The immediate restoration of all the States to their rights in the Union under the Constitu tion, and of civil government to the American people. 2u.

In the last six j weeks the negro troubles have been many and | in nearly every Southern State. At Millican, Texas, the riot was on so extended a scale that it amounted to a local war. 1 be public had j not ceased to talk of this affair ere the Mobile negroes tried their hands at breaking the peace in attempting to seize the street cars and ride with the whites. The click of the telegraph conveying this news had just died away when tlie Macon negroes assaulted, with intent to murder, two unoffending white citizens and threatened to burn down houses and residences in the city. Upon the heels of these occur rences the blacks in Jones, Fulton and Sumter counties began their nightly drills, thoroughly armed and equipped as if for a campaign. The letter from Houston, copied from, the Macon Telegraph, tells of a deplorable state of affairs between the whites and blacks of that locality. These facts portend something. Either lhe Northern Radicals, famishing for Southern riots, are instigating the negroes to these deeds of lawlessness, with tlie design to provoke re sistance from the whites and making political capital out of such action on our part, or the negroes are naturally impatient of restraint and disposed to take all differences between blacks and whites into their ovvd hands, and summarily override the rights of the whites, regardless of law or justice. Either the ne groes or Radicals, or both together, are charg- able with these outbreaks, and we incline to j aIli ’^'^ ^ 1C the opinion that the latter supposition, viz: the Radical leaders are seeking to provoke riots, and the negroes are more than anxious to be come their instrument?, is col lect. The Southern blacks are semi-barbarous, blindly prejudiced against their white neigh bors, and by instinct disposed to override law and protect the evil-doers of their race in tlie perpetration of crime. Even in Nevvnan the arrest and trial of a negro, it matters not how notoriously guilty he may be, will attract to the Court-house hundreds of his race. The black spectators on such occasions seem moved by an earnest desire for the acquittal ot the prisoner, and lrovvn even though a guilty black is convicted. Now, under these circumstances, what is the j manifest duty of the whites / Evidently it is, to bk iti:adv fur the approaching day <>f trouble. The Kartlcals have willing tools, and both com bined will not fail t,, provoke outbreaks. With out Radical instigation the negroes will linini- Nkw York. July 16, 18G8.

This will truly “subvert our form of Government, aud can only end in a single centralized con solidated Government, in which the separate ‘Griffin, of Houston, said ne was for the success oi his party, and nominated Amos T.

In demanding these measures and reforms, we arraign ’the Radical party for the disregard of right, and the unparalleled oppression and tyran ny which have marked its career. 'After the most solemn and unanimous pledge of both Houses of Congress to prosecute tne w ar exclusively for the maintenance of the govern ment and*the preservation of the Union under the Constitution, it bus repeatedly violated that must sacred pledge under which was rallied that noble volunteer army which carried our ring to victory. Instead of restoring the Union, it has, so far as was in its power, dissolved it, and subjected ten States in a t ne of profound peace to military despotism and i gvo supremacy. It has nullitie me right of trial by jury. It lias abolished the writ of habeas corpus— that most sacred writ of liberty. It has overthrown the freedom of speech and cessity ; but it being inevitable no wise man ! should fail to be ready. We cannot close this article without seeking i i to impress upon the minds of our white readers | the extreme pnpriety of avoiding difficulties, and attempting to have law, justice and reason for all they do. The Radicals would pay millions i for a Southern riot just now, and we must j seek to avoid them ; and the only way to ac- j complish this is to let the negroes know you are prepared. Don't strike until forced, and then strike with till the power ami skill God has given you. We feel slmeked as we write such warning aud advice to the whites ■ >f tiie South, but before God the Radical party has made it necessary. We charge home upon them all riots, distur bances and blood occurring or shed in the South, and they will be held accountable there for in the great day.
