TALK TO THE FEEEDMEN-
The manifest incapacity of this class of
our population to exercise
the elective franchise, which has been thrust
upon them by the folly of Radicalism, has
caused many to turn with disgust from the
entire race as being beyond the reach of proper
instruction. Thus left to themselves in abso
lute ignorance of what voting means, it is not
strange that they have fallen easily into the
traps prepared for them by Radical emissaries
and designing men of our own section. Many
of them are so inflated with ignorance and
vanity that they will follow their deceivers to
their own destruction regardless of the efforts
of their only real friends, the Southern white
people, to teach them the right course; but
there are some of them who retain enough of
reason to wish to learn what is right, and who
would be glad to be taught their duty by their
friends who have never deceived them. Such
should be told honestly that their interest is
involved in the prosperity of the white people
who live here. The negroes have no friends
who will give them employment, but the white
residents of the country. Ihe radicals are
not going to stay here with the negroes, and
in the States where they will go when they
have robbed our people all they can, they will
not allow the negroes to follow them.
They have not fulfilled their promises to give
the negroes land and mules; but they have
wrested from them the last dime they could,
under all manner of false pretenses. They
allowed the negroes scats in the Legislature
with them until they had used them to secure
the offices to their pets ; now they seek to ex
pel them. Cannot the negroes sec their dis
honesty in this? They hold that negroes are
competent to elect them to office, but they do
not think negroes should hold office. Yet they
were willing to let them sit in the Legislature
until they were done using them. l)o the
negroes think this shows a kind disposition
toward them?
The question of conceding the right of ne
cro suffrage is not open for discussion. Right
or wrong, they have the ballot, and it is no
more Jiuwiliating to endeavor to show them
what to do with it, than to allow them to be
misled by their enemies and ours. We con
cede nothing in telling them the truth, that
their interests and ours are the same. Tell
them it is not our object to reduce them again
to slavery. Show them that we must’live in
friendship, or their race must give up the
country, as the Indians have done. Those
who urge them to oppose the white race are
therefore urging them to their own ruin.—
Prove to them that they must make friends of
the owners of the land, if they wish to live here.
And particularly assure them protection in
doing right; and see that those who are dispos
ed to act in concert with us, are not intimidated
by base negroes or baser white men, who have
left their own race and the path of right, to ele*
vate themselves on the ruin of the ignorant
negroes. It is useless to reason with them in
a strain above their comprehension ; but they
can understand every-day facts such as enor
mous prices Radicalism makes thorn pay for
all they buy, while it reduce* the price of all
they sell. Show them these things, and be
with them at the polls, and they can be con
trolled for tlie right.
Greeley Alarmed.
In a contribution to the Independent, Horace
Greeley says: ‘‘Men and Brethren! We
must carry Connecticut, New York, New Jer -
sey and Pennsylvania for Grant and Colfax;
With these—or even all of them—there can be
no mistake as to the result. Without at least
least two of them, All is in doubt’'
llow innocently Horace talks! lie knows
that his party has not the ghost of a chance
to carry the States mentioned at tho ballot
box ; but he pretends to think that the Radi
cals hope to succeed by the vote of the people.
The real object is to perpetuate that madness
which has enabled them to control the country
since 18f>0, but which they know is now rap
idl/rljing out. They cannot conceal their
foul's, and the victory is almost achieved when
the-enemy acknoweledge their terror.
A business letter from New Orleans to a
gentleman in Atlanta, referring to the political
situation, says “I am glad to inform you that
I have never known such a change ia the col
ored population as has taken place hero in the
last month. I don’t think there will be one
sixth of the negro voters who will vote the
itoaWl ticket in November in Louisiana and
Mississippi.
Legislative.
, The proceedings of the Legislature amount
to doing nothing at nine dollars a day. They
have been amusing themselves testing the
eligibility of the negro members since they
havo no further need of their votes to secure
the election of white radicals to office. Os
course the Honorable negro members object
to being ejected, as they find it more agreeable
to hold their seats at the wages of Legislators,
than to work in the cotton fields. The Speaker
decided that the negroes should have unlimited
time to speak in their own defense ; as it was
manifest that they meant to speak to the end
of time they were limited to one hour each.
