A few minutes spent in the store of our active and enterprising Grocer Merchants, Messrs. Greer & Simmons, will thor- j oughly eonvince you of the fact that on tlic svuare where every citizen of the county is necisarily compelled to be, is the place to sell gaods. We ven ure the assertion that our merbeents on the equre are selling more goods, paying less rent, and have more good and sub* stantial customers than any otters of the square.

Special message of the “Express Agent.” In the Legislative proceedings of Wednesday, says the Chronicle dc Sen• j ttnel, which we publish elsewhere, will . be found the “Express Agent’s” special message to the II >uso of Represents- : lives, in relation to the eligibility of negroes to hold office in this State. Bullock i?, whatever else may be said of him, a sincere and consistent advn- 1 cite of negro supremacy ic the South He hates the whi'e people of the South so intensely that he would prefer to see all tho offices in the State filled by the most ignorant and corrupt of the blac race, rather than have good govern ment admini-tered by white men. He is an exceedingly ignorant bat a very vindictive maa. Bis message docs not rise to the dig nity us an argement. If the question were, wbe her, under the Civil Rights bill and the Reconstruction acts, ibe negroes arc made citizens, there might be some point in his frequent allusions to the so-called Coosti'uticn of the State on that sui j'ot. No one denies that in bo far as the Civil Rights bill, the Re construction bills and ehe so called C in stitution are Constitutional and Vnd iup the negroes arc made citixen*. But neitbut the legislation of Congress or the provisions of the so-called Sta'c Constitution, confers on them the right to bold office. Indeed no one know better than Bn’b ok, that an attempt wee made in the Convention which framed the C- nstiturioo to insert a prov sion qrelaring negroes eligible for office, and that i* ws« defeated by a vote of more than three fourths of the negroes and Badi« ! s wlc were in »fce ConvmCor To tin- Fm'tlmru. The ftdlirwlr.g iippropriute and truth ful Words were addressed to the Freed men of Aikin, South Carolina, at a re cent rmiNs mee ing of freedmen at ’.hat place, by Gen. Wade Hampton. We commend the extract to the l're dmeD of Georgia and Alabama. Gen. Hamp ton was a lurge slave holder and a humane rn.rter. This portion <f bw speech was responded to by the freed men with aceUnutioos of iqipLuso: 1 nuw want to say a few words to the colored people, of whom I am glad to see many here. I believe, aud I have told them that, if tbc interests of tbo white man arc at stake, theirs are even moio in jeopardy. If the worst cornea to the worst, the white man can gather his household goods, and carry his sor row and bis suffering to another iar.d.— Hut, before the black min can go away he must make money enough. Even then there is no (lace in which be would bo treated as well as he is here. If he goes te the North or North west, be will be met as an enemy. 1 assert and l have bes re this, expressed my wil iugness to grant more rights to the colored people than any Northern State has shown a willingness to in tbo recent election. I feel that the interests <f the black men and tl.o white men of the South are bound op together I feel that the black id.,n arc Southern men, that wa were, born upon tho same soil, and that we have lived our past lives together. 1 know that as the white man prospers so will the Llack man prosper. I know that if the white man beoomes poor and broken down the black man will share the same fitc. The Radicals have made many promis es, but wheD they have got what they wanted they all iwed the colored people to whistle down the wind and shift lor themselves. I te I you that if you are so unfortunate as to draw a lioe be tween the white people of the South! aud yourselves, you will swo fiud that you have no friends at all. The white men will bring other white men iuto (far country who will work cheaper than - tho colored man. In a few years they will have occupied every foot ol ground where you now dwell. They will be j hired by the owncis of the land, andi gradually, but peaceful y aud surely, they will spread over the country, and tbc colt, red man will be driven out, and will disappear as the Indian has disap peared before the onward march of the white man. It is the law of God, and it will be so sure as there ia a God iu Heavenu I bcl evo that the colored man can do-rcat good in this ecuutry. VVe recognize bis fteedjtu fully It is our interest (bat be should make stood crops and receive good wages. E/en if we were not actuated hy old acquaint ance and friendship, our in crests would compel us to look af.er his welfare. And for tboir welfare, we advis: them to help us to drive away the Uidietls and scala wags who are in our midst. My colored friends, do as was done in Mississippi. There the colored majority was greater in propoition than it is here, but the colored men came te the support of their only friends, swept ovor the Slate, and voted down the reconstruction constitu tion by a majority of 10,000. That is what you mil do here, although perhaps not now. You will find that Radical promises of forty acres of laud aud a uiule will come to Dotbing. They will give you a piece of land six fiet by three feet, enough to bury you iu, but you will get no more exoept as other people do, by buying and paying lor it- Deceiving tiib Poor Negroes.