prevent my being the coodidate. I fought stead

The South in Cb nos ess. —The National Intel
ligencer gives the following amusing account of
the sensation produced at Jie entree of Dewe.s,
of North Carolina, upon th ■ arena of Congress
ional debate:
The most amusing speed, of ths day, howev
er, was made by Mr. Dewees, a North Carolina
carpet bagger, who left his own proper seat and
went over to the Radical side of the House in or
der to air his vocabulary. This place he was
routed from, and so be want over to the Clerk's
table, and there commenced his recitation, which,
to say the least, was extraordinary. This car
pet-bagger looked Intensely professional and
though he did not have hie car
pet-bag in hand. He was red in the face, small
in statue, bobbed his head vigorously, like a pen
dulum, backwards and forwards, and showed a
contempt for Zjndlhy Murray only equal to his
solicitude tor arms and loyalty. He dwelt re
peatedly upon “NortlTcfrC and men.”

Conciliation.— We think it the best policy
now, tor our public speakers to discuss all politi’
cal questions in the spirit o! ‘ wisdom, justice
and moderati'mGive the true history of the
wrongs practiced and meditated—expose bat
corruption and wicked plots of those in power,
with all the clearness practicable, but cease de
nunciatiun of men who may have erred on the
late questions of “relief,” and who are now made
sensible of the fact that they have been duped
and betrayed by designing partisans. We want
the votes of the colored citizens to be given
against those who have betrayed them into a
false position of antagonism to the white people
of tile South. We want the colored to under
stand that their true interests are identified with
the whites, and that it is their best course to
eschew politics and give up the reigns of govern
ment to the white race, to whom it belongs
Moderate discussion and plain talk with these
people is therefore the doty of the Democratic
speakers. By such a course we can redeem old
Georgia from the corse of Radicalism hr all
time to come; whereas, by denunciation and
strong invective, the cause of tru.h and justice
will be delayed, if not defeated.
In these rematks we do not allnde to tbe
course to be pursued towards the majority in
Congress who have for months been trying to
overthrow republican government. To them we
would have no mercy shown while they remain
impenitent. They are malefactors who onght
to be made to expatriate their crimes st the end
of s rope. Nor do we allude to those vile mis
creants whose mission it is to stir up strile and
provoke to deeds of blood—tho scalawag editors
and Judases of tbe age—who work for the
thirty pieces of silver. Give these no quarter,
for they deserve none.— Georgia citizen.

Gen H E McCay* Opinion*
As General H. E. McCay is a hanger on at
Atlanta, seeking- a place on the supreme Bench
of Georgia, I think it right and proper that Gov.
Bullock, the appointing power, should know in
advance the extreme fanatical viewsof Qenetal
McCay. He said at last Lee Superior Court, in
th« presence of Mrs. Ann Mercer, Adam R.
Brown, Esq., of Araericus, and several others
that Moses married a negress, and that if any one
would take the pains to trace the genealogy of
Jesus Christ, they would see He decended from
a negro; that the negro race was superior physi
cally to the white, and that when they became
as well educated and cultivated as the white
race, thev would tower as high above the white
race intellectually ns thawhite race is now nbove
them. Mr. Brown States to your correspondent
that be will make oath at any time to the above
facts. Mrs. Mercer is a very pious lady, and told
Mr Brown next morning that Mr. McOav was s
talented man, and that his remarks the night be
fore, had caused her a sleepless nig|)t. I bare
conversed with ‘ one gentlemen of deservedly
high character in this city, to whom Mr. Brown
referred me as being present st the time when
General McCay made these statements, and ask
ed the gentlemen, “ W ere you present; and did
you hear Mr. McCay say so 1” The reply was,
“He (McCay) will Dot deny it." Can it bo possi
ble that a RadicaljGovernor and a Radical Senate
of Georgia, will honor with tbe highest judicial
place known to our Constitution and laws, such 4
fanatic, miscegenator. and traducer of his own
and elevator ofjtlie African race I If so, Ist hit*
be "Antbema Maranatha.” Yebitas. f
The application of the epithet “rebel" and "re
bel sympathizer” to either of the great political
parties or sections of this country, can never ba
used by a intelligent writer or speaker without!
a consciousness that it is false, and without a !
a comtempt of the understanding of those to
whom it is addressed. Is there any in the coun
try who defies or seeks to overthrow the autho
rity of its government I If not, there are no re
bels here. When a rebellion is put down in oth
er parts of the world, even in Russia, the con
querors cease to speak of the party subjugated
as rebel* If there were no other reason, their
pride of victory would prevent them from oon
ceding, by the use of such an expression, that
they had failed to put down resistance to the au
thority of their government. If that it net what
the Radicals mean by the use of the term, let
them employ language that conveys what they
do mean. There are no rebels in this country
now—meaning by that term men who resist the
authority of the United States. There are plen
ty of men, however including probably a large
majority of the whole population, who are rebels
in the Radical sense; that is, men who do not be
lieve in Radicalism. But wllhl au insult it is to
our country to esll that rebellion, thereby stig