The following is a sample speech in defense of
the right of the negroes to hold seats:
Mr. Clower, (colored,) took the stump to
‘inaugurate some new ideas.” Mr. Speaker,
dis is a oncoustitutional question. I never
thought I'd evor be a lawyer, but I'm here
etudin law in do Ledislatur hall. I larns law
here. You wants to turn us out on de same
reason dat you use to turn us outo’de kitchen,
Black color is do puttiest color in de world.—
Why do you war black close ? Because yju
know, gemmen, its de puttiest color. Talk
about color. Didn't you kiss de same Bible
what I did, when we took de oaf. Gemmen,
yon got to cum up an facede music ; you can’t
dance back’ard. I tink de gemmen from Floyd
will wifdraw his resolution when I git done
here. I'se always been a nigger sharp enough
to make a fortune, and you can’t fool dis nig
ger. I don’t keer ’bout what your price is hero
a day to make laws. (Just here a message
from the Senate was received in reference to
its action on the Usury bill Glower remarked
that he had hoped it was a bill hi “release de
niggers.”] He proceeded. I don t keer es
I had not been in de New' Nited States but one
day ; I’se a citizen, and am ’titled to a seat
here. Yar better be makin’ laws to protect us
poor people ; de Ku Kluxes is about to git us
already. I ripresent two thousand people
here, “w ho am de very damsel of de eye.”
I done worked in de field and educated all dese
white folks' Indies, and now claim a seat here
to make laws for de education of de colored
ladies, and you say I aint got no right here.
Wbv, gemmen, de idea is obstitule. You come
up here wid a little ole resolution, dat aint
wuss a fly, to try to ’spell us. If you do dat.
I’ll git my hat and go to de door, and tell you
I'm gwine away to “prepare a way fur my
people,” in de language of de postles, I’ll
come back agin, shore. Stop, white folks, and
take up dat ting off de table, [meaning the
resolution] and fro it away. I’se guinc to talk
till you wifdraw it. When I go, I don’t want
no Dimicrut to take my seat; I want it again.
Coming out from Among Them.
We clip the following article from the Savan
nah News <£• Herald. Speaking of the gentle
men who recently declined to have their
names published as Radical Electors on the
Grant and Colfax ticket, that paper of the 30th
ult., says:
“Judge E. N. Harden, of Cutlibert, has not
only declined to allow the use of his name as
a Grant elector, but has come out decidedly in
support of Seymour and Blair. A few days
ago Hon. W. W. Boyd, of Dahlonega, another
nominee on the Grant ticket announced his
intention to support the Democratic candidates
for President and Vice-President. We have
already announced the refusal of Col. Aaron
Wilbur to be a candidate for’elector on the
Radical ticket. Thus three gentlemen, one
third of Ihe whole number of electors
on their ticket have repudiated their nomina-*
tion.
We now call upon tho scalawag organs 'who
are pillowing the names of those gentlemen
under the editorial heads, in company with
such charactersas Bryant, Iligbee, Farrow and
others, to do them the simple justice of with
drawing them from a position which they re
fuse to occupy. If the editors of those papers
have no regard for truth they should at least
take care not to lay themselves liable to an
action for defamation of character. It would
be a nice question for a jury, the assessment
of a just amount of damages for parading &
gentleman’s name in large capitals as the
elector on the Radical electoral ticket.”
Reconstruction in Arkansas. —We" learn
from the Helena (Ark.) Clarion that Phillips
county has been thoroughly reconstructed,
under the new carpet-bag constitution now in
operation in that State. All of the’old incum
bents in office have been displaced, and their
places filled by the miserable scalawags and
carpet-baggers, for whose special benefit the
State government has been reorganized. The
office of Circuit Judge has been filled by the
appointment of one Captaiu Bennett, belong
ing to the staff of the commanding General;
an officer of the Freodmcn's Bureau is County
and Circuit Court Clerk, and the county asses
sor is a negro. The representative in the
Legislature from the same county, the mem
bers of which are elected by the people for
five years, is a negro, who, in addition to his
legislative honors, heads the State Radical
ticket as Elector for the State at large.
