Suppose the Radicals Succeed— What Then P Yoik World has some lifficly and sensible suggestions upon the present effects of the Radicals to array the blacks of the South en masst in a party against their former mas ters, which we commend both to the Radicals and their intended victims. It says: To place the subject in the right point of view, let us suppose the lie- I publicans to be as successful as th are zealous; let us suppose they su ceed in organizing the whole body oi the negroes into one compact part' , voting always in opposition to the i > | white neighbors, voting always in con cert with the Republican party of ti e North. It needs no prophetic ken. to descry the consequences. It,result- > from the very nature of,..man that aj feeling of bitter arid intense- repug' I nance between the two races would year by year be strengthened, causing mutual recriminations in every can vass, and at last.,' bloody Cpllisiqris in j every election.. The ineffaceable dis-. • tinction of color, keeping alive tic | origin and antecedents of both par- j ties —setting, as if were, a badge or a j brand upon each—would perpetualc these hatreds for generations. 0.0 of two consequences would ineyitab j follow - f either political animositie would lead to constant bloodshed a violence, or else a great pcrniam standing array would he maintained the South to keep the peace. Is it, in a long-sighted, view, c. for the party' interest of the llepu ■ licans to pursue the course on whi they have entered, at this price ?—•'■ They would foel hound to proto- !• 1 their political proteges by this whole military power of the nation so long s they wielded it. The burden of no 1 erful armies w T ould inevitably ad speedily bring the party that 11 1 them into a minority. The people v even now taxed to the extreme pc'..it of endurance; business stagnates ; public revenues fall off; uncertainty and distraction prevent rocupcrat'm in the South, and the burden of taxes fb not eased, as it should bo, by being borne in part by strong .Southern shoulders. If political events k ep the South in a state of chronic-dcp s- Rion, and require the North to take 1 constantly accumulating burdens, | the certain consequence will be a sweeping political revolution. lhe j Republican, party, after having :!>us arrayed the two races in deadly a lag* ' on ism, would he compelled to Itli draw their protection, and allow ;1 so conflicting passions -to take their course. Old scores would then he paid off’ with interest.. Tho n- rues would have reason to execrate the par ty which, after nursing public hatred against them to its higtest pitch, had no power to protect them against its fury. Tho Truth Fitly Told. The Boston Post, speaking of the Radical missionaries sent South, says : Tho effrontery of these demagogues in going among a people deprived of their civil rights and property, held down by military law, suffering the pangs of starvation, and taunting them with their misdeeds, and mocking at their calamities, is as reprcshensibld as anything cowardico could conceive or party hacks perform The ready'sub inission of the South to the reconstruc tion laws of Congress surpassed all ex pectation, and the work was advancing throughout tho South without iicsita* tion. The citizens of different classes were fast adapting themselves to the new order of things; tho blacks and whites wore fast harmonizing in their social and civil rclatious, ami the restoration to good order and fidelity to the General Government was unob structed. Atsueli a moment, extreme party men—-not men distinguished for . patriotism or any prominent virtue, public or domestic—not men of 0011 ■ sistent political action—not men who had risked anything to defend tho" government when it was assailed,-hut mere party declaimed and leeches,- thrust themselves up-n the South ns its dictators, offensively Jeuiundiug; acquiescnce in their will, and threat ening proscription,'confiscation as pun ishments for nsh conformity. What but resistance and violet)co could result from such proceedings among civilized people with one drop of American blood in their Veins?— And was not this the aim at the start, to sting .to violent deeds, and then summon these deeds as evidence of the necessity .of continued suljuga tion, the postponement .of the peace* of the country and ol" the restoration of tho Union ? Wc believe such per sons as Kelley and his Radical associ. ates arc devilish cuougli for any such design, and reckless enough to attempt success, if the American people ai‘o so far iu love with such apostles us to sustain them at tho expense of tho burdens they impose upon the nation, civilly aud pecuniarily, thru wo may ns well all “cry havoc,*aucHet slip the dogs of war.” Strife and taxes, arbi trary government, and the subversion ol" every principle of true republican-. ism, will be the cost of the contest. fi©“The telegraph has stated that; the Atlantic cablo laid hi 1860, lias been damaged by an iceberg,, which grounded upon it, and ig not now working.

