled or he sould not be SO com
pletsly on both sides of it,"
October 2Oh ls65.-"Nay, more, they
(the Bolingites,) are willing to borrow
negrs assistance to accomplish this in
fanny to the State, aud then they clam
to be Conservatives, and ask white men
to vote with them"
N.vember 3, 1875. Nowhere through
all the broad limits OF the State, have
the good men aud true tailed to register
their verdict Of opposition to an Gle
mcnt OF this population which is incen'
diary and dangerous. Fer five years
and cvery,Ohere, the supremacy Of h'
party sustained by these black people,
has inuayiably resulted an plumber, op-
preston and tho social Lo,oering Of the
intelligent and cirtuOus citisen Orer whoDi
they lead usurped CONTROL"
What think the colored brethren and
what think the Republicans Of these
choice extractss they expose the resl
sentiments Of the man who is now seek
;no their votesf Let them read than