The free institutions of a country when lost
have ever been wrested away after the termi
nation of civil war when the party in power
began the work of proscribing tho minority and
perpetuating its own supremacy. A military
leader has ever been, chosen to the highest civil
position; and under color of superior patriotism
and virtue, the work of self aggrandisement
and corruption lia6 gone on until the liberties
of the state were overthrown.
A Caruet-Bagob* Defined. — A genuine
carpet-bagger is thus imam by the Charleston
Mercury :
“A man with a lank head of dry tour—a
lank stomach and long legs, club knees and
splay feet, dried legs and lank jaws, with
eves like a fish and a mouth like a shark.—
Add to this, a habit of sneaking and dodging
about in unknown places—habiting and co
habiting with negroes in dark dens and back
streets—a look like a honnd and the smell of
a skunk. He would rob a dead negro and
forge his deed father's name to a draft for five
dollars.
The Grant Mollification at Council Bluff.
In proof of w hat we have said concerning
the shabby reception given to Hiram Ulysses
by the Black Republicans of Council Bluff, on
Tuesday last—in fact no reception at all—wc
subjoin the following from the Jacobin organ
in this city, of yesterday. The Nonpareil
says: "
“As they passed through Broadway, Gen.
Grant acknowledged the salutes of thqse who
had come out to welcome him. THERE WAS
NO LOUD CHEERING NOR UNBECOMING
BEHAVIOR ON TIIE PART OF THE
CROWD. It was known that these Generals
were on a tour of business and not of sensation.
The characteristic quietness of General Grant,
and his desire to escape unnecessary show was
respected by our citizens who permitted him to
pass among them with the dignity which is peeu
liar to him. The profound respect which this
genuine man, great leader and prospective
President inspires among the people, was
shown by them in the salutes and greetings
which they gave him as he rode through their
midst. Ilad the occasion been proper and
hail the heroes of the day courted demonstra
tion, our people could have rent the air with
cheers for the leveler of Richmond, the explor
er of Georgia, and the hero of the Shenandoah.”
A correct newspaper account of this affair
would scarcely be believed by the people
abroad, were it not endorsed as above by a
Jacobin organ. When it is considered that
prominence was given by the press of the eity
concerning the hour of his arrival; that Coun
cil Bluffs lias a population of about twelve
thousand ; that Grant and his party were in
the heart of the city ; that there were not three
dozen persons present to welcome him ; that
there was no “welcome” either in words or
by the raising of hats, except by one individual
who bowed to the “genuine man,” a correct
idea may be formed elsewhere of the mortifi
cation which the General aud his friends felt
on the occasion. Grant is dead before the
people, and the doom of Black Republicanism
is manifest on all sides ! Thank God that its
day of infamy is setting in a hopeless sky,
never again to dawn!— Council Bluffs Demo
crat.
“Suppose.” —Suppose Seymour and Blair
should be elected. Suppose Seymour should
die or be “put out of the way,” rebel fashion.
Suppose Frank Blair, the candidate of the
rebels, should then, as he would, become Pres
ident.—Seneca Falls (N. 17,) Courier.
Suppose your grandmother was your grand
father. Suppose the big elephant at Albany
was a mastodon. Suppose Ben Butler was an
honest man. Suppose you were about as smart
as Horace Greeley, or knew half as much as
you think you know. Suppose the moon was
made of green cheese, and you were a skipper
and had your home there. Suppose (just for
fun) that Grant should join the temperance
society, and stop talking horse. Suppose the
great “snaik” in Tennessee was a tad pole all
covered with chicken feathers. Suppose you
were arrested for knowing more than the law
allows, or because your ears are too long.—
What then, eh?— N Y. Recorder tfe Democrat.