— Tbe mean, unprincipled white wie'ebes who addressed tb6 crowd of negroes at the City Pad, Thuisday night, played upon their credulity by deliberately ass serting what they knew to be a lie, to wit: ‘That in the event of tbe election of Seymour and Blair, they (the ne groes) would all be put back iuto slave ry again ” Every intelligent colored mae knows that the whi'e people of tbe South do not desire any such thing, and fu'ther that tbe great mass of the white neop.'n would vote against and, if necessary, ligh! agaii.s: the rceni-Lve meut of the uegro. But the unpnnoi pled white scoundrels, who are leading tbe poor negroes against their best in ; teresis, have determined to persist in their trade of misrepresentation, it be ing iht only hope they have of living at the expense of tbe col red man. Tbe time, however, is not far distant wben these creatures will fisd tbeir just des serts at tbe haDds of a people whom tb‘y have goaded into id almost total disre gard of law and order. Let Dot these wretches flutter themselves of security from dauger if ever such a direful ca lamity s ould come upon the people, white and black. Tne good people of Georgia have no war to make against the colored man. They will not be re sponsible for tbe result of insurrection ary appeals to tbeir pat-ions and preju dices. The pn.ceful, law-abid in?, long forbeir-ng citizens of Georgia will only bold tbe ring-leaders responsible. Up on tbe beads ot tbe guilty shall the pun ishment be inflicted. Chronicle dc S-ntinel.

My heart is with you, as w uld bo my band at.d head ia as ion and council on the day you defigna’e, if a multitude of public and piivatc eugagciuduta did uot abio lu’clv forbid You understand tho momentous char actor of the issues bif.re tbo country.— No hyperbole can exagerato them. VVny is the whole country so *rou' ed ! Why are we at ihe South and tbc great masses at the Nor<; a culis'ed in this campaign ? \V ”y do vve see the M White Ii ye iu li'/de” and tho white boys who recently were “the Gray,’- the Boldins <>t (ho .North and the soldiers of tho South, the m**u who recently confronted each other in the war, uow moving side by side with locked shields under the same banner J The reason is obvious. They have now a common enemy. They surrendered secession and ac cepted lluion uu.ier tho consti'ution The soldiers of tho N.orth enlisted to light s otEisiou. They and those who gave their money and sons to tlo army, b-lieved its triumph of the Union and constitution. The (’institution is the only bond of this Uuion Upon this all arc agreed. There can be no other bond of uuioo under our system. Yot without a blush, without a pang, the oracles of li 'publicanistn- -tbs common enemy—in utter sc to of responsibility, aud iu utter contempt of public opinion proclaim and praciioe a policy ol tyran ny “outside ot iLccoos itution.” Hence the 8-tuh iceL she has been deceived ; while many at the Noith, who supported the war, feel that they have beeu de iraudcd of the just trophies of their tri umph, and cheaicd out of their blood. As sequences of this “outside” legisla tion have foil wed a series o’ wrong*, each ot which has been the pa reut of a whole brood of evils and op pressions. “Disunion” has been perpetuated in vioiauou of the implied terms of surren der against the manifest wishes ot a large majoriiy of the people ol both sec tions. Taxation wi’hout representation, a wbico Saxon Liberty turns pale becaus it has always been the portent, the pre cursor, hunerto the baun. r of bloody revolutions ; this rbain less cutraee ha? beeu p- rpeiuated by the common enemy, not only wi'bout auibotity, but wnhi-u the condescension of apology. The opeu coronation has biou in the face ot day, of the military ever prtß trate constitutions, aod all the old sacred institutions of civil iibcity the sub stance, the essa ce, the very d.fiuiliou of despotism. Tae States . f ibis Union, likccop tive monarch es of autiquity in old Home, have he.n made to in .rah bes- re the charriot ■ wbither tbe Federal Ex ecu'ive and Juliciary, representative ol the rest, have been dragged at the wheels of this