DURING THE existence Of slavery in this

DURING THE existence OF slavery in this
country many slave owners, taught by ira
ditiop, history and personal experience,
prevented their slaves from joining the
church, for the reason that negroes who
were church members were worse than
those who were not, as they acted upon the
idea that the grace they attained by such
mem bership, If 1t did not warrant them IN
the commission OF all manner of crime' at
least exempted them from future punish
mept therefor. Nat Turner. the negro In
surrectionist, who murdered 30 many people
in Southampton county, in this State, was
negro preacher, who found warrant In his
bible for all his inhuman monstrosity,

bodied men and women, and leaving no
white life behind him In the charred and
bloody track ne made through that county.
1t is to be hoped that there are no more
Nat Turner's in Virginia. but that the me-
gro preachers of the State are not like
white preachers is plainly shown by the fol
Sowing extract from Richmond letter In

unfortunately, the exception proves the

New YORK, says:
1.-The republicans Of Virginia have
placed ia nomination for Governor
General Mahone. who does not disguise
the fact that he considers it too soon to give
colored republicans and equal chance in the
party with white men. The republicans Of
Mississippi have placed in Illumination Cen
eral James R Chalmers, whose massacre OF
coIored soldiers at Fort Pillow was one Of
the most infamous incidents of the war, and
who somersaulted into the republican party
afer bis disgraceful record as democratic
politician made his further preferment IN
that corrupt and disgracefuI party an impos-
sibility. The republican party of the South
is demoralizsd The petition of the colored
men in the South ia q pitiable one. They
should not be subjected to such test OF
their republican faith and principles.
Ifnegroes were like white people they would
not be in such pltiable political position
and would not be subjected to such tast Of
their republican faith. Sad experience,
however, proves that in politics. OF two
white men, one an intelligent and reputable
democrat, interested in the welfare OF the
community, and the other one an ignorant
aud vicious republican with no interest in
any thing but himself the negro will always
vote for the latter. 1t is his nature to
do 90. and nature can not be altered.

such men, having just conception of the

an oath as that referred to upon resident

gross Injustice in placing politician, who
never wss farmer. at the head of the de-
partment of agriculture" If that were the
only harm the administration has done the
farmers they would make little or no COM
plant. But its squandering of the Treasury
surplus, in order to make plausible excuse
for maintaining tax on every thing they
have to buy, and at the same time to restrict
the sale for their products to the over ssocK-
ed markets of this country is grievance
for which they have just cause to complain.