Suppose travelers were robbed and murder
ed by’ honest men, and thieves and murderers
were all*houest and peaceable citizens—sup
pose the sun should rise in the West and set
in the East —suppose every imaginable impos
sibility—and then you may bo prepared to
suppose Radicals to be actuated by honest
patriotism ; but by no imaginable stretch of
credulity can the people suppose that those
fifteen hundred millions of dollars they have
paid in taxes since the war closed have been
honestly applied to the payment of the na
tional debt. Do the Radicals suppose the
people have any common sense?
During the second session of the 40th Con
gress there were 2,786 penknives distributed
among the members of the House, at a cost of
$5,550, or p,t. a cost of over $2 each. There
were 194 members of that body, thus making
fourteen knives and a fraction to each member,
or about S3O for each member in penknives
during one session of Congress.
A Clean Sweep in the North if the South
is Peaceful. —A letter to an influential gen
tleman in New Orleans, from a friend in New
York, speaks in strong terms of the necessity
of preserving the peace under all circumstances
throughout the South, and especially in New
Orleans, The provocations may be great, but
they will only be temporary as to duration or
effect. Before the close of November, Radical
power will be virtually at an end. The letter
goes on ta say: “We are certain of electing
Seymour without the vote of a single Southern
State, hut with trouble in New Orleans we will
be seriously damaged in the North. * * *
Pennsylvania will give us a clear majority of
40,000, which will settle Indiana, Illinois and
the remainder of the West. Doolittle writes
that he is amazed at the change in Wisconsin.
Be of good cheer, as day is breaking. Cheer
ing news of this nature is brought us from all
points of the compass. Grant stock is con
stantly going down.”
Well Told. —The next morning the judge
of the police court sent for me. I went down
and he received me very kindly, had heard of
the wonderful things I had accomplished by
knocking down five persons, said I was a prom
ising young man, and all that. Then he
offered a toast “ guilty or not guilty.” I
responded in a brief but eloquent speech,
setting forth the importance of the occasion
that had brought us together. Alter the usual
ceremonies I was requested to loan the city
ten dollars.
Congress at its last session voted 1,000
Springfield muskets to each Congressional
District. lion. Horatio Seymour wisely and
significantly remarks: “Never before in the
history the country has Congress thus ta
ken a inenwsing attitude toward its electors,
and it is thereto** not strange that thoughtful
men see in such stetson the proof that the
| radicals are actuated by strouger motives than
I the mere desire for power, that there is a dread
] of some exposure which drives there to acts
i so desperate and so impolitic. ”
[From the Atlanta Constitution.]
A Letter from Gen. Blair.
A RADICAL LIE NAILED TO THE COUNTER.
Col. R. A. Alston, wrote to Gen. Blair, en
closing a copy of the “Atlanta New Era. and
referring the General to the lines at the head
of that paper, in which he quotes General
Grant as saying “Let us have Peace,” and
General Blair as saying “Lotus have Mur.
He received the following letter in reply,
which will show to the people how unblush
ingly the Radical press persists in falsehood, to
accomplish its wicked purposes of destroying
this Government:
Fort Saunders, Wyoming Territory. )
August 18, 1868. j
Col. Jl. A. Alston, Atlanta , Ga.— Dear Sir :
Your note in regard to the misrepresentations
of the carpet-bag editor at Atlanta received.
This is the business for which he is paid and
by which he makes his living. I would not
advise you or any other gentleman to notice
him in any manner, except to correct, through
the press, any falsehood which you may con
sider injurious to our cause.
I have never made any such statement as ho
attributes to me. On the contrary, lam for
that policy whtch alone can gice peace to the
country; and although Gen. Grant says “let
us have peace,” ho seeks to achieve it only by
the military power and actual war on the
principles of the Government.
Yours truly,
Frank P, Blair.
Choose Between them.
Seymour and the regulation of the suffrage
by the people of the States; Grant and Con
gressional enforcement of negro suffrage.
Which will you have ?
