Other Reon are to follow until, under a glorious negro rule, the ten Southern divisions of our | republic are bound and given over to Africa to | be governed according to the Haytien style. | The principles of the conventions which frame | these negro governments are shaped by the | most unprincipled of all our demagozues. | Without a dollar of interest in the country | they stir the pliable black man to passion | against the white, and, while moulding the | mass to suit radical aims, sow the seeds of an unavoidable war of caste. They do not fail to promise th® negro all that his bar)arous imagination may desire—freedom from labor, 8 division of property, and even the govern- | ment of the country. Thus, for transient politi- | cal purposes they force the whole sun-burned | brain of Ethiopia to the came focus, and teach | it to expect what it can never realize while there is a Southern or a Northern sword left to | defend Caucasian blood—blood originally | purer than that of Africa, and purified still | more by long centuries of arduous labor | towards the summit of civilization; blood | progressive, in contradistinction to blood retro- | grade and naturally barbaric in its impulses. | In the face of all this we see power central- izing in the South in the hands of that element which, according to all history, is a threat against any civilization with which it comes in | contact. The platform of the radical republi- can party of Louisiana isa fair exponent of what threatens us fn all the Southern States by raising up @ power ten times more destructive and nationally demoralizing than any that has heretofore existed. That platform states:— “We as a party insist on perfect equality, with- out distinction of race or color, in the right to vote and enter the jury box without any edu- cational or property qualification being re- quired.” Again:—“The radical republican party of Louisiana will support no man for office who will not openly and boldly pledge himself to make an equal distribution among white and colored alike of all offices to which he may have power of appointment.” These are the mad principles which, ata terrible cost, we urge upon one-half of our territorial extent, thus threatening ite complete desolation. Were ft the destruction of only one-half of the country we might, {n our won- derful stamina, live under it; but the radical programme means more than this--it means the draining of every energy of the North to support the one grand biack idea, and, at any cost, forcing the negro down the throat of the nation. We struggle under it, we bleed, we expend our millions, we tax our people to the last feather’s weight, we fairly writhe beneath the terrible effort to swallow a dose that would choke a mammoth anaconda. We cannot do it, and we cast it aside as something that would give the coup de grace to ali the cherished hopes of a people who are struggling for civilization, not barbar- ism. We are taxed to-day one thousand mil- | lions per year to support the radical idea that Africa has a higher civilization than Europe, | and that it ia necessary for the United States, at any sacrifice, to approximate itself to the African standard. The radicals, determined to give all the strength possible to the negro card, train every element in the North to its support; and while in the South they tear down all | barriers which distinguish races, while they abolish every aristocratic privilege, while they inaugurate there a Utopian agrarianism, they give us @ singular contradiction of principles in | the North. Here they strive to build up great moneyed monopolies, a dictatorial banking system, « centralization of party power, an | enriching of the rich and an impoverishing of the poor. Thus it becomes difficult to discover | that there is any great underlying principle in radicalism, unless it be the sole idea to retain at all hazards the power into which the revo- | lationary throes of the country forced them. | The North is beginning to dive into this | problem and is rapidly discovering its incon- | sistencios. There is a deep and setiled reso- | Intion taking possession of the masses that they \.will no longer support aristocratic privileges in the North or negro elevation and barbarism | in the South. Bled to the last drop of blood and treasure, the people begin to ask, “ What | is this money used for!” and, look where they will, they see tho question answered—To prop up a quarter section of Africa, until we | eee tf, centuries hence, it will be able to march onward uniided. God never made’ one race to support another. For this we made war in favor of the black man. As matters now pro- grees under radical rule, we fast advance tos war to relieve the white from supporting the black. The fnture aspirants for the Presidency must Joarn the truths which we here enunciate. ° If General Grant accepts the radical nomination upon euch # platform as the radicals now tread hie will be defeated, despite his national popu- larity and his masterly reticence, General Seott was defested where there were similar but miner principles involved, and President Pierce, with all his imbecility, then stepped into power. In the South we ceo all the preliminary movements for a desolating war of cast: if the present programme be carried out. The negroes have numerous leagues and are providing themselves with arms, which are given to them by the radicals. The white people, despairing of return nz again to prosperity, and seeing their every effort met by crushing blow from Congres, now give the country over to negro rule and emigrate elsewhere, Domestic capital threa - ened and Northern and foreign capital frigh!