THE BUCK PEOPLE The everlasting refrain of the carpet bagger to the negroes is pretty much in this fashion: “It is true, my colored friends, you are ignorant, unlettered, unskilled and shiftless; but slavery made you so. Now, with the ballot, with the school-marm, with Congress and with us, you shall have a fair field and display qualities of social refine ment and administrative talent fully on a par with the more favored white people.” This is the,kind of twaddle usually adopted, in order to tickle the vanity of the negro and secure his vote. The carpet-bagger laughs iu his sleeve all the time and does not believe a single word he utters. If ed ucated, even moderately, he knows that, from the earliest ages, the regro has been under some kind of tutelage, and when this constraint was removed, he relapsed into barbarism and disorder. The mighty civil izations of the Greek, the Roman or the Arabian have not elevated him to a com mon level with the white race, and even the Yankee’s most strenuous endeavor will fail to accomplish what antiquity found impos sible. Wherever the experiment has been made, as in the West Indies, it has proved au unmitigated mistake. There is no more ignominious page in history than that which records the futile and savage efforts of the blijck man to govern himself Wisely, vylrtu onsly and thriftily. This may not be a pleas ant statement,bnt It Is a true one,and it would be of service for unduly aspiring negroes to investigate the deplorable and disastrous essays which have been made, under most advantageous circumstances, by those of their own race who have had the most fer tile lands on earth and every opportunity for progress. If this is true of the black man when left to himself, how can he possi bly hope to predominate and rival, when all the chances*are against him ? The only way on earth for the negro to prosper in the South is to cultivate kind feelings to ward the white possessors of the soil, who are determined to maintain their status at all hazards; whose strength and superiori ty increase with the increasing years, while the negro is now at his very best in point of numbers, and must steadily decline from this time forward. From every quarter of the civilized globe the whites will draw accessions to their ranks, and these ac cessions must coalesce witli their own blood and lineage. Beside, the white people increase naturally much more rapidly than the negroes. While the whites, therefore, have many sources of recruiting their forces, the blacks have but one, and that au inferior seminary. What madness, then, for the negroes to force an antagonism with those who are bound to hold the keys of power, sooner or later ? What infinite folly, to defy the per manent owners of the soil, the certain rulers of the South, and league with those who are the mere creatures of circum stance, mere waifs of accident, and whose temporary grasp upon ourcountry is rapid ly slipping away? Under the tuition of hypocrites and strolling adventurers, the negro is brooding over imaginary perils and stirring his soul to strife. His best re liance for happiness and welfare in this land is in the pleasant paths of peace. His doom is written when he imitates the In dian and courts and provokes destruction. From the revelations vouchsafed, from time to time, it would seem that'the pretended friends of the black people really covet their extermination. They do not wish, if possible, to undertake the job themselves, and so, they attempt every infernal arti fice to compel those who would willingly live in amity and concord with their old servants, to array themselves against them. No Southern man does this voluntarily; it is a matter of galling necessity. Even at this late day, the hand of friendship is ex tended, and many of the more prudent of the colored people are availing themselves of the benefit of such an alliance. Others, however, stand gloomily aloof, sneak about in midnight drills, harbor awful thoughts, and, under evii inspiration, travel the path that leads down to death. The smooth-tongued and blatant adven turers or renegades who play upon the emotional mind of the negro, take care, as a general thing, to conceal their true na tures. Now and then, however, some im petuous individual blurts out what is pent up within him. A case of this kind recent ly occurred in Alexandria, Va. The Stale Journal (Radical) had occasion to speak of Hayti and affairs transpiring there. This is the way it spoke: “The appearance of the name of Lynch (we don’t know whether be is a white man or a black, a Spaniard or an American) among the revolutionary leaders In Hayti, suggests a pass ing wonder that some capable and determined white iron-clad bummer, of the Walker type, has not yet taken the trouble to make his ap pearance among these wretched