Seymour and the abolition of the Internal
Revenue swindle; Grant and Wasbburne's
swarms of office-holders.
Seymour and civil liberty; Grant and des
potism.
Seymourand restoration ; Grant and destruc
tion.
Seymour and white supremacy ; Grant and
negro domination in ten States of the Union.
Seymour and economy ; Grant and Wash
burne's hands in the Treasury.
Seymour and the abolition of the Freed
men's bureau ; Grant and the maintenance of
four millions of blacks at the expense of the
North.
Make your choice !
How to Entertain Guests. —I pray von,
O excellent wife, not to cumber yourself arid
me to get a rich dinner for this man or this
woman, who has alighted at our gate nor a
bed chamber made ready at too great a cost.—
These things, if they are curious in, they can
get for a dollar at any village.
But lot this stranger see, if he will, in your
looks, in your accent and behavior, your heart
and earnestness, your thought and will, what he
cannot buy at any price, at any village or city
and whieh he may well travel fifty miles, nnd
dine sparely, and sleep hard, in order to behold.
Certainly, let the buard bo spread and the
bed be dressed for the traveler; but let the
emphasis of hospitality be in these things.—
Honor to the house where they are simple to
the verge of hardship, so that the intellect is
awake nnd sees the laws of the universe, the
soul worships truth and love ; honor and cour
tesy flow into all deeds.
The Rads give it up that, of the Cabinet at
least, Randall, Browning McCulloch and Welles
are in favor of Seymour, while Seward
and Schofield are against Grant and Colfax.—
It cost them many tears to see an old leader
like Seward deserting them, and they have a
queer way of chronicling his departure.
[ Richmond Enquirer.
Best Book for Everybody. —The new illus
trated edition of Webster’s Dictions) y, con
taining three thousand engravings, is the
best book for everybody that the press lias pro
duced in the present century, nnd should be
regarded as indispensable to the well-regula
ted home, reading-room, library, and place of
business.— San Francisco Golden Era.
Look at the Radical humbug. That party
does not claim that the reconstruction acts are
constitutional. It did not dare to have the
question decided by the Supreme Court, with
Chief-Justice Chase at its head. The party
leader, Thad Stevens, boldly announced
that the whole reconstruction legislation was
“outside the Constitution.” Congress admit
ted the same when it tried to intimidate the
Supreme Court. These acts were revolution
ary. This ground has been taken by the De
mocratic party, and by a large share of the
Radical party. And now the Radical organs
are whining about this. The question will be
decided in December, and the Democratic par
ty will follow that. If reconstruction is uncon
stitutional, it will be wiped out as it should be.
Let the Supreme Court decide.
A Southern gentleman told us the other day
the reason the Southern people loved Beast
Butler—“ Where their treasure is, there shall
the heart he also.”
An old darkey in Alabama while watching
the monkeys in a menagerie spoke thusly :
“Dem children got too much sense to couie out
dat cage ; white folks cut their tails off, and
set ’em to votin' and makin’ Constitewtions.”
"When a Radical is asked what is the cause
of the prostration of trade, the derangement
of commerce, the high price of gold, and the
general decline of the national credit, ho» ex
claims: “Let us have peace.” In order to se
cure this inestimable blessing, his party places
loaded muskets in the hands of a negro mili
tary company and tells its members, in march
ing along a crowded thoroughfare, if anything
occurs to displease the colored brethren, to lire
at once into the throng on the sidewalks, and
kill any honest pedestrians whS may ho fool
ishly exposing thoir persons. This is Radical
“peace.”— J’hil. Age,
lladiculs Bead.
The white men of the Southern States have
said to the negroes that, if they should vote
for the carpet-baggers in the coming eioctions,
they must look to the carpet-baggers for em
ployment. In other words, that a difference
in political opinions, and an expression of it
at the ballot-box, would be hold as a good rea
son for refusing to give them work by their old
masters.
For this the planters have been severely
denounced by the Jacobin press. Such tactics
to control the votes of workingmen cannot be
justified in an ordinary state of society. It
is a matter for debate whether the crimes of
the reconstruction infamy will justify them.
