Ill an article under the -ilicive title, tin
Baltimore Sun treats the iiicstiin at
length and with frrrat aliility. We can
only spare space tor the tiillowint; ex
tract. Sjieakiiii; ot the facility with which
nero voters are transported lrnni place
to place, and the reliance placed upon
such voting material to turn the scales hi
it debatable State, the Sun says:
Colonization is unfortunately only too
easy when done under the forms of law
A technical residence, a name on the reg
istration books and a voter is made, oi
a name left upon which some one fist
can vote. If detected and a row ensues,
we instantly hear dreadful talcs of mar
tyrdom, and the whole country is called
upon to resent a Southern outrage. This
condition portends no ood, cither to
the neiiro race or to the communities in
which they live. It is simply discredita
ble that they show themselves so desti
tutc of manliness and independence, ami
suffer themselves to be chained like cap
tives to the-Republican chariot wheels in
stead of assumiut.' t lie riyht of freedom to
think and act for themselves. Admitting
that the circumstances attending thcii
liberation and their appeals to their prej
udice, so constantly made, would inclim
a majority of them to the Republican
party, it is at variance with all expert
euce that so larc a body, if composed o;
sentient lieins, could be an absolute nail
upon jjreat public (picstions without
some external controlliui; force to ac
count for it. livery opportunity ha:

confidence or respect of any part of otti
population whose respect and couftdenct
is worth having, which is occupied by
white men whose opinions vary, an'
who have the courage to jive utieranct
to their convictions. Let the colored
man refuse now and forever hereafter to