- ened away; State and municipal privilezes completely under military domination. which is destructive to every element of our boasted republicanism; the credit of the States de-, stroyed ; and one halt of the country deso!ated at the expense of the other half—are all moura- ful indications of approaching barbaric gov- ernment. The effect on the North fe already indicated by the late elections, The negro wave mustnow ebb, It.has had its greatest flow. The radicals may still float on tho receding black tide ; but the white people of the United States, as a mass, have too much sense left to place their future civilization and government under negro domination. . The Theatres—What the Public Want. The demand for novelties on the stage was never before so greatas during the present season. The managers who comply with the wishes of the public in this respect are reap- ing the benefit of their enterprise and business tact, and those who persist in rehashing up old wo-nout plays and pushing forward poor companies are greeted every night with a beg- gariy account of empty benches. The vener- able, time honored pieces that held the stage in war times and drew crowded houses, are now dragging outa miserable existence in those establishments in whieh they are produced. The theatre going public were then flush of money and only anxious to spend it, without considering the quality of the article offered to them. It is different now. The theatres have increased in number; new managers have in many cases replaced the old fossils ; new plays have been placed on the stage in a style never witnessed before; the increased facilities of European travel have made the American ‘people better acquainted with thea- trical management in the old continental thea- tres, and as a fonsequence have mae them more critical and exacting, The pernicious system of starring with a worthless company is being gradually abolished; and splendid busi- ness rewards those managers who aim at having a perfect ensemble of cast rather than a ringle star with a dozen rnshligits, The magn'ficent success that has been achieved by the irre- pressible Grau with the Ristori company shows what enterprise can do. Ristori plays again here on Monday and Tuesday nights, and at matinee on Wednesday ; and seats are not only already scarce, but all the bost ones are taken, and this withou! reduction in prices, Grau is an inpressario who unier- stands the public and knows how {g «pend money in order to make it, ‘The camo spirit of enterprise secnres the success ot opera. The Grand Duchess came out at the French theatre—s bran new opera in a bran new dress—and she became the rage at once, If the management will only have the good sense to provide an extra prima donna of recognized ability to take the place of the present lady when she is indisposed, the patrons of the theatre will be satisfied. In fact, the Grand Duchess ia now such a mythical personage, owing to the frequent change of prime donne, that some of the papers are in a muddle, and call her all sorts of names but the right one. The opening of Pike’s opera house, with an Italian opera company composed, of genuine artists, will tend to restore that much neglected branch of the lyric drama to ite former position. There is no doubt that the public do not want to hear the same old hackneyed lyric and dramatic pieces, with the same deteriorated artists, over and over again. There is one feature in the theatres this ‘season which is gratifying. More attention iz paid to the scenery and general mounting of a piece, and tableaux are arranged wilh a view towards art and splendor, An unerring proof of the rage for novelties and completeness in everything connected with the stage is the receipts of the diferent theatres. Let the Rip Van Winkle managers who #0 fondly cling to their mis taken ideas of economy wake up, and they will find that their more enterprising brethren have got the start of them by more than twenty years in the estifation of the public. The New Hampshire Democracy, Our #pecial iclegram from Coacord, N. H., published yesterday, gave a fall and interest- ing sccount of the proceedings of the Demo- cratic State Convention there. The rout of the radical republicans in the late elections in- fused extraordinary vigor into the democrats of the Granite State. They came uy to the Convention with strong delegations from ali sections and fall of joy. @bere was rather « stormy time between the friends of riva) can- didates for the nomination for Governor, but after the question wa decided by Jobn G. Sin- clair being nominated there was general har- mony. In the platform adopted there is much of the old materlal of democratic conventions, which we have seen many times before, about exrdinal doctrines, constitutional principles, and so forth. This is all very well, and what conventions of a!) parties proclaim. But while the resolution: ste of this general and usual character, We wust sy sererabof them deserve special notice for ‘heir force and directness, Take the following for oxample:—_ Resolved, That the Concressional pia of reconstruc. tion ts, a8 covfowed UF tin (ramers, wholly © th Constitution and @ revolutionary waurpati the attempt by Congress to e@siablish the pi premacy Of the negry mi and iu. munciation of every trae