c DOMINATION.

Since Col. T. B. Edinstou's eele
brated speech on the first of ia
month al the National cemetery uea
Memphis, some weak-kneed peOpl
have suddenly been struck with thu
fear of negro domination at some fu
ture day. Mr.. Edington's declara,
ton Of the rapid increase Of the ne
gro is greater than our Census au.
thoriles. That they increase, like
the poorer classes all oven the wnrld
especially IN hot countries may Jy
true, but that they bear any analogy

They DO not in oar opiuiou, multi.

L race their dispositions are the most
| iocile on the globe, a their conduct
iuriDR the war fully establishes. The
man in this country who fears negro
domination, must surely be hard up
fol something to be worried about.
| Unfortunately for the race, there Is
not an instance in history which
points ito their capacity for resolu-
tjou or leadership in times of emer-
r"ncy. The city OF home was AT one
time oyerrun with them, and as high
aS they ever got in the way Of stri6-
idg for their liberty was now and then
{ q XIII a master or t family, which
was always returned with ten fold
vengeLce. During TIA" period Of
\ l~olean'S Consol-hip, they killed
nd,assasinated their mastersatiHayli
and although nearly Il century has
passed, they are not ~ vel! off soci-
