: vo d us firmly that no step forward "•' 'llld he attempted beyond that point, ' v j particularly ' scouted the idea of Z-Jequality ever being “tried on.” ‘V ]as » for the fallacy of human judg- 7 fln ts- especially, such miserable judg -1 ts ’ as mine ! The questions of y aa) j t y have been swallowed clean out f shdit by the thousand times more Momentous one of Supremacy ! Within H \vook, the poisonous seed of Radicalism, \vhieli has been so long rotting beneath lir fret, has burst forth, germinated, i,-rovvn to a monstrous Upas, and sudden \x mattered in our midst its legitimate fruits of Bloodshed and Death. Notwithstanding the long established fy.jjgf 0 f all simple-minded people, backed , ) } y |}, e assertions of the profoundest philosophers, that the Almighty has created “no two things equal,” our modern Optimists of the enlightened Nineteenth Century insist that all races of men are equal , and they are now trying to prove their proposition by force. We of the South cannot avoid the con test, and I believe we are ready for it, ,ur chief anxiety being that the issue should come as quickly as possible, and the question be settled forever. So far, the only thing proven, is the immense superiority of the Negro over the cowardly race of Puritan Scalawags. In every encounter, up to this time, the dusky African hits made, at least, some show of standing up for his race, while his white-livered Radical Confederate has uniformly dodged into his bomb-proof den at the first show of danger. The Blacks, conscious of their superi ority over this class, naturally hope to establish their control over all white lolks; but, I am persuaded, if these few pale-faced mischief-makers were put out of the way, the Negroes would have sense enough to “confess judgment,” and sub side into their proper position. So mote it be. All the bloody events in this city and vicinity, the past week, are believed to be the well-calculated results of Radical plots to incite riots, at whatever cost, as an excuse for re-establishing Martial Law, and thus pin vent a valid election in the State. It remains for the people of the North and West to say whether this out rage shall be perpetrated, or not; for ice are, politically, as powerless as ever, ex cept to the extent of protesting against tiic wrong. If they permit and counte nance our continued oppression, they will learn, when too late, that they have only Fen strengthening the hands of their own destroyers. Oh 1 for a hogshead of sugar, a barrel of molasses, or anything sweet that I could dive into, and drive away the political sourness that pervades my soul. \\ ill, this week will close the story, one way or another, and then we’ll turn over anew leaf, and begin a fresh, and, I hope, a b 'ighter chapter. As some compensation for my megrims, I commend to you the accompanying sprightly waif from the portfolio of the late Captain Morehead. Yours, Ac., Southern Radical. [From the MS. of tlio late E.