triumphant tyrunuy. They have evinced tbe same r-cer etice f>r the constiu ion of our Futh ers that Caligula did for the Ron.au, when in couumpt and derision of the people, tbe baugbty nionaicli invested bis ruling borse with the dignity of the consulate over tbe prostrate neck of that once ptuud people. Evea when they have used some of tbe stimu ated con stitutional forms, such as elic’ions, to perfect the schemes, these have only been tbe sheath of the p itiard that th< y might give the fatal stab to liberty with more cunning security To crown all and clap the climax of these enormi ies they have made a re cently se/vile race tie pol.tieal superi ors of tbe educatod classes of the South, and now by tbe vilest tools of party to shape the prt ju lies and incrcae; tbe ba tr and of this race against the whites, by representations which they know to be false, and thus to provoke a war of races which they know to he imminent. What are we to do ? Eudure ! That is tbe great virtue that we must con tinue to practice until the magnanimous millions of the North, wbo feel outraged by these wrongs, shah right them at the ballo -box. Wo have borne much— we have much to boar now-.particular ly you of Alabama. Bu: let us exer cise the extteme of self-control ; abstain from violence and undue excitement. Radicalism lives up u excitement. It is a great speculator in the pathetic. It alttmpts to deceive and madden the honest sympatlies of the North by get ting up a spectacle of Blood, just as tbe Metadore of tbe Bpabi.-h bull fight goads and maddens tbe noblu animal to bis death by staying before him tbe obj ct of bis special averson -the blood red scarf. Let us cmieaver to disappoint them. Let us not visit upon the beads of tbe uufortuate and and luded negro the sins of the bad wbi’e men who teach him to abandon, bate and insult o;s test friends. Let lit) be kind and forbearing toward him still—remembering that be is be guiled iuto the commission of ontrages by unscrupulous demagogues all over the S uth, wbo are now persuading; him that if the Democratic party triumphs, it will re In.-lave him I repeat, let us be kind and foibearing. We may thus avoid collision. Os this, however, I am not sanguine, for tbe Radicals among u« are intent upon. Blood, not truth is tbeir capital in trade—excite ment and passion tbeir only amuuition ia this campaign—and we must not per mit ihim to get up a row, blow out tbe lights, and then in tbe confusion of false issues, escape tbe just judgements of ibe long sufferiug Southern, and in dignant Northern people. 1 am, geutlcmen, with high regards ycurs most truly.

It appears that this is a Aa tional organization —to extend into every Stole an county ut the United Stater— which relieves it from the odium that has here'ofore a'tsched to organ zations of this kind, they are merely local in thoir n iture, and ttrictly Southern iu their character. 1 am, and always have been, opposed to secret political organ zations. Bat can an organization ct this nature, at this par'icnlar time, be considered, in Texas a strictly political organization? The oaDtest upon which wt are uow enteimg i.* uot merely for political ascendancy. With iho Southern people, this, in the abstract , is ihe most unimportant of al. the qm stions invo'vrd. We seek it— not in a vain, partisan spirit—not with an ignoble thirst for power and pltce, tut h 8 a meant to a greai end; as a rel ug • 'roan social debauchery, as a step-, ping stone to a purer social atmosphere! and as the last hope sos th maintenance of the supremacy oj the white race in this liepuhlic.

Radical*. 1867 11 576 31 986 1868 15 552 42.000 1864 13,321 42,419 It will thus be seen that the Demo crats have, without any effort, polled otter 2,000 more votes in this eleotion than in the Presidential elextion of 1864, while the 11 .dicals have fallen short of their vte of that year. Be sides, tho proportion of the Rtdical to the Democratic vote in 1867 was 2 8 10; this yeas it is 2 7 10, showing that ii tbe increased vote the Dem-ersts have actually g inod more thao tbe Radicals. This is truly a small victory to brag of. Tne real victory is with the De mocracy, who, without any cff>rt, havo trained in gieater proportion than the Radicals, who put forth every possible effort to make some sort of a set-off for the splendid Dern cratie achievement in Kentucky. The diff rence ia this, that the D mocratic inc easo in Kentucky was derived ch i fly from the R'pobli ern ranks, while in Vtiinont ihe Radi cals have actually fail.d to held their own iD tbe proporiienale increase, the Democrats having made tbe greatest p’oportinnate gains Washington In There a*e a good ro-toy ignoramuses in the Jacobin mob, but wo do not be lieve there are any of them -o ignorant that they cannot understand Frank P.
