SOME WOBDS FOR THE NEGRO.
Tlie Baltimore American, one of the bit
terest Radical sheets in this country, in
dire agony, the day after the election, gave
forth this tremendous and significant
groan :
“There is no more melancholy duty than
that of giving reasons for defeat after a
battle has been lost, and we shall not at
tempt to explain the disaster that has over
taken the Republican party in Maryland.—
Probably in some districts the vote may
have been frittered away by internal dis
sensions, but still the fact stands out patent
to all that even with the addition of the
colored vote the party is in a minority in
every county in the State, alone excepting
Anne Arundel, which, owing to the untir
ing energy and thorough canvass made by
James A. Gary, Esq., has given ahandsome
Republican majority. The prejudice which
is entertained against the voting of the colored
people contributed more to our defeat than all
other causes combined. The negro has proven
to be an element of weakness and not of
strength."
At the recent election in Maryland the
negroes voted for the first time. They
were 37,000 strong and voted solidly for
the Radical party. Great hopes were enter
tained that this large introduction of black
suffragans would turn the tables in Mary
land ; but the very reverse was the case and
all on account of the negro who has been
thns proved an “element of weakness”
when he was expected to prove an “ ele
ment of streng;h.” Never was there a bet
ter illustration of a cunning engineer be
ing hoisted by his own petard. If the
Maryland Radicals have discovered, as
they confess, that he is not what they took
him for, in spite of his voting like a dumb
driven beast at their bidding, what
wrath to come may he not reasonably
apprehend from those who have thus
made him the innocent cause of their rage,
mortification and disaster? That is a
conundrum which every sensible negro
ought to be able to answer for himself; but
that many of the black people will answer
it for their own good, at present, we by no
means ahtictpate. Tell the negro ever so
honestly that he is a fool for separating
from the white people with whom he was
reared aud cared for. He will, as is his
wont, acknowledge the statement as a
truth ; but he goes straightway and does
his best, at the ballot box, to ruin the native
born Southern men, and elevate the vile
renegades and adventurers who use him as
a tool and will, at the first opportunity,
kick him overboard. No one knows better
than the negro that a great majority of
the white men, native and imported, who
affiliate with him in Radicalism, are dis
honest and corrupt, as well as hypocritical.
He will admit all this as glibly as you
please; but he invariablv votes to intake
the scoundrels great men at the expense
of our best citizens. These despicable white
men who wield the negro vote can do no
thing for the negro. They do not give him
bread or employment. Bread anti employ
ment are obtained from the decent white
people. The negro is not ignorant of this
fact, and yet he blindly votes against his
bread and butter, forgetful that though
that sort of game may succeed now and
then, it will miserably fail at last. And
when it fails, as fail it will, what then ?
We beg the black man to ponder well those
little but pregnant words, what thens
We will give two illustrations of onr
meaning,*
Everybody in this immediate region knows
that, a few years ago, the flat at Hand Bar
Ferry was worked to and fro with poles. It
was a tedious process at best, and, when the
river was very high, it was an intolerable
nuisance, in spite of a large negro force
employed. When Mr. Jonathan Miller
purchased the ferry property, lie saw
that something must be done to rectify
this matter. After trying several experi -
ments, hejyp#y hit upon the method
known i^ne* 1 swing," a simple but effec
tive contrivance which makes the flow of
the stream perforin the duty of locomotion.
When Mr. Miller first instituted this
mode of ferrying, old Uncle Billy, the
veteran pole ferryman, perched oh the
bluff overlooking the river at that point,
shook his head wisely, and anon laughed
at the. idea of making water take the place
of the black man’s muscle. He was satis
fied in his own mind that the thing could
not be done, and, good old soul that he
was, quietly prepared to have his little
joke at the new humbug. But Uncle
Billy’s laugh never came in. The new
flat was a prodigious success, and even
Uncle Billy, however reluctantly, was
obliged to concede that there were wiser
men than he was, and that the world could
move in spite of negro muscle. Now, what
can be done in the ferry line can be done
in every other industrial line, by the inge
nuity and skill of the white race ; and if
the black people are of a different opinion,
let them wait and see. There is a tremen
dous day of eye-opening in reserve for all
such stupid moles.
Our second example is this : A relative
of the writer owned, during slavery times,
a first rate negro mechanic. He was in
dulged in every way, and the bondage he
was supposed to endure did not hurt him
any. After the war, this clever black man
struck out for himself. He moved to the
seaboard, and, became at once a carpenter
and a Radical politician. He managed to
do a moderate business at his trade, and
his name was paraded sonorously in the
newspapers. He was, we believe, a noted
man, in a small way, and had a big name
to publish. For five years, he has been, as
he was well qualified to be, a species of
leading Radical among his own race.
Everything seemed to go promisingly with
him until a few days back. In a fracas,
last week, he killed another black man.
He was arrested and imprisoned. In this
sad extremity, did he get succor from the
Radical adventurers in Savannah? Did
he even think it worth while to make his
appeal for help In that direction ? From
the gloom of his prison, his mind fixed
instinctively upon the man who once
exercised gentle sway over him, and
who was many miles away. To this,
his former master, he wrote one of
the most piteous letters we have ever read,
begging him for God’s sake and for the
sake of old times, to come and help him.
This letter exhibited a strong reliance that
the heart of the old master would be touch
ed and help of all sorts, money, counsel and
the like, liberally extended. What right,
though, had this convict to make any such
appeal? Re had helped all he coaid to de
stroy the prosperity of the very man to
whom his mind reverted ? Would not that
o-entleman thus supplicated be perfectly
justified in turning a deaf ear to Uiecryot
distress which came
at Savannah? He certainly would but
it is not likely that he wIU. And yet the