barbarians and reduce them to order. Hnyti Is a country of the most marvelous resources, beauty and at tractiveness, yet its people are sinking lower every year for want of a strong government, capable of keeping them from killing each other. It would be an easy thing for a good stout tnan, such ns Frank Blair or John Mor risey, to thrash them into decency, with a little assistance.” Here, then, we find a candid Radical, who coos ever so gently at home, thirsting for some sturdy white man to thrash the black barbarians of Hayti into decency! This is the authorized utterance of the carpet-bag Governor of Virginia. His or gan has betrayed itself. This is the utter ance of a so-called friend of the negro; an utterance let slip unguardedly. From such occasional bl underings into honesty, let the black man learn wisdom. They are worth more than diamonds to him, if he is not too inlatuated to perceive how he has been snared and bamboozled. If he elects to perish in his delusion, we are sorry; but there is no help for it. If he desires to se cure a large measure of prosperity for him self and people, there is no time to lose. The grand opportunity is swiftly passing away. It will soon be gone; and then, perchance, the stubborn black inan will be glad to sup plicate the terms he has now the chance to arrange. BOUGH BUT GBAPHIO, Col. E. H. Townley, late of the Federal army, and a prominent convert from Radi calism, made a facetious speech before the Democratic Club at Baltimore, a few nights since His experience of army life is edify ing, and we extract a leaf from it for public delectation. Read this: “I will bet that they will not gel a Jew vole I was there when that order was issu' and. It was just before the Y zoo Pass expedition at Helena. Every Jew was put ashore. A Jew friend of mine was placed at Dight on the banks of the river with $7,000 worth of goods. In the morning there was not a remnant of his prop erty left. Why did they send them back ? Was it because they feared their honesty and patri otism ? No; because pome generals were fear ful that somebody would get more cotton than they did. I have seen officers buy whole steam boat loads at twenty-five cents a bale. I once bought thirty-six btde6 from a negro for $2 .50, and thought 1 was paying a high price.— [Laughter.J It was worth sixty-five cents a pound. “ The war was for pluuder and to dissolve the Union. I tell you so because I was in it. I never took a red-hot stove, but I waited one day four hours for one to cool. [Laughter.J 1 happened to turn tny baek for a minute and some one had taken it away.” O, Union ! O, Constitution ! 0, old flog! What crimes were committed iu your names ! A Back-Out. —A friend of ours at the New York Convention was at ono of the hotels talking with a promiscuous crowd, most of whom were Kentuckians. While engaged iu conversation, up stepped a fel low aud held forth as follows: “ 1 a*m ready to l>vW one thousand dollars that Seythour will not carry his own State, for 1 am so well acquainted with every part of it that l know I am making a stub bet. I have the money to plank up iu my pocket.” Here a Kentuckian jumped tip and said, II Stranger, I’m your man. Here’s my pocket book and ten hundred dollar bills. Do you see them ?” The New Yorker fumbled in his pocket and said, “Ah—yes—no—l beg your par don. I left my pocket-book at home.” ** Yes, d—n you,” replied the Kentuck ian, “ I knew that would be the case when I called you to plunk up." So the man that knew all about every county in New York was afraid to stake a thousand dollars on his knowledge. He was a little too certain of how hits State was go ing to permit himself to throw away his money. —Norfolk Journal. Charming Candor.—The quality of Rad icalism in North Carolina may be judged by the confession of “ Senator” Wynne, of Franklin county, who asserts that “ there were not five respectable white men in Franklin who supported the Republican ticket, and that not more than that num ber would recognize him when he returned home.” Sharp and Quick. —The Raleigh Sentinel, alluding to the conduct of the Radical man ager of the North Carolina Railroad, says: “The impression is gaining ground that Mr. Smith has been put upon the road to run it down, 60 as to make Lite State and private stock holders willing to sell the road to Northern capitalists.” Look Out for the State Road I “Rebel Sympathizers.”—A letter to the Albany Argus, from a New York sol dier, stationed at New Iberia, Louisiana, says: “ I will be home in time to cast a vote for Seymour. There are twenty-five Democratic voters in my company, whose time will be out in September, all of whom will cast their votes for the Democratic nominees.” Sherman’s Bane. —The man Sherman wanted to duck in the Missouri river, at St. Jo, is named E. O. Hayes. His great offense was tooting a horn, which gave the signal for multitudinous cheers for Sey mour and Blair. Salvation.