weakened people have been suddenly
struck with the fear OF negro domination
at some future day. Mr.. Edgington's
declaration OF the rapid increase OF the
negro is greater than our census author
ICES. That they increase like the poorer
classes all over the world, especially in
hot countries, may be true, but that they
bear any analogy in fecundity TO the rab-
bits OF Australia, or their tempers to the
vicious little English sparrows are both
strained and somewhat unreliable. They
do not, in our opinion, multiply as fast as
during slavery, and rs race their
dispositions are the most docile on
the globe, AZ their conduct during
the late war fully establishes. The
man in this country who fears negro DOM
ination, must surely be hard up for some
thing to be worried about. Unfortunately
for the race, there is not an instance in
history which points to their capacity for
resolution, or leadership in times OF emer-
gency. The city OF Rome was at one time
overrun with them, and as high as they
ever got in the way Of striking for their
liberty was now and then TO kill a master
or a family, which was always returned
with tenfold vengeance. During the pc
riod OF Napoleon's Consulship they killed
and assassinated their masters at Hayti,
and, although nearly acentury has passed,
they are not as well off socially or in ma
terial advancement as when slaves
But we are told that education will
qualify them for averting the present order
OF things, and reach higher destiny as q
race. That education and wealth are the
mainsprings Of race or natural advance
ment we cheerfully admit, but making
wiser and richer does not argue that they
will DO the worse citizens. Having some
thing 10 protect and knowing how to pro-
tect II would render them more contented
and happy, and TO that no one can rea-
sonably object.
But in tho meantime are we to retro
grade in social, moral or physical power2
II we hold our level with the North and
West, and the refined civilization OF Eu-
rope, can we not cope with the negro in
all these necessary functions OF higher lie2
Our craftsmanship has been acknowledged
for half n century at home and in the cab
ineis OF Europe and Asia, our material
resources are almost boundless, our
proves has been displayed on
hundred bloody fields OF battle,
and what have we 10 fear at home or
abroad2 II We sit stupidity down and let
eight or ten millions Of Africans usurp our
birthrights we deserve inst such au igno-
lninous fate. Look at little Anglo-Saxon
England, from which we sprung domi-
mating perhaps one-third OF the earth with
her laws and constitutions, and ask II our
ancestral mother shall ever SEQ her Off
spring covering before any race or color?
The generation Of this Southland which
shall SEQ the negro dominating here will
be 30 near the end OF time that they will
SEQ the Archangel planting one foot on the
land and the other on the sea, ready 20
announce, in tones which shall roll in re-
verberating thunders around the globe,
that time is no more. In fine, away with
negro domination. Lot tho negro ques-
ton alone. II will settle itself as surely as
Jehoyah's hand is In il.

THE FOREIGN WIRE.
Emperor Joscph's Pacific Polio,


vienna, June 23.-Emperor Francis
Joseph, in receiving the delegations yes
terday, said that Austria's foreign rela-
tons and general foreign policy were
unchanged, and that she was in full agree
ment with her allies. The Government
he said, was doing its utmost 10 insure the
peaceful development of the European
situation, which was still unsafe. He
hoped the blessings OF peace would be
maintained, notwithstanding the fact that
ornaments were everywhere being in
creased. 1t was this increase OF arma.
ments that compelled Austria not
10 halt in the work of completing
means OF defense. Regarding Servia, the
Emperor said that Milan sregretable action
had given power, during the minority Of
his son, to regency The Government
had received from the regents formal
assurances that friendly relations with
Austria would be maintained. He con-
tinued; ~ wish the same, and hope the
wisdom and patriotism Of the Servians will
protect Servia from serious dangers. re-
joice that order and peace reign in Bull
garia, and am pleased at her continual pro-
gress in spite Of the difficult situation"
The Emperor closed by saying that the
special credits asked would be devoted to
strengthening the army.

had he dreamed of Van Buren, aiterward
breaking away from the party and setting
himself up as q Free Soil candidate
for the Presidency. And II was n
great sacrifice. The Wing party was,
as result OF il, for the first time Or
ganized in Tennessee, with John Bell,
Baltic Peyton, Hugh lawson White and
others as leaders, and tho old hero was
mortified, TO see the State 90 against tho
Democratic nominee. A further result
was the election for the next term OF Gen.
Harrison, who, dying, was succeeded by
Tyler who by his management Of public
affairs made Folks election possible.
Polk, who was known in the State rs Lit
tie Hickory" was a protege Of Jackson's,
who exerted all his influence 10 assure
his nomination and election. After Polk,

Democratic President, and no was sue
ceedcd by James Buchanan, OF Pcnnsyl.
vania. OF all the Presidents, New York
has furnished but four, and two Of these,
Fillmore and Arthur, succeeded to the
chair on the death, the first Of Taylor and
the latter OF Garfield. Since the war New
York has furnished every Democratic
nominee for the Presidency, only one Of
them, Grover Cleveland, in 1884, being
elected. And he went in by scratch,
by majority Of 1900 and even that
was disputed by the Republicans. The
Republicans have never even so much
as mentioned New Workers In their Ma
tional Conventions. Illinois furnished tho
two strongest OF their candidates. Lin
coin and Grant, and Ohio two, Hayes
and Garfield. and Indiana one, lIar-
rison. Besides these, Gen. Logan, Of ILL
nois, was strong candidate up 10 his
death, and Mr. Blaine, OF Maine, was an
other. There is not Republican In New
York today whom that party would
think Of running rs n candidate, and il
would not think Of conciiatng the vote OF
that State by ncglecIing the West. That
they have gained by this policy is readily
TO be seem M the Democrats havo only
once, IN the person Of Cleveland, broken
in upon the uniformity OF their rule. This
is tho lesson from the political history Of
the country that the Democrats have TO

would lie the hight Of folly to begin the

no other recognition, political or national, }