American citizen, Thi of legiatation outette he practical disraptiog a of the public cons legitunace bueners de that sviil @ Impending over the country, This is good ground to work upon, aad if the democrats of New Haipshiro fight vigorously on this line there is every reason to believe they will carry the State. They must throw overboard all the deadweight of copperhead- ism and be fully up to the living issues of the day. In fact, with good management on the part of the democrats (hey may carry nert year every Northern Siate except, perhaps, Massachusetts and Vermont The tide of reac: don agains! tho radical repubiican party bee set in Bad promises to woop it out of power. The democrats hive a Ane opportunity if they ase it rightly, The Charter Mayer. ‘The citizens of the metropolis are shortly to determine who shall. be Mayor for another trm. Three candidates are in the field. Mr. Da ling, whose name is mainly known tw the public through having been seen in all the cars ot the Third Avenue Railroad for some years posted up as the president of that corporation, is the nominee of the republican party. Mr. Darling has been heard from since his nomina- tion through a Washington correspondent, and is reporied to be of opinion that he can be elected if. he receives the full vote of his party. He ‘s & hopeful candidate, therefore. It ts. perhaps, safe to assume that if this gentleman be eected he will run the city government very much as he has run the Third avenue cars, and it is said that ho has run ita stock ap pretty well. Perhaps he may run the city stock up also. Hoffman is the penny wise and forty pound foolish nominee of the Tammany democrats. He is the worst Mayor this badly governed city ever had. He once, as a judge, sentenced sows poor devils to a hard term in prison, and thia gave him a sort of reputation for incorruptible virtue, on which he still lives, having never since done anything that anybody could possibly praise. Fernando Wood is the candidate of the democratic out- siders, the free political lances who boldly tilt against all party machines, and go,in general scramble, for the spoils. Ho is the cheapest Mayor we have had for many a year. “Thou art the best o’ the cutthroats,” said the dis- criminating Macbeth; and the taxpaying peo- ple are in a position to say nearly the same thing as to candidates, We want the cheapest of rascals—as we can hope for nothing better— and there is a difference of fificen millions in favor of Fernando on tue city expenses. Hoff- man makes the annual expenditure twenty-four million dollars. Wood made it nine millions. What Darling might make itwe can only judge by the consideration that republican officials are expensive luxuries, these gentlemen feeling the necessity of miking hay while the sun shinea, If we could get trom any of these candi- dates a pledge that he would follow the mag- nificeat example of Peter Bismarck Sweeny, and agree to give up to the public treasury all the money that he could find no good ex- cuse for appropriating, we should have reason for a preference; but in the absence of any such pledge it is only a question of who is the cheapest. Under Fer- nando there will. be legs rascality than under any other. He, like the Turk, “bears no brother near the throne,” while under either of the others the official thieves will “ come not by single spies but in bat‘alions.”” As to piety, morality and all that, the candidates are about alike. Darling is president of a railroad, Hoffman is @ momber of all the Presbyterian churches, and Fernando, too liberal to confine himself to one sect, exhorts in the edifices of every denomination, and has been to Palestine. Let the people remember that business is almost at a standstill, that immense numbers of men are out of employment, and that there is no prospect of @ favorable change while we are weighed down and every industry mort- gaged by the great burden of taratlon— national taxation, State taxation and city taxation—these three; but the worst of all is the last, and for this the people may secure some remedy -by voting to have fiiteen mil- lions @ year saved on city expenditure, Those fifteen millions come out of the people, who pay rents and buy the necessaries of life. P.8—There is only one difference between the candidates, and that is a difference in price. Fernando is the cheapest by fifteen millions a year. The Latest from Italy. Our Italian news does not present much that is new. The foeling throughout the Peninsula had become strong against the French. The result of this has been twofold—more French troops have been sent from Toulon for Civite Vecchia, and Victor Emanuel has called out the reserves and ordered the formation of three large camps, The revolution which for ® time threatened Rome has thus rolled back upon Italy, It is the throne of Victor Emanuel, and not the throne of Pius the Ninth, which is most immediately in danger. While the King of Italy is thna at his wits’ end the Pope is rejoicing at his deliverance from “anarchists upon whose flag were inscribed rapine und devastation.” His fare- well address to the French officers on the occasion of their leaving Rome for Civita Vecchia reads much like ® paragraph from the Encyclical which we printed and commented upon two days ago. He is as angry with Italy as ever; but he has bestowed his apostolic blessing on the army, the people and the Em- peror of France. If Napoleon be able to get this Roman question settled and yet retain the