Tt is not denied that tbis very cias3 r.rc -it -A without distinction to race or color," T he logical sejuqncc of, th is Republican doctrine is about to result in "practical ijcsincss", before these, bleached Jesuits are prepared for it. The truth is, these mischievous ;double-faccd whites, have out run their policy; jn trying to dupe the; ncgroy.-thcy aij thebsclvts about tb become the duped party. As tf&s devel oped in the late RcpuHiean Convention in Richmond, the gentlemen of Aulcan descent proves himself the ejual in polit ical strategy, as in capacity and merit, to the over-zealous, w'ite political associate and in the race for the political spoils, seems destined to obtain the booty first. The colored man begins to feel" his strength, and is determined not to be pushed aside by.any manipulating process. He is not willing to work the political machine, without compensation in a due proportion of the offices and patronage. This is all rational enough., dearly consequent upon the do-.trine of negro equality. We quote from the New Haven IZegtsier.

" The present negro programme xrfil lead to all tltat tec predict, if it goes on. AVe do not ;f;elicve the Radicals intended, it should bike this direction when they in augurated it.
