It is evident to cdbry carcfW observ
er of tlie developments of ftRdienlism
that the main plank in their platform.
“Stair and national,” is and will be the
disgusting doctrine of negro suffrage.
One needs but to glance at ttie proceed
ing* *f the piebald convention, irtw in
*ee*ion at the cnpilal. to see that the
“great party” (?) ave determined to
thrust upon the people of Arkansas
idggcr equality, even at the expense of
every other principle that should be
embodied in a State constitution. So
lardn the carpet sack gentry go in lliotv
admiration for the poor negro that
they outstrip tlie negro himself in their
demands upon the people for the be
stow ment of rights and privileges upon
this neglected prgple. Disgusting in
the extreme is tlie taste and deetrine
.of the Brooks school oJ1 liadicals, who
with but one idea would elevate the
negro and degrade the white man. The
purposes of the party are, however,
well understood by the people of Ark
ansas ; and a firm, fixed determination
is everywhere expressed to resist this
monstrous evil and save the honor and
dignity of the State. The Democratic
State Convention wisely declined to
make no broader issne than the one
laid down by themselves. This Was
distinct enough, the line was sufficient
ly drawn. Face to face now stands the
two parties of Arkansas, the one
pledged to negro suffrage with aH its
attending evils: the other uneoitfpre
liiisingly opposed to tl>is doctrine—
nothing more, nothing lees. If is bo
old party issue, but au issue that pla
ces a man at once opon his principle,
side by side with the Radicals of the
North, or hand in hand witli the white
man's party of Arkansas. It is not
ditteult to determine that the tiniest
and the best of the sons of Arkansas
will spurn the ‘'equality party," with
their now ideas and insulting doctrines
and regardless of past political differ
ences or prejudices, unite in harmony
for the defence of right aud the princi
ples taught ns by our forefathers. Ne
gro equality is too loathsome, even in
its mildest form, to b# for a moment
entertained. Negro suffrage, universal
suffrage, nor any other form iu which
the questisn may be put conferring suf
frage upon the negro, can meet with
the approbation of the thinking men
of the State. Wp are of that party that
cannot and will not tolerate negro suf
frage in any form. Wo arc opposed to
it now and all the time, from religion,
principle and education. “The gilt of
suffrage is the most fatal gift that was
ever bestowed, upon an uneducated
people.” it would be well if all would
understand ami appreciate this truth.
1 f when this gift was in the hands of
the comparatively wise, it was so exer
cised a* to bring ns to now, what will
the end be when the unlettered negro
holds it in ids him’. Suffrage is the
great pillars by which a republican
government is supported. It is the
life blood of our political organization,
a right that should he held with wis
dom and exercised with prudence.
How, TS ask, can thjuking men in all
(he light of the present, and with the
experience of the past, tor a moineni
contemplate so great a national sin as
Is embodied in this negro suffrage ; and
when it is proposed to make privileged
citizens of the ignorant negro, and take
the rights of citizenship from many of
the best and wisest men ol our State,
it is uu insult to reason too great for
description. The Radicals t'ill cer
tainly strain every nerve for ac”
complishment of their purpdSks in o'*!"
State with their present ticket, and
rule or ruin for their motto, they will
strive for power as a drowning man
for life. But they have made the issue
and upon it the white man's party will
meet them, and triumph as truth and
right will ever do. People of Arkau
sus, the work is before us—we can do
it if we will; let all be ready.