— We find the subjoined para graph in the New York Sun: “ The question, 1 Can a Democrat he saved ?’ is seriously put by a correspondent of the Ad vance, a religious paper published at Chicago.” A Radical cau indubitably be saved—in Advance. Trooly Loil Men.—Bates and Lifpin oott are Radical candidates for Treasurer and Auditor in Illinois. The Quincy Whig (Rad.) admits the former “has beeu indicted for perjury and the latter murdered a man in California.” Double-Dealing. —The Chicago plat form says the people of the Northern States shall regulate suffrage to suit themselves. The “fourteenth article” says negroes are citizens and have a right to vote. Under which King ? Taking Position. —The Herald has never quite recovered from its disappointment with regard to the nomination of Mr. Chase. It propose's a split ticket—Grant and Blair! (From the Noitfi Georgia (Dalton) Citizen, Letter from Hon. G. H. Pendleton, in Re ply to an Invitation to Address the People of Georgia. Dalton, Ga., July 27,1868. Hon. Geo. 11. Pendleton, Cincinnati, Ohio: Dear Sir : There is a very widespread desire among our people to have you speak to them on the great questions of the day. We will get you a rousing mass meeting of our best citizens. I am authorized by our Democratic Club to request you to visit our county, and appoint a day when you will address us in Dalton. You can do the cause good, and contribute to uniting the two sections, so long parted. We can assure you of a hearty greeting. Trusting that you may be able to arrange to visit us, 1 am, with high respect, your ob’t sorv’t, I. W. Avery. Cincinnati, August 5,1868. L. W. Avery, Esq., Dalton, Ga.: My Dear Sir : I have received your uote of the 27th of July, asking me to appoint a time at which I can address the people of Georgia in your city. My absence from home prevented au earlier reply. My engagements in the Northwestern States will keep me constantly occupied, I fear, until after our State elections, which will be in October. I cannot now promise what I will be able to do after that time. If it is within my power, nothing would give me greater pleasure than to visit the Stab: of Georgia. There are certain family and social ties which connect me with that State which l would be very glad to renew. [ have at heart, more earnestly, the re union of all the sections of the country. The Northwest and the South, by geo graphical positions, and by the laws of trade, which depend upon circumstances not to be controlled by men, have an identi ty and unity of interest which it is the duty of all good meu, aud especially of all public meu, to cultivate. I should be glad, in an humbly way, to contribute to this re sult, and shall leel it my pleasure, not less than my duty, whenever it is possible, to contribute to this end. I am very much gratified at tiie very friendly terms in which you have given your invitation, and am, Very truly,yours, Geo. 11. Pendleton. I From ti.-t: burnt c-r Republican. War ia Rrospect. MORE OF NEGRO WAR IT.EI’A RATIONS —HIE WHITES TO BE KILLED OUT AND THE LANDS DIVIDED. Mu. Editor: I am in possession of a communication from a responsible citizen of Webster county, who attended a colored Radical meeting, on Saturday, Bth instant, whose speaker gave utterance to the follow ing: •* They would inherit one-thud of the lands in America, and that they would have to pass through a bloody war to accomplish it. Christinas is the time set apart for the conflict to commence. That the whites and negroes could not live together ; that sepa ration must take place. When these de clarations were made the speaker was cheered with shouts of ‘ Separation now, don’t wait until Christmas, we want it now.’ ” He also told them of “ the happiness they would enjoy when the whites were killed out. The prize would he theirs , and they should settle down quietly at their homes with their families, and there would be no while man to harm them in their enjoyments, won by the valor of colored men." They stated that “ the Democrats ought to have their heads taken off, and the time would come when it would be done!" “ These things 1 heard from the lips of fie speakers, and take the liberty to say : It is time the whites were organizing them selves in sn<*li a manlier as to lie able ti> de fend their homes and families.” This meeting was held at Spring Hill School House, two and a half miles West of Preston, Webster county. Joe Harrell, Esq., granted them permission to have a dinner at their place; and the Loyal League from Lumpkin, Stewart county, being invit ed, they came on armed and equipped with guns, pistols and swords, cheering for Grant and Colfax; they were met by the Loyal League from Preston, at Richmond, (better known as Boxankle,) and returned together to the place before mentioned.