THE COLoRED VoTE.-The Nation, one
of the most conservative, and judiciously
managed journals in the North, thinks the
colored vote, as shown by the late local
State elections, will hereafter be divided
between the two opposing parties, and not,
as formerly, be cast from the standpoint of
race prejudice. They have learned that
the administration of the Government by
the Democrats is just as well, if not better
for them, than by the Republicans, as
they have in it full contradiction of the
statements that the Democrats would inter
fere with their freedom and rights as citi-
zens, but they find them strong protectors
and defenders of their rights as citizens.
The white people of the South, who
are mostly Democrats, have been their
truest friends since their freedom. They
have taxed themselves to educate their
children and have given them employment,
and have done for them all that could rea-
sonably be desired, and now, they have a
positive demonstration that under Demo
cratic Administration they are protected in
all their rights. If they are reasonable,
they will in future vote for principle and
not from prejudice. Washing

CATCHING AT STRAws.-The Republi-
caus of Wythe have held their little pow
WOW and appointed Their delegates to the
Boss's convention in July. They unani-
mously adopted resolution denouncing
the Virginia Democracy for multitude of
grievous sins, both of omission and COM
mission, but the meanest thing they have
done yet was to so violently denounce it
for its friendship to the internal revenue
laws. We were not at all surprised when
they denounced the Democracy for allow
ing the worms of last year to destroy our
grass and grain, and for suffering the
drouth Of last fall to parch our fields, and
the freezes of the winter to kill our wheat,
for we thought they might find some will
ling vessels weak enough to believe that
Mr.. Cleveland and the Democrats are bent
upon the destruction of this country by
famine and pestilence. But we had never
supposed they would be brought to such a
strait as 10 try to pack the sins that sent
them to destruction in the face of all the
world, upon the heads of the innocent

AssAILING THE NEGRoEs.-We have Of
ten warned the Negroes of the South that
their Republican friends at the North would
turn against them, and the prediction holds
good, for their former allies are now trying
to infiame the working classes against the
colored people. They are denounced as pau
pers and are held up to execration as
competitors of Northern workingmen. The
next thing will be an assault on he:politi-
cal privileges of the Negroes, and the day is
close at hand when their only friends will
be among the Democrats. Let our colored
readers watch the drift of affairs and they
will soon see that their hopes of the future
are bound up with those of the reputable
white voters of the South, and especially
with those of the good people Of Virginia.