benefaction that he is about to consummate
may bear, as it has done over and over
again, the sting of ingratitude, lu case the
unfortunate negro should escape hanging.
What could more aptly illustrate that the
negro, in his day of calamity, relies upon
the Sou'hern man whom he essays to rnin
with the ballot, and has no confidence
whatever in the men who are nslng his
suffrage as a convenient method of robbery
and corruption ?
We do not ask the negroes to listen.to
us. We ask them to listen to these facts.
At the stme time, wc may as well hint that
the time may come when they shall appeal
in vain even to the tender sympathies of
Southern men.
This article has already grown beyond
the limits we at first proposed; but we
cannot conclude it more appropriately than
fly quoting conspicuously Mr. Vallan
digham’s remarks, addressed at the Demo
cratic celebration in Dayton, Ohio, October
12th, 1870, to the colored voters of whom
quite a number were present. Mr. Val-
LANDIGHAM Said : . .
“ Aud now allow me a word to our
“ newiy-madc voters of Afiican descent. I
“ have no apologies to make to-night for
“ anything in opposition to them which I
“ may have said iu times past —nothing now
“to take back. My opinion upon the
“question of negro suffrage and equality
‘‘remain unchanged. [Loud applause.]
“ But you have, in fact, at least been made
“ citizens and voters, and 1 recognize the
“ fact. Home of you speak me as an
“ enemy of your race. Tiiis is not correct.
“ Individually, I have been your friend. I
“ have taken you by the hand when your
“ new white Republican friends shunned
“ and you. At my doors some of you
"have received that charity in years past
“ which, was denied you at the hands of your
“ abolition friends, so-called. [Cries, “ That s
“ go; we know it.”] No colored man ever
“ asked a personal favor of me for years
“ past, and was dened; and as well before
“ you had suffrage conferred upon you as
“ now, I would have protected yon in court
“ or against a mob quite as willingly and
“as earnestly as any other man. But my
“ opinions as to the question of conferring
“ political rights upon you in this country
“ were honestly entertained, and candidly
“ and strongly expressed. Yet, if you shall
« prove yourselves worthy of these rights
“ and capable of exercising them as good
“citizens,l will, then, very cheerfully, and
“in a manlike manner, publicly confess
“ myself mistaken. -Your future is In your
“ own hands. But remember that you do not
“ hold the balance of power in this county,
“nor in this district. [Loud cheers.] You
“ cauuot control things by your votes. Num
bering several hundred voters here, you
“ are yet rather a source of weakness than
“ of strength to the Republican party. And
“ you owe nothing to that parly, except tire
“ mere right to try the experiment of
“ suffrage.. They did not confer it upon
“ you for your sakes, but for their own as
“partisans and demagogues. [Loud
“ cheers ] They wanted your votes to put
“ themselves into office aud keep themselves
“in power. Beyoud this they care nothing
“ for you. [Cries of ‘ that’s so, you’re
“ right.’| The mass of you were personal
“ slaves or the descendants of slaves iu the
“ Sohth before aud during the war. At
“ the point of the bayonet they freed you, only
“ now to make you, if you submit, political
“ slaves for their own profit and advancement.
“ And now I, who owe you nothing, and to
“ witom you owe less than nothing polltl
“ cally, warn you not to organize as a
“ colored party. Beware of threatening or
“ attempting to make all of your own race
“ act and vote ao a distinct body. If you
“ do, then be assured that sooner or later
“ the white race will antagonize you as
“ white men ; and here we are as twenty
“to one. In a political struggle we cau
“ overwhelm you. In a contest of arms—
“ in a war of races, if you provoke it—we
“ can crush out and exterminate you.
“ Wherefore be wise in time. The
« Irish do not vote in a body; neither
“do the Germans; nor the Ameri
“ cans born; and be assured that a
“ ‘ uesrro party ’ will bring forth a f white
“ man’s party.’ And not loug after will
“ come violence and bloodshed; and
“ Judge Crane is dead, and Gen. Schenck
“ has now neither law office nor house in
“ this city or district where you can find
“ refuge. [Laughter.] If you would prove
“ yourselves worthy to be and remain citizens,
“ separate, divide politically and otherwise, as
“ other citizens do. Identify yourselves with
“ the community in which you live. Re
“ fuse, to be made the slaves and tools of dema
“ gogucs ; and when thus you shall have estab
“ lished your fitness for citizenship, no one
“ will ever attempt to deprive you of its rights.
“ Remember that 1, who speak these words,
“ owe you nothing, and you owe me no
“ thing; but right or wrong, wisely or un
“ w-sely, you have been forced upon us as
“ citizens, and I counsel you now as such.
“ You may hearken to me or not , just as it
“ may please you ; but be assured that th«
“ time will come when you toill say that I
“ counseled you most wisely and 'well. [Loud
“ cheers.]”
Sooth Carolina. —The Missouri Repub
lican advises the South Carolina whites to
go into voluntary exile. It adds:
“ Resistance is worse than useless, and
the decent portion of the community must
either make up their minds to be ridden
over and plundered by the mongrel crew or
emigrate. We hope they will prefer the
latter, and leave South Carolina to flourish
as a choice specimen of Radical recon
struction, and a paradise for triumphant
Africa."
Better try segregation first, that Is, the
massing of all white elements in the moun
tain country. But is it not a sad thing to
hear a great Democratic organ, which has
done so much to win freedom for Missouri
and the enfranchisement of 70,000 outlaw
ed free born Americans, advising the de
cent people of South Carolina to give up
the fight ?
A Good Hit.— The Washington corre
spondent of the Baltimore Gazette has this
good hit: „
“ Pray, did you sufficiently admire the
columns of the New York World, in as
suming a dictatorship of the entire Demo
cratic party of the country, upon the
ground that the State of New York had
been carried by a reduced majority ? Is It
not dear that the State would have been
lost if the voters had not despised its ad
vice r’
That is about on a par with several
journals we wot of, who are never pro
phetic until after the event.
J citified. —The Military Court of En
quiry, at West Point, have decided that
Cadet Smith, the “ speckled Mongolian ”
was justified in breaking a cocoa-nut dip
per over the head of Cadet Wilson, a white
boy, yery trooly 1011, from Wyoming. And
now jvhat will the wilderness of Wyoming
do about it?