— “ On their arrival at the place, they gave three cheers for Joe Harrell, Esq.” What shall we say of all this ? Facts are stubborn things, and white negroes are worse than black ones. Now, Mr. Editor,. what ought to be thought of a white man that allies himself with negroes who are seeking the overthrow of the white people by extermination? — You know as well as I, Mr. Editor, that the foregoing is true to the letter, and you know further, that there are white men here.that, stand side by side with these negroes, urg ing them on to these consequences; such, for instance, as Mr, McCay, about whose premises they have assembled time after time. Others tire known to be in like condition, laboring nigiit and day for the destruction of the white people. It is time every man’s position was made manifest, that wo may know who are our friends and who are our enemies ; for the evil day Is upon us, and every man of mind can sec it. A conflict of races seems to lie a fixed fact. Every few nights the negroes are drilling, thoroughly officered. What does this mean? War, war! White men, look well to your families and their protection ! Spectator. Tiie Lord's Hand. —The New York Sun tells a good one on one of Gov. English’s friends wlio rather gloomily pondered, at Stamford, the night before the Connecticut election. While tints depressed an Emeraldor came up to him, and divining the doubt that worried his mind, said: “Arrah, Mislher Doolan, don’t lie on aisy ; we’re slum: to bate ’em anyhow.” “ Don’t be too sure, Tom,” replied Doolan; “if we beat them it will be b.v tLo skin of our teeth and hard work.” “We must bate ’em, Mr. Doolan: we can’t help it.” “ How is that, Tom ?” asked Doolan. “ Don’t vott see the Lord is on our side, man alive?” explained Tom. “How do you make that out?" said Doolan. “An’ siitire an’ I’ll tell you ; didn’t forty-seven voters die in Sthnmford last year, and only six of thim were Dimoerats ? Shttrc the Lord’s hand was in that as plain ar, that wart on y» r nose.” Death of a Pkominent Citizen. —We re gret to announce the dealh ol Mr. John Hol lingsworth, one, of our oldest, most fenterpris sing and public spirited citizens, which occur red at Kingston, Ga., yesterday morning. lie had long been a sufferer from some disease ol the throat, and had gone to Philadelphia to seek medical treatment. His disease of the throat was successfully treated ; but his physi cian informed him that his heart was also se riously affected, and would, probably, soon produce his death. He started home, pursuing his way leisurely, until h" arrived at Kingston, Ga., on the Western & Atlantic Railroad, where Ire had some relatives, and where he has been confined to his bed for three or fonr weeks. | Macon Telegraph. Biugiiam Young on Fast Young Men.— Brig Min Young is evidently “down on ’’young men of immoral habits. In a rt-cent sermon he spoke of having refused several young saiuts the privilege of visiting his liou s e and becom ing acquainted with his daughters, because they were in the habit of profaning the name of the Deity, and then added: “I do not wish ray daughters to be entangled with one who dots not serve God. I would rather see every one of them sealed to Father Perkins here, who is eighty five years of age, than that any of them should be sealed to a wicked man.” The Arabs, the most careful of their horses of all people, do most of their horse feeding at night. They say that feeding in the day time does not impart so much %igor and elasticity to the animal as night feeding does. Their saying is I hat. “barley in the night goes to the buttock—in the morning to the manure.” They afford water, too, very sparingly duriDg the day lime.

When the health has become impaired, and the Htreugth is failing, then lit'» looks more alluring. Stimulants are the only means of restoration iu cases of nervous debility. The great difficulty lias beeu to pro vide a stimulant possessing not only medicinal merit, but one affording permanent relief. If Hostettek’H Stomach Bittkrs is resorted to in such cases, its bene ficial effects will suonbo-.ome apparent in the buoyancy of spirits and renewed strength of the hitherto dejected patieut. Experience has proved this preparation to be “ The remedy of the age ” for nervous debility, as well as a]l dheises arising from derangement of the stomach and liver. Persons advanced in lib , and feeling the hand of time weighing heavily upon them, with all its attendant ills, will find iu the use of HosTBTTKK’s Cki.kbkatkd Stomach Bittk h an elixir that wdl instill new life into their veins ; restore, in a measure, the ardor and energy of more youthful days ; build up their shrunken forms and give health and vigor to their remaining years.
