Republicans aad the Negrocs. The dealing ot the republicans with those colored men who have the good or ill-fortune to be candi- dates on a republican ticket, is one of the puzzles of our politics. Re- publicans have no use for negroes. They need and demand their votes, and they assume that the negro is bound to give his ballot always and under all circumstances for the re- publican ticket. But beyond this they want nothing to do with him. Sometimes the negroes get it into their heads that they ought to share jn the distribution of offices; that, as in some states, they compose two- are entitled thirds of the party they of a place to the occasional honor on the ticket which they are expected But the party 1s always equal to this emergency ; it concedes to support. the justice ot the negroes’ demand, nominates one of their number for some subordinate office, and then This treach- erous practice was strikingly exhibit- recent elec- The republican party in that state 1s composed three-fourths ot retuses to vote for him. ed in Kentucky at the tions. negroes and one-fourth of whites, i ‘ ? and in consideration of this large | still.

The republicans are spinority in Kentucky; but 1t would have been all the same to Mr. As- bury if they had been the ruling party; he would have been beaten, even if all the rest ot the ticket had been elected. it might be supposed that in Muis- sourl, Where the negroes have reach- e2da higher stage of advancement than in any other ot the former$ slave states, they would fare better. But the unvarying reluctance with which, even in Missouri, a single negro Ss sometimes put on the republican state ticket, and the ferocity with which he is slaughtered after being put there, betrays the unconquerable yepugnance of individual republicans to the colored man. And it is the same in all the Northern states. The only place where a negro can be elected to an office 1s in the South. qualities, the party gave a very reluctant support: he scratched, ina The South. The standing taunt of the eastern republican press for many long years was that the south was destitute ot enterprise and energy: that the peo- ple of the south had been enervated by slavery, and that they could nev- er rise in the industrial scale until the south had been developed by eastern capital. It was not taken in- to account that when one industria} system is destroyed it takes years, even under the most favorable cir- cumstances, to supply another. The whole industrial and economic sys- | temot the whole south rested on the institution of slavery. The peo- ple had invested a large amount. ot money in slaves, and all this was lost by emancipation. All their personal property besides was gone, wasted and destroyed by the war. Whole sections of country were ruin- ed by the buildings. Ev- erything was really swept away, and st was for years merely a struggle for bare subsistance. burning When the West India slaves were | emancipated by the E ment, the planters were paid ©00,000 by the Eng The money was not raised in West Indies; it was paid by the peo- ple of the Brittish Islands; a!l their ether property was untouched.

During the past five years there is no part ot the Umted States that has | more rapidly than the old slavehold- ing states. A new industrial system is firmly established, and the south is rising trom her misfortunes and taking her place as one of the Emost of the union. prosperous sections Her agricultural productions do not come in contact with the agricultural productions of the north and west, but her manutactures are excluding eastern manufactures from the home markets. There is a wail of despair trom eastern cotton maufacturers. They have not, they say, as great advan- tages as the southern manufactures. The freight on the raw material and also on the finished product is handi- capping them, and as they had mills at the south, sufficient to supply all markets of the United States, has had the effect of curtailing the pro- duction of the eastern mills by so much. The south has great rescources leit sissippi, furnish a supply for a hundred years, There has been neither pity nor mercy shown the ex-confederate states in the past, and they not need either now.

Henry Clay used to take spe- cial delight in annoying Mr. Buchan- an, who had, he believed, started the report that he had made a bargain with John Quincy Adams, by which he secured the election of the Mas- sachusetts statesman as pressident, receiying in return the appointment of secretary of state, which had been Henry Clay up tothat day a stepping stone] to the presidency.