WftEKKAS, we believe this govern
ment was originally a white man'.
government, framed by white tnen for
the well being and protection of white
men, nud administered by white men
through all tlie gloomy days of the re
public ; and that none but white tnen
are capable of administering properly
the affairs of the government, or, arc
fit to be trusted in the management of
the affairs of state; and that the efforts
of the party now in power, known as
the liadicai party, are directed solely
with a view of perpetuating party pow
er, regardless of the best interests of
the wdiole people, by elevating the ne
gro and pulling down the white man,
the inevitable result of which will be
to bring nbout a war of races ; and
Wbbekas, also, we believe that the
party in power has already bankrupted
the government, destroyed confidence,
trampled under foot the constitution,
and are seeking to cngorcc confiscation
without direct legislation, and add
other measures of destruction to infect,
corrupt aud destroy the government

at the expense of the white man ; and,
believing it to be the duty of all good
citizens to use their best efforts, in a
peaceable way, to bring the govern
ment back to its original mooriugs un
der the constitution ; therefore, be it
Rksoi.ved, 1st. That, recognizing the
fact that the goveriiment i» drifting
into fanaticism and bankruptcy, we be

should be governed.

efforts of the convention now in ses

we condemn its action so far, believing
its action will result in great damage

“bilityofthe conservative element of
the fcnJite to vote down any constitu

that we can expect no good results
from the labor ot that convention, we
believe it the duty 01 all time men to

party, a committee of five be appointed

On motion to adopt Mr. Gair took
the floor and ably set forth the evil in
tentions of the Itadical party, and their
persistent determination to thrust ne
gro sufli age upon the country, which
was nothing' more, in the end, than ne
gro supremacy. He said lie was pre
pared then, and wnnld at all times be

WiSHiuoTint, Febmtry 3—Ten days
ago H was mtounceri by flic Tbieonstruc
tion Committee, which has seemed to
he paramount ih influence in this Con
gress, that the Supreme Court should
not dec Me a law of Congress un«fln
stitutional. That committee have
found it convenient to smother—to kill
their own bantling—and it will never
be reported to the House. A similar
disposition will be made of the resoln
tiotrin reference to Judge Field. Con
gress dare not call an investigation of
the declaration of that officer, when it
is known that Chief Justice Chase has
often expressed his opinion on the sub
ject of the reconstruction measures.
The President sent the name of Col.
Wiseman as Commissioner of Inter
nal ■'Revenue, in place of Mr. Rollins.
Mr. Wiseman is strongly indorsed both
for integrity and capacity.
A committee representing the leather,
boot and shoe interests, from the late
Manufacturers’ Convention, at Worces
ter, Mass., arrived here Saturday even
ing. The gentlemen were presenting
their claims among Congressmen, and
are to have an interview lo morrow
with the Wnys and Means Committee.
They want thw tax titken from boots
and shoes and other manufhet tires of
leather, and, ns we learu. have already
been advised that the Ways and gleans
ifit.>.> Jiuve norreed to relieve
them, as well as other manufactures.
The Committee on Wavs and Means
were engaged for four or five hours on
Saturday with the delegation represent
ing the tobacco interests. The discus
sion is said to have been quite lively
and earnest. It is understood that the
Committee have substantially agreed
upon the policy of a stamp duty upon
tobacco in all its forms.
It is understood that the President
last night stated, in reference to the
question of an immediate settlement of
the Alabama claims, that he proposes
to wait and see what authority the new
English Minister is vested with by the
British Government, on this question,
before he makes out his line of policy.
The new Minister, Sir Edward Thorn
ton, will he presented to him to-mor
row, and after that time he will con
sider what course is proper for him to
pursue.
The further consideration of the case
o, Jc!'n Young Brown was postponed
in the House this evening until next
Monday. So far his claims have been
defended with an ability worthy of the
palmiest days of Congress. The tacts
were presented by Mr. Black on Satur
day, in an elaborate speech which, for
forensic power, has not been equalled
in the House for years. Mr. Knott, of
Kentucky, followed in an argument
upon *h?ronstitutional questions invol
ved iu the act, prcseniir'Jf tHc odious
test oath, which is regarded by loyd!
men as the ablest that has yet appeared
upon that subject either in or ont of
Congress, and to-day Mr. Kerr, of In
diana, resumed the argument iu a speech
which perhaps surpassed iu power any
oilier he has ever made. His exposure
of the wilful provisions ofboth law and
fact by Davis and Cook, iu their feeble
defense fit the majority report, was
terrific.