any party. Let him refuse to be "colo

with watchfulness, intelligence and hon

stated price, and that in New Hampshire,
for instance, it is easy to calculate will
exactness on the amount of purchasahlt
material. This is baser perhaps than the
usage of the negro voter. The New
Hampshire man knows what he is doing,
the negro docs not; the only similarity ol
knowledge is that a vote is worth money,
and both receive it.
Hut the fact is undeniable that the ne
gro vote is always cast without retercucc
to the iptestiott at issue, that such il vote
is absolutely and reliably subservient to
party uses, that one party solely controls
it, and shifts it from place to place, like
the ballast boxes on the deck of a North
river steamer to preserve disturbed equil
ibrium. Thus we see, or rather hear,
that negroes are transferred, almost
without concealment, into the border
white counties of Virginia to counteract
the legitimate white vote and the sameis
done to unlimited extent in Ohio, l-'ven
in ordinary times the negro holds tin
balance of power in all the .Northern and
Western States; and the momentous
picstions of State and national policy
are decided by a class of voters abso
lutely ignorant of the questions at issue
moved like pawns on a chess board
without intelligence of their own. It is.-i
tremendous peril in which philanthropy
and partisanship have placed the destiny
of the I'nited States.
THKMRtilSUCAMPAKiN-JIA
HIIKK'H KAt KTRflASON,
While taking a very deep interest in the
progress of political events in Virginia
as involving the etlor . and purpose to de
stroy the unity of the South, ami as alsi
involving the issue ofacontest more tlni
ever lielore defined by race antagonisms
wc have had no sjiecial reason to refer to
it, because wc could have had no possible
influence in aH'ecting results. Hut it is u
right we have to indulge in reflections
upon some of the incidents of a campaign
conducted on principles so abhorrent to
civilization, so destructive of internal
harmony, and so menacing to domestic
safety. For the leader of the Rcpubli
cans for the first time in the South, except
so far as Mahone himself on a previous
occasion had given an example, has relied
for a political victory upon race hostility,
arousing and aggravating that hostility
by apeals, direct or insidious, to all the
motives and passions of a race so related
as the negroes are to the social and polit
ical conditions of the South. I'pon the
success of his efforts to convert peaceful
friends into open or secret enemies, to
change trusted domestic confidants into
hidden traitors and incendiaries, Mahone
relies for his success. He stands, there
fore, a traitor to his race of whose inher
ent superiority no one is better convinced
than himself, a traitor to civilization
whose perpetuity is involved in the main
tenance of that supremacy, nnd a traitor
to this country, whose cacc isdestroyetl
by the subversion of that supremacy; all
that William Mahone may gratify a Sa
tanic ambition.
And Mahone' does not stand alone in
the execution of his plans. Behind him
and aiding him with countenance and
with counsel, with money and with work
ers, stands the great national adminis
tration, elected under the fond theory
that the President of the I'nited States is
the President of a w hole people and not
of one race and one party, and that the
peace, harmony and prus-icrity ot the
whole is a consideration paramount to
all selfish party aggrandizement. That
party became seetionalized when il be
came abolitionizcd ; it remains seetional
ized when it proves that its devotion to
the negro is so strong as to put every
other interest at hazard to demonstrate
it; not, however, to the negro as a mail,
lint to the ncuro as a party voter. That
party ami that administration will,
therefore, be held responsible for what
ever results from the success of Mahone.
That success is made to depend not upon
the establishment of any great principle
involved in the questions which divide
the two great parties; it is simply a ques
tion of party ascenda"cy to be attained
even at the expense of fearful internal
commotions, and the ruptureof race rela
tions which it would be the part ol
statesmanship anil patriotism lo
strengthen rather than disturb.
We quote the following dispassionate
view of the situation from the Philadel
phia Times of lite '."Jth, which speaks of
Mahone as follows:
His sole hope is in a race war, and he
has Virginia on the very verge of it now.
It is only by iiillaming the ignorant and
superstitious negro that he can yoke him
into service for Mahonc's demagogy, and
lie has been so tar successful its to make
the w hite people and property-owners ol
the State greatly concerned lor their
safety.
The battle in Virginia is simply a bat
tle between ignorance and intelligence;
between thrittlcssness and pioperty; be
tween honcsl government and licensed
prolligacy; anil the chid danger comes
from "the complete organiaiion of the
.olored votcis lor a crusadcot spoliation,
it is probable that Mahone would be
compelled lo cheat his deluded colored
followers if suceesslul ; but his triumph in
Virginia would unsettle the properly in
terests of the whole South, and give an in
tensity to the already thrcalcnmgrncc is
sue thalcould not but be most disastrous,
lo Southern tranquillity ami prosperity.
These grave considerations, however,
seem to tack- into insigiiilicaucc with the
administration helorc the importance ol
a party viclorv t hat would come in di
honor: and all the power ami spo
and spoils ot
command ot
the government are al lite
Mahone.
The battle in Virginia is made de
batable bv the universally inhumed negro
clement and the lavish promise id' party
plunder, bill the chances seem to be in
:avorolthe people who represent law,
order, property and prosperity. If Ma
hone shall win. he will al once become
ne of the great parly leaders of the
nation, and all who arc ambitious will
pay homage to him; if he shall be de
leatcd, he will be kicked out by tilt the
belter journals and leaders of the party
as the csiitcrous demagogue he really is.
Mahone has much at stake tn the ir-
iuia battle: bul the people ol Virginia
twice peace and property involved in the
li ULtgle.
The Wilmington Star notes tin incident
lighly characteristic of the North Caro
ina way of doing things. There was re
cived at Wilmington trout Mt. Airy a
obacco hogshead containing thirty
three bushels id' apples to be otl'crcd as
'tine mountain apples" in competition
with ihc Northern I'ruit. One was pre--ienlcd
lo the buyer in all ils bright
beauty, assorted according to size, color
and condition, each apple brushed and
polished until il glowed like a blushing
maiden's cheek ; the other tumbled heller
skelter into its huge receptacle, battered
.and bruised by its rough handling, ami
then poured out a contused dirty mass ol
half sound, half rotten fruit, repulsive to
the eye, and otlctisive lo lite senses, j
hen the shtppcr receives Ins account ot
sales, he w ill lay the blame of small re
turns upon the market wdiieh cannot ap
preciate home enterprise, or upon the
railroads which made such a mess of its
freight as to destroy its value. The fault
is in his own carelessness. Our people in
this, as in all other shipments of iicrisha
blc things, fruits, vegetables, poultry,
will never hold their own in competition
with other sections unless thev adopt
some of the ways of those sections. Thev
must address the public eye and the pub
lic tastes. These tilings are not to be de
spised ; and while the seller may have
contempt for effeminacy and fastidious
ness, these are governing sentiments in
those w ho buy to eat. Depend upon it,
there is money in care, in neatness and
the just discrimination of sorts and
qualities.