equivalent. I demanded what he meant.

one!’ I immediately stopped Bismarck,

ing : “ London, November 15 —Dispatches
from Blois and Tours confirm the rumors
that a battle has been fought near Artheny.
The extent of the Prussian loss is not yet
ascertained, but that another French vic
tory has been obtained seems to be without
doubt. The conflict originated in an at
tack upon Tann, along the road leading
from Chevilley and Orleans, and the fight
has evidently been very desperate. Indica
tions of a harried and complete retreat of
the Germans are reported to be everywhere
visible in the neighborhood of Orleans, and
a subsequent dispatch will no doubt con
firm what at present seems to be indicated
by rumors, founded on information of
stragglers from the army and villages.—
The French are following up their recent
victory with considerable fervor and dash,
and the latest reports from the iuteiior of
Paris, where the news of the victories has
been officially published, has given a silver
lining to the cloud that seems to hang over
that doomed city.”

Gortzchakoff’s circular, concerning the
Paris treaty of 1856, is dated October 21.

why Russia should observe the latter when
it has been disregarded by others. There
fore Russia disavows her obligations tfc
the limited enjoyment of the Euxine Sea,
and invites the Sultan to enjoy equal
rights with her. She lias in no wise re

BE ON YOUR GUARD.
The unexampled success which for twenty years
has accompanied the use of Hostitter’a Stomach Bit
ters provokes the envy of ignorant nostrum-mongers
in all parts of the conntry, and the counterfeiting
business having leen measuieably played out In con
si qneoce of lire numerous suits iustituted against the
offenders, anew system of tactics lias been adopted.
In the South and West especially, a legion of “ Bit
ters,” prepared from worthless materials, and bearing
a vaiiety of names, have been gotten up by irrespon
xlblc adventurers with the hope of substituting them
to some oxient for the Standard Tonic of the Age.
In some cases, country druggists are the connectors
and proprietors of these unscientific and trashy com
pounds, which are warmly re. ommended by the veil
ders, who cndcavoi to palm them off upon lire credu
lous in lieu of (he great specific which has never yet
t«d a suciessful competitor i ithtr among proprietory
preparations, or the medicines prescribed in privato
practice. This notice is int.nded to put the public
on their guard against persuasions of parties engaged
in the attempt to substitute mere rubbish for the
most efficient stomachic and alterative at present
known. A t this season of the j ear, it is of the great
est consequence that no tricks should bo played with
depressed and enfeebled systems. Ask, therefore, for
Hostetler’s Stomach Bit era, the great vegetable in
vigorant and alterative, and reject, with deserved con
tempt, the worse than useless medleys ottered In its
place. It is as important, to the public as to the pro
prietors of the famous restorative that this advice
should be heeded. novls-tdecl