However this may be, there arc a few ques
tions bearing on this point which are respect
fully submitted to the black-nnd-tau party.
Did Edwin M. Stanton, when Secretary of
War, furnish transportation to wounded Re
publican soldiers to return home and vote, and
did he refuse transportation to wounded Dem
ocratic soldiers unless they would pledge
themselves to vote the Republican ticket ?
Wero the operatives in New England mills
having contracts with the government, threat
ened by government agents with discharge
unless they should vote the Republican ticket?
Did Jacobin newspapers at that time protest
against such proscription and cruelty ?—Chi
cago Times.
The Radical papers spend a great deal of ink
aud try to make a great deal of capital
about what such Southern men as Hampton,
Cobb, Toombs, &c., said down South. That is
till “played out.” YVhat have you Radicals
done, and what do you propose to keep on
doing, is the question now before the poeple !
As to what men say, whose hands are fet
tered and “life’s light lied away,” makes no
difference. We are after what men have done
who have been free to do what they would.

Advantage of Years. — You are getting into
years. Yes, but the years aro getting into yon*
the ripe, rich years, the genial mellow years,
the lusty, luscious years. One by one of the
crudities of your youth are falling off from
you—the vanity, the uncertainty. Nearer and
nearer you are approaching yourself. You
are consolidating your forces. You are becom -
ing master of jouj situation. Or the ruins of
shattered plans you find your vantage ground.
Your broken hones, your thwarted purposes,
your defeated aspirations, become a staff of
strength by which you mount to subliiner
heights. With self-possession and self-com
mand of all things, the title deed of creation,
forfeited, is reclaimed. The king has come to
his own again. Earth and sea and sky pour
out their largess of love. All the clouds pass
down to lay their treasure at your feet.
’l'iie Radical Press Repudiating the Car

the House from large Southern States that do
not contain one man reputable in private life,

what we are to do with these creatures,” ex
claimed one of the leading members of the
Republican party, and one of the most promi

out character at home ; they havo not very
much hope of retaining their hold on their
districts after their first election ; and a good
many of them are sure to go in for making
the most they can out of their positions while
they have them.” We certainly have got a
very large elephant upon our hands.— Cincin

—The Atlanta Constitution says a certain indi
vidual now in Atlanta, than whom no one has
played a more prominent part in the Negro-
Radical usurpation scheme, threatens to ex
pose the enormities of his party. He claims
to have it in bjack and white, that Gordon
beat Bullock 6,000 votes for Governor ; that
he has sacrificed his honor and self-respect in
the service of the Radical party ; that instead
of being rewarded according to his deserts,
by those whom he lifted to power, he.has been
given the cold shoulder and incontinently
shelved ; that he is determined to stand it no
longer, and finally, that if the Ile-eow docs
not do something for him, and do it “right
quick,” lie intends to throw such a bombshell
into his pen as will turn his horns tailwards.

Democratic Enthusiasm. —From all quar

Rumored Defalcation by a Southern Col
lector.—The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald says: “There is a large
defalcation, anuunting to many thousands,

Collector of a Southern port who has recently
been superseded. The discovery was made by
the officer who succeeded him. The amount is
fixed at $200,000, but this is evidently much
exaggerated.”
Those Illesseil Kesnlts.
The great argument of the Radicals seems to
be this:
Grant is not elected the results of the
late war will be lost.
The results which these precious patriots are
so anxious to keep, may be catalogued as fol
lows :
Negro outrages in tho South.
Stealing and defaulting by Government offi
cers.
Enormous taxation.
An overwhclnming public debt.
High prices for all the necessaries of life.
A depreciated currency.
A general stagnation in business.
A total lack of confidence in Government.
And a Pandora’s box fifll of social and polit
ical evils, all growing out of the .'ate war.
Those who wish to preserve these results,
and multiply thorn year by year, will vote for
Grant. — Ex.