Holy Father in bis present frame of mind we may expect soon to hear of a Papal visit to Paris and an jgperial coronation. Twice de- livered from hists by the soldiers of Na- poleon, and grateful beyond measure, accord- ing to bis own words, for said deliverance, he cannot well refuse to his imperial benefactor this “crowning” favor. It is difficult to be- lieve, however, that this Roman difficulty will be got over to the entire satisfaction of his Holiness. Napoleon may not wish him just so well ashe imagines, and even though he wished him better than he does, it may not be possible for him to gratify his Holiness’ desires. Much, everything, indeed, now depends upon the re- sult of the proposal for a general congress. But whether a congress shall be got togethor or not, it ie hard, ia present circumstances, to understand bow the temporal power can be maintained. ‘The New Postal Treaty Between Belgium and the United States. According to one of our latest tolegrams Bel- gium ts to be incinded ia the list of European countries which are disposei te encourage cheap interoceanic portage. By a treaty just concluded between that country and the United States the rate of postage on single letters weighing balf a5 ounce or loss bas been re- duced to fifteen cents, This is @ step in the right direction, aad one which reflects honor on the little kingdom. Prussia recently concluded a similar treaty. France long since followed the example of England. The rate, however, maust be still further redaced, As It is, all this cannot fail to be @ positive advantage to the United States, Lacreased postal communica- tion will swell the tlde of fmmigration, and every intelligent aad tadnstrious {mmigrant is e muck addition to our actual weelte, Eléetion—Candidates fer | Mexico Expertonces a Change in Her Sea. timewts. Mexico is not eo indifferent to the sentiments of the American people as she was some time ago. We are of more consequence than we were when our word would not save the life of Maximilian. The reason is that Mexico wants cash, “Hath a Jew moneys!” Does the great Mexican nation appeal for the means to keep a government going to tho despised nobodies whe were denounced as impudently futerforing with whai did not concern them because they asked Mexico to be bumane ? The Mexican mation does so appeal, and wants twelve million dollars, It is, however, to be hoped that no American capitalist has any to lend her. No man of public spirit should tn- vest money at this time beyond the limits of the United States. There is no better fleld for development than our own Southero and West- ern country. Let our capital be invested at home to lighten the burdens of the people, and not go abroad to keep up the governmental machinery of an ungrateful republic. Dialectice in Baltimore—Wise and Pollard. The Wise and Potlard discussion goes on in the good old chivalric way, and bas nally reached the shooting stage, the latest argu- ment having been safely lodged in Pollard’s elbow. Pollard, It- cannot be forgotten, wrote history. Wise criticised it Pollard there- upon criticised Wise, and now a eon and ® nephew of Wise ‘criticise’ Pollard— on the public stree, There is @ well preserved tradition that a member of Con- gress from South Carolina once attended a performance at the Washington theatre, and thought the play and the playing very bad. He thought them so bad as to be beyond the reach of ordinary remedies. He sgid to him- self, “I'll atop this,” and he,immediately pro- duced thethorse pistols that every chivalric son ot the South carries in bis coat, and opened fire on the actors, Now that was teal dramatio criticiam, and the Wises have studied from that member's favorite anchors. They adopt the same style. Pollard can scarcely mistake their meaning; but in the meantime what be- comes of the public. Tie two Wises dis- charged several leaden “semarks” at Pollard the other day; only one hit the man they were all mesni for, and any passer-by might have caught the remainder. The Wisos, fearful that they will not be thought gentlemen, prove themselves ruffians, and if the danger were only to themszives no one would object; but Maryland justice, out of regard to the public peace, if not common sense, ought to provide that this sort of discussion shall not happen again for some time between the same parties. Mr. Chase Shertening Sail. ‘We have a report from Richmond by way of Washington that Chief Justice Chase is tn favor of such a modification of the radical pro- gramme as will exclude negroes from holding office, but favors universal suffrage ; and some- thing further is said in the same report of mak- ing “ten years’ citizenship in the United States a qualification for holding office.” We guess, however, that Mr. Chase wil! have to shorten sail very considerably on the money question, as well ag the. nigger question, to bring his bark back into thé curréat of ‘public opinion. As ho stands to-day he is in greater danger of being swamped on his financial system than on his negro programme. With regard to the election of negroes to Congress, the radicals would do well to look ino the constitution, which requires seven years’ citizensaip for a member of the House and nine years for a member of the Senate, and apply this rule to the blacks. Dating from the official proclama- tion of the constitulional amendment abolish- ing slavery, the blacks of this country, though born in ft, have been citizens of the United States only two years or #0.