On one oc casion ho had an interview with Mr. Lincoln, when the latter said the war would go against the •South, because the Southern men were cowardly and would not fight. Being a Southern man himself, the speaker took offence at the reflection upon the •South, and assured. Mr. Lincoln that he was mis- ' taken, and that tho Southern men would fight to the death. He ridiculed the idea of “confisca tion,’’ and assured the colored people that should it conic by any means, it would indeed make the white men poor, bet it would make the colored men peoter still: —That tlieir duty was to labor and be faithful, in the discharge of their obligations, that the white men might have confidence in them, to the e.nd, that colored men may he able to use the white men’s capital and acquire property. Many other remarks of like character were uttered, hut for which wc neither have time nor space to report.

A meeting of the citizens of Thomas county, called by the colored people, assembled in the Court House of said county on this day,..- ItevA Jacob Wk4° was appointed Chairman, and Mac Davis, Secretary. The meeting was opened with prayer by the Chairmam The Chairman then stated the objects of the meeting jp gear and appropri ate 1 language. \ ■! t ’« * ‘Mr. J. W. Toor, & colored gerttle* man from Savannah, was then intro duced, A fid slopped forward *aod sd dresßcdthe people upon the subject of tbq present civil and political condi tion of the country. , JJe was listened toby white and c,Mo red with much at tention, and wfe hope his remarks will be productive ot good effect to all who heard him. After these semarks, Col. Jas. L. Seward was called for by the meeting. He rose upon his feet, and in his usual clear and forcible manner, traced the coming condition of tho two races, and showed how beneficial it would be to both that peace and harmony, good will and good wishes, should exist and be cultivated between them. Col. Arthur P. Wright was then culled on. lie told tho people that what they now most required, was full smoke houses and corn cribs, and they would then havu sleek horses and cat tle, fat babies, and obedient and con tented wives, lfc pledged himself to ■ the people, (hat if they would go home and make a good crop, and their em ployers did ’ not pay them for tlieir honest lahoi, that he would bo cnc of the lawyers that would tax his brain j to the highest ability tp make them j do it. Mr. William Hayes was then called on. 110 said that lie was raised with* tho colored people—fished, tusseled, arid coon hunted with them. He know them and always trusted them, and was as willing now to trust his life j with them as he was and would endorse what J. W. Twer had said. After this tho Secretary, Mae Davis, was called to the floor. He said lie did not have inucli to upon the sul jects before the meeting, but would take the liberty of touching upon a thing or two intensely interesting to himself. He said ho was accused with being a Radical; ho repelled the imputation with scorn and detestation. Ho said lie did not want any body's land without paying for it;;tnd he was behind the time to be a Radical, for he had already bought himself a home stead and paid for it, as gentlemen in that assembly could testify, and for God's sake never say that about me again. What l did say was, that we all had past sins and required forgive* ness for. them, and L thought you all understood that l had forgiven you. Olhor speakers were called up, and made some gcod remarks,. The meet ing was conducted in much good will and harmony, and much to its praise, every one went home after its close in an orderly manner and in his sober senses. Tho Platform of tho Republican Congressional Party of Thoriiasvillc, was called up aud read, when J. W. Toer moved its adoption, which being seconded by Giles Price, it was unani mously adopted. , It reads as follows : Wc, the citizens of the above named Party, pledge ourselves, choerfully to acquiesce in, and adhere to, all the requirements sot forth iu the Constitu tion of the United Flutes, us .ivejl as all the Acts, and Resolutions parsed by Congress, having in view, the Re constructing of the Rebellious States.

Mac Davis, Sce'y, JUDGE KELLY AT ATLANTA Alter his seme at Mobile, Judge Kelly became sensible, and at Atlanta spoke to tho colored people ns fol lows : •“ Addressing tho freudmen present, he asked, what is liberty ?
